(TECH NOTE: NPC apologizes for the sound quality on this one. Two of the tracks had to be recovered from a backup copy and the end result was not up to our usual standards. It still should sound okay, but it is a bit rougher than previous work.) Our journey through the original TMNT & Other Strangeness RPG books continues with arguably the most awesome Palladium RPG product ever written: Transdimensional TMNT! This one's been out of print for a good while now, but fortunately it's coming back
