Our new RIFTS actual play series continues! Our excellent friend and guest GM Kyle from the Bastard Quest podcast returns for another session. In this episode, Troy learns a lesson in peeking where he doesn't belong-- oh who am I kidding, of course he doesn't learn anything.

#181 – Chat with Ramón K Pêrez

Hells to the Yes! We are joined today by the excellent Ramón K Pêrez, who we hope most of our listeners immediately recognize as the artist behind many of the great works of the late-90s era Palladium product releases. Ramón was a delight to have on the show, sharing many tales of his days working for Palladium, and details behind his work in the years that followed. This was such a lovely chat, and we hope you all enjoy it as much as we did!

The Glitterbois Play Rifts #001: Stepping Through a Rift in Cincinatti

We are super duper mega ultra dragon kick excited to finally release the first session of something that's been in the cooker for almost a year now: our brand new actual play campaign of Rifts!

There's a lot we could say here, but for this inaugural episode, I think we'll keep things spoiler-free here (for now). Give it a listen, then drop by our Discord and let us know what you think!

#180 – Rifts World Book 9: South America 2

NPC and Buckley are kicking off a long series of back to back dives into the earlier Rifts World Books (we need to catch up!), starting with South America 2. It's a fantastic companion piece to CJ's previous book on the continent, and we're super excited to talk about it.

#179 – House Rule: Three-Phase Combat Rounds

This one's another talk about some of our house rules in our home Palladium games. We start with a deeper dive into the structure of the "Three-Phase Combat Round" rule, which can help to more easily break up the flow of attacks for those of you who prefer the old school style of combat structure. Then we move into an impromptu discussion of timing your grenades, followed by another on the topic of handling movement within the confines of Attacks Per Melee.

Today we give our new recurring host Buckley an official welcome and introduction episode. Buckley's been a friend of the Puppies for years, and happens to be a long time Palladium fan as well. We're heartbroken for Matthew to have to step down, but we're all increasingly familiar with how Life can be a hurdle to itself sometimes. Welcome Buckley, and good luck Matthew!

The best part is that we totally forgot to do a dive into the skills and other abilities of the class. Which means we'll have to revisit this class in the future! Huzzah! Haters gonna hate!
