#201 – Set the Scene #1 (After the Bomb)

Picking up right after our last session, we're starting our first of what we plan on being a regularly-recurring new themed episode format for the show. GM John from Real Play Games again joins us to kick off what we're calling "The Glitterbois Set the Scene," a series of episodes that show how the Palladium system functions at the table, with single scenes that could be played in their game worlds. Instead of an ongoing campaign narrative, these will be all over the place, and hopefully feature characters

#200 – After the Bomb Character Jam w/ GM John

To celebrate our 200th main series episode of this cast, we're joined by special guest and friend of the show, GM John from the Real Play Games Podcast. Given that cast's several seasons of After the Bomb actual play stories, we felt he was the perfect choice to guest on this special episode dedicated to demonstrating the character creation for that game. And hint-hint: this is only the first part of something new and awesome we are doing here...

#199 – Mutants Down Under

Next up on our dive through the books is Mutants Down Under, the third official title in the "After the Bomb" series of RPG supplements, originally for the TMNT & Other Strangeness game line. This book is awesome.

#198 – Road Hogs

We initially planned to record this as a combo episode talking about both Road Hogs and Mutants Down Under at the same time. After all, we figured, they're both really slim, they can't have more than a half hour combined talk, right? Wrong! So this is just Road Hogs, and we have a lot to say!

#197 – The BIO-E System

Today we're talking about the BIO-E system that is present in After the Bomb and the TMNT & Other Strangeness RPG. It's a fantastic point-buy character-crafting tool that we wish was more common in their games. Hopefully we'll get a revival of interest in it with the new TMNT Redux releases!

#196 – Skills Acquisition and Adjudication

This one's a fun round table chat on how we manage the awarding, acquisition, and ruling of skills in our games (as usual with a heavy focus on Palladium). Lots of ideas and different opinions here, so give us a listen and then drop by discord to share your own ideas!

#195 – Awarding Experience Points

Today we're talking about Experience Points in RPGs (primarily Palladium), some of the common methods for awarding them, and our own preferences as GMs. This round table topic was suggested by one of our Discord users, and provided way more fodder than expected! Thanks for the suggestion, and keep them coming folks!
