In response to another post from a fine upstanding member of our Discord community, we're talking about the concept of the "skill tax" in Palladium RPGs. This extends into a greater discussion of Physical Skills, how they work, and how we feel about them in our own games and experiences.
This episode was recorded back in November, IIRC, so some of the stuff discussed about the grab bags might be a tad outdated, but the holiday special should still be up and running by the time this launches!

Listener response to the first "Set the Scene" episode was so overwhelmingly positive that we decided to get another one in the feed as soon as possible. This time we're taking things back to the roots, with Palladium Fantasy 1st Edition, and a little ol' dungeon called the Tombs of Gersidi. For this session we're joined by both Kevin Siembieda of Palladium Books, and Sean Casey, who plays the Crazy in our ongoing Rifts Actual Play series.
This session was a blast, and we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed recording it. And as an added bonus for our supporters and patrons, the Character Creation session for these characters was also recorded, and will be released very soon on the patron feeds!
Also there's still time to get your Xmas Grab Bags from Palladium! Don't miss out on the best annual deal in gaming!

We're back for another system-agnostic, round-table discussion, this time focusing on the idea of using "Player Table Roles" in your games. For the unaware, these are meta-roles that the players can take to help facilitate better play, and also ease the load of work on the GM's shoulders. Did we miss any? Let us know!

The story continues when the party meets THE DARK FALCON. Who is THE DARK FALCON? You can only find out by listening to THE DARKEST OF FALCONS, so you too can experience the revelation of the true identity of THE DARK FALCON. Insert falcon screech here! Also we do a lot of shopping. GRENADES! FINALLY!
Special note to listeners: A heads up that some point in the next few releases, we will be releasing the Effects-Enhanced versions of these episodes as bonuses for our patrons. The main feed will feature a complete episode, including all bonus outtakes when they are present. This episode is fully FX'd though, and we hope you enjoy the fun added accents!

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 and settings from all over the entire Megaverse.
We hope you enjoy this! Please drop by our Discord and share your feedback and ideas! And if you haven't done so already, check out Real Play Games using the links in these show notes, too!

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...
Thanks to all of you listeners for your support over the last 200+ episodes of this podcast! We look forward to many more to come.

I mean the title really does tell you everything. Someone gives Bronson a shotgun. Hilarity ensues. Give a listen to find out more!

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.
And oh damn, look at that episode number! I wonder what's coming up next...

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!
