The Glitterbois Play Rifts 14: He's a Slurmph!

You are probably wondering, what the heck is a Slurmph? Dustin is. He's a Slurmph. And he'll let you know, in case you forgot. It's time to meet Dustin and Edmundo, best friends forever!

EDITOR'S NOTES: A couple of additional tech notes here. Ironically, although we all touted the great qualities of the alternate FX-heavy patron-exclusive renders at the end of this episode, there didn't end up being many moments worth adding sound effects to in this one. Additionally, due to some audio issues, this episode took a lot longer to edit than normal and I really wanted to get it out the door. So this time around, there is no alternate FX version. My apologies! If it's any consolation, since we just finished recording it, I can promise you that the next episode has a lot more effects.

Also, due to the normal biological needs of the human body, Alex had stepped away from the table right before we closed out, and thus wasn't present when we were introducing ourselves. In case you were not aware, Henry is played by Alex. Thanks, Alex!

#214 – TMNT Redux Game Play Retrospective

In this episode, the three of us take some time to collect our thoughts on the recent "Set the Scene" episode, in which we played the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness REDUX Edition (with Sean Roberson as a quest). We talk about how it worked, what we liked, and what we thought could have gone better.

#213 – Beyond the Megaverse: Breachworld

Today we are once again venturing BEYOOONNNND THE MEGAVERRRRSSSEE (echo echo echo), to take a look at the D6 Breachworld RPG, written by Palladium freelancer Jason Richards. It's a very heavily Rifts-inspired game, but with unique twists on the core premise of the game world. If you've played it, we'd love to hear your experiences on our Discord server!

The Glitterbois Play Rifts 13: Look Who's Gorshkovving!

The Greatest Family Adventure of the Century continues! An old friend returns, after a harrowing encounter with a temptress from the nether depths of Atlantis. Bronson learns to play Cricket, while Henry, Drom, and Mister Cat try to start a barbershop quartet - Riley was too stubborn to join, so if you know a tenor looking for a gig, they have an opening. And throughout it all, Gorshkov learns a hard lesson in bovine love behind the wheels of the Shimmy-Sham. Nobody ever reads this, so why be accurate?

The Glitterbois Play Rifts 12: A Villain is Born

The Coalition is upon us! The confrontation with the Coalition has finally arrived! Will our heroes somehow find a way out of this deadly pickle of an encounter against such overwhelming force? Listen and find out!

On a tech note, this one's pretty epic. We are normally keeping the Effects-heavy alternate renders as exclusive bonuses for our patrons and supporters. However, the effects work-up on this one was pretty awesome, and as such we're gonna release the fully-decked-out version to the main feed, as an example of the kind of stuff on the patron feed. We hope you enjoy!

And this time, be sure to listen all the way to the end!
