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! We are joined by special guest Game Master Kyle, from the Bastard Quest podcast. 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.

#178 – Buckley's Welcome

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!

#176 – OCC Spotlight on the Techno-Wizard (Rifts)

In today's episode of the Glitterbois, Just Jacob makes the Baby Doctor Articulus cry. You don't want to make the baby cry, do you? Give us a listen and then stop by our Discord to let Jacob know (respectfully) how wrong he is.

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!
