#118 – On Perception Rolls

Today's fairly rambling discussion episode is (mostly) about the idea of "Perception Rolls" in Palladium's games. It's a contentious subject, and after you give us a listen, we invite you to share your own thoughts on the matter on our Discord server.

#116 – Rifter #9 Review

Our march through the Rifter series takes us to Rifter #9, which brings about the end of the TMNT license for Palladium Books. It was a sad event for the fans, and the article on that topic is worth reading. Join us for a look at this issue, and then head over to Discord to share your feelings on the game with us!

By this we mean the trend of on-shelf RPG selections dwindling to scant pale shadows of their former glory, simultaneous with their previous varieties being hacked and slashed down to just 5E, Pathfinder, maybe Warhammer (if we're lucky), and 50 variants of Kids on Bikes. In this era where Magic the Gathering and D&D 5E are the law of the land, we old-timers must now find our glimmers of
