#47 – OCC Spotlight on the Cyber Knight

Our OCC Spotlight series continues as we take a gander at another, ahem, iconic character class from the fantastic Rifts role-playing game. The CK is a true knight-errant for the modern post-post-apocalypse, a wandering ass-kicking do-gooder respected across the Megaverse, and rightfully so. Give us a listen as we talk about what makes this class great!

#46 – OCC Spotlight on the Rogue Scholar

We're continuing our look into the Rifts OCCs with the skill-heavy Rogue Scholar. This is yet one more "iconic" class from the game, and it's a damn good one. We talk about the changes to the character class across the game's rules editions, and what you can expect if you play one.

#45 – Rules Talk: Unskilled

We're back from an unexpected short "deal with life issues" hiatus! This episode is our first listener-response episode, based on a question sent to us by a fan asking how we handle Unskilled skill checks in our games. I couldn't find actual printed rules for this, so we're talking at length about how we do it in our home games. and give some tips on how to adapt our methods to yours.

#44 – OCC Spotlight on the Dog Boy

In this issue of the OCC Spotlight series, we're looking at another core (and iconic) Rifts character class, the Psi-Hound - better known as the "Dog Boy." This is NPC's favorite class, hands down, across the entire Rifts catalog. We talked about Dog Boys a bit in our character creation series, but now we're here to give it a deeper dive!

#43 – Insanities in Palladium

Palladium's games almost always have a built-in system for driving your characters bonkers. We're here to look at that appropriately-named "Insanity" mechanic, and talk about its various (sometimes troublesome) incarnations throughout the years.

#40 – Rules Talk: The Acronyms of Combat

Combat can be somewhat intimidating to new players, especially with all the new acronyms being thrown around. We're here to explain the four basic acronyms upon which the rest of the combat system is ultimately based: AR, HP, SDC, and MDC. Give us a listen and find out how they all interact, and hopefully we can make the process less confusing!

#39 – Mechanoid Invasion Trilogy, Part 3

With this episode, we conclude our unintentional trilogy of episodes looking into the great collected Mechanoid Invasion Trilogy book. This was a really damn fun book to dive into, and we both look forward to the Mechanoids returning in future episodes as we dive deeper into the vast Palladium Books catalog of offerings.
