#72 – OCC Spotlight on the Cyclone

We're finally back to doing another Robotech episode, and this time we're taking a deeper look at the awesome Cyclone. These soldiers with their transforming suits of motorcycle armor are just about the coolest damn things ever made, and you get to play one! We also talk about some of the extended properties around the Cyclone, including the lamentably awful Xbox games. Give us a list, then let us know your favorite versions of the Cyclone!

#71 – Rifts Atlantis Review

Our trek through the Rifts World Book series continues with World Book 2: Atlantis! Another fantastic entry in the new (at the time) Rifts game line, this book gave everyone their first actual look at the foul Splugorth, who would still be recurring villains three decades later today. Atlantis has so much to offer, so if you're not yet familiar with it, give us a listen!

#69 – A Look at the Splicers RPG

Responding to a request from our listener "jonesy" we are taking a deep look at a somewhat more obscure title from Palladium: the Splicers Role-Playing Game. In this Cronenberg-meets-Akira-meets-Gore-Police body horror setting, bio-organic supermen fight a losing war against a world-dominating Robot AI bent on extermination of the entire human race. Give us a listen, and then drop by on Discord and talk with us about your favorite Splicers game stories!

One post-recording correction: We've just learned that there was another Splicers book in the form of an Adventure Sourcebook. Awesome!

Also, in this and the following few episodes, I realized too late after the fact that my headphone cable was tapping against the mic stand and causing a really tiny but somewhat annoying sound. I've cut it out in most places, but it still comes through sometimes when I'm talking. I've since fix the issue, so after this batch it will sound a lot better, but for now I apologize if there is an annoying click in there.

#68 – Other 90s RPGs that Inspired Us

Palladium's role-playing games have always been - and probably will always still be - our biggest RPG loves. But at the same time we were really getting into them, there were a number of other 1990s-era RPGs which had a huge impact on our imaginations. In this episode, we're taking an aside to talk about the biggest of those other games that also helped shape us into the tabletoppers that we are today.
