Much like magnets famously do to a pair of rapping clowns, missiles in Palladium have mystified and frustrated players for 30-odd years now. We're finally here to talk about them, and how they are meant to be played at the table. If you have your own missile house rules, write us and share them!

In this issue of the Rules Talk, we're breaking down the rules for "Attacks per Melee" in Palladium RPGs, and explaining how they are calculated and used. If you've ever had confusion over the basic currency of combat action in Palladium we hope to help clear it up for you!

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!

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.

We're going all the way back to where it started: THE MECHANOIDS! Specifically, we're taking a look at Palladium's collected "The Mechanoid Invasion Trilogy." When we met to record this episode, we really didn't think we'd have so much to say about it. What was meant to be a 20 minute or so episode turned into a really long chat! As such, we've broken this up into a three-parter, to stick with our targeted short-form episode focus. Join us next time for part two!

Hey, we're back with another "Intro to" episode! This time around we're getting into one of Palladium's most unique games, the modern body horror RPG known as Nightbane (or if you're a hipster like NPC, it's Nightspawn). If you have ever wanted to get a taste of what this fantastically monstrous game is all about, give us a listen. Then give it a play, and write us to share your own Nightbane stories!
