Matthew's here to lead us through a deep look into his favorite character from the Robotech series, Roy Fokker. Roy is everyone's favorite pineapple-salad-loving Veritech-flying Big Brother, and it's a shame we never got to see him fully statted up. Write us and let us know what your favorite Roy moment was from the series!

If you've heard anything at all about Palladium games, then you've most certainly heard complaints from folks about its supposed lack of "balance" in the various books. Well, we're finally here to tackle that dreaded spectral ogre of argument, and give our own personal takes on the matter. What does "balance" actually mean, and how is it implemented in Palladium? And is that a good thing or bad thing? Opinions are always flying on this one, but give us a listen if you want to hear ours.

Gather 'round, young'uns, and listen to an old-timer proclaim his deep and undying love for one of the most "metal" forms of magical power that Palladium Fantasy has to offer: the Enchanted F'ing Cauldron. NPC educates Matthew on the way we wizards had to get new spells back in the day, and how knowledge of that method changes one's perception of the fundamentals of magic in Palladium's various RPGs.

We continue our new OCC Spotlight series by dropping to the opposite extreme of the power spectrum, taking a look at one of NPC's favorite classes, the Vagabond. We discuss how "less can be a whole lot more" when Role-Playing is the name of the game, and dive into our thoughts on the subject of many a great nerd-fight: class balance in Palladium games.

Following up on last episode's theme, we're doing another brief game introduction, this time on Palladium's late Robotech RPG. This one is Matthew's all time favorite, and as such we have a lot of glowing things to say about it. Give us a listen, and let us know what your own favorite Robotech RPG memories are!

We're back! In this episode we're giving a brief introduction to the Palladium Fantasy Role-Playing Game, starting with the OG itself, the first edition release. If you've ever had any curiosity about what separates it from any other fantasy game, give us a listen, and then let us know what you think!

The last few weeks have been a bit tumultuous for us here in the USA, resulting in less time spent recording and more spent starting at news feeds in abject horror. But thankfully we now have new batches up episodes loaded in the feed, and hopefully we can establish a bit of regularity here. Our initial aim is for Tuesday and Thursday releases. If we can build up a good padding, we'll probably push for adding Saturdays as well, and who knows, maybe more.

Join us as we take a narrative stroll through the games that we are currently playing! AS it so happens, all of us are in the same game currently (Rifts!), so we have a lot of good things to say about it.

Apologies for the slight change in audio quality on this one, we had a Zoom glitch during our podcast session that resulted in the last two episodes of our first session getting corrupted. Fortunately we had backup audio, but the backup was pulled from a combined tertiary Zoom track, and is not as good as our previous batch. Future episodes will not have this issue!
