#133 – Shields in Palladium's RPGs

Today's Rules Talk is all about using shields in the Palladium RPG rules system. We unsurprisingly have a lot to say on the matter, so strap on your buckler and give us a listen. Afterward, drop by Discord and share your own takes on the rules!

AND AN EDITING NOTE: NPC realizes after the fact that he mixed up his Conan references. The moment in Nabonidus's tower (in Rogues in the House) involved a thrown stool, not a sword. The thrown sword was actually in Black Colossus. May Mitra have mercy on his soul.

#130 – Paired Weapons and Simultaneous Attacks

Effing paired weapons, how do they work? And I don't wanna talk to a scientist. Instead, just give us a listen as we lay out the basics of the skill, and most importantly how it ties seamlessly into the oft-forgotten "simultaneous attack" defense option in Palladium combat. Did we miss something, or get it wrong? Drop by our Discord and share your thoughts!
