#128 – In Defense of Fudging Dice

#127 – Examining Palladium's AD&D Roots

Just Jacob is back again as we take a look back at the origins of Palladium's Fantasy RPG, and discuss the assumptions of gaming awareness that permeated the hobby back in the day. If you haven't tried the first edition of the game, we highly recommend it, both as a damn solid game and also as a look into an important era of the hobby's history.

#126 – In Defense of Min-Maxing

For the next several episodes, Just Jacob joins us again as a guest host, as Matthew has had some medical issues preventing him from recording. For this first of a new batch of discussions, we talk about the idea of "min-maxing" characters for fun and profit, and take a stab at defending the practice in moments where it makes the most sense. Drop by discord afterward and share stories of your favorite min-maxed characters!

#122 – Our Favorite OCCs

In response to another listener request, we spend this episode talking about our personal favorite OCCs in Rifts and a few other Palladium properties as well. This is probably a topic we will revisit multiple times down the line as we do this show, re-reading the hundreds of books we have still yet to even mention, let alone review. Thanks for the topic suggestion, friends!

#120 – Rifts Manhunter

We're back from a life break to release more fun discussion on Palladium's gmaes, yay! This time we're looking at the first and only (for a long time) third-party licensed Rifts book, the Manhunter RPG, from Myrmidon Press. This sleeper and oft-forgotten title from the early 90s somehow managed to completely blow our minds. Give this a listen and then stop by our Discord to share your thoughts on it!
