(TECH NOTE: NPC apologizes for the sound quality on this one. Two of the tracks had to be recovered from a backup copy and the end result was not up to our usual standards. It still should sound okay, but it is a bit rougher than previous work.)
Our journey through the original TMNT & Other Strangeness RPG books continues with arguably the most awesome Palladium RPG product ever written: Transdimensional TMNT! This one's been out of print for a good while now, but fortunately it's coming back soon in a renewed combined edition thanks to the recent highly successful TMNT Redux Kickstarter. After listening, please drop by our Discord server to chat about your favorite time-and-dimension-hopping memories with the TMNT RPG!

Hello friends! We finally got (most of) our schedules aligned to be able to get Kevin Siembieda and Sean Owen Roberson - aka Palladium Books - on the show! They're here to tell us (and you) all about their awesome new upcoming Kickstarter project for the TMNT RPG redux / special editions. Such excite! There's some good info here, so give us a listen and then join our Discord server to discuss your thoughts on the project.
Also, please allow us this moment of squee: YAY WE FINALLY GOT KEVIN ON! AND SEAN BACK, HE'S PRETTY COOL TOO!
NPC says: I had hoped to get this out three days ago, but came down with a pretty vicious cold the same day we did the recording and basically floored me right after. You can actually hear the rasp that is overtaking my voice in this one, so I apologize if my track sounds rougher than usual. But I'm thrilled we could still get it out this week, before the project's launch!

Today we're talking about the Glory Days of Butts! Oh wait, no, we're actually just talking about another - you know it - "iconic" core OCC from Rifts, the Mystic. The mystic is a simple but fun class that blends magic and psionics together into a kitchen sink kind of caster, which fits pretty solidly in a kitchen sink kind of setting like Rifts.

Today we're talking about a crucial part of all role-playing games: effectively recording your character's numbers and details. Long-time readers and players of Palladium games are probably very familiar with the mega-dense official character sheets that appear in many of their books, and there are a few really awesome fan-made sheets out there as well. What are your favorite sheets and/or methods? Drop by Discord and share!

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.

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.

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.

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!

In recognition of this year being the 40th anniversary of the Palladium Fantasy RPG, we're dedicating our next few episodes to taking a look at the rest of the original line-up of first edition fantasy world books. In this one we cover two of them at once, as books 4 and 5 were both slim enough and covered related content. Join us as we chat excitedly over how awesome the Northern Wilderness is, and then join us on Discord to share your own favorite gaming memories in this realm!

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!

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!

A very happy new year to everyone! We wanted to kick this year off with a hefty dose of positivity. To accomplish this, we wanted to finally spend an episode acknowledging the awesome podcast reviews that we have received so far, and thank everyone for leaving such kind words about us. We are also finally ready to launch and announce a brand new Ko-Fi page, to hopefully help us pay some of the production costs. Thanks for all your kindness and support, folks!

Today we gnash our teeth over the growing trend of "homogenization" of our once-great "Friendly Local Game Shops" (FLGS). By this we mean the trend of on-shelf RPG selections dwindling to scant pale shadows of their former glory, simultaneous with their previous varieties being hacked and slashed down to just 5E, Pathfinder, maybe Warhammer (if we're lucky), and 50 variants of Kids on Bikes. In this era where Magic the Gathering and D&D 5E are the law of the land, we old-timers must now find our glimmers of gaming goodness on the dark, cobweb-strewn corners of the internet, such as this one.

Apparently these recurring monthly updates are becoming a regular thing! Getting serious for a sec, Matthew was in a pretty bad wreck and needs to take some time off to recover. His car is totaled and he is dealing with some major pain, so any donations you want to throw our way will be welcomed with our deepest gratitude, and be passed along to his recovery fund. I'm bringing on a guest host in the interim, to keep content flowing. Thanks again for your love and support!

Today we respond to listener email! This episode's topic comes from Douglas, who asks for some advice on making game prep easier. Matthew and NPC both have their own tidbits to share, and while it's mostly focused on running Rifts games, it can be applied to a lot more beyond. If you have your own tips, please drop by our Discord and share them!

We are not experts on anything that we talk about. Just fans - really passionate ones with a lot of experience in the subject, but still just fans. But the more we read, play, and talk about these games, the greater our expertise grows. In this free-form episode we converse about our experiences so far, what we've learned, and what we hope to see.

Join us for a fun thought experiment, in which we take the characters from Marvel's Avengers (primarily the MCU versions) and use them as root inspirations for a similarly-focused adventurer team in the Rifts role-playing game. We are very specifically not just re-creating them in the system, but instead looking through the Rifts catalog for options to create characters using those heroes as thematic templates. Included is a deeper discussion on how the seeming lack of balance in the game can actually work in the story at your table just as well as it would an Avengers movie.

It's time for another look at the character classes of Rifts, this time with the Operator as the subject of our focus. This rugged post-apoc mechanic is a staple of many great and effective Rifts parties, and we're gonna tell you why, including a comparison between the Butts and the Ultimate editions' versions.

We're back with another free-form house rules discussion. This one starts off focused on the idea of converting to "stat-based skills" in Palladium games, but then drifts into a good deep stat-focused discussion across many systems of gaming.

Join us for a look into the innards of Palladium's oft-forgotten Y2K-themed apocalypse game, Systems Failure. I can't help but assume that if you are a Palladium fan, then you probably know of and even remember Y2K, but for those new to the concept, just know that the tech world collectively lost its shit in the late 1990s thanks to some short-sighted date formatting in the computers of Early Man. This game takes that to the next level!
And don't forget to take part in our new book club! The first book is "Genesis" by Jack McKinney, the first of the Robotech novels.

After a comedy of errors involving terrible internet service providers, we have finally found opportunities to record again in the new year. So welcome back to the Glitterbois! And thanks for a fantastic and loving first year of our show. It's time to continue with one that has been on our thought board for a while now, and given recent times it's even more relevant than ever. That would be: Real Life (and more importantly old age) and how it interferes with our gaming hobby. Give us a listen, then join us on Discord to share your own tales and tips on the matter.

We're taking another look at the Chaos Earth campaign setting this time, and shining a spotlight on one of the more versatile Rifts classes out there: the NEMA Soldier. This class is a fantastic working template for ideas that you can apply to just about any other basic military character in the Megaverse. What are your favorite NEMA Soldier memories?

In this review episode, we take a look at the first ever expansion book for the original butts edition of Rifts. That's right, it's time for the Rifts Sourcebook, and everyone's favorite joke-named psychopath, James T! This is the book where ARCHIE-3 really came into his full glory for the first time. It's got adventure, it's got new bad guys, it's got new gear, and a whole lot more. For this episode we're focusing on the original version - the revised edition is coming soon.

This time we're taking a walk Beyond the Megaverse, in what we expect will be an occasional series on the show where we look at properties and media related to our gaming interests. Starting things off, we're looking now at the old Alternity RPG from TSR, published in 1998 but then abandoned with the WotC acquisition and the launch of 3rd Edition. NPC is currently running a campaign using it, and so it's fresh on our minds for discussion!

In this episode we go a bit free-form again, and brainstorm what special holidays might exist in the setting of Rifts North America. While our conversation is largely focused on and around the Coalition States and surrounding areas, we do take the time to delve a bit deeper into what defines a holiday, and how they often come to be. What are YOUR favorite fictional RPG holidays?

This is the first in what we hope will be a recurring series of character spotlights pulled directly from fan submissions. This one is inspired by our listener Clem, who statted up a fascinating new After the Bomb character on Twitter. We decided to take the stat sheet and see what kind of story we could come up with. Thanks Clem!
And stick around after the credits for some bonus unrelated nerd wankery.

We spend this episode in a free-form idea-jamming discussion on ways to re-imagine certain "logistically problematic" elements of the default Rifts Earth setting. Most if these ideas are rooted in NPC's struggles with presenting the story of the world in his games in a way that fits his mind's eye view of the world. Give us a listen for some of our ideas on ways to unleash your imaginations, then drop in to our Discord and talk about your own ideas.

Back after another unexpected break, we continue our ongoing OCC Spotlight series with a look at yet another "iconic" character from the Rifts RPG: The Borg! AKA the "Combat Borg" if you're only familiar with the Ultimate Edition. This nigh unstoppable powerhouse of murderosity has been a go=to favorite of long time players for decades, and in this episode we're here to tell you why. We spend time comparing the renditions of this class across the two editions of the game, and also dice deeper into some role-playing inspirations for players wanting to bring a Borg to the gaming table.

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!

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.

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.

Now we dive into the line of spin-off "Dimension Books" for the Rifts Roleplaying game, starting with the official first of that line: Wormwood! Kicking the line off with a resounding crunch, Wormwood is an epic heavy metal, good vs evil, "hold a candle against the great dark tide" kind of campaign setting. There's a lot here to talk about, so give us a listen and then let us know your favorite parts of this weird action horror game world!

Continuing our talk about all things vampiric in the Palladium Megaverse, we're now diving into the pages of the primo book on everyone's favorite bloodsuckers in Rifts: the Vampire Kingdoms World Book.

In this more conversational episode, we muse over ways to reconcile the contrast between the expectations of technology in Rifts - which was written largely in the late 80s and early 90s - and our own understanding of the technology of our modern 21st century world. We discuss things like computers, communications, electronics, and more. What's your preferred approach to this conundrum? Write us and let us know!

Since both of us recently acquired copies of the super-limited black-and-gold Rifts 30th Anniversary hardback edition, we're here (nominally) to review the overall book and its new content. In actuality we spend most of the time waxing nostalgic on how awesome the original content really is. Turns out neither of us had looked through the original Butts Edition in a lot longer than we remembered! If you also got your hands on one of these, drop into Discord and let us know your number!

We're back to talk about inspirational fiction for helping you get into the "Rifts mindset!" When running any new RPG campaigns, we find that it can be super helpful to immerse yourself in as much relevant and tangential fiction as possible. Give us a listen to hear some of our favorites, and then write in and tell us your own suggestions!

Just Jacob's guest run with us concludes (for now) with a guided look into one of the "oddities" among the Palladium catalog: RECON, the RPG of the Vietnam War. This one is interesting in that it is not part of the usual Megaversal system that connects most of their games. If you're interested in learning more about it, give us a listen!

After a lot of listener requests, we're again taking a look at other Palladium RPG properties. Since there is a handful of them that the two of us are sadly not as well-versed in, we've invited our friend and fellow Breakfast Puppy host "Just Jacob" to join and talk about them. First on the list is Heroes Unlimited, Palladium's classic take on superhero comics-style role-playing.

We've made it to episode 50! Huzzah! To celebrate we're doing a longer episode, talking about the default villains of the Rifts RPG: the Coalition States. Love 'em or hate 'em (or love to hate 'em!), they are a hallmark of the setting, and there's just so much lore on them to devour. Listen in as we talk about our takes on the faction, their core classes, and ways to involve them in campaigns.

Our OCC Spotlight series continues as we take a gander at another, ahem, iconic character class from the fantastic Rifts role-playing game. The CK is a true knight-errant for the modern post-post-apocalypse, a wandering ass-kicking do-gooder respected across the Megaverse, and rightfully so. Give us a listen as we talk about what makes this class great!

We're continuing our look into the Rifts OCCs with the skill-heavy Rogue Scholar. This is yet one more "iconic" class from the game, and it's a damn good one. We talk about the changes to the character class across the game's rules editions, and what you can expect if you play one.

We're back from an unexpected short "deal with life issues" hiatus! This episode is our first listener-response episode, based on a question sent to us by a fan asking how we handle Unskilled skill checks in our games. I couldn't find actual printed rules for this, so we're talking at length about how we do it in our home games. and give some tips on how to adapt our methods to yours.

In this issue of the OCC Spotlight series, we're looking at another core (and iconic) Rifts character class, the Psi-Hound - better known as the "Dog Boy." This is NPC's favorite class, hands down, across the entire Rifts catalog. We talked about Dog Boys a bit in our character creation series, but now we're here to give it a deeper dive!

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.

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!

Continuing our trek through the character creation process, we take a look at the various OCC choices presented in the Rifts Ultimate Edition, and go into detail on why we picked the Dog Boy specifically.

Also, by the time this episode releases, it will be Kevin's birthday. Happy Birthday, good sir! We wish you the best!

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.

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!

This one is our first-ever hopefully-annual unboxing of our awesome Palladium Christmas Grab Bags! It's the best deal in gaming, in our opinions, and a great chance to get more Palladium (and related!) books that you don't already have. Listen in to see what we each got in ours!
And check out the video of Matthew's unboxing!

Brandon joins us again! This time we kick off another hopefully-recurring segment called "Character Spotlight," wherein we pick a character and discuss them at length. It may be a character from the books, a character we've played in our own games, or even a character from popular media that we want to stat up in Palladium rules. This time, we're talking about Martin Goodish, Brandon's character in our ongoing Rifts campaign.
