The Glitterbois

Read transcript

This is another shorter discussion on the various rules options of Palladium's role-playing games. Today we're looking at two of the more popular "must-have!" selections from the Physical Skills list: Acrobatics and Gynmastics. They are very similar skills on the surface, so join us as we dissect them.

We have more long-form episodes in the queue very soon! Meeting up to record has been increasingly difficult with our changing work schedules and life events. As such we've been getting a lot of shorter topics done to maximize our time together. We have been lucky to get several sessions scheduled pretty close together in the coming weeks, and we are excited to get back to the deeper dive discussions.

Drop us a line! You can follow us (sporadically) on Facebook, and we'd love to see you on our Discord Channel too. And let us know your thoughts by leaving a review on iTunes or any other podcast aggregate sites.

Today's round-table discussion is a look at how the "Horror Factor" system works in Palladium games. It's a rather nifty take on implementing a comic book-style Fear system, similar to but also very different from the sanity systems in other games.

As if the distinction between Parry and Dodge in Palladium weren't already confusing for some new players, Rifts then had to go and add a whole new "automatic dodge" ability to the mix. In this short discussion, we talk about the Automatic Dodge, with a look at who gets it, how it works, how it differs from the regular Dodge, and how to calculate its bonuses.

Today's discussion is on a mechanic that doesn't actually exist in the Palladium game rules, but should: how to "hold" or "ready" an action to occur after your initiative order in a combat round. This means we're focusing on our own house rules, with advice on how you might want to handle it in your own games.

Today's episode continues our Combat Options series with a discussion on how "called shots" work in Palladium, with a heavy focus on the two major editions of Rifts. As with previous discussions on these options, we largely talk about how to do things using the rules as written, with minimal focus on house rules.

Also, we want to give a big thanks to everyone for patience on getting the releases rolling again. NPC was dealing with a medical issue for the past few weeks that made it difficult to do any editing. That seems to have been resolved, so looks like we're back in action!

We're continuing this new exploration of combat rules options with an episode dedicated to one that - we've been told - doesn't get used nearly as often as it should these days. So let's bring it back! This one is the rather brutal and insidious "Body Block & Tackle" move, found in at least two different places in the Ultimate Edition of Rifts.

We're back to another Rules Talk episode! This time, NPC presents a different take on handling the combat initiative flow in Palladium games, inspired by the "pair them off" concepts from the more recent rules books. Some of you may scoff at this, others may even already do this in their own games. We'd love to hear your thoughts, so please leave comments, or drop by Discord and let us know!

You are probably wondering, what the heck is a Slurmph? Dustin is. He's a Slurmph. And he'll let you know, in case you forgot. It's time to meet Dustin and Edmundo, best friends forever!

EDITOR'S NOTES: A couple of additional tech notes here. Ironically, although we all touted the great qualities of the alternate FX-heavy patron-exclusive renders at the end of this episode, there didn't end up being many moments worth adding sound effects to in this one. Additionally, due to some audio issues, this episode took a lot longer to edit than normal and I really wanted to get it out the door. So this time around, there is no alternate FX version. My apologies! If it's any consolation, since we just finished recording it, I can promise you that the next episode has a lot more effects.

Also, due to the normal biological needs of the human body, Alex had stepped away from the table right before we closed out, and thus wasn't present when we were introducing ourselves. In case you were not aware, Henry is played by Alex. Thanks, Alex!

In this episode, the three of us take some time to collect our thoughts on the recent "Set the Scene" episode, in which we played the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness REDUX Edition (with Sean Roberson as a quest). We talk about how it worked, what we liked, and what we thought could have gone better.

Today we are once again venturing BEYOOONNNND THE MEGAVERRRRSSSEE (echo echo echo), to take a look at the D6 Breachworld RPG, written by Palladium freelancer Jason Richards. It's a very heavily Rifts-inspired game, but with unique twists on the core premise of the game world. If you've played it, we'd love to hear your experiences on our Discord server!

The Greatest Family Adventure of the Century continues! An old friend returns, after a harrowing encounter with a temptress from the nether depths of Atlantis. Bronson learns to play Cricket, while Henry, Drom, and Mister Cat try to start a barbershop quartet - Riley was too stubborn to join, so if you know a tenor looking for a gig, they have an opening. And throughout it all, Gorshkov learns a hard lesson in bovine love behind the wheels of the Shimmy-Sham. Nobody ever reads this, so why be accurate?
