For anyone with any interest at all in playing Palladium roleplaying games, this is the best podcast to listen to - bar none.

These guys do an amazing job of condensing and ... more

United Statesa year ago - A Contagiously Enthusiastic Celebration of All Things Palladium

This has helped to really spark my interest in RPGs again, and I'm looking to get back into it. Been reading or re-reading a few of the TMNT, Rifts and Palladium Fantasy books over the last year.
I stopped playing when I was about 18 due to some drama with my player grou... more
Apple Podcasts5SMKJHillCanada2 years ago - Great Palladium Books Pod cast
I’m a long time player, GM, and writer of Palladium Books. I really appreciate the different and fresh views of other’s players such as the hosts of this pod cast. I like the bite size length of the shows, but am not opposed to longer episodes. I like the scope of different topics covered. Spotlights on books and comparing first edition to ultimate edition versions of O.C.C.’s.
I’m glad to hear the host seem like fans but are not hesitant to point out flaws that others have seen and noted.
