For anyone with any interest at all in playing Palladium roleplaying games, this is the best podcast to listen to - bar none. It can honestly be a pretty complicated system to get into, especially for a person without a whole lot of time to invest in reading the multitude of books, which can be hard to get your hands on without ordering them directly from the company and maybe selling organs or a lesser-loved child to afford the whole huge library. These guys do an amazing job of condensing and ... more

United Statesa year ago - A Contagiously Enthusiastic Celebration of All Things Palladium
This is an amazing podcast for anyone who has ever been a fan of the Palladium system. I spent months and months binge listening to your entire back catalog after listening to your first four interviews with Kevin Siembieda.
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 Podcasts5SMKJHillCanadaa year 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.
