Episode 16 - It's a Bird! It's a Plane! It's a One-Off Adventure!

Greetings once again!

Fellow citizens, a listener pointed out something important to us recently: we talk about Rifts a lot. But what about the other games within the Megaverse? Well, to that I say, look, up there in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! No! It's Heroes Unlimited!



Heroes is probably one of the first systems most Palladium gamers learned, and it's still one of the most popular—and for good reason. And with the current environment regarding superheroes at box offices everywhere, the system has the potential to take itself to new heights!

But naturally, we can't shut ourselves up there. Another question we wanted to answer in this episode is what to do about one-off adventures; that is, for those of you just coming into the RPG world, an adventure you run in a single session. A lot of people have trouble thinking of a "small campaign" to create, because they think they're wasting a good storytelling opportunity. Well, Nathan will set you straight this week. He's run a lot of one-off adventures, and knows what he's talking about. If you're keen to learn how to make the most out of your superpowers, how to run better one-offs or to combine the two and make the most out of your superpowered one-offs, have a listen!

Carry on, citizens.

Episode 15 - Cross-classing, but with Logic Included

Greetings, citizens.

Although it's a couple days late, I like to think this week's episode is jam-packed full of great propoganda information and discussion for you to take to the proverbial bank.

Because we ran a little long on this episode, you can expect the Palladium Travel Agency, Creature Feature and Job Fair next time when we can do each segment its due attention.

That's all for now. Carry on, citizens!

Just a Reminder

Greetings, Citizens.

I just wanted to remind you that there's just one week remaining for the Epic Hero and Villain Feat Cards kickstarter. If you haven't already, you should absolutely check it out. It looks like it's going to be the best thing to help even out gameplay between over- and under-powered players at your table. Not to mention add a cinematic flair to your entire experience.

While I have you here, I'd also like to let you in on a little news from the Megaverse. If you haven't already, you can check out Kevin's weekly update (since we didn't have it when we recorded). It looks like they've got their hands full with the logistics of getting books released and getting events scheduled. Kevin even got a podcast interview in, but not with us!!! We should petition him for something like that.

Anyway, those are the two pieces of propoganda information I wanted to leave you with today.

Until next time, carry on, citizens.

Special Episode! Epic Hero and Villain Feat Cards Kickstarter!

Greetings, citizens.

We're stopping by again today because we just got a communique from a listener with a project--and an awesome one, at that. He calls it Epic Hero and Villain Feat Cards, and has created them to enhance the tabletop RPG experience for all involved by making it less of a hack-and-slash "adventure" to a cinematic story that balances power between all the PCs and the GM. I'm personally really excited about this one, and hope you are, too.

As always, here is the episode if you want to listen to it here on our site:




Click here to go to the Kickstarter page and check it out.

That's all I've got for today. Until next time, carry on, citizens.

Episode 14 - We Can't Call Them Jedi, But...

Greetings, citizens!

It's been a mere two weeks since our last communique, and this time we're pleased to present the Order of the Cyber Knights!



If you're not familiar with Rifts earth or the Cyber Knights, just read the title one more time. It's pretty accurate.

Now, I can't speak for Matt, but I had a great time discussing this. There are so many things that a Cyber Knight can do that no other O.C.C. can do, and rarely can a player or NPC be as powerful as they are as a Knight.

And for those of you who are Star Wars fans, we draw a lot of comparisons between the Jedi and Cyber Knights. Of course, you can just as easily do it with King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table.

Anyway, enjoy the episode.

Carry on, citizens!

Episode 13 - Hitting the Forums

Greetings, citizens.

Well, you asked for it. Here it is. In this episode we discuss one of the hottest topics on the forums: what can Palladium do better? What are some ways the company can make their games better? After all, as players and fans of the Palladium Megaverse, we have an investment in the company, whether that means a financial investment or just a psychological one.

We also have a triple-threat this time. We took time for a Palladium Travel Agency, Creature Feature and a Job fair of sorts—that is, we kind of smash them all together to feature the Coalition States. In lieu of the episode that never was, we felt it was about time to give you at least a brief overview of what makes this Megaversal presence what it is.

As always, here's the link:


You can also download the episode from here, from iTunes or from your favorite podcatcher. But wherever you get it from, please be sure to take just two minutes and leave a rating and a comment. Even if it's not all that good, it'll start a trend. It'll help the podcast get noticed, and soon we'll have more Palladium fans and players than ever. After all, that'll give us all more chances to game, right?

Until next time, carry on, citizens.

Episode 12 - Holy Entomophobia, Batman!

Greetings, Citizens.

First things first: I am deeply sorry for the delay in getting this episode out to you. We had some more technical issues than expected this time, but they were fixable this time.

One word: Bugs.



This is a continuation of episode 11, and it's jam-packed with bugs--we cover a race, a few critters and even give you a few ideas as to what you could do to spice up other games, like Heroes Unlimited.

There's not much else to say. Again, sorry for the delay; hopefully, the next episode will be on time. We've recorded it already, and I'm anxious to start working on it.

But until next time, carry on, citizens.
