À propos de cet audio

 The Glitterbois are two blokes (and then some) with an intense and long-lived love for the rich role-playing game worlds created by Palladium Books. Join us as we talk about the vast imaginative possibilities of the Palladium Books RPG "Megaverse" in a quest to spread appreciation for their games, meet established wanderers of their worlds, and hopefully bring new players into the fold. We'll look into the workings and histories of all of their games, including Rifts, Palladium Fantasy, Nightbane, Dead Reign, Macross, Ninja Turtles, and more! Step through the rift and Unleash Your Imagination along with us!© 2021 Breakfast Puppies LLC Art Science-fiction

  • #205 – Physical Skills and the Skill Tax

    #205 – Physical Skills and the Skill Tax
    Dec 19 2025

    In response to another post from a fine upstanding member of our Discord community, we're talking about the concept of the "skill tax" in Palladium RPGs. This extends into a greater discussion of Physical Skills, how they work, and how we feel about them in our own games and experiences.

    This episode was recorded back in November, IIRC, so some of the stuff discussed about the grab bags might be a tad outdated, but the holiday special should still be up and running by the time this launches!

    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.

    #204 – Set the Scene 2 - Palladium Fantasy 1E (with Kevin Siembieda)
    Dec 13 2025
    Listener response to the first "Set the Scene" episode was so overwhelmingly positive that we decided to get another one in the feed as soon as possible. This time we're taking things back to the roots, with Palladium Fantasy 1st Edition, and a little ol' dungeon called the Tombs of Gersidi. For this session we're joined by both Kevin Siembieda of Palladium Books, and Sean Casey, who plays the Crazy in our ongoing Rifts Actual Play series. This session was a blast, and we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed recording it. And as an added bonus for our supporters and patrons, the Character Creation session for these characters was also recorded, and will be released very soon on the patron feeds! Also there's still time to get your Xmas Grab Bags from Palladium! Don't miss out on the best annual deal in gaming! Drop us a line!

  • #203 – A Discussion on Player Table Roles

    #203 – A Discussion on Player Table Roles
    Nov 28 2025

    We're back for another system-agnostic, round-table discussion, this time focusing on the idea of using "Player Table Roles" in your games. For the unaware, these are meta-roles that the players can take to help facilitate better play, and also ease the load of work on the GM's shoulders. Did we miss any? Let us know!
