We go back to the game table (and screen) with this episode, in which we briefly discuss the games that have been captivating our attentions as of late. Come join us in Discord and maybe play some with us!
After a comedy of errors involving terrible internet service providers, we have finally found opportunities to record again in the new year. So welcome back to the Glitterbois! And thanks for a fantastic and loving first year of our show. It’s time to continue with one that has been on our thought board for a while now, and given recent times it’s even more relevant than ever. That would be: Real Life (and more importantly old age) and how it interferes with our gaming hobby. Give us a listen, then join us on Discord to share your own tales and tips on the matter.
Poppy brought us a whole new array of Malorts from her recent trip to Chicago. Words of the evening: Malort again. Malort spritzer! “Malortness.” “Malort Malaise.” Malort Madness. Malort-related paraphernalia. Micro Malort. Suffering.
(This episode is from a Fall 2021 batch that got left behind due to life getting in the way of editing. Now we’re back on track, so these are coming out as a bundle, first to our awesome Patrons!) Continuing the suffering from our previous episode, we bravely forge forward[…]
Xander and Jacob regale us with a handful of their more lascivious and ridiculous bartending stories. This is our first foray into this topic, and they’ve got plenty more where those came from, so if you want to hear more, let us know! All the whole Poppy forces us to suffer through a series of increasingly disgusting seasonal seltzers from Budweiser.
We’re taking another look at the Chaos Earth campaign setting this time, and shining a spotlight on one of the more versatile Rifts classes out there: the NEMA Soldier. This class is a fantastic working template for ideas that you can apply to just about any other basic military character in the Megaverse. What are your favorite NEMA Soldier memories? Join our community and let us know!
Following on the theme of our last episode, this time we’re looking at the Revised edition of Rifts Sourcebook One. This one adds some delicious new game fodder to the mix, including factions and toys that bridge the connection with Palladium’s companion Chaos Earth RPG. Which version of the first Sourcebook is your favorite? Write us and let us know!
In this review episode, we take a look at the first ever expansion book for the original butts edition of Rifts. That’s right, it’s time for the Rifts Sourcebook, and everyone’s favorite joke-named psychopath, James T! This is the book where ARCHIE-3 really came into his full glory for the first time. It’s got adventure, it’s got new bad guys, it’s got new gear, and a whole lot more. For this episode we’re focusing on the original version – the revised edition is coming soon.
This time we’re taking a walk Beyond the Megaverse, in what we expect will be an occasional series on the show where we look at properties and media related to our gaming interests. Starting things off, we’re looking now at the old Alternity RPG from TSR, published in 1998 but then abandoned with the WotC acquisition and the launch of 3rd Edition. NPC is currently running a campaign using it, and so it’s fresh on our minds for discussion!
In this episode we go a bit free-form again, and brainstorm what special holidays might exist in the setting of Rifts North America. While our conversation is largely focused on and around the Coalition States and surrounding areas, we do take the time to delve a bit deeper into what defines a holiday, and how they often come to be. What are YOUR favorite fictional RPG holidays?
