Beyond the Megaverse, Casts, Glitterbois

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!

Casts, Glitterbois

We spend this episode in a free-form idea-jamming discussion on ways to re-imagine certain “logistically problematic” elements of the default Rifts Earth setting. Most if these ideas are rooted in NPC’s struggles with presenting the story of the world in his games in a way that fits his mind’s eye view of the world. Give us a listen for some of our ideas on ways to unleash your imaginations, then drop in to our Discord and talk about your own ideas.

Casts, Glitterbois, OCC Spotlights

Back after another unexpected break, we continue our ongoing OCC Spotlight series with a look at yet another “iconic” character from the Rifts RPG: The Borg!
