The Glitterbois #0057: A Look at the Rifts 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Hardcover

Since both of us recently acquired copies of the super-limited black-and-gold Rifts 30th Anniversary hardback edition, we’re here (nominally) to review the overall book and its new content. In actuality we spend most of the time waxing nostalgic on how awesome the original content really is. Turns out neither of us had looked through the original Butts Edition in a lot longer than we remembered! If you also got your hands on one of these, drop into Discord and let us know your number!

The Glitterbois #0052: Intro to Heroes Unlimited

After a lot of listener requests, we’re again taking a look at other Palladium RPG properties. Since there is a handful of them that the two of us are sadly not as well-versed in, we’ve invited our friend and fellow Breakfast Puppy host “Just Jacob” to join and talk about them. First on the list is Heroes Unlimited, Palladium’s classic take on superhero comics-style role-playing.

The Glitterbois #0050: Intro to the Coalition States (Rifts)

We’ve made it to episode 50! Huzzah! To celebrate we’re doing a longer episode, talking about the default villains of the Rifts RPG: the Coalition States. Love ’em or hate ’em (or love to hate ’em!), they are a hallmark of the setting, and there’s just _so much_ lore on them to devour. Listen in as we talk about our takes on the faction, their core classes, and ways to involve them in campaigns.
