Have you ever found yourself asking “Where do I get started with Palladium? What books do I need to play Rifts? What tools and dice do I need?” If so, this episode is our answer to those questions, and a few more! Listen as we give advice on how to get started with Palladium Games (and Rifts especially), and lay out the bare minimum of required accessories. We also recommend a few additional books that can help you quickly expand your play.

If you’ve heard anything at all about Palladium games, then you’ve most certainly heard complaints from folks about its supposed lack of “balance” in the various books. Well, we’re finally here to tackle that dreaded spectral ogre of argument, and give our own personal takes on the matter. What does “balance” actually mean, and how is it implemented in Palladium? And is that a good thing or bad thing? Opinions are always flying on this one, but give us a listen if you want to hear ours.
