With this episode, we conclude our unintentional trilogy of episodes looking into the great collected Mechanoid Invasion Trilogy book. This was a really damn fun book to dive into, and we both look forward to the Mechanoids returning in future episodes as we dive deeper into the vast Palladium Books catalog of offerings.
Our unexpectedly multi-part dive into the wonderful Mechanoid Invasion Trilogy continues! Spoilers: we ain’t even done yet. This time we’re looking into part two of the trilogy, which takes the story to a whole new level. Join us next week for part 3!
We’re going all the way back to where it started: THE MECHANOIDS! Specifically, we’re taking a look at Palladium’s collected “The Mechanoid Invasion Trilogy.” When we met to record this episode, we really didn’t think we’d have so much to say about it. What was meant to be a 20 minute or so episode turned into a really long chat! As such, we’ve broken this up into a three-parter, to stick with our targeted short-form episode focus. Join us next time for part two!
Following recent events in our home games, today we’re taking a bit of a somber turn, addressing the topic of Character Death in RPGs. How do you approach death in your own games? Let us know of your most memorable expirations! Also, RIP Able McVenner.
Continuing from our last episode, this time we’re taking a deeper look into the Nightbane OCC from the RPG of the same name. This is one of the most unique and widely-varying character classes in the entire Palladium catalog. Listen along as we roll one up real quick and see just one example of how truly bizarre any given Nightbane can be. And let us know your most memorable ones, too!
Hey, we’re back with another “Intro to” episode! This time around we’re getting into one of Palladium’s most unique games, the modern body horror RPG known as Nightbane (or if you’re a hipster like NPC, it’s Nightspawn). If you have ever wanted to get a taste of what this fantastically monstrous game is all about, give us a listen. Then give it a play, and write us to share your own Nightbane stories!
We wrap up our Character Creation walk-through by taking care of the final touches, such as totaling stats, deriving bonuses, and noting down important equipment. That brings this series to a wrap! Please let us know what you thought!
As our journey through the Rift chargen process continues, we pick skills for our new dog boy, DB-421. We go through different options for skill choices, detail what we pick and why, and show you how to apply the Physical skill mods. Almost done!
In our fourth part of the Character Creation series, we walk through the OCC steps for the Dog Boy, fleshing out the core abilities and powers of our new “DB-421” sample character. If you’ve ever experienced some confusion when going through this process, give us a listen and hopefully we can help you make sense of it all!
Continuing our trek through the character creation process, we take a look at the various OCC choices presented in the Rifts Ultimate Edition, and go into detail on why we picked the Dog Boy specifically. Truth be told this one is more of a review, but if you’re not already familiar with the Rifts classes, give us a listen to learn a little more!
