Today we jump right back onto the psionics train which hasn’t quite departed the station yet. This time we’re comparing the versions of the core Mind Mage OCC across 1st and 2nd Editions of the Palladium Fantasy RPG. How does it compare to the Mind Melter, previously reviewed a few recent episodes ago? Give us a listen, then share your thoughts on the Discord!
Inspired by the great discussions that followed our Mind Melter episode, we’re back on the subject of Psionics in Palladium, with a deep dive into their implementations across the entire catalog of games. We look at how different games do them, and what makes them awesome in that uniquely Palladium way.
This one is a listener-requested topic: how exactly do magic and psionics mix into combat rounds in Palladium’s RPGs? Listen in for a walk back through the history of its mechanics, and a comparison of the old ways vs the current ways. It’s a complicated topic, and we have a lot to review!
