Poll: Next Palladium Poisoning book to review?
Added 2017-10-07 19:45:17 +0000 UTCIf you have listened to the latest Palladium Poisoning, you should know that we are going to let you, the listener, decide what we should review next. Palladium has put out a LOT of books so we can't include them all, but here's a choice sampling.
In the comments, please let us know if you want us to restart WoD The Heck, continue with Palladium Poisoning, or focus on another game line!

I feel like there's so much more to be covered from oWoD that I wouldn't mind seeing them revisit it. But if you wanted to do something different...what about TORG?

2017-10-12 14:13:47 +0000 UTCI like both Palladium Poisoning and WoD the Heck, so do both! Yaaaaaaaay, content!

2017-10-09 15:23:21 +0000 UTCI liked WoD the Heck more.

2017-10-09 08:42:29 +0000 UTCI did really like WoD the Heck. I don’t know what to suggest for another series that would have the depths that WoD or Rifts. DnD isn’t really as fun as either in terms of “why did you do that?” moments. Outside of the Warhammer series’ I don’t think there’s much to sustain a show.

2017-10-09 00:41:57 +0000 UTCAs for where you begin, there must be some books designed to introduce you to the setting as more than just a backdrop for wargaming with heavy metal album covers. Rogue Trader sets up the players as the closest thing to murder hobos in this universe, but Dark Heresy was actually the first 40K RPG and focuses specifically on the nightmare that is policing the Imperium of Man.

2017-10-08 17:10:16 +0000 UTCI'm enjoying Palladium Poisoning, but also had fun with WoD The Heck. So I'm fine with switching back, especially if you're getting tired of Palladium.

Daniel Whitmer
2017-10-08 14:37:36 +0000 UTCI would very much like it if you brought back Wod the Heck. Palladium is just as crazy... But WOD was my rpg drug of choice in my teens so I prefer that :)

2017-10-08 08:26:00 +0000 UTCSeconded!

2017-10-08 05:19:06 +0000 UTCThe cover of RIFTS Australia features a dude riding a giant kangaroo. My vote is clear.

2017-10-08 05:14:41 +0000 UTCThat is reason enough to vote for it. People being uncomfortable almost always makes for good comedy.
Darth
2017-10-08 05:13:20 +0000 UTCWhich is why I voted for it. SOooo much cringe.

2017-10-08 04:36:12 +0000 UTCAfrica is basically Rifts: blackface from what I've heard
Eric McNaughton
2017-10-08 03:16:28 +0000 UTCI for one believe there will be a tactful and considered treatment of the indigenous people.

2017-10-07 23:50:09 +0000 UTCOh, great idea. Reboot regardless is my vote, but this specifically is now part of it :D.
Stephen O
2017-10-07 23:48:57 +0000 UTCI'm sure it's really silly and inaccurate like most Media about Australia produced by people not from here. -R
Ray Cox
2017-10-07 23:46:42 +0000 UTCI know! I *so* want to hear what the RIFTS folks had to say about Oz :)

2017-10-07 23:04:29 +0000 UTCRifts Australia? Dear God
Maddy Gibbons
2017-10-07 22:51:55 +0000 UTCMan, where do you even begin with that?
Ross Payton
2017-10-07 22:34:16 +0000 UTCHave you considered going through all the fun R. Talsorian books for Cyberpunk 2013 and 2020? Imagine all the fun retro-visions of bleeding edge future tech.
Oren Geshuri
2017-10-07 22:34:13 +0000 UTCShit, thats a good idea
Ross Payton
2017-10-07 22:28:28 +0000 UTCVoting for Nightbane, because it was written by C. J. Carella and is one of the few Palladium books I own. Carella wrote a bunch of stuff for Eden studios, including the Buffy the Vampire Slayer rpg, which was the first game I saw using "fate-moxie-will"* as I think you call it. *it's called "Drama Points" in Buffy.
Bryan Rombough
2017-10-07 21:53:49 +0000 UTCI don't think I'll ever get tired of hearing about the insanity of Rifts, but if you're considering switching to another franchise I think the Warhammer 40K RPGs have some material to work with. I'm totally in Caleb's camp on the hilariously grimdark setting and would love to hear it get riffed on even if the mechanics work just fine. You could probably have fun with the goofiness of Shadowrun or Exalted too, but 40K is my preferred pick.
Jane Wayland
2017-10-07 20:32:04 +0000 UTCWell individual games are better suited for after hours. This series is more of a deep dive in a single game line- i.e. multiple supplements, to really get at the weirdness of the game.
Ross Payton
2017-10-07 20:15:36 +0000 UTCI also looked into this a while back: <a href="https://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/Worst_RPGs_ever" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/Worst_RPGs_ever</a>
Brownie Davis
2017-10-07 19:58:05 +0000 UTCIf you guys can think of a game series that would be as interesting as WoD and Pallidum I'd love to hear about those but the only one I can think of is Gurps.
