The Glitterbois are two blokes (and then some) with an intense and long-lived love for the rich role-playing game worlds created by Palladium Books. Join us as we talk about the vast imaginative possibilities of the Palladium Books RPG "Megaverse" in a quest to spread appreciation for their games, meet established wanderers of their worlds, and hopefully bring new players into the fold. We'll look into the workings and histories of all of their games, including Rifts, Palladium Fantasy, Nightbane, Dead Reign, Macross, Ninja Turtles, and more! Step through the rift and Unleash Your Imagination along with us!© 2021 Breakfast Puppies LLC Art Science Fiction

    #218 – Called Shots
    Jul 24 2026
    Today's episode continues our Combat Options series with a discussion on how "called shots" work in Palladium, with a heavy focus on the two major editions of Rifts. As with previous discussions on these options, we largely talk about how to do things using the rules as written, with minimal focus on house rules. Also, we want to give a big thanks to everyone for patience on getting the releases rolling again. NPC was dealing with a medical issue for the past few weeks that made it difficult to do any editing. That seems to have been resolved, so looks like we're back in action! Drop us a line!
