[Palladium RPG] "By the Sword" (Campaign Debriefing)

The infamous campaign binder

This past week we sat down to talk about our impressions of our recently-concluded Palladium RPG campaign. We discuss impressions of the Palladium system, high fantasy and the Palladium world, favorite memories, world-building, and the charm of not giving a flip about "game balance."

[Palladium RPG] "By the Sword" (Episode Ten)

Events take a wild and unexpected turn as the heroes encounter the Emperor and go their separate ways. The penultimate session of the campaign!

Note that we spend the first half-hour or so talking about the philosophy (and frustrations) behind Palladium's world-building choices in its sourcebooks and why there aren't a lot of Wolfen in our version of the Western Empire. If you want to skip straight to the game, start at minute 31:00.

[Palladium RPG] "By the Sword" (Episode Eight)

This session sees Lazlo come to Maneater's defense and the two set out to clear her name. But first, a "secret solo session" in which your intrepid GM finds out exactly what became of Trigom the Chaotic after last week's wild street brawl...

[Palladium RPG] "By the Sword" (Episode Seven)

This week's session sees plenty of thrills, chills, and spills as the heroes go after Trigom the Chaotic—but there are other factions who would like to get their hands on the sword every bit as much, and are more than willing to see blood spilled in pursuit of their quest! And who is this mysterious impresario known only as Kallus Tandu...?

[Palladium RPG] "By the Sword" (Episode Six)

This session is equal parts system discussion and actual game play—I decided to leave in the former, as it forms a classic part of the old-school fantasy gaming experience!

[Palladium RPG] "By the Sword" (Episode Five)

The heroes follow a jester down a dark alley, but instead of getting shanked in the dark they are instead rewarded with an interesting and rewarding twist in the ongoing story. Come along, join the circus, and meet the likes of Edrin, Inka, Annelis, and many more!

[Palladium RPG] "By the Sword" (Episode Three)

As we continue to settle into online gaming (and overcome various technical hurdles), we find the heroes of our little tale venturing into a strange old mansion, even as our players explore the exciting virtual environment of Tabletop Simulator. Behold!

This week's recording is much cleaner than last's, but unfortunately we did lose the last 10-15 minutes of the session due to a technical error on the part of OBS. Starting next week, we switch to Zoom, which has proven much less prone to technical screw-ups. Fingers crossed...

[Palladium RPG] "By the Sword" (Episode Two)

A short episode this week as we get back into the campaign after a real-world gap of three weeks between the first session and this one. The PCs take stock of the pickle they're in and get to know their mysterious rescuers a bit better before seeking out a place to lie low.

Audio quality for these first couple episodes is going to be a little dodgy. Please bear with us as we work out the kinks of online gaming/recording.

[Palladium RPG] "By the Sword" (Episode One)

We're back!

As discussed last episode, we're getting a little nostalgic and a little experimental here on the EOR Quarantine Edition; old stalwarts David L. and Des are joined by an old friend (and ACTION INTERNATIONAL! co-author) Alex as he and David return to an old system favorite from their high school days.
