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!

We continue our deep dive into the various Rifts extended combat options today with a focused look at the oft-forgotten "Simultaneous Attack" defense option. What's your favorite story of using this one in a game?

In this episode, the four most responsible and upstanding members of the party do some recon while carrying deep conversations on whether the Tits are or are not truly in the air.

We're continuing this new exploration of combat rules options with an episode dedicated to one that - we've been told - doesn't get used nearly as often as it should these days. So let's bring it back! This one is the rather brutal and insidious "Body Block & Tackle" move, found in at least two different places in the Ultimate Edition of Rifts.

We're back to another Rules Talk episode! This time, NPC presents a different take on handling the combat initiative flow in Palladium games, inspired by the "pair them off" concepts from the more recent rules books. Some of you may scoff at this, others may even already do this in their own games. We'd love to hear your thoughts, so please leave comments, or drop by Discord and let us know!

You are probably wondering, what the heck is a Slurmph? Dustin is. He's a Slurmph. And he'll let you know, in case you forgot. It's time to meet Dustin and Edmundo, best friends forever!
EDITOR'S NOTES: A couple of additional tech notes here. Ironically, although we all touted the great qualities of the alternate FX-heavy patron-exclusive renders at the end of this episode, there didn't end up being many moments worth adding sound effects to in this one. Additionally, due to some audio issues, this episode took a lot longer to edit than normal and I really wanted to get it out the door. So this time around, there is no alternate FX version. My apologies! If it's any consolation, since we just finished recording it, I can promise you that the next episode has a lot more effects.
Also, due to the normal biological needs of the human body, Alex had stepped away from the table right before we closed out, and thus wasn't present when we were introducing ourselves. In case you were not aware, Henry is played by Alex. Thanks, Alex!

In this episode, the three of us take some time to collect our thoughts on the recent "Set the Scene" episode, in which we played the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness REDUX Edition (with Sean Roberson as a quest). We talk about how it worked, what we liked, and what we thought could have gone better.

Épisode 213
vendredi 15 mai 2026 • Durée 36:11
Today we are once again venturing BEYOOONNNND THE MEGAVERRRRSSSEE (echo echo echo), to take a look at the D6 Breachworld RPG, written by Palladium freelancer Jason Richards. It's a very heavily Rifts-inspired game, but with unique twists on the core premise of the game world. If you've played it, we'd love to hear your experiences on our Discord server!

The Glitterbois Play Rifts 13: Look Who's Gorshkovving!
The Greatest Family Adventure of the Century continues! An old friend returns, after a harrowing encounter with a temptress from the nether depths of Atlantis. Bronson learns to play Cricket, while Henry, Drom, and Mister Cat try to start a barbershop quartet - Riley was too stubborn to join, so if you know a tenor looking for a gig, they have an opening. And throughout it all, Gorshkov learns a hard lesson in bovine love behind the wheels of the Shimmy-Sham. Nobody ever reads this, so why be accurate?

We've got Sean Owen Roberson of Palladium Books with us again, for this awesome third installment of our new Set the Scene series! This time around, Buckley leads us through a TERROR-filled scene using the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness REDUX RPG. Listen in as a bomb-throwing otter, a meathead newt, and a feral fox square off against the classic game's most iconic set of villains.

Today we take a look through one of the more awesome books in the Palladium catalog: the Compendium of Weapons, Armor, and Castles, by Matthew Balent. This is a damn useful book for pretty much every fantasy RPG under the sun, and we strongly urge everyone out there to make sure there's a copy of it on your gaming shelves.
