Palladium Fantasy 1e - Shamans!

New week, new video! In this one I flip to p149 of the core book and go over the Shaman class, talking about what's interesting and somethings I don't care for with this class. Again these are my opinions, so not everyone will always agree! 

Listen to the video and then comment on  your experiences with this class, I am interested to see how you've changed it, improved and made it your own. I always find what others do with classes very interesting.

Let me know!

Halloween 2021 Special - BTS - The Victims Game

Sit back and enjoy this Halloween themed episode for Railguns & Dragons, as I have Steven Dawes from HouseofBTS.net join me and talk about his experiences playing the Victims games, located in the BTS 1e core book, p197. 

 

This was a really interesting episode, because while I've always seen this in the back of the book, I've never actually used it, as I didn't think anyone would be interested in it. As a huge fan of horror and thriller movies, this seemed right up my alley. 

 

I could easily run a Slasher stalker type adventure for fun. So listen in as Steve who is a master at BTS, gives some solid advice at convincing your group to play, to even running the monster of the "movie". It was a fun episode!

Palladium Fantasy - Clergy - Priests!

In this video, I am back on the table for another point of view video, Some folks have requested more videos like this, so I figured let's try it again. Anyhow, in this video, I am going over the Clergy OCC, Priests and the powers their Gods have bestowed upon them! 

 

Sitting down talking about Clergy today in the Palladium Fantasy world. I am not sure if I like this video style still, but some folks did comment they wanted it again, so here you go! Enjoy! Like, Comment, share :)

House Rules - Fantasy 1e - Armor/Shield Maintenance

 

Something that always bugged me was that in Palladium Fantasy 1e (far as the core book is concerned) does not go into detail or cover anything about Armor & Shield repair/maintenance. So I've come up with some house rules to make things a bit easier to make it happen.

House Rules - Fantasy 1e - Called Shots

 

This mostly applies to Fantasy 1e, but can work for any edition of any game that doesn't clearly have rules defined for this situation. 

In later editions, called shots takes up 2 actions to get a -4 (Head/Arm/Leg) and aiming your shot, which added a +2, ate up another action. So basically you'd be burning 3 actions to hit someone directly in a certain area that you picked (Head/Arm/Leg). 

In my game, a called shot is normally -4, which would be looking to hit a Head/Arm/Leg, rolling above an 17. If the player rolls below an 18, they missed the target as its such a small area to hit, they were off by a small bit and the melee weapon or ranged weapon just misses its target.

Now if someone wants to hit a smaller target, like a hand, a foot, a knee or even a crotch (Hey its been attempted!) its even harder to hit those areas, making a -8 to hit, having to hit a target of 18.

Now of course all this is kind pointless if the AR is reaching 19 or 20...but that's not a worry right now and I can handle it in a case by case basis.
