The Glitterbois
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!

Thanks to some helpful listeners, we're now back on track to talk about these books in a roughly chronological publication order. That means the next book on our list is After the Bomb! And since the original was a rather slim tome, we're taking this opportunity to talk about both the original and the second edition publication. Many thanks to our Discord friends for helping us get all our publication dates sorted out!
In this episode, NPC and Buckley take some time to do an extended deeper look at the "Slinger" classes from Rifts New West. We break down the differences, compare their various strengths, and discuss some fun ways to use them in a campaign.

This was such a lovely chat, and we hope you all enjoy it as much...
