Kraynic, those are some excellent notes on the system! Omnibane, I know what you're going through. This is why I usually use Heroes Unlimited as the introduction to Palladium, as I find that those who are experienced with other systems spend too much time comparing and too little time embracing if t...

Father Goose

Welcome to Nightvale is amazing. I'm behind in the story at this point, but I have listened to it for years.

Palladium could definitely benefit from setting up an Amazon Marketplace so people can order with Prime Shipping. I know a ton of people who would order more books, more often, if they didn't have to worry about shipping fees. I know I would love to support the company directly, but I can't afford i...

Hopefully, we do get the follow-up book(s). Sometimes we do (China 2), sometimes we don't (Australia 2), so we'll have to see what happens.

Now that this thread has been resurrected, here's an exaggerated bit of lore for how the CCW started getting itself together during and after the Minion War.

Greetings, In the Three Galaxies, money takes on a whole new dimension when you look at players who want their own spaceship or who want to get something going. As soon as you hit space and want to dream of a special ship, you quickly look at a price of hundreds of millions, if not billions of cred...

<snip> But let's see...the spell FEAR is 5 PPE for 1 minute per level of experience; let's use that as a basis... Let's up the duration of the spell, to longer; it's not a total blocking magic, but it takes the edge off Horror Factor,...so 5 minutes per PLE? That way you can make it 5 PPE, same as ...

I thought of this for an upcoming Nightbane game where one of the characters is a Nightbane Sorcerer with a teddy bear Morphus that wears a baby blanket as a cape. I could use some help deciding on the appropriate spell level and PPE cost, as well as any feedback on what could be done to make this s...

As a basic layout, it looks clean and clear to me. I like your stated goals for the book, and you have already done the hardest part - planning your outline. I have every confidence in you. Thanks!

I'm running a series of Dead Reign Roll20 one-shot games. The first game will be the night of Friday, November 27th (Black Friday!) starting at 7 PM CST . Players will have 32 different pre-generated characters to choose from, and each month the scenario presented will be different. Players will ha...

While I won't be playing, I am a fan of what you are doing here. Best wishes for a successful game! Many of us would love to read updates on how this goes, so please consider posting about it.

Nothing is jumping out at me as being flawed. Are you just looking for confirmation that you are on the right track, or did you have something specific you were concerned about?

Father Goose

Solid material...there has to be an unobstructed line of sight on the target, materially as well, even though the teleportee converts to energl. A metal screen has plenty of small discernable holes in it. A solid pane of glass doesn't. This prevents the spell from being used to say, snatch people o...

I ran some adventures a while back that took place in the homebrew city of Asterisk (located at a major nexus: *). There were heavy psi-stalker populations in the area, and the way the locals dealt with it was to have psi-stalker eateries/taverns/bars where you could order various captured creature...

I don't know of one. Closest would be Bio-Alteration or Bio-Manipulation. They don't do HP damage, but they do attack the brain. You should write something up. Make it a Super Psionic power with multiple applications, such as the two I mentioned. Call it Psychic Shock, or something like that. Can be...

Looks like Father Goose has gotten to name the next strength-boosting power already, and Drewkitty has provided its color snippet.

Unless it specifically calls for concentration, I assume it is fire and forget. Same here. There are enough places where a power specifically states the concentration requirements that I tend to assume the absence of specificity is an indication that no concentration is needed. Ultimately, your GM ...

So Mark Hall is the reason I ate that entire sleeve of Oreos! I knew it wasn't my idea!

Father Goose

My only reluctance to the idea is that it makes it blatantly obvious the character is a fallen knight. Part of the tragic aspect of a fallen knight is that he/she may believe his/her actions are justified without realizing how dark their path is. Or the truly despicable ones may use their Knightly ...

Father Goose

As a general rule, I'm in agreement with Hotrod. However, if a player wanted to go the route of "armor reflects blackened soul" like is being suggested in the OP, I would allow it. I like it when players get excited about using cosmetics to flavor their characters. It can improve their rol...

Father Goose

Baring evidence of clear intent on way or the other, I would consider it a GM ruling situation. I'm inclined to rule that most psychics have enough control over their powers to both start and stop them.

Father Goose

Like Drew, I would be inclined to say yes. Not based on specific rules (which I cannot see it saying one way or another), but rather based on the concept of psionics.

I had a GM once who used that little bit of text to disqualify the party druid from leveling "until you find another druid to test you." The GM had world-jumped us, and there were no druids on the moon or helping the humans against the Invid, so the poor bastard just didn't level. We're l...

I can see how that would be frustrating for you. On the bright side, I still think Mysteries of Magic is a great book, even with that oversight. I'll have to reread the Druid section tonight and see how this new insight changes things. There is no druid section in the released book. Ah. Well, it ha...

Father Goose

You are correct. It does not say the test is conducted by another Druid. In fact, the wording is such that a clever GM can do anything to test the Druid, which opens up some incredible storytelling possibilities.
Having never played, nor GMed, a Druid before, I had not noticed this. So nice catch.

Father Goose

I think Zer0 Kay wins for most comments on this video. 15/32 as of this post.

Father Goose

Warshield nailed it.
After that, some setting material would be cool. I'd love a collection of modular setting elements that can be configured as desired for your own HU world.

Father Goose

I'd be inclined to have nothing specific happen... it's harder to learn something, than to keep doing it once you've learned, so I would not have the loss of IQ affect his class. This goes back to my opening statement that it depends on how harsh you want to be. The rest of my suggestion was workin...

Father Goose

I like Drew's idea too.

Father Goose

Depends on how harsh you want to be. Personally, I'd give a percentage chance of spell failure with every cast to reflect the brain damage, with the chance of failure increasing with each subsequent loss of IQ. There's greater story potential there (for a player willing to capitalize on it) than the...
