    Stars Without Number Ship Rules + Palladium S.D.C. & Armor Rating

    Stars Without Number ship rules get practical fast as we break down space travel, sensors, detection, maintenance, and ship crises you can run tonight. First, we read through and opine on spike drills for interstellar travel, intra-system travel pacing, and what actually matters when crews scan, chase, and repair under pressure—then we pivot into Stars Without Number ship rules for space combat: combat actions, timing, and crisis moments that keep fights cinematic instead of sloppy. After that, Heathendog delivers a clear “how to” on the Palladium Books Megaverse fundamentals: how character S.D.C. and Hit Points (H.P.) work together, how equipment S.D.C. changes the stakes, and how Armor Rating (A.R.) really protects you across Palladium Fantasy, Heroes Unlimited, Beyond the Supernatural, and more. Jump in live, ask questions, and leave with rules confidence you can use immediately—watch the stream and bring your toughest edge cases.

    Stars Without Number Combat + Rifter #32

    Stars Without Number combat mechanics can turn a messy firefight into a clean, fast, tense tabletop RPG scene, and we are reading it live and calling out what actually matters at the table. We will dig into Combat first, then hit Injury, Death, and Recovery so you can see how Kevin Crawford’s design rewards smart choices and keeps consequences meaningful. Then Heathendog cracks open The Rifter #32 with a focused follow-up on The Wastes: Optional Source Material for Splicers—new O.C.C.s, monsters, and world building hooks you can steal for your next Rifts campaign. After that, we finish with Mega Steel Chef: Cooking for Rifts, where Mega-Damage creatures become exotic cuisine and buffs for the bold. If you want practical takeaways you can use tonight, jump in live, ask questions, and sharpen your game—Stars Without Number combat mechanics will not run itself, but you can run it better after this stream.

    D&D Let You Down? Try Palladium Fantasy RPG 2E, the Overlooked Classic

    Looking for a real fantasy tabletop RPG to replace Dungeons & Dragons without jumping into a thousand OSR clones or a rules-light game that runs out of fuel? In this livestream, I crack open Palladium Fantasy RPG 2E and show you why this “everybody knows the name” game still delivers: strong character identity, fast choices in combat, magic that feels like a living craft, psionics with bite, and a campaign engine that supports both heroic fantasy and dirty-boots adventure.We’ll walk through eight key pillars so you can decide if Palladium belongs on your table: playable races, O.C.C.s (front-loaded professionals, not fragile beginners), skills that keep characters distinct, action-and-reaction combat, magic, psionics, tone and campaign support, and how one core book can carry a long-term game with plenty of room to expand later.If you want a deeper dive after the livestream, check the Palladium Fantasy RPG playlist on the channel. Now let’s get into it—open book, honest discussion, and plenty of table-ready examples.
