Episode 7 – The Old Ones Were Never Meant to Be Fought

Book Two: Old Ones is one of the most misunderstood books in Palladium Fantasy Second Edition. It looks like a monster book, but it isn’t. In this episode of The Summoner’s Circle Podcast, Vince digs into what the Old Ones really are, not bosses to be fought, but consequences that shape regions, magic, cults, and entire campaigns. This episode focuses on how to use Old Ones without turning your game into hopeless cosmic doom. How their influence creeps into the world. How cults form around half-understood truths. How seals weaken, magic bends, and reality starts to feel wrong. Most importantly, how players can confront these threats indirectly through choices, containment, and survival, rather than combat. If you’ve ever flipped through Book Two and thought, “I’ll never use this,” this episode shows why it might be one of the most valuable tools on your shelf.

AD&D Manual of the Planes - Part 2

This is Part 2 of the Manual of the Planes deep dive. Part 1 covered what the book is and why it matters. This video is about actually running planar adventures at your table without turning them into a TPK or a rules lecture. How do you introduce planar travel without making it feel casual? How do you start small with border regions before throwing characters into full exposure? How do you use environment as your primary weapon instead of relying on exotic monsters? This video covers all of that. Rest isn't guaranteed in the planes. Safe zones should be rare and memorable. Magic should feel unpredictable, not useless. Planar NPCs matter more than monsters because they give players something to bargain with instead of always fighting.

The Classic FASERIP Podcast Volume 6, Issue 36 - Q&A Episode

Vince, Rick, and The Geoff crack open the mail bag for a full Q&A show. They tackle Flargon’s question about running a cowboy themed FASERIP campaign with horseback rules that actually feel dangerous, then jump into Esper Ranger’s request for holiday one shots you can prep fast and run in a single night. They also answer Throwing Toasters and walk through a concrete Martial Arts combat example, step by step, so you can finally see how the maneuvers play at the table instead of just reading the column. Chris checks in with a question about current FASERIP clones, what the crew thinks of them, and whether there is any real chance of the original style game returning for new players. Villain of the Week is the Leader, with Rick taking point on how to use him as the mind behind your campaign’s biggest plots and bad decisions. Classic FASERIP rules are on deck as always, pulled straight from the Basic Revised material.
