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!

OCC Spotlight on the Mind Melter
Today we're back to another OCC Splotlight (yes I noticed the typo but I like it and am keeping it), this time on another of the core Rifts classes, the Mind Melter. As usual, we compare both the Butts and the Ultimate edition versions, and what we like about them. And if you've ever wanted to know the true secret behind the three seashells, listen closely. Then stop my our Discord and say hi!

Customer Reviews
Great podcast
Really enjoy listening. Not much rifts stuff going on in my area so it’s a real treat.
Best palladium podcast
A friend introduced me to this podcast I have since listened to almost half this is the absolute best Rifts Palladium podcast around and I look forward to each episode congratulations Glitterbois and keep up the amazing job
A Rift opens...
Every so often at a nexus point of lay lines a surge of power occurs and a swirling vortex opens into another plane of existence. What may come out we do not know, but this time we were lucky. A signal comes thru from the past, of a magnificent show dedicated to Palladium games.
If you like or have any interest in Rifts, Robotech, or just roleplaying in general give these guys a listen to. They have great insight into running, playing, and the lore in the Palladium Megaverse.
