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.

Step through the rift and Unleash Your Imagination along with us!

Automatic Dodge
2026/09/18
As if the distinction between Parry and Dodge in Palladium weren't already confusing for some new players, Rifts then had to go and add a whole new "automatic dodge" ability to the mix. In this short discussion, we talk about the Automatic Dodge, with a look at who gets it, how it works, how it differs from the regular Dodge, and how to calculate its bonuses.

House Rules: Holding and Readying Actions
2026/09/04
Read transcript
Today's discussion is on a mechanic that doesn't actually exist in the Palladium game rules, but should: how to "hold" or "ready" an action to occur after your initiative order in a combat round. This means we're focusing on our own house rules, with advice on how you might want to handle it in your own games.

We're here for another free-form chat on general role-playing, this time with a focus on the concept of the Character Sheet, and how it should be structured. While we do focus heavily on Palladium systems, the scope can easily cover most other "traditional" RPGs in play today.

Called Shots
2026/07/24
Read transcript
Today's episode continues our Combat Options series with a discussion on how "called shots" work in Palladium, with a heavy focus on the two major editions of Rifts. As with previous discussions on these options, we largely talk about how to do things using the rules as written, with minimal focus on house rules.
Also, we want to give a big thanks to everyone for patience on getting the releases rolling again. NPC was dealing with a medical issue for the past few weeks that made it difficult to do any editing. That seems to have been resolved, so looks like we're back in action!

Body Block and Tackle
2026/06/12
Read transcript
We're continuing this new exploration of combat rules options with an episode dedicated to one that - we've been told - doesn't get used nearly as often as it should these days. So let's bring it back! This one is the rather brutal and insidious "Body Block & Tackle" move, found in at least two different places in the Ultimate Edition of Rifts.

Rules Talk: The Initiative Bubble Theory
2026/06/05
Read transcript
We're back to another Rules Talk episode! This time, NPC presents a different take on handling the combat initiative flow in Palladium games, inspired by the "pair them off" concepts from the more recent rules books. Some of you may scoff at this, others may even already do this in their own games. We'd love to hear your thoughts, so please leave comments, or drop by Discord and let us know!

The Glitterbois Play Rifts 14: He's a Slurmph!
2026/05/29
Read transcript
You are probably wondering, what the heck is a Slurmph? Dustin is. He's a Slurmph. And he'll let you know, in case you forgot. It's time to meet Dustin and Edmundo, best friends forever!
EDITOR'S NOTES: A couple of additional tech notes here. Ironically, although we all touted the great qualities of the alternate FX-heavy patron-exclusive renders at the end of this episode, there didn't end up being many moments worth adding sound effects to in this one. Additionally, due to some audio issues, this episode took a lot longer to edit than normal and I really wanted to get it out the door. So this time around, there is no alternate FX version. My apologies! If it's any consolation, since we just finished recording it, I can promise you that the next episode has a lot more effects.
Also, due to the normal biological needs of the human body, Alex had stepped away from the table right before we closed out, and thus wasn't present when we were introducing ourselves. In case you were not aware, Henry is played by Alex. Thanks, Alex!

TMNT Redux Game Play Retrospective
2026/05/22
Read transcript
In this episode, the three of us take some time to collect our thoughts on the recent "Set the Scene" episode, in which we played the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness REDUX Edition (with Sean Roberson as a quest). We talk about how it worked, what we liked, and what we thought could have gone better.
