#Palladium Books
Note
Reading your posts mentioning Palladium, and currently listening to an episode of a podcast about Heroes Unlimited. I have to ask, why *are* Palladium games like that? Is there some goal in mind? Some quirk of the era that they couldn't shake off? Is it one really weird guy catering only to himself in the design room?
(With reference to this post here.)
It's 100% on account of the fact that Kevin Siembieda genuinely believes he's an excellent technical writer, and he's really, really not. Like, I'd be the last guy to impugn his creativity, but from a technical writing standpoint his work is consistently very bad, and has not discernibly improved since 1981.

The Original Triceratons: are they a tale from our past... or our future? - TMNT comics
They are on of the earliest creations in the TMNT franchise (predating the Turtles), and have been adapted in almost every version of it. But who are they? What's their origin and relationship with other races? Join me in this video about the Original Triceraton Republic.

The Best Selling Hit RPG from 1985 is Back!
This Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness Kickstarter campaign features a relaunch of the original TMNT role-playing game and sourcebooks, sought-after collector items that have enthralled generations since their release in 1985 as one of the first licensed TMNT products.
They are returning to print as two, officially licensed, deluxe hardcover collections of the RPG and all sourcebooks. Each is completely remastered, includes rules clarifications, and is updated to full color. Bonus material includes an array of new artwork, never-before-seen behind-the-scenes info and art, remembrances, and tributes by renowned comic book and RPG creators Kevin Eastman, Peter Laird, Freddie E. Williams II, Sophie Campbell, Jim Lawson, Ciro Nieli, David Petersen, Steven Cummings, Ramon K. Perez, and many more.
From Kevin Eastman, TMNT Co-Creator
This is incredibly exciting! I am 1000% onboard to help bring this historic and original TMNT Role-Playing Game series back in a truly deluxe collector’s edition that will thrill original fans and open the door for new ones.
I've made all my archives available for expanded behind-the-scenes content as well as a few top secret surprises you need to be part of. Stay tuned!
What is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness RPG?
CREATE YOUR MUTANT - Mutate your own hero (or anti-hero) from a wide variety of urban, rural, and wild animals from birds to exotic zoo animals. Train them up with a variety of skills, combat experience, weapons, cool gear, and even psychic powers!
EXPLORE - Shrouded in secrecy is a hidden world of mutants, robots, aliens, time travel, and even passages to other dimensions. While their existence is kept secret from the public, the deep lore of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - and other strangeness - awaits fans old and new to experience firsthand.
ADVENTURE - Visit the back alleys, sewers, and dark recesses of metropolises like New York City, or travel to faraway exotic dimensions. Get caught up in mayhem and foil plots to destroy the neighborhood, the world, or even stop an alien invasion. The choice is yours, and so are the weird friends and rewards that await. Each book contains easy-to-run adventure scenarios as well as plot hooks to keep your own story arc fresh for years.
DISCOVER - The familiar cast of the TMNT are joined by unique potential allies, enemies, and frenemies to add to the RPG lore. These characters, originally illustrated in 1985 by Kevin Eastman, Peter Laird, and others, have never appeared again in the TMNT comics, cartoons, movies, or video games. The Terror Bears, Caesar's Weasels, Doc Feral, and more will delight new and old readers and gamers alike with their memorable antics, crazy origins, and unique motivations. Learn their schemes and grand plans for the future of mutantkind and decide - will you help them or work against them?
Originally released in 1985, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness role-playing game books were created using typewriters, paste-up boards, and lots of handcrafted skill.
REMASTERED TEXT: Palladium Books' archives of these titles - the original boards sent to printers for printing - have been painstakingly scanned at high resolution, cleaned up visually, edited for typos, and updated with new content and rules clarifications.
ART UPGRADE: We are pleased to say that the high-resolution scans have the art looking sharper than ever and presented in glorious full color for the first time by top colorists like Michael Majestic, Jeremy Colwell, Luis Antonio Delgado, and more. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness looks more stunning than ever before!
FRESH CLEAN BOOK: When combined with advances in digital printing, modern digital layout software has also allowed us to refresh the look of the books while staying true to their classic presentation. Each book will have a back index and other tweaks to make the contents easy to navigate and enjoy.

If I was designing an RPG where you head seperate psionics and magic systems, I would simply not give the magical energy points a name that contains "psychic".

#mhac.txt#down on palladium#would they have a library of technical books for writing/clay; photography; and art? of course#but they're also going to pull each other's peeters and read about other men pulling peeters
