That's when the whole space game idea was supposed to be around the corner...later we got Aliens Unlimited.

I can't believe any such animal can exist within a "universal Palladium" system/paradigm...it is completely structured to personal combat and immediate task resolution...large combats, spaceship battles (ANY vehicle battles) are antithesis to the current focus of the Palladium system. And until his iron grip on that focus relaxes I can't see it ever evolving.<br /><br />@ Loquacious: Yeah, it would...but then you miss the sheer abundance of imagination the guy has. There is a lot of "stuff" in all that dross.<br />: )JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532311924539491087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-66545136247356802352011-01-17T08:23:01.174-08:002011-01-17T08:23:01.174-08:00I ignore the man and all his work.

The core system though really hasn't evolved and is quite outdated. I have always thought their character generation needs to be re-worked because of the inconsistencies in it. I really do like their combat system, it seems to make sense to me and when I have run it I like it. When you start taking a look at some of the other offerings from Palladium you can see little changes creeping in to try and bring some balance, Dead Reign does come to mind. Though even that shoots itself in the foot when you look to see how hard it is to kill a zombie. After being fed Romeroesque Zombies for years and what The Walking Dead gave us the Dead Reign game is, eh.<br /><br />I know that Kevin has gone through a lot in his life, I've had the chance to speak to him at cons before and find him to be very passionate and I know that life has thrown him some nasty curve balls BUT I wish he would evolve the system a bit...and give us the Space game that was promised over 20 years ago!Rhonin84https://www.blogger.com/profile/12705745087341419896noreply@blogger.com
