[QUOTE="deganawida, post: 9172341, member: 67836"] While I have not played it in over 30 years, I have very fond memories of it, and did purchase a PDF of Palladium Fantasy 1st Edition Revised a couple of years ago. For its time, I have to say it was pretty good. Not great, but pretty good, and my gaming cohort loved it. I wouldn’t say it’s aged as gracefully as B/X, but I found it easier to understand than 2e. TMNT was fun. Heroes Unlimited was a blast. Rifts had a ton of great ideas and classes. I still prefer the alignment system of Palladium to D&D’s. When I finally read Fantasy, I was struck by the stark differences between how classes were described in it versus 1e, which I purchased at the same time and read. Whereas 1e focused class design on the dungeon adventuring group, PF seemed to focus on having classes that represented more actual social roles. It even had a class for the peasant who gets wrapped up in things above his station, which is cool as beans. [/QUOTE]
