[QUOTE="HeavenShallBurn, post: 3803321, member: 39593"] In my experience the hate for "Palladium" is ultimately directed at Kevin himself as a result of his (allow me to be diplomatic) idiosyncratic and sometimes eccentric or questionable behavior. Which frequently then gets expressed through the company itself being as he is its head. I find the mechanical aspects of the his games distasteful especially given how far RPGs have progressed in the last 20 years. But the fluff aspects of his settings can be positively inspired and I freely steal from them in building settings or campaigns for any other system I'm using. Purely on fluff aspects his setting books are second only to GURPS supplements in the sheer usefulness of their flavor and information even if they don't have the pretty factor of say Iron Kingdoms. [spoiler]Personally I'd as soon skin him alive and feed him to fire ants as hand him a donut but that's a personal matter entirely separate from the games he puts out.[/spoiler] [/QUOTE]
