[QUOTE="Neo, post: 2096868, member: 4139"] I have to admit I have bought LOTs of palladium books over the years from Palladium Fantasy, RIFTS, Robotech etc.. I did this for a number of reasons: Great Cover Art, Excellent Settings, Great Interior Art and so forth...being amongst them. There has however always been one stumbling block I have always faltered across whenevr I've tried running the games and that is this. ==The System Doesn't Work Well At All== There are some serious issues with a number of facets of the game.. and the gap between SDC and MDC is perhaps one of the biggest. Balance between all the various O.C.C's and R.C.C's is another. This stumbling block has been recurring and I've tried many times to run the games but the rules inevitably lead to the end of said games with my group agreeing wholeheartedly they just dont work and we move on to something else. It is because of this that I stopped buying Palladiums books.. I dont really mind one way or the other what system Palladium use so long as it WORKS.. if they fixed the existing one GREAT, if not then USE another... but digging thier heels in and swearing blind anyone who says thier system doesnt work like me just doesnt get it as the system works fine is infuriating and frustrating... Do they not see that LOTS more people want to buy thier books if onyl they listen to thise "Customers" and address these issues. Palladium may still have a loyal fanbase but I imagine it grows smaller with each new release as it just continues to drive home how nothing will change. I real honest to goodness shame as thier settings and Ideas truely are first class. [/QUOTE]
