[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 1975363, member: 232"] I was a huge Palladium. I have every book they published through 98. That's not an exageration. The first thing that really started to bug me about Palladium was a few personal scandals. They would part with some good talent and the reasons were never clear. They had their story, the talent had another story. After talking to a few of them there really seemed to be an unfriendly patern about it. Then there was the duiscussion on their message boards that started to not be allowed. Like saying things were wrong with the system. These weren't rants of flames, though they turned into them. But the Palladium system has flaws that no one seemed willing to talk about, discuss, or help solve. THere was the constant reprinting of material, and never having it make sense. Then there were the vaporware books. Their delays were bad enough (Beyond the Supernatural 2, only a decade late!!) and while they seemed sorry about them, they never fixed them. A few delays are expected but book after book after book, it became a joke. Then there is the changing of settings. Rifts Earth as presented in the main book is not what we got with the suppliments. The one up man ship of power and AIs was just terrible. The last straw for me was the fans. I'd go to cons and message board, chat rooms, etc and the fans were becoming people I could not talk to or play with. It seemed that Palladium fans took munchkin to a new level and the company was supporting this. [/QUOTE]
