I don’t have a ton of experience with this game but we don’t use AR for zombies nor do we use any sort of damage reduction. Works well for what we want which is zombies more like an environmental hazard (a “horde”). When we used AR and DR they were pound for pound as tough or tougher than the PCs. T...

Ahh ... this is a little disheartening. Seems as though the problem is the opposite as what I anticipated. Even without using the simultaneous attack option (one of the few Palladium rules that I don’t like, I never use it in games as an intentional combat option I only allow it when the initiative ...

I am wanting to start a Nightbane game. In reading the book, which I think is great, I noticed how many SDC/HP that Nightbane characters can regenerate per round. It seems really high to me. I want my players to feel vulnerable and with this level of regeneration I honestly don’t see them worried ab...

In the very first, not revised, version of Heroes Unlimited (it’s a relatively skinny book that is hard to find) PP only modified strike and parry. SPD modified dodge.

I know that some hate the original book, which actually takes place long after the two series I...

I did a search but could not find info on my two questions for TMNT or After the Bomb. 1. I was wondering how people handled SDC for normal human characters in these games. In some of the TMNT human entries for human NPCs, their SDC can be really low like 10, 2, or even 0. Are these characters start...

I also realize that we can analyze this to death, but it seems to me that all these passages in the rules are trying to do is convey how the zombies perceive humans. The zombies see humans not the way we see things, because they are seeing the PPE. That PPE does not actually physically glow like a f...
