"Go to the sign of Marvel's Axe, a dubious inn on the edge of the Thieves Quarter, in the City of Greyhawk, and look to your own wrist. If you perceive a bracelet and dangling dice, watch for the next throw in the war between Law and Chaos and be prepared to follow the compelling geas." -Signal

Palladium Role-Playing Game (Revised Edition)






From the web:
"A fantasy RPG written at the time of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons that tried to overcome some of the limitations of that system. To that end, some of the unique features of the Palladium RPG at the time were:
  • Several more player races including Troglodyte, Troll, Ogre, Orc, Kobold, Wolfen, Changeling, Hobgoblin, & Goblin
  • Expanded character class system that included 8 martial (fighting) types, 6 magic-user types, and 4 clergy types
  • A primary and secondary skill system
  • An expansive magic system that includes traditional wizardry (spell) magic as well as witchcraft, elemental magic, circles/symbols, demonology and illusions
  • A unique protection system in which armour degrades as it is used (Structural Damage Capacity (SDC))
  • A religion system that borrowed heavily from H.P. Lovecraft as well as Egyptian mythology"
