41. Gathering of Heroes

43. The Cathedral

Josh and Nick discuss The Cathedral, that bastion of the Champions of Light in Wormwood... or are there? Is that corruption getting the better of them? We talk about the kinds of campaigns you can run and different types of characters you can play following the path of light. Listen to hear how to be a Wormwood hero!

41. Gathering of Heroes

We're joined again by Nick today to discuss playing a Gathering of Heroes campaign. What sort of prep should you do, and what kind of character should bring? We took the Gathering of Heroes campaign in World Book 4 and punched it up to the next level with a four act structure and lots of opportunities for the players to see how their choices are having an impact on their world as they play through it. Here's a link to the handout you can give your players at the beginning of this campaign if you'd like to use it.

39. Egyptian Mythology in Rifts

Josh and co-host Nick dive into the pantheons of Ra and Taut in this electrifying episode of Ley Lines and Lore!

Not only do we tell you the ins and outs of the pantheons, we've also got some ready-make plot hooks to toss into your campaigns for a short stint. We've also got a fully-developed outline for an epic campaign highlighting some intrigue between Thoth and Apepi. Don't sleep on this! Support Palladium Books!
