We’ve all been there. A truck spills toxic waste, waste goes into the sewers, turtles are mutated into Ninja Fighting Warriors, and are then trained by a rat. Its an oft told tale, and this show the…
No entities detected.
I, uh, well, I will say this, and I told this to everybody going into it, that reading through it is really similar to just about every Palladium game because they all follow the same basic rule type set.
There's a lot of differences that make it more fun to me, because when I was introduced to it, I got into a group that was very, very militant acted.
We were playing Advanced Recon at the time, which is sort of a Vietnam replay or a Rambo game type play, run through the jungle, shoot everything you see.
I had run into Dave and that group, and we're like, "Hey, we should, we should play a game of our own." And another friend of mine said, "Hey, you should run this, um, this game.
It's more fun and sounds like it's more up your line." And I read through the rules and like, "Well, okay, I get the idea," 'cause it's the same as the other one.
I did the, uh, module Truckin' Turtles, which is one of the first, first modules they put out for it, which is hilarious.
We used all the, the rules, 'cause you can add every book and add every character type.
The thing that won me over, the second I was like, "This game is awesome," we're checking...
This, the Truckin' Turtles is a big truck, and he's a platypus, and basically this other trucker comes out of the truck stop and goes, "Hey, what are you doing over there?" He's a full naked feral, uh, platypus, drops to all fours, rolls his disguise check, [laughs] gets like a 37 on a 35%, turns to him and says, "Off, off, I'm a dog, mate." [laughs]
It didn't matter if he did it or not, it was hilarious, and I was, I was won over by the game immediately with that.
I, I bought and owned this the second it came out back in the day, and, uh, I've always regarded it as a, a well-written and well-designed game, and, uh, for the time, as a, a great and comprehensible layout and art, uh, including art that's mostly by Eastman and Laird, the, uh, creative artist, the artists who created, uh, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
