We officially have a podcast! Here are Episodes 1 and 2!


 

 

Welcome to Railguns and Dragons podcast!

A podcast about Palladium Fantasy 2nd Edition... and the chaos it inspires.

If you're into deadly dungeons, weird character builds, and RPG systems that aren’t afraid to punch you in the face, you’re in the right place.

Railguns and Dragons is all about exploring Palladium Fantasy 2e—sometimes with fresh eyes, sometimes with battle-hardened cynicism, always with curiosity and just a bit of madness.

We love the system’s quirks. The alignment chart that actually matters. The lore that doesn’t hold your hand. The sheer variety of classes that let you build everything from a holy warrior to a rune-writing Diabolist with boundary issues.

You can currently find us on Spotify & Apple Podcasts, and soon all major platforms!

Episode 1 – Getting Started

We kicked things off with:

  • A breakdown of what Palladium Fantasy 2e actually is

  • Thoughts on Kevin Siembieda and the wild structure of the system

  • An intro to character creation—just the basics, no pain (yet)

  • A look at why this podcast exists and how you can join the ride

Episode 2 – Dragons, Diabolists, and Dangerous Ideas

In Episode 2, we crank things up:

  • We brainstorm a classic “dragon threatens a village” campaign—but flip it with new twists. Why is the dragon really here?

  • We explore several classes in detail. What makes them fun? What makes them insane?

  • We open the gates for community input—send in your characters, campaign setups, or in-game disasters. We want to hear it all.

Contact us:

What’s Coming?

  • More Class-by-class breakdowns

  • House rules we actually use

  • Worldbuilding ideas you’ll want to steal

  • Guest appearances? Maybe. Depends on the bribes.

Whether you’re a veteran looking to rediscover the system or a newcomer wondering why your alignment matters this much, Railguns and Dragons is your new home.

So sharpen your sword. Prep your ritual. And maybe bring a backup character. You're gonna need it.

This is a journey deep into a world shaped by fearsome beings, forgotten cities, and monstrous secrets. Ready to see how far down the tunnel goes?
