🛠️ Publisher & System Overview Palladium Books
is a historic tabletop role-playing game publisher founded in 1981 by Kevin Siembieda. Renowned for constructing dense, highly detailed worlds, Palladium operates on a unique “Megaverse” engine philosophy—a mechanical rule set designed so that characters, magic spells, items, and monsters from any of their distinct settings can technically be integrated into another. For your sandbox world of Eraedal, its sourcebooks provide the foundational, grimdark lore layer for territories like the Western Empire and the Yin-Sloth Periphery.
Inspiration
Palladium Books and Kevin Siembieda have been an inspiration to me since the release of their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Role Playing Game. I still have my original copy from 1985. While my systems have changed, my worlds and my style have been forever inspired by their creativity and worlds.
