Per Ulairi’s suggestion.
I came into the hobby in the early 1990s, the heyday of AD&D 2nd Edition, and picked up Palladium Fantasy circa 1996, if I recall correctly — 2nd edition had just come out and the improved compatibility with Rifts was a plus for me.
I picked it up maybe more as a Rifts supplement but I quickly realized there was a lot more to like about the game. To wit, the character classes, the magic and the setting. I really, really dig the setting. Palladium is right up there with Mystara as an influence that seeps into just about every fantasy setting I've ever created.
Also the monsters. Demons and devils (sorry, "deevils") all over the place, no punches pulled. I wonder how many (if any) AD&D1 fans might have migrated to Palladium with the advent of AD&D2?
