For new Players and Game Masters

If you’re new to Palladium Books’ games, we want to help you get started. Often, it just takes a little reading, your first character sheet, and some dice to get rolling in your first game. If you’ve played other Role Playing Games, then we think you’ll be able to pick up our games with just a little translation from what you already know. 

The best part is that all of our games and settings use one set of rules, so once you learn them, you’ll be good to play everything.
