I always "liked" how saving throws are basically never explained and the base values for them are buried in the combat terms glossary that's copypasted into every palladium book. Also I've always been amused by Kevin's love of bizarrely specific percentages such as '23% of all people of race X hold Y viewpoint'.

I remember one of the books ranting that lasers are silent and using turning on a flashlight as an example. No crack or loud discharge of energy there right? Exactly the same.

Yeah and his grasp of the usefulness of military hardware is... dubious. Half the stuff that Golden Age Weaponsmiths digs up and retrofits would be museum pieces NOW, much less in 100 years. The canonical KS tank is the vietnam era M48. It comes up all over palladium stuff and I honestly think its just because he had a picture of one lying around that he could reuse. On the other hand I approve of the notion of incredibly ancient POS MBTs being refitted with building destroying murderlasers!

50 Foot Ant posted:The idea that the CS would shun magic is interesting in theory but let's face it, when your back is against the wall you grab at everything. And going straight by the book for attitudes and tech creep will just make everything somehow 'meh' instead of the kickass thing it should be. For what it's worth one of the books actually brings up a secret cabal of coalition magic users left over from before the CS and the Federation of Magic had their little falling-out.
