An early 1990s ad for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TTRPG by Palladium Adapting the comics, it launched in 1985 using Palladium's "Megaverse" system. By 1991, TMNT had become a huge phenomenon thanks largely to the cartoon series which, allegedly (and ironically), tanked sales in the TTRPG.

I still have most of these books. Unfortunately, not the CRB, which was my first TTRPG book. I found it in a used bookstore in my tiny town, and it was like discovering the Holy Grail.

Good ol Palladium! While this has been rebooted, in between they have their own take on this called After the Bomb which is a super fun read 😁

I remember this too! same guy that had Ultima:QOTA actually had this... definitely way different from D&D that's for sure.

I shared this with a friend, and he showed me this in return...it's been rebooted! www.kickstarter.com/projects/pal...
