Palladium Books' is a company founded and mostly run solo by Kevin Siembieda. It has produced around 15 separate settings all using a single semi-standardized game system. It is about on the same level of complexity as D&D 3.5e, but may be harder to learn from the book because of layout (depending on the which book you use, some are weirder then others, opinions fa/tg/uys?).
Their earliest successes were The Palladium Fantasy RPG and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness, followed by the official Robotech role-playing game. Their most popular product to date is the Rifts RPG and setting.
