  Palladium Books - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Palladium enjoys the support of a small but dedicated fanbase, who applaud what they feel are the company's innovative settings and their games' high levels of adaptability to various personal preferences, play styles and power levels.
Palladium is aggressive in preventing wide distribution of fan-made conversions of their games to other systems (such as the D20 System), and also discourages converting the intellectual property of others into their system; while they cannot prevent it, doing so is not allowed in spaces owned by Palladium Books.
Palladium's games are sometimes criticized for their older, and somewhat abusable rules system, varying artwork quality, late releases, frequent typographical errors, frequent duplication of large amounts of text in the same book, and sometimes confusing layout.

 Palladium Conversions Question - RPGnet Forums
