Never played Palladium games, but the other day in an online post someone asked about good RPGs for horror adventures and there were quite a few recommendations for Beyond the Supernatural. Started doing some research and ran across this video reviewing and explaining the game. Found the PDF and perusing through it to see if it sounds interesting enough to consider running for a one-shot or something more.

After watching the review and reading through the PDF, this doesn't look like something I'll be interested in running. I'm sure back in the late 80s and early 90s when horror genre RPGs were minimal, this was probably a nice go-to, but today I don't see any benefit of using this particular system.
