Where did Magic in the Palladium System Go Wrong?

This is the episode I meant to run before getting... sidetracked. I'm trying to narrowly focus on the things that kept me, as a struggling GM, from actually making settings work and flow. That's out of love not hate, to be clear. The settings are great. The trick is to make the game flow well enough that people can enjoy and have fun. Fun is a good thing here!
