Greetings, Citizens!
This week's topic is a beefy one, and one we know we'll not get to the end of in just one episode. So, we're going to break it up into several different parts. The trick is that we don't know when those other parts will come (Click the "archetypes" tag for the others as they become available).
Thieves. Tanks. Gandalf-ey wizards. Luke Skywalker. What do they all have in common? They're all based on a sort of archetype. In this episode, we start to scratch the surface of what archetypes we like and why we like them. Also, Matt gives us a good idea of what O.C.C.s and R.C.C.s are great fits for the type of character you might want to play. Well, as long as you tend to play along the same lines as Maddy and Jeff…
Carry on, Citizens!

Episode 32 - Deutchland, Deutchland, Uber Alles!
Greetings, Citizens!
Today, we managed to make a trip across the Atlantic Ocean, and we're now in the beautiful New German Republic! And although they treat D-Bees with a little more respect than we do back home, it's almost like being back in Chi-Town! What with all the power armor … the three of us have been in mecha heaven!
Anyway, while recording this, the folks we hitched a ride with got a little tanked on the local brews and are now in the hands of the Splugorth. Can't really say I'm upset about it -- those guys were jerks. But still… I'm not sure how we're going to get back to the CS now. We'll check in again in about two weeks.
Until then, carry on, citizens.

Episode 17 - If I Could Save Time in a Bottle
Greetings, Citizens.
It's a lovely day in Chi-Town, and we're sure your CS-issue food rations are just great. If not, report to the nearest military officer. He'll take care of you.
This week, Matt and Jeff discuss Ley Line Walkers and all they bring to Rifts Earth. Plus, they continue from the Job Fair to the Palladium Travel Agency to Rifts England, where Temporal magic flows. Time is an interesting thing, and it was a fun discussion to have.
As always, remember to leave plenty of comments and feedback. You can leave them here, or send us an email at coalitiondeadboys@gmail.com, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. You can also tweet us @CSDeadboys or get in touch with us via the Palladium forums. We have our own sub-forum there, but it's like having a new couch. It takes some time getting used to it, but eventually, you'll wonder how you ever did without it. Feel free to post new threads, new topics or to add to existing ones.
Also, if you want us to talk about something specific, please let us know so we can get on it. Whether it's related to Palladium or not, we want to know what you want, so you can enjoy the show more. Also, if you are an author or game designer and want us to review or critique your stuff, we'll more than gladly feature you on the show. Just send us an email, and we'll get the ball rolling.
Thank you, and carry on, citizens.

Episode 14 - We Can't Call Them Jedi, But...
Greetings, citizens!
It's been a mere two weeks since our last communique, and this time we're pleased to present the Order of the Cyber Knights!
If you're not familiar with Rifts earth or the Cyber Knights, just read the title one more time. It's pretty accurate.
Now, I can't speak for Matt, but I had a great time discussing this. There are so many things that a Cyber Knight can do that no other O.C.C. can do, and rarely can a player or NPC be as powerful as they are as a Knight.
And for those of you who are Star Wars fans, we draw a lot of comparisons between the Jedi and Cyber Knights. Of course, you can just as easily do it with King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table.
Anyway, enjoy the episode.

Episode 13 - Hitting the Forums
Greetings, citizens.
Well, you asked for it. Here it is. In this episode we discuss one of the hottest topics on the forums: what can Palladium do better? What are some ways the company can make their games better? After all, as players and fans of the Palladium Megaverse, we have an investment in the company, whether that means a financial investment or just a psychological one.
We also have a triple-threat this time. We took time for a Palladium Travel Agency, Creature Feature and a Job fair of sorts—that is, we kind of smash them all together to feature the Coalition States. In lieu of the episode that never was, we felt it was about time to give you at least a brief overview of what makes this Megaversal presence what it is.
As always, here's the link:
You can also download the episode from here, from iTunes or from your favorite podcatcher. But wherever you get it from, please be sure to take just two minutes and leave a rating and a comment. Even if it's not all that good, it'll start a trend. It'll help the podcast get noticed, and soon we'll have more Palladium fans and players than ever. After all, that'll give us all more chances to game, right?
Until next time, carry on, citizens.

Episode 12 - Holy Entomophobia, Batman!
Greetings, Citizens.
First things first: I am deeply sorry for the delay in getting this episode out to you. We had some more technical issues than expected this time, but they were fixable this time.
One word: Bugs.
This is a continuation of episode 11, and it's jam-packed with bugs--we cover a race, a few critters and even give you a few ideas as to what you could do to spice up other games, like Heroes Unlimited.
There's not much else to say. Again, sorry for the delay; hopefully, the next episode will be on time. We've recorded it already, and I'm anxious to start working on it.
But until next time, carry on, citizens.

Episode 8 - The Order of the Pants
Hello, citizens!
First of all, let me again apologize profusely for the delays in getting this episode to you. There was a little bit of trouble with a Xiticix hive near our location, but we've naturally got the situation well in hand.
Today's episode features a very special guest: Maddie, from Matt's current campaign. And man, can she kickbox!
We also delve into two different topics for this episode, although we got the normal order confused. First, we get to the Job Fair, where we discuss the Necromancer O.C.C. Apparently, they're not all evil...
And since we have someone of the female persuasion on the podcast, Matt and I were also naturally eager to learn a little more about how to best make gaming accessible to women--and more than that, how to make it enjoyable enough that they will want to continue doing it and make it less and less a "guy thing."
Until next time, keep your dice rolling.
