First off, we're not going to try apologizing for anything. Because we're the Coalition.
Second, we're really sorry that we've gone a month and a half without posting anything.
This was partially due to the fact that I (Jeff) have been sick for the better part of that time, as well as the fact that NaNoWriMo was going on at the same time, thus sucking up time that a lot of people in our hobby have.
So, here we are in mid/late December. Yay. However, I do think this one is worth the wait.
Hope you enjoy!
Happy Holidays, denizens of the Coalition!

FEAR!!!
Greetings, citizens!
Ghosts and goblins everywhere...
Life's no fun without a good scare...
Come with us and you will see
This, the Coalition Deadboys Halloween special!
We're glad to present you with a special guest host today: the legendary Joe! It's great to welcome him back for this episode, especially given that we wanted to do something special for Halloween.
So, what is fear? What scares you? In a game, we're used to fighting goblins, kobolds, banshees and all sorts of hellish creatures, but does that really scare you? In this episode, we go through what a GM can do that can unnerve a player, if not outright frighten them. Also, we talk about what scares us in other media.
Sleep well, Citizens.
Carry on.

Episode 36 - We Suck, and That's Okay!
Greetings, Citizens!
The title kind of says it all, right? Everyone sucks at something (except for us--it's not like we're ever late putting out episodes…), and Matt brings a novel idea to the table this week: it's okay if you don't have mad skills in everything! We can all improve at something, even if we think we're perfect. Maybe especially then…
Except us. We're perfect.
So sit back and enjoy as we discuss some solid advice from Brandon Sanderson about … well, letting yourself suck.
Carry on, citizens!

Episode 35 - Reiterating, Chauvinism is NOT Cool
Greetings, Citizens!
Now, you may have read the title and read a little snark into it. I'd be lying if I (Jeff) said I didn't intend any, especially with the chosen intro and outro music this episode. That being said, it isn't our intention to downplay or justify the overt (and sometimes not so overt) chauvinism and objectification of women within nerd culture. A Chainmail Bikini is NOT equal to an actual suit of armor!! Recently, with such projects as The Hawkeye Initiative, this issue has gained a wider audience, but there's still a lot of ground to make up.
The Coalition States have long been held up as the standard for bigotry and inequality. But this podcast is going to make that leap and take a stand against the objectification of women, especially in "nerd culture," where it seems to be so pervasive. Another article you can take a look at is this one on the Artifice. Don't be intimidated by how long it seems--most of the page is made up of comments.
Please comment on this post. I know we didn't ask for any responses on this topic within the recording, but this is an issue that affects each and every one of us in the hobby. Whether you love or hate the scantily-clad images of post-apocalyptic females, your opinion on this matter is one that really can make a difference in the way people see our subculture.
Carry on, citizens.

Episode 30 - Getting Back Together with Nate
Hello, Citizens!
Well, Nate is fresh back from the gaming show in Vegas, and he's here to tell us all about it.
Unfortunately, I wasn't in on this one, so that's all I can say. I'll be just as surprised as you while I listen.
Carry on, citizens!

Episode 26 - Board Games!
Greetings, Citizens!
Every once in a while, there comes a time when RPGs just don't work within a group for some reason. Maybe one or two people in the group are self-conscious about playing in character. Maybe they're just not keen on the idea of role playing. Whatever the case is, board games are a great go-to for a lot of gamers looking for a self-contained experience.
Today's special guest, Kelly has created a multiplayer game called Realm Warfare. Although it may have been inspired by chess initially, this game takes all the chess-like concepts and turns them up to eleven. And puts them in a fantasy setting. We also talk about various games that we like and why we like them, but the meat of the episode focuses on Realm Warfare.
Kelly is looking to get a Kickstarter going when he knows he has some support behind the idea, so go to the Facebook group and join so he can know how many people are interested in getting this off the ground.
Again, here is the link to the Realm Warfare group on Facebook. Once he gets enough people in the group, he'll launch the Kickstarter. Until then, you can go to the Realm Warfare website to learn more about the game.
Until next time, carry on, citizens.
