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!

Episode 42 - How to Campaign in 90 Seconds!
Greetings, Citizens!
First, to address the elephant in the room, no. We haven't disappeared. You know your coalition government far better than that. That real-life monster reared its ugly head again and prevented me from getting time to edit the podcast. But here we are! Hopefully we can get back on track.
So, we've been asked several times (hi, Dave.) if we could do some more actual roleplaying in our episodes. Naturally, being dumb, I (Jeff) thought that meant y'all wanted some actual play episodes. Now, don't worry; those aren't going anywhere. So if you like the CDAPS episodes, you'll still get those on an alternating basis. But in this episode, we took things in a different direction.
Random character generation, random scenario generation and go! You'll have to listen to the episode to get the full effect, but letting the GM run the scenario with a pair of percentile dice and the players using a d20 for everything? Yeah. It was hilarious. And awesome.
So enjoy this week's episode, How to Campaign in 90 Seconds!
Carry on, Citizens.

Episode 27 - The Deadboys are Going Rogue!
Hello again, Citizens!
First off, I (Jeff) want to apologize for this post being late. I've been having some technical difficulties and haven't been able to get it up until now.
So, here's the question of the day. How useful is a rogue, really? When you've got a barbarian that has an absurd amount of M.D.C., how big a role does a rogue character play within a party?
As Matt points out, Palladium makes a huge rules distinction between fighting classes like a barbarian and a roguish/thief class: one of the main ones is that if you want to play a roguish character, one thing you can't really do is get hit. Palladium is good about limiting the power of a rogue, but what about a barbarian? Listen as we chat about how other players can work with a combat-heavy character that can "discover" all the traps within a dungeon for themselves and contribute to the story.
Carry on, citizens.

Episode 16 - It's a Bird! It's a Plane! It's a One-Off Adventure!
Greetings once again!
Fellow citizens, a listener pointed out something important to us recently: we talk about Rifts a lot. But what about the other games within the Megaverse? Well, to that I say, look, up there in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! No! It's Heroes Unlimited!
Heroes is probably one of the first systems most Palladium gamers learned, and it's still one of the most popular—and for good reason. And with the current environment regarding superheroes at box offices everywhere, the system has the potential to take itself to new heights!
But naturally, we can't shut ourselves up there. Another question we wanted to answer in this episode is what to do about one-off adventures; that is, for those of you just coming into the RPG world, an adventure you run in a single session. A lot of people have trouble thinking of a "small campaign" to create, because they think they're wasting a good storytelling opportunity. Well, Nathan will set you straight this week. He's run a lot of one-off adventures, and knows what he's talking about. If you're keen to learn how to make the most out of your superpowers, how to run better one-offs or to combine the two and make the most out of your superpowered one-offs, have a listen!
