Warpath Universe.EXE

The littlest of episodes.  really just a place holder since I was unable to actually MAKE an episode.Sorry guys.  Life is really taking a big bite out of me but I didn't want you to think I've given up or anything.  Working on making next month a full episode and trying to get back on track.

Greetings all!   This time around we are doing fluff, and nothing BUT fluff.  Well okay a LITTLE talk about other things at the beginning.  But yeah, Fluff...We are jumping into the wayback machine and going to the first edition of Deadzone to rip through the first (?) of its expansions, Nexus Psi.  When Mantic changed formats and put stats in the books, a lot of back story and flavor text was left on the cutting floor.  But that is exactly what we are picking up and putting back in the spotlight!Corporations?  CHECK!Not so well informed info on Enforcer space craft: CHECK!Cool Warpath Universe Vocabulary explained: CHECK!Mercs, Mercs, and MORE Mercs: CHECK!Looks like this show is loaded and ready to go!  FIRE!PS- The picture is what you get when it is mid summer and you don't have A/C but STILL need your editing Mac to vent heat so you can record and edit your pod cast. :DOpening (Fireworks) and Closing (Chronos) Music by: Alexander Nakarada: https://freepd.com/

Before we get into it, I gotta say that I do NOT look like that any more.  False Advertising?  Should I update my pic?  Hmmmmm...---------Yes yes!  Mantic has released all kinds of goodness on there super seekrit new game, Overdrive!  So much information that a TON more has come out AFTER I recorded it! :DTo get totally up to date, have a listen then check out the info and videos from the Mantic blog, below:https://www.manticgames.com/news/what-is-overdrive-the-super-charged-arena-sports-game/Also, we start a new regular segment where we really delve into the fluff of the Warpath Universe.  This time we are revisiting one of my favorite teams, the Crystallis!So hang on tight and enjoy the show!Opening (Fireworks) and Closing (Chronos) Music by: Alexander Nakarada: https://freepd.com/

Seriously, It'll be my birthday on the tenth.  HOW COOL IS THAT!?!?!?Okay, I get it.  Since it isn't your birthday, not that cool.  Well tell you what, Tell me a month or two in advance and I'll make just as big of deal for you on the show just so I can validate this message.  Deal? ;)ANYWHO!  There is only one thing that could over shadow my birthday.  JAKE'S BACK!  That's right, After recovering from my last interview with him, Jake Thornton is back to talk about all things Deadzone and beyond.  This one clocks in at close to an hour and a half , so make sure you have the tine to spare before you start.Also, there is some great news about Gen Con!  I'm not going to spoil it here, but it's pretty sweet!Enjoy the show!Opening (Fireworks) and Closing (Chronos) Music by: Alexander Nakarada: https://freepd.com/

This month's offering is a big one! I know I did nothing but Warpath and Firefight with last month's show talking about Terrain, so here is the first half of me making it up to you other Sci-Fi players.I give you, JAKE THORNTON!Jake is the creator of many of the board games put out by Mantic over the years, but his biggest hit is not only Deadzone, but Dreadball too!Today we will center on Jake's background, talk about all things Dreadball, and finish up with his his current ventures, all of which intertwined with wisdom and insight that only a man with 30 years of game knowledge can throw at you.“What? No Deadzone?!?!?” you say? Never fear! Jake has already promised to come back and delve deep into it soon, so we'll have that for you in the next month or so.

This month's instalment centers on Terrain. Yes, Terrain. That may sound like a 10-15 minutes max. conversation, but this is MANTIC! When they made rules for terrain, they broke the mold in all the right ways! ;)Terrain in Warpath and Firefight is really a third player on the battlefield. Don't use it, and yer DED!SO sit back and learn a thing or three!
