:) We've got a taker! Who else can I interest in a fine episode, imported from the mystical Orient where it was once the pride of celestial emperors dating back to time immemorial?
::Flourishes a glass bottle of Atomic Array hot sauce for the curious assembled as he braves strutting about his wagon's rickety fold-out stage.::
There's a very brief passage in my rant about robots and moral declines that's a bit PG-13, not in language but content. Not worth an explicit tag, but if there's young kids in the car, you may not wanting them asking, "What's a fine pelvic buzz?"
For a lark, I recommend all married people in such a delicate situation look over to their spouses with dispassion, then back to the questioning kid and reply, "I wouldn't know."
That's sure to secure you a playful arm punch. ;)

Another fine episode. The setting sounds interesting, and Savage Worlds is one of my favorite rules-light systems, after GURPS (kidding!).
I'm left wondering why no one has developed a Cyberpunky Brewster game, though.
Cyberpunky Brewster... nice! A game about a lil girl who just keeps going and going and going on Punky Power. Sure that wasn't the original premise? ;)

Atomic Array episode 47 appears in a puff of smoke with a copy of The Dresden Files, Vol 1: Your Story in hand (and is asked by all around to stop smoking).
What can we say about The Dresden Files Roleplaying Game? It’s only one of the the most anticipated RPGs of the last few years. Built on the foundation laid by author Jim Butcher, this game allows you to star as the central figure in your own Dresden-based novels.
We jumped at the chance to talk with the creators. In this episode, we sit down with Lenny Balsera (Lead System Developer), Fred Hicks (Publisher), and Ryan Macklin (Lead Project Developer).

Stop being emo, tar heel. Or do I have to take you by the horns and swing you around in the air like a badger on a Benadryl binge?

Another great show, guys!
Your interviews are almost always so casual and fun. Though this show wasn't the case, you guys even manage to draw the shy folks out of their shell to produce a worthy interview.
Of course, I always enjoy the friendly banter, Ed's Picks, Rone Rants, and the outtakes at the end.

Gracias, senor Daigle! Your generous sentiments are a siesta in my pantalones.
Whenever our interviews aren't casual and fun, please remember, it really is Ed's fault.
I was hanging out with my English cousin Samantha and her fiance tonight while they visit the states and she asked, "How can I do a rant? I want to do rants!"
I think she could pull it off. She talks as much if not more than I do. Really. We must suffer from a hereditary disorder.
Craziest thing! Our waitress had Clinton Boomer's EXACT way of talking and gesticulating. It was Clinton in a dress - sans physical resemblance. I so swear. Uncanny. I even told her so and asked if she was of any relation.

I fear for the worlds safety. She didn't dress in the leather number did she?

If she was wearing that outfit I would have feared for my safety.

That interface Zero episode was pretty wicked. I actually picked up IZ (Savage Worlds) a couple days before, So that was pretty cool, I listened to the entire PodCast twice...
A lot of the IZ things I'll be using for my Savage Rifts conversion when I get back to it as well. And my Savage BL23C conversion.
Regardless IZ has a rich Cyberpunk background, and with the TAP Overlay, combined with Hellfrost Online and Dealands Online inside IZ, you can actually play pickup games with your IZ characters running other games inside the game...it's pretty sweet.

Glad to hear it, Xaaon!
Although uncredited, Paizo fave Tim Hitchcock was the guy who designed the way The Deep works. He wanted being jacked in to keep, but augment, your interpretation of the physical world around you. So someone not jacked in might just see a wall with a door, but someone jacked in sees a virtual keypad on the wall, used to open the door. But he also wanted there to be a consequence for being jacked in. Virtual threats that could only affect people with a TAP.
Fun stuff.

Speaking of internet radio...
Rone, I just saw your comment on the Experimental Radio Productions blog. I really appreciate you taking the time to post your thoughts.
It's also the only comment on the site.
My pleasure!
Are you going to deprive your linkless fellow Paizonians of a chance to hear it?

You should really check out the roster over at Cold Meat Industries. I have a lot of their older OOP titles if you want me to throw you some. I'm really digging the dystopian urban feel I get from listening to this.

::Crumples a note reading, "Great name for a mosquito rental service... Skeeter Treeters!" and tosses it into the waste bin, dejected.::
Rone, the wounded king, crowned himself with his fedora, looked around his office and took it all in one last time before leaving it empty and darkness swept except for the hallway's yellow glow through the smoked glass and the backwards letters reading R. Barton - Naming Genius. Rone never did try and devise names again after that day. No, the world clearly belonged to younger minds now and his reign of professional glory and the flood of eager dames had come and gone. Though it pained him to think of taking a forever holiday to a warmer climate, maybe it was for the best.

Jim didn't go into it too deeply in our interview, but he and his son have evolved their fighting styles harmoniously to the point where when they go out together, sabers drawn, I get the feeling that they're almost telepathic, like some bass players and drummers who work together for years. Probably best to be on the same team with the two guys who have Butcher in their names, y'know?
