City of Heroes PodcastSorry, but there will be a slight delay in releasing the next episode.. But I should have it out by Saturday. I’ll be joined by a special guest (my wife) who is an avid CoH gamer, and we’ll talk a little about the latest CoH news, and then go in depth about the chat system.
The main topic this episode is teaming strategies. Specifically, what the roles on a team are, and the typical way that these roles are used to most effectively take down the bad guys.
Only two news clips this episode. First, Floyd “Castle” Grubb, the City of Heroes Development Team powers designer, narrates this trailer spotlighting the all-new power sets introduced in Issue 11: “A Stitch in Time.” The video also briefly touches on Issue 11’s new Weapon Customization feature.
Second is information on the Wonder Woman movie being placed on “indefinite hold”.
I play a promo in this episode for the new free podcast novel “Playing For Keeps“. This is a modern day story of super heroes; super villains; and third wave almost-heroes who are stuck in between. The story is written by the ‘grand dame of podcasting’ Mur Lafferty.
Mur currently hosts two podcasts: I Should Be Writing, for aspiring fiction writers, and Geek Fu Action Grip. This is her first novel; though she has been frequently published in role playing games, video games, and short story forms.
I highly encourage you to give it a listen. Mur is a masterful storyteller. And hey, if you subscribe to the “Playing For Keeps Experience” feed, there is a PDF version of each chapter with a picture of a pie on the cover! Pie I say!

I have finally begun to take the site from the default design to something a bit snazzier. Let me know what you think!
Are there any sections, information, or links that you’d like to see here?
Podcast production is commencing. I hope to do some recording tonight. Will drop the episode by Thursday morning. This weeks topic will be teaming, and traditional roles for running missions.
Here is the first “real” episode. I think that I’ve solved the problem of the hot “S”es (at least in Episode 0 I heard lots of crackly bits over my FM transmitter in the car). The intro/outro are almost the same, but hopefully the news and main content will have better audio quality.
This is longer than I had anticipated any episode being at just under 38 minutes, but there was lots of news this week.
News in this episode includes:
The main topic this week is terminology. This will be a primer of common terms in the game for new players and set the stage for the weeks to come.
We play our first podcast promo – this one is for Phil Rossi‘s Crescent event.
Enjoy!
