An earlier version of this episode had an audio editing error which made the intro fiction difficult to hear. This is the fixed version. 

A sad but epic end to our Mechanoid story arc in our fiction today. It's also a great episode about playing a campaign against the Mechanoids, specifically from the Coalition side of things. Not only will this episode help lay out a method by which you might run an actual Mechanoids campaign from start to finish, it also provide tips for players on areas for growth.

The True Atlanteans are one of the most popular races in all of Rifts lore. We are taking a close look at them and their magic. Tattoo magic is a great way to keep your special bodies stuck to your body, even if you lose your equipment. And stone magic is... well... a great way to interact with stones. It's cool, though, I promise. Pyramid powers and magic gems and statues. Listen to hear all about it!

What's it really like on Mars in Rifts? We've got all the bugtastic details in this episode. Plus, we detail how you might use the Coalition in a Mars campaign, Starship Troopers style! There's advice for building player characters and also info on GMs looking to run a Mars campaign. It's kind of spooky!
