I listened to this earlier today, and I had a few rules thoughts.
First, Kimi needs to double-check her defenses. She should be getting improved toughness from her armor, and she can always summon her +2 toughness from summoning her Cyber Armor. The Champion edge grants her +2 toughness and +2 damage when fighting supernatural evil.
Stu's Boom Gun attacks a medium blast template, and I don't know if the large blast template would have made a difference to the outcome of the critical failure. (The deafening effect occurs across a large blast template, though.) In the fiction from the old Palladium stuff at least, we know that the Boom Gun does not shoot an explosive but instead fires a bundle of flechettes at relativistic speeds, so Bill's sacrifice maneuver would not have worked as described, but I think it was a good narrative.
I think that you guys would do well to write more on your character sheets so that you can remember the random stuff each of your powers and items grants you. I like combat-heavy games, and I don't mind it in actual plays when I hear them, but very frequent rules look-ups can be kind of frustrating. You're fine performers with cool characters and fun ideas, so I really look forward to listening to the stories you unfold. Make sure that you've got a better grasp of the rules you need for your characters, and the show will be really great.
One little request: can we see scans of the character sheets?

I was waiting for Stu Venable to say "Lucille, God gave me a gift. I boom gun well. I boom gun very well." Alas, ear wax. Rolling Ties: Ties go to the defender to the effect that the attacker just doesn't get what they want. There's an Edge that makes tied rolls go to the attacker (Hate to Lose, I think it's called). Edit 1: Did the attack against Samantha have any AP? Dragons are a lot of armor with pretty small Toughness so keeping track of how much AP reduces that armor boosted Toughness is pretty important. Also, for the love of Krom, stop whistling into the mic. My supple ears can only take so much while I've got ear buds in.

I do love the way that Bill stuck to his guns and played the character concept to the max, and took all of the negative consequences, then sacrificing himself for his daughter. I am looking forward to Kid Krazy.

Stu Venable I don't know who was doing it, but there were some songs whistled and not sung a few times and one near the end which sounded like it was right up against the mic.

I think it was when a queen was drawn for initiative that someone whistled the royal anthem.

It was fun and dramatic as always, but the rules were all over the place. Everyone seemed to have their armour wrong and at least something else. I think Dave need to collect everyone's sheet and sum it up correctly. I'd also do a two sentence rules summary before you click record. It don't need to be longer. Two hints for a quicker game: 1. Let everyone know the opponents' Parry number from the start. 2. Have a cheat sheet with all the PC's Parry and Toughness/Armour out so you don't need to ask for it. BTW this might be handy for the next fight: www.peginc.com/freebies/SWcore/Combat%20Survival%20Guide.pdf

It was lucky Krom's little people had made an outpost so there can be an continuation of the chat's participation... (please make the kid your new PC Bill Roper)

Hello? Can anyone hear me? *cough,cough* I survived the explosion. I rode the ear to the ground. It was the vomit comet, but I made it. Hello? *cough* I found the breastplate! Wait, what is that big red thing? *CRUNCH* ENDTRANS. CARRIER LOST.

Maybe it's because I listen to the APs as podcasts on headphones, rather than watch them, but mic rustling noise continues to be irritating. I don't think it's realistic to expect it not to happen over the course of 2-5 hours of recording, so I wonder if not using clip on mics might be better over all.

I've been enjoying the crazy RP in this series, and Kal will be missed.

That would be pretty funny! He might feel he's Tiffany's brother, or some sort of close ties there.
