Welcome to another episode of Midnight MonPod! On tonight’s episode I go through one of the “MonPoc Fundamentals” articles available on Line of Sight. This time it is “The Four Unit Archetypes” by Jeff Gum. It is one of the most helpful articles I’ve read in regards to new players, and I...

Tonight’s Midnight MonPod is something a little different from most of the recent episodes.
Instead of going over any models in their specifics, I recorded a musing on the way Buildings are actually used in the course of the game. I have attempted to describe the different ways buildings are played and used, and how that interacts with the game itself at large.

I used Obliteration Boulevard as the map I looked at while recording the episode, and have thrown a copy of the map up under the episode notes on the Line of Sight posting of this episode.

Feeling pretty good right now, as I've got a full month ahead already uploaded to Line of Sight already.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me and the show this far.
Episode 45 is likely gonna be some kind of acknowledgement of the fact that I've been doing this for almost 2 years now.

Welcome to the third Faction Focus series on Midnight MonPod!

Tonight we start in on the Shadow Sun Syndicate, a faction protecting the humanity and society of Earth using means that are often seen as questionable. Sun Industries is a planetary leader in the Biotech and Nanotech fields, and the Syndicate uses these to great effect by fielding cybernetically enhanced warriors who grow to colossal sizes to do battle with the besieging forces arrayed against the planet.

This episode touches on the lore of the faction, and goes through all the Unit models currently in the game.

Welcome to another episode of Midnight MonPod!

On tonight’s episode, I go through all the monsters currently in the game and talk about their nicknames. Many of them are straightforward, but some of them have been throwing newer players for a loop.

I’ve also made a spreadsheet graphic to go along with the episode, and it’s being posted here on the Line of Sight page for the episode.

Hope the episode is helpful!

Hello, and Welcome to Midnight MonPod!

On tonight’s episode I’m joined by Emanuel Class, host of the Field of Fire podcast and leader of the Field of Fire Media group. We have a nice long chat about Monsterpocalypse, with specific topics ranging throughout our personal experiences with the game.

A substantial portion of the episode is devoted to talking about the MonPoc Radio Play over on Field of Fire. There are quite a few backstage tidbits about the process of making the Radio Play, and a few spoilers for Episode 3 which drops very soon!

I hope you all enjoy Emanuel’s energy and enthusiasm for the game![There were some minor audio issues, where I needed to patch over distorted lines, and I apologize for how unnatural those breaks sound]

Hello from Midnight MonPod! Tonight’s episode is a collection of battle reports from the Rooftop Rumble 2 event hosted by Mike “Vicarious” Ireland on July 17th, 2021. It’s largely kept short and sweet, but we discuss some of what went right and what went wrong in our games. Hope you enjoy the first on-location episode! If you visit the Line of Sight page for this episode, you can see all the photos I took at the event.
