The Letters Page

Who could possibly have beef with Bunker? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:31:00 Do you want to start off by talking about what happens when you break the laws of reality? Because that's what's happening here! We attempt to make up some Bunker enemies! And we succeed in doing so, but only partly? More success than not, but certainly with some things that don't go the way we expected. Which is fairly normal for us, I suppose.  We also read and respond to your letters! Again, normal for us, but still notable! It's where the name of the show comes from, after all! Next week's show is a Writers' Room for a story called "Polar Express"... wait, that can't be right, can it? Seems... off. Or like we're covering ground already done by someone else. Well, regardless, we've already recorded that episode, so I hope it pans out. If you are on the Letters Page Patreon, please join us for a very special end of the year live Editor's Note on Thursday, December 22nd, at 11 AM, Central time! How special? We did say "very", but that's

Can The Scholar survive this eldritch foe?! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:30:57 We had a lot of fun with this episode, using a foe we haven't talked very much about (other than in a couple specific episodes). Creating more for his look and feel and plots was a blast! We hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Get your questions for the upcoming Creative Process about Bunker foes and Writers' Room about Absolute Zero and Fright Train on a holiday train episodes in now! Using this form! Do it!

Birds birds birds! But are they real birds? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:15:55 We tell a story that we've known for a while, but have never shared here! We also take a variety of questions on a variety of topics! You know, like we usually do on this show!  Join us next week for a much less known story about The Scholar!

The penultimate Editor's Note of the year! Show Notes:  Run Time: 1:03:04 We're closing in on the end of the year, but we're not quite there yet! Another live show with lots of live attendees, and great questions all around! But first, the schedule: Tuesday, December 6th: Episode #233: Writers’ Room: The Scholar lets loose in a fight  Tuesday, December 13th: Episode #234: Creative Process: Bunker Foes Tuesday, December 20th: Episode #235: Writers’ Room: Polar Express: Absolute Zero and Fright Train holiday story Tuesday, December 27th: Editor’s Note #62 Join us next week for the last Spooky Months episode: Episode #232 - Writers' Room: The Mocktriarch story! Whatever could that story be about?!

Which minor villain gets scary today? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:27:31 We're halfway through the second spooky month, but this episode is less "spooky" and more "potentially exitentially terrifying". I'm sure nothing bad will come out of it. If you're a Letters Page Patreon supporter (and if you're not, maybe you should be!) join us for a live show this Friday! We look forward to seeing you there!

Scowly heroes get scowly foes! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:45:58 Christopher and Adam are back at it again! This episode is on the long side, but it's because they're brimming with ideas! Overflowing, even! And thus: this podcast. Besides making up a bunch of things, they also studiosly answer your questions! Are you satisfied with the answers they provide? We hope so! If not, send in more questions! New news! Christopher is now doing TWO podcasts! This one, every week, and once a month a podcast called the Play Greater Podcast, along with everyone's favorite Paul Bender! The first episode is already live! Go listen to it!

WHO IS THIS: Show Notes: Run Time: 1:28:57 Not much banter as we have a lot to get into here... but definitely go watch Everything Ever All At Once. Christopher saw it when it came out and Adam just watched it in the last week and so now they can't stop talking to each other about it and have to actively restrain themselves from doing so on the air. (Christopher has been waiting for MONTHS for Adam to see it, just biding his time...) And then! We get into making a thing! We do it all with no planning! And we're really pleased with how it turned out! We go through questions, including one that calls us to task in a really good way, and we're honestly excited for the work of improving and making things better. What are these notes talking about? Listen and find out!

A blast from the past! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:15:38 Adam and I have been looking forward to this story for a long time! Do we have a plan? Heck, no! But we have what we think is a cool hook. Can we deliver? You decide! Oh, this is the crowdfunding campaign that we talked about at the top of the show. It's going pretty dang well! We have fun with the story, and then we get into questions. Not a lot for this episode, unsurprisingly, but a bunch for the Greazer and Fashion episode, unsurprisingly!  Thanks for listening!

Good morning, Sentinels! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:27:06 It's another beautiful day here in Letters Page land! Adam and I hadn't recorded in a couple weeks due to the Essen Spiel convension, so we're extra punchy in this recording — we're sorry / you're welcome? Here's the upcoming schedule! Tuesday, November 1st: Episode #229: Writers’ Room: The thing that scared Dark Visionary Tuesday, November 8th: Episode #230: Creative Process: Darkstrife and Painstake Foes Tuesday, November 15th: Episode #231: Writers’ Room: A minor villain gets real scary Tuesday, November 22nd: Editor’s Note #61 Tuesday, November 29th: Episode #232: Writers’ Room: The Mocktriarch Story Send us letters! Please! Do it now! Oh, and because you asked for it, here's photographic evidence of Christopher at the German tiki bar: Enjoy!

A lot of new stuff in one story?! Yes, indeed! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:19:13 Adam and Christopher are back to tell all sorts of stories, but bad news: Christopher's audio is still a bit weird, as this episode was recorded on the same day as last week's episode. Not to fear! Trevor and Christopher will be troubleshooting his audio this week to try to solve this issue. Don't let audio weirdness get in the way of this story! We revisit a character we created on the air of this very show, and even create a "new" villain that we accidentally named / almost retconned in a previous episode! Lots going on! Does it make for good radio? Does it ever? You decide! Christopher is on his way back from Germany as this is posted, but the voting will be live soon for Contributors on The Letters Page Patreon! Get your votes in before this Friday's live show!

We're ready to have a howlin' good time! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:27:32 The spooky times have begun, and they're off with quite the start! We recorded this episode AND next week's episode on the same day, but don't hesitate to send us any questions; we can always get to them on a future episode! If you're on the Patreon, join us for a live show on Friday, October 14th!

What's happening out in space? Nothing much, right? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:48:31 Adam is sick! Christopher is injured! But, against all odds, they perseverse and end up telling a tale they're both very proud of. Does it hold up? Do you folks like it as much as we do? Gosh, we hope so! But first, we gotta tell you all about the recording schedule from now through the end of the year! With conventions, holidays, and other travel, our recording schedule is weird for most of the rest of the year. We'll make sure to share the details again in each upcoming Editor's Note, but we wanted to talk through it as well today, since it matters for question submission. Anyway, we go through the whole thing on the air. Tune in and find out! We hope you enjoy this story! It quickly became one of our favorites.  Also, get your questions for both Episodes #226 and #227 (Writers’ Room: NightMist and Alpha vs The Court of Blood and Writers’ Room: Tome of the Bizarre Vol. 3 #11, respectively) before this coming Friday, as we're

It's another thrilling day, here on the cusp of the spooky months! We're excited for what's to come... Show Notes: Run Time: 1:52:09 Before we get into answering questions, interacting with the chat, and telling stories, we go over the monthly schedule! (That is, after goofing around a bit, as per usual.) Tuesday, October 4th: Episode #226: Writers’ Room: NightMist and Alpha vs The Court of Blood Tuesday, October 11th: Episode #227: Writers’ Room: Tome of the Bizarre Vol. 3 #11 Tuesday, October 18th: Editor’s Note #60 Tuesday, October 25th: Episode #228: Writers’ Room: Writers’ Room: The Story Christopher and Adam Mention Wanting To Tell in Editor's Note #49 (We give a mild story spoiler about each of these during the recording. Listen and find out!) Then, we get into answering questions, interacting with the chat, and telling stories! It goes pretty well, and a bit longer than the usual Editor's Note! Join us next time for Episode #225, which is a Writers' Room episode featuring both Greazer and Fashion?!

Good morning, Avians and Arcanists! Show Notes:  Run Time: 1:33:34 What kind of foes are around for a Hero who is mostly a protégé/sidekick/team member for the comparatively short time that she's a hero, especially in relation to the very long time she spent incarcerated after her ONE big villainous outing? Well, that's what this episode is all about! Listen in and learn more! Join us next week for an Editor's Note — if you're on the Letters Page Patreon, join in the fun with us this Friday at 11 AM Central for a live recording of that Editor's Note!

The Last Temptation? EVER?! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:28:56 We start off by talking about a cat, but not a real cat! Sorry for getting sidetracked. You know us. Then we talk about Fanatic! And Apostate! And a story that you know, but we've never gotten this in-depth on. Get your questions about Harpy foes in now!

It's an older story, but it still checks out! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:31:35 We had a lot of fun telling this story! As we mention on the air, we knew many elements of this story going into it, but the stuff we DIDN'T know really bloomed over the course of the recording. We hope you enjoy it, too! Join us next week for another Writers' Room about another early story: "The Last Temptation of Helena!" 

Another thrilling Editor's Note! Now, with 100% more online collaboration! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:25:31 We're all over the place on this one, as is often the case with live shows... but even MORE so this time! We weave together letter reading, question answering, environment creating, and goof making, one after another with no discernable pattern. Does that make for good listening? Seems unlikely... but perhaps? You decide! Also, there's a schedule of upcoming episodes! They look a little something like this: Tuesday, September 6th: Episode #223: Writers’ Room: The Last Temptation of Helena Tuesday, September 13th: Episode #224: Creative Process: The Harpy foes Tuesday, September 20th: Editor’s Note #59 Tuesday, September 27th: Episode #225: Writers’ Room: Greazer and Fashion Team-Up Here is a link to the document in which we created the Environment (which we "finalized" a few days after this recording — SPOILERS: we don't even finish it on the air and have to pick it back up later: classic us). Anyway, th

Paul and I did an episode live! Many of you joined us! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:37:16 Trevor did a great job not just making sure the audio worked for making this episode, but also making everything work live, AND he and his partner Jenny sang all of the musical bits LIVE! It was a delight to see him in his element. Meanwhile, Paul and Christopher goofed around on stage, but we brought a lot of you in on it, so the community aspect of this live episode was through the roof. Thank you for explaining Sentinel Comics to my cohost! If you're on the Letters Page Patreon, please tune in at 11 AM Central time this Friday for this month's Editor's Note livestream show! We're following up from the Nexus Primalis Creative Process episode and making a playable SCRPG Environment with YOUR help! Join us!

Surprise! Are you surprised? Probably not! Not that we have a lot to say here. Just wanted to hop on and chat a bit, rather than releasing nothing at all — that's no fun! We hope you all had a great Gen Con. Heck, we hope we did, too! We recorded and scheduled this minisode at the same time as last week's episode, so this message is time traveling. Like all messages, if you really think about it. Yay, time shenanigans! Join us next Friday (the 19th, not this coming Friday) for the recording of Editor's Note #58! Sure to be a grand time!

It's just another episode... or is it? (No it is not.) Show Notes: Run Time: 1:22:51 We are plagued by technical difficulties! Early on, Adam says "nothing should be changed", but that doesn't bear out. Give it a listen and see how well Trevor was able to piece together our nonsense! We're setting up Gen Con right now — if you're at the show, come visit  us in booth #1321! Next week is our regularly schedule Gen Con break, and the week after that will be the recording of the Gen Con LIVE show! After that, on Friday, August 19th, we'll be recording Editor's Note #58, which will be a follow-up to this episode, which we talk about (unexpectedly) during today's episode! If you're on The Letters Page Patreon, please tune in! This will be a community effort! We look forward to a massive creative process with all of you!
