The Letters Page

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!

A Southwest Sentinels story? It's been so long! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:35:40 We're counting down the days until Gen Con, but we're not quite there yet! We reached out to the Letters Page Patreon contributors for some help narrowing down this topic, and we got a story we might not have told otherwise, which was a blast! We hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Get your questions in now about Nexus Primalus, as we're creatively processing that strange place this coming Friday for next week's episode!

Another successful live show in the bag! Here's the audio. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:16:37 Too much time spent on banter last time!  Here's the upcoming schedule: Tuesday, August 2nd: Episode #221: Creative Process: Nexus Primalus Tuesday, August 9th: No Episode! We’re at Gen Con! Tuesday, August 16th: Gen Con Live 2022 Tuesday, August 23rd: Editor’s Note #58 Tuesday, August 30th: Episode #222: Writers’ Room: Aminia Twain saves the Freedom Five We start off by answering questions about OblivAeon... and then it spirals downward continues fruitfully and interestingly from there! Join us next week for Episode #220: Writers' Room: A minor villain gets a major triumph! Who can it be?! Time will tell...

Villains for such a friendly fellow? How can it be?! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:02:47 We start off with a real life tale of peril! If you don't want to hear about me and some of my friends in real life danger, I recommend skipping ahead to around the 35 minute mark. That said, it's a helluva story! And everyone survives! Uh, spoilers, I guess. Then, we make some villains! We're all over the place on this one, and we're thrilled with the things we came up with. A real cornucopia of evil.  Join us next week for an Editor's Note, or, if you're on the Letters Page Patreon, join us this Friday for the live recording of that Editor's Note!

It's pirate time! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:48:10 We've got quite the story for you today, and it's all happening live (except for the fact that I did a bunch of middle of the night thinking about the story before we recorded, as discussed on the air). We tell more than just an issue or two of story in today's episode —  we range far and wide, but still manage to go deep on more than just today's cover issue! We've been on a creative roll, and you get to reap the benefits! Join us next time for a Creative Process episode all about Scholar Villains! Get your questions in now!

Time to get BOLD! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:38:15 Whew, this is a big one! We've been thinking about this story internally for a while, and we're excited to get to share it with all of you! We hope you enjoy it! Special thanks today to Greater Than Games employees SaRae Henderson and Twuana Price for their helpful advice and consideration on the history and depiction of this story. Join us next week, when we tell a La Capitan story! 

Another episode recorded at an odd time! Show Notes:  Run Time: 1:11:19 Since we recorded this episode about a week early, we didn't know at the time of recording what the outcome of the voting would be, but we know now! So, here we go: Upcoming schedule: Tuesday, July 5th: Episode #218: Writers' Room: La Capitan & the Sliver of Creation Tuesday, July 12th: Episode #219: Creative Process: Scholar Villains Tuesday, July 19st: Editor’s Note #57  Tuesday, July 26th: Episode #220: Writers' Room: A minor villain gets a major triumph We talk about a bunch of topics, including a fair bit about Definitive Edition stuff, and we take a bunch of live questions from the Patreon Discord, too! It's an Editor's Note! You know how it goes, probably. Get your questions in for those upcoming episodes! We look forward to reading your letters!

Ve vant to tell you stories! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:44:59 Vampires! A whole world of them?! You betcha! We do some goofs, and then get down to crafting a lot of story!  Next week is this month's Editor's Note, but we already recorded it! But we'll have a whole new slate of episodes for next month coming soon!

Time for a bit of passionate heroics! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:26:14 We're into the month of June! Disparation all month! Will it wear out its welcome? Who can say? Time will tell! First, we get into the heady topic of "chip clips" and then solve them. Also, we tackle fries. Is this the return of the food episode? Listen and find out! This coming Friday, we're recording an episode about "Vampire World". Get your questions in before the sun rises and we all turn to dust!

We'll paint you a story! Show Notes: Run Time: 1: It's Adam's birthday! Today is the day! As a result — or, actually, because you demanded it — we tell a frankly silly story that ends up doing some interesting things. And also we read your letters! This was the first of two episodes recorded in one day, as I'm now in the UK for a week and a half for UK Games Expo! (If you'll be at the show, come hang out with us in Booth #1-852!) But, was this the BEST episode we recorded today? You'll just have to find out next week!

A irregularly recorded but regularly released Editor's Note! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:34:34 We talk about many things, but first, the schedule! Upcoming schedule: Tuesday, June 7th: Episode #215: Writers' Room — Disparation: Inversiverse Galactra Tuesday, June 14th: Episode #216: Writers' Room — Disparation: Vampire World Tuesday, June 21st: Editor’s Note #56 Tuesday, June 28th: Episode #217: Writers' Room — Disparation: Reinventing a Classic Sentinel Comics Hero Questions from all over and about all things!

This coming Friday, May 27th, we'll be recording TWO episodes! First, we'll record Episode #214: Writers' Room: Setback & Unity team-up, which will be released on May 31st, which is Adam's Birthday! We'll also record Episode #215: Writers' Room: Disparation —Inversiverse Galactra, which will be re

A spooky tale?! From the Sentinels Universe?! NOT IN NOVEMBER?! Huge if true. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:38:33 We hit the ground running at speeds unlike any we have ever reached! And yet, we STILL spend a chunk of time on the story and also read and answer a variety of letters! If you're listening to this right when it comes out and you're a Letters Page Patreon subscriber, you can join us live for this month's Editor's Note RIGHT NOW! Come join in! Also, join us next week for Episode #214: Writers' Room: Setback & Unity team-up! Get your questions in now!

Time for a trio team-up! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:23:28 This one was a tough story to make work! We go down a lot of false trails before fighting out how we want to make this happen. They can't all be easy! We hope you enjoy this peek behind the curtain, seeing what's it's like when we're struggling. All part of the process! Get your Absolute Zero and Muerto questions in now! We're recording on Wednesday this week (tomorrow!) instead of Friday, and recording TUESDAY of next week! That's right! The live show next week is being recorded only a couple hours after next week's episode goes live! Join us!

Let's get mechanical! Show Notes:  Run Time: 1:05:05 We start in the semantic weeds, right off the bat! And that's what you've got to look forward to for this episode! OK, OK, though the first few letters are pretty mechanically in-depth, we DO get into the more "Hows" and "Whys" of how the mechanics and the thematics match up. It's not all just "how do these cards interact" questions!  Join us next week when we kick off the rest of this joyous Adam's birth month with a Team-Up episode with Episode #212: a Writers' Room episode about Young Legacy, Unity, and The Harpy!

A new story! A new team of heroes face some new villains! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:49:52 We start in rare, ridiculous form. And then it gets even more ridiculous. But then! Finally! We start telling stories! And we tell several, to make up for all the ridiculousness.  A lot of the content in today's episode references the newest Sentinel Comics RPG book: The Guise Book! You can get the physical book from our webstore or from your friendly local gaming store, or get just the PDF from DriveThruRPG! Thanks for listening, everyone! Join us next week for a discussion on the game mechanics of Definitive Edition! Get your questions in now!

It's almost May! But first: the rest of April!

Next week, we're doing a Neighborhood Watch episode! Get your questions in now!

Robots... in time?! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:20:38 Sure, we have all manner of banter up top, but then we get into a lot of details, lore, retcons, corrections, stories, and THREE COMIC BOOKS?! An entire 3 issue arc? YOU BET! Spoilers, I guess. Anyway, enjoy! Join us next time for a live Editor's Note!

Let's take this podcast straight to hell! Er, to heck! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:25:36 We start off with some April Fools "pranks"? We recorded this episode on April 1st, so it seemed only right. But! We don't get too hung up on it, instead defaulting to our usual banter. And then! We make a couple of characters! Lots of new stuff here, so no spoilers in these notes — gotta listen to find out!  Join us next week for Episode #209: Writer's Room: An Omnitron-X story!

Who wouldn't like Sky-Scraper?! These people. That's who. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:21:54 We start with a bit of banter, especially about Adam's frankly immature chickens. We talk about a fair number of villains — some you know about, some you want to know more about, some you've never heard of! Also, the Rook City Renegades Kickstarter is still going on for a couple more days! Don't miss it!

An Editor's Note! Recorded on a Saturday?! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:23:41 Christopher just got back from a show, but recording still must happen! There's a bunch of weirdness at the start with reading names from the Discord chat that have "honh honh honh" in them. It's a real inside cricket joke. And then people share their pet pictures, which we talk about — fantastic radio, I tell you.  Upcoming episodes! Tuesday, April 5th: Episode #208: Creative Process: Æternus Connected Hero Tuesday, April 12th: Episode #209: Writer's Room: An Omnitron-X story Tuesday, April 19th: Editor’s Note #54 Tuesday, April 26th: Episode #210: Writer's Room: Neighborhood Watch Don't forget, the Rook City Renegades Kickstarter is still live!
