The Letters Page

It's Ramblin' time! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:57:21 There's much to explain about this fellow still, and we get into a bunch of it! Some foes are created, many questions are answered, and there are even a few goofs! There's a lot to get through, and we manage to make it work! Whew! Join us next week — or live this Friday if you're on the Letters Page Patreon — for Editor's Note #67!

Whoa, it's been a LONG time since we talked about Tarogath! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:31:11 Adam's birth month continues with more creative processes! This episode involves as much recalling, restating, reframing, and re-explaining as it does creating, but sometimes that's what it's all about! Join us next week for ANOTHER Creative Process, this one all about the foes of the mysterious Rambler! Because you demanded it! If you want to make demands, consider joining the Letters Page Patreon!

Christopher's voice is compromized, but he's still gonna come up with bad guys! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:32:49 It's the first week of Adam's birth month, and we're happy to be here! We're off to the races with this one — been a long time coming, and we didn't really do any prep work (other than sneaky stuff last week... but you'll have to listen to find out what that means) so you're getting all this mostly uncut! From the Golden Age to very modern, indeed! Also, there's a fun cameo in the letters section! Enjoy! Join us next week for ANOTHER Creative Process, this one about Lifeline's supporting cast!

We've got three action packed issues coming at you! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:40:57 We tell the story of the Citizen Dawn Event from Definitive Edition Sentinels of the Multiverse! Then, we go on to answer a bunch of questions, both about Citizen Dawn and about the recently revealed Grimm! Also, check out this very cool crowdfunding campaign, in German! Join us next time to kick off Adam's birth month with one of many Creative Processes!

A note! From Editors! For Editors? BY Editors?! Who can say! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:43:49 There was a lot of great interaction from the chat on this one, which means that even though we recorded for over 2 hours, Trevor cut a lot of Bad Radio and this episode is a reasonable length. Whew! Upcoming schedule! Tuesday, May 2nd: Episode #247 - Creative Process: Fashion Foes Tuesday, May 9th: Episode #248 - Creative Process: Lifeline Supporting Cast Tuesday, May 16th: Episode #249 - Creative Process: Rambler Foes Tuesday, May 23rd: Editor's Note #67 Tuesday, May 30th: Episode #250 - Writers' Room: Scavenger Unity When we finally get into letters, we acknowledge that we were wrong to do rules rulings on the air. Whoops! We'll still take letters about rules questions, but we'll answer them with more care and oversight. Thanks! We still have lots of Rook City Renegades stuff to talk about, and we do! Listen and find out! Catch you next time for Episode #246 about the Citizen Dawn event with an alien artifact on Insula Primalis! Get your questions in now!

Someone's about to have a bad day! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:35:25 The prompt for this episode was "a hero turned villain", and we start off by going through many instances of this in Sentinel Comics, before getting down to the business of ruining a perfectly good hero. Greater than good, in fact! It's a real shame. The Disparation campaign went well! VERY well! Thank you to everyone who joined in! If you missed it, don't worry — we'll have the preorder store thing up in the not-too-distant future where you can join in late. Become a "slacker backer", if you will. Will you? Won't you? Would you? We hope so. See you next time for an Editor's Note! Join us live this Friday at 11 AM Central time if you're a Patreon supporter!

Let's get wild... wild west! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:17:42 We start off by talking about... legislation?! Yeah, OK, weird, but look. It's scary out there. We're concerned. Then we do some math. Sorry. Then! We talk a bit about the Sentinels of the Multiverse: Disparation BackerKit campaign that is currently ongoing but about to finish up! Check it out while you can! And finally, we tell a story. Or! A few stories! Pretty cool stuff, if we do say so ourselves. And we do. Emphatically. Join us next week for an episode about a Hero turned Villain!

We finally get to talk about [redacted]! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:25:00 We've been just vibrating with excitement to finally talk about the subject of this episode... and you're just going to have to listen to find out! We hope you enjoy it, and we look forward to fielding your many questions about this newly revealed very old character! Near the end of the episode, Adam plugs a comic he's into, which I wrote about in one of the Disparation BackerKit updates last week! Read about Principles, and then check out Impossible Jones! See you next time!

Good morning, everybody! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:27:28 We do some goofs at the beginning, as per usual! You know how it goes! Let's talk about the upcoming schedule! Tuesday, April 4th: Episode #244 - Writers' Room: A Silver Gulch Story Tuesday, April 11th: Episode #245 - Writers' Room: A Hero turned Villain Tuesday, April 18th: Editor's Note #66 Tuesday, April 25th: Episode #246 - Writers' Room: Alien Artifact on Insula Primalis (which is the Citizen Dawn event from the core game) Listen to those episodes! More importantly, submit questions for those episodes! I would tell you to get questions in for next week's episode (Tuesday, March 28th: Episode #243: Writers' Room: Sentinel Comics Horror Host for Tome of the Bizarre), but we've already recorded that episode! So, questions for next month, it is! Also, while I'm issuing directives, also check out Sentinels of the Multiverse: Disparation on BackerKit! It's going really well! See you next time!

What the heck? WHERE the heck?!?! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:32:27 We're doing some experimental cooking in today's episode! Metaphorically speaking, that is. Spite is best used sparingly, especially since he's so often, uh, expired. And Rambler is still a relatively new flavor for us, so this... soufflé... might be different from other soufflés you've had, but we're still proud of it! (OK, that metaphor got entirely away from me. I regret nothing!) Join us for stories, questions, answers, and more! And, if you're a member of The Letters Page Patreon, join us this Friday at 11 AM Central time for a live show! If you're not a member of The Letters Page Patreon, consider becoming a Contributor today! If you do, and then ping me in the Discord (if you're not sure how to, the kind and enthusiastic folks there will be more than happy to show you the proverbial ropes), I'll do an extra reveal there of content for the currently ongoing Sentinels of the Multiverse: Disparation crowdfunding campaign! I'm not into killing any number of birds with any number of stones, so let's say that's like petting two cats with one hand. Much better.

Let's get natural! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:58:14 We have a variety of ideas for foes, and we don't even explore all the ideas we mention! That fine — this episode ended up coming in on the long side, anyway. You asked us a bunch of questions! We answer many of them! Keep asking more! We like it. Join us next week for a Writers' Room episode about Rambler vs. Spite! Oh, and about an hour after this episode goes live, the Sentinels of the Multiverse: Disparation campaign goes live!

Let's go to space with a couple of gals who are pals! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:47:33 K.N.Y.F.E. and Sky-Scraper are a couple of fan favorites, especially due to to burgeoning "ship" between them... but where did it all start? Right here! This is that story! We tell stories from three (THREE!!) issues of Sentinel Comics, then we answer a bunch of questions! What more could you want? If there were something more you wanted, I'll bet you could find it as part of the Letters Page Patreon! Check it out! Join us next time for an episode about foes of The Naturalist and Akash'Thriya! Who could dislike them? Time will tell!

What hath we wrought?! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:44:57 This is one of the longer Editor's Notes we've done! We just were in a strange mood, so we kinda just kept going! I drew a dragon. Adam helped. Here are the upcoming episodes! Tuesday, March 7th: Episode #241: Creative Process: The Naturalist & Akash'Thriya Foes Tuesday, March 14th: Episode #242: Writers' Room: Rambler vs. Spite Tuesday, March 21st: Editor's Note #65 Tuesday, March 28th: Episode #243: Writers' Room: Sentinel Comics Horror Host for Tome of the Bizarre We talk about OblivAeon, food, AI, and more! Join us next week for Episode #240: Writers' Room: The K.N.Y.F.E./Sky-Scraper arc in Cosmic Tales that's happening simultaneously with the Scholar/Count Barzakh story!

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:48:47 We start off with a discussion of a particular cookie. We really get into it. This is the Il Alimento episode, if we were just talking about cookies as ourselves instead of in some weird chef character. Sorry about that / you're welcome? Then! We finally get into this accursed topic! And we craft a story that... we're ultimately pretty happy with? And yet also follows the prompt of "make a romance the fans hate". Enjoy? At the end of the episode, we talk a bunch about a Kickstarter that we have nothing to do with — we're just into it! We highly recommend you go check out the AEGIS 2 Kickstarter! The game is awesome, and we love it. Join us next week for an Editor's Note! Join the Patreon to be part of the live recording!

Issue 200?! What a major issue! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:13:53 This episode represents a cross over from the end of January, into the month of romance, shipping, and longing glances across a crowded room. The story in this episode probably won't give you your romance story fix... but next week will be... worse?! Probably. Anyway, we cover a bunch of issues in this episode! Listen and find out! We also answer many questions on a variety of topics! As per usual! Join us next week for Episode #239: a romance the fans hated! Hoooo boy...

We're finally gonna talk about this lady! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:29:59 Baring any bear-related incidents, we're finally covering Busybody! Listen to the episode, and let us know if it was worth the wait! We think it was... but we also thought we told you about this months ago. So, you know, that's on us. To make up for our goof, we talk about a LOT of different issues of Sentinel Comics, so there's that? Hope that helps? Can you find it in your hearts to forgive us? Join us next week for Episode #238, a Writers' Room episode about a hostile takeover of Montgomery Industries! Get your questions in now!

The first Editor's Note of a new year! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:18:33 We start off this Editor's Note by acknowleding that we spent a long time on the stream before we actually started recording this episode. Whoops? Consider joining The Letters Page Patreon to witness such events yourself! Here's the upcoming schedule: Tuesday, February 7th: Episode #238: Writers' Room: Hostile takeover of Montgomery Industries Tuesday, February 14th: Episode #239: A romance the fans hated Tuesday, February 21st: Editor's Note #64 Tuesday, February 28th: Episode #240: Writers' Room: The K.N.Y.F.E./Sky-Scraper arc in Cosmic Tales that's happening simultaneously with the Scholar/Count Barzakh story We also plug the other podcast that Christopher does with Paul, called the Play Greater Podcast. Check it out! Join us next time for us finally talking about Busybody?! Can that be?!?! Seems unlikely. Time will tell!

One-shot. Two letters sections. Anything could happen! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:28:16 We do only a few minutes of banter before getting into something of an overview... and then going into a few letters right away! And then back to making the issue itself. A playable issue! I mean, not playable YET, but this year! Ideally in about 6ish months... time will tell! Join us this coming Friday for a live Editor's Note! Send in your questions! Join us live on the Patreon! See you then!

Hey, folks. No real episode today, after all. Sorry for the break in schedule, but we didn't have it in us to make an RPG one-shot. I wrote a bit about it in a recent Kickstarter update. Thank you all for your patience. We'll be back on schedule next week. Speaking of which: Tuesday, January 10th: Today Tuesday, January 17th: Episode #236: Creative Process: Make an SCRPG One-Shot Tuesday, January 24th: Editor's Note #63 Tuesday, January 31st: Episode #237: Writers' Room: Busybody Tuesday, February 7th: Episode #238: Writers' Room: Hostile takeover of Montgomery Industries

You didn't think we were going to go a week without posting SOMETHING, right? Welcome to 2023! We're starting this year out by pulling back the veil on 2022! Here's the stuff that Trevor cut from recent episodes in 2022. Not ALL of the stuff cut. Really, just a bunch of stuff from recent holiday episodes. And some other tidbits as well. Anyway! Gives you a feel for what Trevor has to endure to make this show happen. Enjoy? Join us next week as we get back into it!

It's the end of the year! Let's do another one next year! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:34:18 Trevor made us a bunch of fancy new music for this one! The recording was pretty unhinged, as well, so Trevor ended up cutting a LOT. Interested in hearing the sorts of things Trevor cuts? You should join the Letters Page Patreon! Patreon supporters get to watch the Editor's Notes live, and also have access to the YouTube recordings of past Editor's Notes. Just figured I should mention that. ANYWAY! Adam coached me on how to draw a tree! And our delightful listener Churro drew this amazing and definitely canonical box art for the next expansion for Sentinels of the Multiverse: Definitive Edition: And holiday times were had! Letters were read! Questions were answered! Huzzah! Oh, and here's the upcoming schedule for January, 2023! Tuesday, January 3rd: Holiday break Tuesday, January 10th: Episode #236: Creative Process: Make an SCRPG One-Shot Tuesday, January 17th: Episode #237: Writers' Room: Busybody?! Tuesday, January 24th: Editor's Note #63 Tuesday, January 31st: Episode #238: Writers' Room: Hostile takeover of Montgomery Industries See you next year!

Choo-chooooose Sentinel Comics this holiday season! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:15:38 Happy Holiday times, everyone! We've got a story full of Christmas cheer... and trains heist! Multiple trains; one heist. You'll see! If you're on the Letters Page Patreon, join us this Thursday for a very Christopher-and-Adam-mas Editor's Note! Also, for Patreonists, voting is up for next month's topics! Go vote! See you soon!

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 not particularly clear. Just know that it's at the very least special because it's the last episode of 2022, which has to be worth something, right? Anyway, we look forward to talking to you all then!

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 recording both on that day!

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?! Who authorized this?!?! It's gonna be... well, interesting likely doesn't even begin to cut it. Time will tell! Join us then!

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, that doc is pre-editing for both rules consistency and typographical errors. Just enough to make it work and go into playtesting. But that's OK! SCRPG environments are hardy and can stand up to a lot of variation. If anything, we're pretty such we made this one too rough, but that's what you get when you go to a dinosaur island with an active volcano and then you add a bunch of Void nonsense on top of it! Join us next week for an episode about Aminia Twain saving the Freedom Five! We like to call this one "Episode #222". Pretty catchy, right?

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!

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!
