Episode #223 - Fanatic #27

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!

Episode #222 - Writers' Room: Freedom Five #293

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!"

Editor's Note #58

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?

Gen Con Live 2022!

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!

Gen Con Breakisode!

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!

Episode #221 - Creative Process: Nexus Primalis

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!

Aug 2, 20221h 22m

Episode #220 - Writers' Room: Southwest Sentinels #34

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!

Jul 26, 20221h 35m

Editor's Note #57

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!

Jul 19, 20221h 16m

Episode #219 - Creative Process: Scholar Villains

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!

Jul 12, 20222h 2m

Episode #218 - Writer's Room: Freedom Five #683

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!

Jul 5, 20221h 48m

Episode #217 - Disparation Vol. 1 #13

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!

Editor's Note #56

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!

Jun 14, 20221h 45m

We'll paint you a story! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:23:10 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!

Episode #211: Mechanics of Definitive Edition

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!

Episode #210 - Writers' Room: Neighborhood Watch #5

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!

Episode #208: Creative Process: Æternus Connected Hero

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!

Editor's Note #53

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!

Lots of good stuff in this one. Even more Definitive Editions letters today, so more As to your Qs! This coming episode is an Editor's Note, which means we have a live show between now and then.

This is a weird one... but we really enjoyed it! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:20:42 Say goodbye to the "Month of Love" with this wild take on the topic! Will this be a throwaway story? Or will it be the beginning of something dreadful?! Or!!! Is it just really silly? Who can say?! Sorry, I had a whole bushel of ?s and !s that were about to go bad, so I wanted to use them up. Anyway, listen and learn! We had a great time, and I think we told a pretty compelling tale in the process. Catch you next time for Episode #204: Sentinels of the Multiverse: Definitive Edition! (And the launch of the Rook City Renegades Kickstarter?!)

Episode #199 - Writers' Room: The Guise Book #50

Oh no, is Guise in trouble?!?! Run Time: Show Notes: 1:48:42 It's a new year! We made it to 2022, everyone! Shocking, we know. Christopher and Adam are surprised by the weather, but not to worry — it's cold again now. But it wasn't for a little while! Before we get into it, we do a bit of mild campaigning for one particular episode we'd love to record next month. So, if you're a supporter of our Patreon, go vote! Then, we create a story! We had some intention from the start, but no real plans... until they unfold organically! Just like these often go, but with more Guise than usual! Speaking of the Patreon, if you're on there, join us this Friday for a live Editor's Note! First one of the year! We hope to see you there!

Definitive-Sode

Welcome to 2022! New year — new version (of Sentinels of the Multiverse) By this point, Sentinels of the Multiverse: Definitive Edition has been delivered to many of you, and it's on the way to the rest of you as we speak! We've been sitting on a number of questions about Definitive Edition, and there are still more of them that we're not getting to today — for reasons we discuss in this very mini-sode — but we take on a few of them now, with promises to talk about more stuff in the future! Let's make this year the best one yet!

Jan 4, 202210 min

Sellout-Sode

What's all this then? This mini-episode is in reaction to this very event. Will this change who we are as people? One can hope! Happy holidays, everyone! This last year was momentous for a lot of reasons, but we had a great time making Letters Page episodes for all of you, and we're looking forward to even more in the coming year! Thanks for being part of our show!

Editor's Note #51

Last Editor's Note of the year! Show Notes: Run Time: 59:16 We start with some goofs and some holiday singing, and then we get to apologies and corrections! We had been previously calling someone by the wrong name — his actual name is "Trickline the Despoiler", not "Tripline". Whoops. Also, the bar name is "The Wretched Hive", not "Scum and Villainy". You all know this. We just make mistakes a lot? Sorry! What's coming up for the first month of the new year? Tuesday, January 4th: Start of year break! Tuesday, January 11th: Episode #199 - Writers' Room: Guise and Scholar in SPACE! Tuesday, January 18th: Editor's Note #52 Tuesday, January 25th: Episode #200 - Writers' Room: An Unequivocally Feel-Good Issue Can we pull it off? Time will tell! This episode, we talk about: OblivAeon Singular Entities People from other realities Underworlds The Devil Apostate Angels Portals Space Holidays Songs and more! See you next year!

Dec 21, 202159 min

Episode #198 - Creative Process: Villainous Holiday Plots

Let's get festive! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:21:02 We don't have a specific plan, so we start telling stories, and this leads to giving away more than we originally intended. No worries! That's what we're here to do! This episode ends up almost being a series of lightning round Writers' Rooms! If you're on the Letters Page Patreon, join us this Friday for a live Editor's Note, which will be the last episode of the year! We hope to see you there!

Dec 14, 20211h 21m

Big episode about bigger things! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:35:56 We start with some big GTG news — we're pretty excited! Lots of new things to look forward to.

Editor's Note #50

Our fiftieth Editor's Note! Amazing! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:11:52 To mark this momentous occasion, Trevor is doing something new! Apparently, there's a thing you can do with podcasts where you set "chapters"? With info and stuff, and you can jump to them or something?

Episode #195 - Creative Process: Underworlds

Let's make some under/outer/extra/other/etc.worlds! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:05:32 At the top, we tease a piece of mail, but Adam rightly notes that we should open it in the Letters section, as it is a letter. Then, we dig into a few places, none of which are the sorts of places we should visit! Whoops! Probably nothing bad will come of that... OK, at the end of the Letters section, we open THIS! [Spoilers to follow...] We're very honored to have gotten this REAL mail! Thanks, Tres! Join us next week for Editor's Note #50??!??!?! Can that be right? We've been in this format for 50 months? Sheeeeesh!

Episode #194 - America's Finest Legacy #214

It's SCARY how well this episode went! Even though we recorded it much later than we usually do! And look at how cool this cover turned out! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:36:39 After some goofs and talking about Trevor, we get into the overview, in which we do a bunch of work! Well, first, an interview? (Trevor wanted me to tell you that the musical excerpt in today's episode is Jean-Joseph Mouret's Rondeau, as performed by Monsieur Croche, so you know.) Then a bit of a retcon. And then some new stuff! And all kinds of things. Far more than a single issue worth of story. Exciting times! Then, after a lot of story building and storytelling, we take some Mr. Jitters questions, some Adhesivist questions, and a few grab-bag questions! Join us next time for a Creative Process about Underworlds! And go check out the Devil Bunny Kickstarter!

Episode #193 - Disparation Vol. 2 #63

Oh no, Mr. Fixer! What now?! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:28:21 We start with barely a concept on this one and just build as we go. Pretty pleased with how it went, but I don't think we'd have called how it turned out from the beginning! We have some Mr. Fixer questions today, as well as a few letters about various Discord/Disparation stuff. Thought provoking stuff! We do our best to provide satisfactory answers. Do we succeed? You tell me! Join us next week for a Mr. Jitters story! Make a run for the border!

Episode #192 - Daybreak #6

The newest, youngest, RPGest team! And a spooooky adventure! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:36:31 Gotta say, we had a lot of fun delving into a lighter fare (but still spooky and frankly pretty dark) story with our Daybreak friends! But yeah, we managed to make it weird, even still. This Friday is an Editor's Note! Join us live if you're part of the Letters Page Patreon! We hope to "see" you all there for a Very Halloween Editor's Note!

Episode #191 - Writers' Room: Alpha: the Wolf-Woman Vol. 3 #12

Something wicked (awesome) this way comes! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:27:09 Adam and I recorded TWO episodes on the same day, and they're both great! You'll only get to hear one of them today — you'll have to wait a week to hear the other. Don't worry! The wait will be worth it. Lots happens in this episode, including going into WAY more issues than just the one pictured above. Why? What about? Involving WHOM?! I mean, this episode was promised to involve both witches and at least ONE werewolf, and it does! But what else? Well, you'll just have to listen and find out! Join us next time, when we tell a Daybreak Halloween story! But don't send in letters for that one — it's already recorded! Instead, send in letters for the following Editor's Note, and the episode after that one: a Disparation story involving Oni Mr. Fixer! Stay spooky, kids!
