Episode #214: Writers' Room: Justice Comics #695

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!

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 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.

Episode #203 - Writers' Room: Tome of the Bizarre Vol. 4 #50

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!

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!

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? I'm not sure how all this works — I don't even know if it did work! But we're shooting for it! Time will tell! Here's the upcoming schedule: Tuesday, December 7th: Episode #197 - Creative Process: Singular Entities Tuesday, December 14th: Episode #198 - Creative Process: Villainous Holiday Plots Tuesday, December 21st: Editor's Note #51 Tuesday, December 28th: End of year break!

Join us next time, for the last spooky episode of the year: Haunted Fanatic!

Nov 23, 20211h 11m

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!

Nov 16, 20211h 5m

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!

Nov 9, 20211h 36m

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!

Nov 2, 20211h 28m

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!

Oct 19, 20211h 36m

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!

Oct 12, 20211h 26m

Episode #190 - Writers' Room: Tome of the Bizarre Vol. 3 #52

Looking forward to what the future may bring.

Whoopsisode 2021

What's this? Something unexpected?! No, not really. We mentioned it at the end of last week's episode: I was at Gen Con last week for meetings and such, but GTG wasn't there as a company, so no Gen Con Live this year. Hopefully next year! Oh, and I guess there's a letters section? I didn't know anything about this in advance. Well, we'll just see what happens. Join us next week (or this Friday if you're a Letters Page Patreon supporter) for a regular-style-but-a-week-late Editor's Note, in which we'll also unveil the rest of the schedule for October AND November! Exciting! Spoooooky!

Episode #189 - Creative Process: A Sticky Subject: All About Adhesivist

Glue pun! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:17:44 There is less history to this character than many, but that doesn't stop us! If anything, we're excited to build him out! Especially with all the great folks that have given to much to The Adhesivist. Not sure what I'm talking about here? Listen and find out! At the end of the episode, we talk about how the schedule is about to get weird: rather than the regularly scheduled Editor's Note #48, we'll have a interlude-type-thing, just for fun. Then, the NEXT week will be the Editor's Note, followed by Episode #189, though now off by a week. Which is OK! Everything will be fine! The Patreon supporters are already hard at work, voting for the episodes they want to hear in October AND November! If you're on the Letters Page Patreon, go vote now! And, if you're not a Patreon supporter, you can be, and immediately get access to that voting! What are you waiting for? Get in there! We'll catch you next time!

After about 44 minutes of story telling, we get into your questions! On a variety of topics! Not so much this episode, but that's not a huge deal. Join us next week for a Creative Process episode we're referring to as "A Sticky Subject" ...it's all about Adhesivist!

Then, we finally talk about the upcoming schedule: Tuesday, September 7th: Episode #188 - Writers' Room: An issue of Engine Block Blues Tuesday, September 14th: Episode #189 - Creative Process: A Sticky Subject: all about Adhesivist Tuesday, September 21st: Editor's Note #48 Tuesday, September 28th: Episode #190 - Writers' Room: Post Oracle of Discord Revelations in Canon Reality And then, we go read your letters! In the questions section, we do have some spoilers for a couple adventures. Trevor does a magical thing with my voice just after the 28 minute mark to indicate the timestamp of when you should skip ahead to avoid spoilers! What?! Trevor can make me say whatever he wants now? Is any of this podcast even real?!?!? Am I real? Heady stuff, folks. Thanks for all of your questions, for listening, for playing our games, and — hopefully — for voting! And don't forget to back Get Bit!

Episode #186 - Writers' Room: NightMist #49

Finally, you get to see the Soothsayer himself, and on a comic cover, at that! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:30:54 So, we do some goofs, but then the story came together... so quickly? Whoops? It's OK — we spend extra time in the question section, as a result! A very important thing happened last week while we were recording this episode! We here at Greater Than Games were nominated for several ENNIES! Learn more in this blog post I made yesterday. Two big things: this podcast was one of the nominations, so this is now an Ennie Award Nominated podcast! Can we win an Ennie? That's up to YOU! Voting runs Wednesday, August 18th through the 27th! The second thing: the Sentinel Comics RPG got a bunch of nominations, so that's what the upcoming Bullpen will be about, which we're recording live this coming Friday! Come join us!

Episode #185 - Creative Process: Expatriette Foes

Greetings from the distant past! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:33:34 What ancient words you hear now... can this hoary old record still hope to have any relevance in this new world of today? Well, let's see! After some goofs (or are they seriouses?!), we go into making up villains for our favorite gun-toting cyclops! (I mean, first we do on-topic goofs, because, how could we not?) After about an hour of villain creation, we take your questions! What do we do with them? Nothing responsible! Join us next time for a team-up Writers' Room between your favorite misty magician and your also favorite grumpy arcane academic!

Episode #184 - Writers' Room: Disparation Vol. 2 #150

La Comodora and Chrono-Ranger visit the Extremeverse! Or is it the Xtremeverse? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:36:42 Adam's got house problems, but that's not going to stop us from getting EXTREME! But first! Some spelling disputes. Then, we tell a whole set of stories! More than we expected! We bounce between a few different issues. All over the top. We hope you enjoy them. And then the questions ALSO get XTREME! Trevor does a great job with the episode, as usual. Join us next week for a Creative Process episode about Expatriette Foes! However, we're recording that episode the same day this episode comes out, in the evening, so if you don't have letters in within the first few hours after this episode is posted, then instead get us letters about the next episode after that: Writers' Room: NightMist & Soothsayer Carmichael Team-Up! Woo!

Episode #183 - Writers' Room: Arcane Tales Vol. 2 #534

Biomancer is back, but with a more explained plan than ever before! Still not THAT much explanation, though. It's still Biomancer. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:29:54 We're excited to bring you another Biomancer story. He's very much a "sometimes food", but we enjoy it when it comes up. We do some goofs, figure out where/when in the history of Sentinel Comics this issue lands, and tell the various parts of this story, all of which takes just over half an hour! We're getting pretty good at this. Then, we get into a ton of mostly-Biomancer focused questions. Go figure that such an enigmatic figure would raise so many questions. Join us next week for a Disparation Writers' Room all about La Comodora in the Extremeverse! Get your questions in now!

Episode #182 - Writers' Room: Justice Comics #299

Time for a quick switcheroo! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:25:22 Let's swap some bodies! Just who will get swapped, and to what end? The cover above gives at least a little of it away, but not enough to ruin the story... not by a long shot! After about 38 minutes of storytelling (sprinkled liberally with goofs), we get to your questions, which range far and wide! High and low! Inside and outside! Cats and dogs, living together! Join us next Tuesday, July 20th, for Bullpen #4! OR! If you're on the Letters Page Patreon, join us live on Friday, July 16th! Come talk to Dave! And a special guest! And Adam, but with Dave's voice! And more!

Episode #181 - Writers' Room: Disparation Vol. 2 #119

The fireworks are still going off here! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:36:41 We do some small talk, and even a bit of medium talk, and then we get into the story! By "story" I mean, slogging through coming up with versions of the heroes for the tale. Once we've got those, everything else goes smoothly. That's how it goes! Lots of questions on a variety of topics, which we get into at around the 51 minute mark. Join us next time, where we tell a Body Swap story!

Episode #180 - Creative Process: Grace and Owen Charles in Universe One

Let's talk about the people who get revamped into Catastrophe and Verge in the Vertex timeline! (Now there's an "inside baseball" statement!) Show Notes: Run Time: 1:38:34 We're flying blind for this one! Rather than coming at it with an idea of where we're going, we just knew that we needed to fill some story gaps. And we did it! Plus, came up with some content that you'll see in the future... Thanks for joining us! Get your questions in for our historic look at a hero team, with Episode #181 - Writers' Room: Disparation: Freedom Four 1776!
