The Letters Page

Just what IS Visionary's deal, anyway? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:18:02 We talk about more than just one issue! We have lots of issues, in fact! But we only full Writers' Room one issue, which is the cover you see above here. But just what is that story? You'll have to listen to find out! After a little over half an hour of storytelling (this one went surprisingly quickly!), we get into your questions. We even get into some letters about unrelated alternate reality stuff — seems like there's a lot of lingering interest there! Thanks for listening, everyone! If you're a Contributor on our Patreon, go vote now for what we're talking about next month! And join us live this Friday for the next Editor's Note!

What sort of friend-persons does our favorite very tall / very tiny alien have? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:46:36 We talk about people in Sky-Scraper's life! It gets meandery. Go figure! After just under an hour of nonsense and storytelling — in equal measure — we read your letters to you, and we talk not just about Sky-Scraper, but also get to the lingering letters about xxtz'Hulissh and Atlantean-related stuff. Join us next week for Episode #179 - Writers' Room: Disparation: Visionary's origin timeline. We'll talk about both before she leaves and after she's gone, but which one will we do a full issue on? Who can say? Get your questions in now!

It's International, Intergalactic, Mega-Meta-Multiversal Same-Age-Day! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:26:56 What a strange and different episode we're having today! Do we have a plan? Only slightly! We spend some retrospective time, and then move on to a variety of letters of many different sorts! Join us next time for Episode #178 - Creative Process: Sky-Scraper Supporting Cast! Get your questions in now!

We talk about Legacy stuff! Again! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:54:22 We falter our way through banter, eager to get to it! And then we go long! Sorry about the comparatively longer show — Legacy just brings that out of us! Plus, at least one major reveal that connects the dots on some things you didn't know... Join us next week for our first Same Age Day Show! What will we talk about? Time will tell! One week's time, in fact!

Let's talk about a bunch of different things! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:23:08 We start by talking about teeth! Sorry to anyone who doesn't want to hear about teeth. Here's the upcoming schedule! Tuesday, June 1st: Same-Age-Day-Sode! Tuesday, June 8th: Episode #178 - Creative Process: Sky-Scraper Supporting Cast Tuesday, June 15th: Episode #179 - Writers' Room: Disparation: Visionary's origin timeline (before and after) Tuesday, June 22nd: Editor's Note #47 -OR- Bullpen #4. Hard to say which. Tuesday, June 29th: Episode #180 - Creative Process: Grace and Owen Charles in the RPG era This Editor's Note, we talk about a bunch of topics, including: OblivAeon Scions Power Kickstarter Definitive Edition Absolute Zero Names Gifts and more! Catch you next week for Episode #177 - Creative Process: Young Legacy Foes!

Two issues?! In this economy? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:33:36 Adam and I are in rare form! We're always in rare form, though — not fully cooked. Half baked, if you will. We tell a hero/villain team-up story, as requested. But it takes us more issues than we thought! You get twice as many issues (and twice as many team-ups) as anticipated! Then, a variety of letters on a series of topics. You know, like we do. But different! Or, at least, unique. Next week is an Editor's Note, so if you're a contributor to the Letters Page Patreon, join us this Friday for a live show!

Bark at the moon! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:35:52 We start off by talking about Adam's sleep schedule, which is appropriate as this is the first episode of Adam's Birth Month! Thrilling times! Then, we get to all the wolfs. We tell you more about a wolf you know, and a lot about a wolf you don't know yet! Where have these wolves been hiding all this time?! At around the 45 minute mark, we get into questions! More wolf stuff there, but also some non-wolf stuff! Join us next week for a Hero/Villain Team-Up Story! Get your questions in for that story now!

Welp, guess we'll go mad! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:18:38 It's been so long since we've done an episode like this! How do they even work? We end up doing a bit of "Creative Process" and "Writers' Room" type stuff in the Overview section, as that's how we work best, apparently. As a result, you get lots of backstory, some points of interest, and a cool story or two! And all within about half an hour! Hope that answers all your questions on xxtz'Hulissh! We certainly don't expect much in the way of follow-up episodes to this one... (that is yet another one of our lies, in case you weren't sure). At around the 28 minute mark, we get to your questions, which surely answer any and every question you could possibly have about xxtz'Hulissh now. Whew! Glad we got that covered. Next week's episode is the long-awaited werewolf stories Creative Process... but we've already recorded it! So, get your "Hero/Villain team-up" and "Young Legacy foes" questions in! Plus, any follow-up xxtz'Hulissh questions, I guess. If any. Not really expecting much in that way, but maybe one or two. Perhaps. Stay sane, everyone!

That's right! We actually did it! Welcome to the long-awaited and oft-delayed Editor's Note #45!! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:38:35 How do we even do this type of episode? We're not sure, so we just kinda wing it. That said, we get to all the stuff. I think. Pretty sure. Next month is the month of May, which — as everyone knows — is Adam's birth month! Celebrations will be occurring everywhere, and both participation and enjoyment are mandatory! In the episode, Adam attempts to explain the joy of birthdays to Christopher for several minutes. Does it land? You decide, listeners! Anyway, here's the upcoming schedule: Tuesday, May 4th: Episode #175 - Creative Process: Werewolf Stories Tuesday, May 11th: Episode #176 - Writers' Room: Hero/Villain Team-Up Tuesday, May 18th: Editor's Note #46 (TWO IN A ROW?!?!) Tuesday, May 25th: Episode #177 - Creative Process: Young Legacy Foes A thing we didn't say on the air: right after recording this Editor's Note, we immediately recorded this upcoming Friday's episode all about xxtz'Hulissh! So, any late-coming questions about xxtz'Hulissh will have to wait for follow-up episodes. Probably for the best, as we know the episode we recorded will generate (spawn?) many more questions. That means, this Friday, we're recording the Creative Process all about Werewolf stories, so get your questions in on that topic ASAP! Ideally by midnight, Thursday the 22nd, as I compile questions early Friday morning before we record. Ask us your wolf questions! We cover a variety of topics, including but not limited to: OblivAeon Definitive Edition (still on Kickstarter!) Things Christopher and Paul said Playtesting Eyelids Where to wear a flower if you're one specific Endling Some fuchsia menace Names and more! Don't forget: get your werewolf questions in now! And share word far and wide about this last week of the Sentinels of the Multiverse: Definitive Edition Kickstarter Campaign!

A return to Disparation! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:34:54 It's been a long time since we did a Disparation episode, and man, it feels good to be back at it! In the words of our very own Trevor: Whoa, slow down there, Trevor! Praise of that caliber is likely to go to our heads! But before we can get into that, we've gotta goof around on a variety of topics, of course. But only for about 7 minutes! Then, we get into a bunch of backstory, some temporal positioning, and some issue number questing. And then! A story! A story in which motivations run deeper than we even initially realized! At just after the 48 minute mark, we get to your many questions. And heck, we almost answer all of them! More or less! Give or take! We talk very briefly about the cover seen above, as it ended up being a straight forward concept, but wow Adam knocked it out of the park again, right? Damn that looks cool. Join us this Friday for Editor's Note #45! For real! We mean it! We're really finally going to do that long lost Editor's Note! Nothing's gonna stop us now! Probably.

Time for a nice tall frosty one! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:33:19 We do some marketing goofs, at least partially inspired by Sentinels of the Multiverse: Definitive Edition currently on Kickstarter! But then! We get into telling the story of the issue, which we actually do in a very non-sequential/chronological way! The actual order of the stories in the issue is clear and unpackable, but we get a bit obtuse about it. But that ends up creating some moments that we're particularly proud of. Anyway, enjoy! After all that storytelling, we get into your questions, starting off with a historically long question from Liz C.! She gets to a lot of the good stuff, and yet we still take even more questions! And then we talk briefly about the cover, which can be seen above. Don't forget to check out Sentinels of the Multiverse: Definitive Edition on Kickstarter! And join us next week for our return to Disparation for the first time in a long time!

I promise that there will be at least one coonskin cap in this episode. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:46:46 Our timing was off! At the start of the episode, we claimed that the Kickstarter was already live, but we're backwards: the Kickstarter goes live one hour after this episode starts. So, if you started listening to this episode the moment it came out, you'd want to pause halfway through to go check out that Kickstarter! We'll add a link to the Kickstarter to the show notes below when it goes live. Adam and I have been looking forward to digging into these tales for a while, so we went into this one with a list of people we wanted to talk about, but not a lot of planning. On purpose! We wanted this creative process to be pretty transparent on the "process" side of things. Ended up with at least a couple very solid character ideas out of this, plus a slew of stories, especially from the earlier ages of Sentinel Comics. We're on the cusp of a big month here. Lots of fun episodes coming up, AND there's that Kickstarter! Speaking of which, this link will go to the Kickstarter campaign once it's live! Until next time, Sentinels!

Paul is back! Back again! Paul is back, Paul is back, Paul is back! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:18:51 We talk a lot about stabs. We're into stabs here. Upcoming schedule! Tuesday, April 6th: Episode #172: Writers' Room: A Day in the Life — Absolute Zero Tuesday, April 13th: Episode #173: Writers' Room: Disparation — Citizen Storm vs. The Primal Wardens Tuesday, April 20th: Editor's Note #45 (?!?!) Tuesday, April 27th: Episode #174: Classic Episode: xxtz'Hulissh So many questions! And also some game shows! What's not to like? Join us next time for an exciting Creative Process!

I hope you're wearing green today! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:30:36 Some goofs, but then, a story! Actually, no, then another set of goofs. And THEN a story. Lots of interesting stuff in this one. Building out a whole set of stuff that we've had floating around in the shadows but have never formalized. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Around 46 minutes in, we take some questions... and provide answers to them! As we mention on the air, this week's live show is on Thursday instead of Friday, and it's not Editor's Note #45. Of course it's not. We may never get to Editor's Note #45. We'll keep trying! But this Thursday's recording is an unexpected return of the Publishers' Note! Paul and Christopher will be live for our Patreon supporters at 11 AM, Central Time. If you have questions for the Publishers' note, but sure to submit them by end of day Wednesday! Thanks for listening!

People, places, and odds-and-ends! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:48:14 This is an interesting "creative process" episode, in that you get to see a slightly darker side of the creative process. Both Adam and I were feeling pretty rough at the time of recording, but we slogged on and made it happen. By the end, we feel like it turned out to be solid, but we wanted to be honest about our process here. After about 55 minutes of goofs, storytelling, and place-crafting, we get to your questions! Thanks for asking them! If you want to ask more questions, use our handy form! If you want to be part of the nonsense — especially during live shows — join our Patreon! So many options! Until next time!

Why must they fight? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:23:14 We talk about the weather! Gripping content, right? Then, we talk about Fanatic and NightMist! (Or at least we attempt to, after a few false starts and rabbit trails.) Not as interesting as the weather, but it'll have to do! Unsurprisingly, there were a few outstanding questions about each of these characters, which we get to in record time at around the 28 minute mark. Thanks for joining us!

Another tale: told! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:36:15 Back to the drawing writing board! We do some goofs, as per usual, then get into it. We set the story straight on Fashion — her appearances, her character changes, her disappearance, her reappearance... look, there's a lot. Then! We craft a tale! For you! After over half an hour of story making, we get to question answering! And then cover discussing, the results of which you can see above. Join us next time! JOIN US! JOIN US! JOIN US! JOIN US! JOIN US! JOIN US! JOIN US! JOIN US! JOIN US! JOIN US! JOIN US! JOIN US! JOIN US! JOIN US! JOIN US! JOIN US!

It's the longest Bullpen ever! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:10:18 Welcome to Chris Burton, AKA Braithwhite! Right at the top, we establish that we'll call him "Braithwhite" for the purposes of the episode, and then we all go on to call him a variety of names over the course of the following two hours. Enjoy the confusion! Here's the upcoming schedule! Tuesday, March 2nd: Episode #168 - Writers' Room: NightMist vs. Fanatic Tuesday, March 9th: Episode #169 - Creative Process: Hero HQs Tuesday, March 16th: Episode #170 - Writers' Room: Luck o' the Setback Tuesday, March 23rd: Editor's Note #45 (THE REAL RETURN! PROBABLY!) Tuesday, March 30th: Episode #171 - Creative Process: American Folklore After all that, we dive into questions all about Sentinels of the Multiverse: Definitive Edition! We hope that this giant pile of Qs and As answer all of the questions you could have about Definitive Edition! There are some reveals in here! Thanks for listening! If you want to be part of future live episodes, join us on the Letters Page Patreon. And if you have letters that you want us to read, submit them using this handy form! Catch you next time!

Delightful devices... with dangerous drawbacks! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:36:36 We goof a bit at the top, but we also talk about what the last week+ of news of/reactions to Sentinels of the Multiverse: Definitive Edition. Remember, this coming Friday, we're recording a Bullpen all about Definitive Edition, so get your questions in now! Just after the 5 minute mark, we delve into treats and tricks. At around 36 minutes in, we get distracted by watching a video. This is that video. Finally, we get to your questions at around the 57 minute mark. At the end, we descent into madness. Why? Blame it on the boogie! See you next time! If you're one of our Patreon supporters, join us this Friday for a LIVE Bullpen!

All new — all different! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:33:30 Here's the announcement! We talk about all that is Sentinels of the Multiverse: Definitive Edition! The people that worked on it, the contents of it, the updates to game design. There's even a Polygon article! There's more than we can cover in one episode... but that's why we're coming back in two weeks with another Bullpen! So, get your Definitive Edition questions in by the 18th and we'll answer them in this month's Bullpen! Join me for my Definitive Edition AMA on the GTG YouTube channel tomorrow, February 3rd, at 3:00 PM, Central Time! If you haven't yet, go check out the new GTG website! There are plans to overhaul the GTG forum and even this podcast page as well... but not yet! I'm told it'll be soon! But, "soon" relative to what scale? Who can say? Stay tuned!

Welcome to the Multiverse of Sentinel Comics! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:59:14 Hello, listener! This is (hopefully) a decent jumping-on episode. At least, it is in terms of content - Trevor (our producer) wants me to make sure it's clear that our audio quality used to be a ton better back before Adam and I were each recording in our own homes, and hopefully we'll be back in studio again before the end of this year. Blame the pandemic! Sorry about that. We follow the standard-ish format of a bit of goofing around, followed by the Overview (the meat and potatoes of the episode). After that, we eventually get to the questions at around an hour and 15.5 minutes in, which help flesh out even more of the story! In this episode, we have a notable SPOILER segment! If you don't want any spoilers for the "Off the Rails" adventure issue that was released at the same time as the SCRPG core rulebook, skip from 1:43:25 to 1:46:59! (I claimed that it would be over 5 minutes on the air, but I underestimated how quickly we talk sometimes.) How did it go? Did we succeed at a jumping on/overview episode? Do you have questions you want us to answer? Submit those questions here! "See" you next week!

Now with special guest Dave! Show Notes Run Time: 2:06:26 Our newest Bullpen yet! The secondest Bullpen we've ever done! What a delight. And having both Paul and Dave here not only made it a good time; it also made it a Bullpen. Here's the upcoming schedule: Tuesday, February 2nd: Episode #165: [REDACTED] Tuesday, February 9th: Episode #166: Creative Process: Ignazio Gallo's Treasure Trove Tuesday, February 16th: Editor's Note #45 (THE RETURN!) Tuesday, February 23rd: Episode #167: Writers' Room: Fashion After some intros, goofs, and talking about the schedule, we get into your questions - all about Sentinel Comics: The Roleplaying Game - at around the 5 minute mark. Thanks, everyone! We'll definitely do more SCRPG content as the products make their way into wider distribution.

First "normal" episode of the year! How normal, you ask? Not very at all, actually! Thanks for asking! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:31:34 Right off the bat, we get weird. Like really weird. Look. I'm sorry. OK? The goofs go ever on and on, down from the door where it began... But even we must finally talk about the actual topic of the day. We get into it at the 7 minute mark. There's a lot of storytelling. It's pretty OK. We seem to still remember how to do this. Whew! A bit before the 39 minute mark, we begin to address your questions, delightful as they are. Thanks for joining us! We hope you can join us this Friday for the live recording of this month's Bullpen, featuring Special Guest DAVE! (And Not Really All That Special In Comparison Guest Paul.)

Welcome to a new year! The only thing I can say about this, is that you should listen to it. It's... something else. Back to regular programming soon!

Surprise, surprise. We said there wasn't going to be an episode today, but that was the most obvious of lies, right? Show Notes: Run Time: 12:32 Happy Birthday to everyone mentioned, and to everyone else that had a birthday this year. Listen to our very 2020 song, and despair. This is what going mad sounds like. See you next year!

It's a new type of episode for the end of a very long year! Show Notes: 1:48:43 The biggest cast we've ever had! Including a surprise twist early on in the episode! Here's what happens in January of next year! Upcoming schedule: Tuesday, January 5th: Start of Year Break Tuesday, January 12th: Episode #163: Writers' Room: Ra and Setback Buddy-Cop Story Tuesday, January 19th: The Bullpen #2 (featuring Paul and DAVE!) Tuesday, January 26th: Episode #164: Creative Process: SCRPG Lore Crash Course After MUCH goofing around, we finally get into questions at just after the 19 minute mark, and we are all over the place on questions! Thanks for bearing with us. Thanks for joining us, everyone! We'll catch you next year!

Happy Holidays, everyone! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:32:52 Adam is back! Or, rather he will be starting next month! Except next month's schedule will feel similar to the last couple months because of beginning of the year reasons and having a packed Editor's Note! But forget about all that: ADAM IS BACK! Sort of! Whatever! Get excited! We are silly for about 7 minutes, and then we get into actually writersing this room, in which we continue to be silly. That said, given that this is a Haka story, who could have guessed that we'd start with an action-based story but then pull a switcheroo and make it about feelings and sadness? Would we do that? Who can say? After much storying and telling and a little crossover of both of those words, we get to your questions at around the 41 minute mark. At around an hour and 28 minutes, we talk very briefly about a cover. We know right away what it should be. Glimpse its glory above! Quite good. Join us this Friday for our year-ending live recording!

The FINAL Publishers' Note! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:29:11 We've got all the greatest Publishers' Note style hits: questions for Paul, getting into the weeds on Star Trek and Tolkien, Sentinel Comics lore, a variety of game shows, and a pile of Meta-Meta questions! What more could you ask for? Paul and I have had a blast noting publishery for you all. Thanks for sticking with us for this weird schedule. But we'll be back to normalish at the start of the year! For now, look forward to a holiday-themed episode next week, and then a bigger than usual Editor's Note the week after that!

Gather round, everyone. It's time for some real talk. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:33:39 We had a lot of fun recording this one. We learned some things - about PSAs, about comics, and about ourselves along the way. Remember, kids: there's always a moral to every story. At around 58 minutes into the episode, we finally get to your questions! There, we talk about the subject of this episode, but also! We talk about a fan-favorite new hero/old trendsetter/in between gladiator! Who could it be? No way to know. It's a mystery forever. Also, goodness, listening back to this episode, we're at our best/worst when we're just laughing at our own bad jokes. How can you people stand us? Thanks everyone for listening! This coming Friday, we record our last Publishers' Note, so make sure you tune in to wish Paul a fond-farewell as co-host! And don't forget: Make Good Choices!

The Penultimate Publishers' Note! Show Notes: Run time: 1:18:42 We start off with the what we'll talk about in December! Upcoming schedule: Tuesday, December 1st: Episode #161 - Creative Process: PSAs of the Multiverse Tuesday, December 8th: Publishers' Note #9 Tuesday, December 15th: Episode #162 - Writers' Room: A Haka Holiday Story Tuesday, December 22nd: Editors' Note #45 Tuesday, December 29th: End of Year Break Then we get into questions! Lots of fun topics, and more game shows than ever before! Thanks everyone for joining us! Get your questions in for the December episodes ASAP! We'll catch you...

The last episode of Spooky Month! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:30:48 We do some goofs for about four minutes, which doesn't sound like a long time... and yet. Four minutes can really drag on when it's just all goofs. Then! We tell a story! We craft it from whole cloth, live on the air! Certainly nothing obscured and no weird twists! Very straightforward beat-em-up tale here. Nothing to be afraid of... Just after the 36 minute mark, we get into your questions. Thanks for keeping up the flow of questions, listeners! We get so many wonderful questions, and we love seeing them all. Keep up the great work! Submit your questions here! If you're a Contributor on our Patreon, the voting for next month's episodes is up now! Go make your vote(s) count!

Paul and Christopher are a bit loopy, but that doesn't mean they can't answer questions! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:42:48 There's a pretty heavy-hitting topic right off the bat, even before the actual question section, but then we get into questions and never quite recover! Paul spends... a LOT of time talking about Star Trek. We hope you like Star Trek. Or at least hearing Paul talk about Star Trek. And there are TWO different game shows in this episode! Who would have guessed?! All in all, more silliness and also some potentially useful (though mostly useless) info was dispensed. Another successful Publishers' Note! If you have any questions for the next episode: "Writers' Room: NightMist vs Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde" make sure you get them in before this Friday, November 13th! Send them in using this handy form!

We make up some stuff! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:25:05 We goof around, as per usual, but then make up a few villains and even get into their stories a bit! At around 41 minutes in, we stop making stuff up, and start making up answers to your questions! Near the end of the episode, there's a question about how Adam's spouse feels about the version of Baron Blade from the Freedom Five board game, which is now on Kickstarter - go check it out! Here's what she thinks: In case you live in the USA and haven't voted yet and it's still the day this episode is released, go vote! It's important. Find out where and how you can vote here! Catch you all next time!

Paul and Christopher did a livestream, even though it got interrupted multiple times! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:29:28 In the voting for what Writers' Room we'd do, there was a tie! So, we cast the deciding vote. But clearly there's interest in the other topic as well, so it'll be back up for voting sometime, for certain! Here's the upcoming schedule! Tuesday, November 3rd: Episode #159 - Creative Process: Dark Watch Villiains Tuesday, November 10th: Publishers' Note #7 Tuesday, November 17th: Episode #160 - Writers' Room: NightMist vs Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde Tuesday, November 24th: Publishers' Note #8 Tune in for all sorts of nonsense! (Actually, probably only about eleven different sorts of nonsense, all told.) Check out the Letters Page Patreon to be join in on these Publishers and Editors livestreams! Also, submit your questions with this handy form!

It's such a spooky time! Not as spooky as next month, mind you, but spooky enough to tell a tale of BLOOD! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:49:58 Adam and I goof around for several minutes before finally getting into the sweet meat and sweet potatoes of the episode, at around the 5 minute mark. We craft a thrilling tale! Neither of us knew where this would end up when we started, and you can hear us double back and rework the story as we go. Twists and turns abound! But, all told, we're pretty pleased with how it turned out. And not without future costs for both protagonist and antagonist alike! At around the 53 minute mark, we start in on your questions, both related to Blood Countess and the Court of Blood, as well as a healthy crop of questions on the Phoenix! By popular demand! At the end of the episode, we take only a minute or so on the cover before wrapping things up. It's nice when something comes together so neatly. Thanks for listening, everyone! This Friday will be another Publishers' Note, featuring the return of Paul! If you have questions for him, or for me and Adam on pretty much any topic, send us your questions using this handy form! Also, the Freedom Five board game is LIVE NOW on Kickstarter! We'll talk more about it over the next few weeks on various Letters Page episodes, especially this upcoming Publishers' Note. But you don't have to take our word for it - go check it out! Catch you next time!

It's your favorite Paul and your second favorite Christopher! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:07:16 We talk about a bunch of things in a variety of topics, including a new name for the questions section that we finish off with. What will that name be?! Listen to find out! Get your Court of Blood and Blood Countess Bathory questions in before Friday morning to have them considered for this Friday's recording of next Tuesday's Writer's Room episode! Use this handy form to send in your questions!

We're gonna bring the flavor, show you how! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:49:10 We just kept going on this one. Probably would have continued, but time was - and is - of the essence. The essence of what? Well, let us keep SOME of our secrets, dear listeners. After a few minutes of banter, we get into adding people to Fanatic's story. Not all of them are sad stories! Not ALL of them. A bit after the 1 hour and 12 minute mark, we answer the letters you've written to us! Including a bunch of old letters that have languished in our dreaded inbox for far too long! Join us this Friday for another livestreamed Publishers' Note, if you're on the Patreon. If you're not a Letters Page Patreon supporter, totally cool - we understand. Our self esteem is definitely not just based on our listenership. We're individual people with our own stuff going on. Really. Anyway, if you don't love us that way, NBD - you'll get that Publishers' Note in audio form next Tuesday!

Paul and Christopher talk about the weather! And some other stuff too, I guess! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:31:39 Here's the upcoming schedule! Tuesday, October 6th: Episode #157 - Creative Process: Fanatic Supporting Cast Tuesday, October 13th: Publishers' Note #5 Tuesday, October 20th: Episode #158 - Writers' Room: Blood Countess Bathory Tuesday, October 27th: Publishers' Note #6 Also, we answer questions about all sorts of things, talk about a bunch of Sentinels Lore - including a Sentinel Comics recap from Paul's point of view - and a series of Andy questions! Check out the Letters Page Patreon to be a supporter and join in on these Publishers and Editors livestreams! Also, submit your questions using our handy form!

Let's. Get. 90s. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:30:04 Adam and I missed each other so much. We haven't seen each other in so long. We almost died. Witness our heartwrenching reunion. After only a few minutes of goofs, we get to the overview where we do a bunch of work of a variety of sorts! Positioning, informing, redacting, problem solving, creating, naming, storytelling, and more! And we go through it pretty quickly, considering how much we make! You never know how long we're going to linger on any one thing. A bit before the 39 minute mark, we dig into your questions on a variety of related (and barely related) topics. And after about 40+ minutes of that, we talk briefly about the cover, which can be seen above! Thanks everyone for listening!

We're back! Paul is back! Excitement! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:30:34 There's plenty of nonsense in this one - fear not - but we also get the start of GTG from Paul's perspective, and even get into Sentinel Comics lore content... including some MASSIVE Sentinel Comics future preview spoilers! Questions are asked, answered, and more! If you want to submit questions for Christopher, Adam, and/or Paul, use our handy question submission form!

A bunch of new foes, coming at you RA and unfiltered! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:47:15 Adam is back this week, so let's make some Sentinel Comics content! We do some chats and some goofs, tell you about Adam's new drawing tablet, talk about the state of existence and how overwhelming the world is... and then finally get into actually doing our job here at around 9 minutes in. We make a few fun foes, each with their own ups and downs. You haven't seen the last of any of these jerks! At around 52 minutes in, we get to your questions, answering questions about Ra, some of his foes, his boat, and also Legacy, and also also The Argent Adept Soothsayer Carmichael. Thanks for listening! As always, if you have any questions for us, submit them here!

Paul is back! Get hype! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:13:07 We goof about, talk about Trevor, tell some stories, and then get to questions! Paul and I answer questions about: Bending Alternate European history of Spirit Island Regrets? Lies St. Louis GTG plans Drinking songs Sentinel Comics Lore Questions from chat Edutainment RPGs Andy Questions and more!

Hey, friends! Adam's back, and he did an AWESOME cover! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:20:44 It's good to be back recording together again. It feels like it's been a long time, even though it's only been a week away from each other. After only a reasonable amount of goofs, we get right down to the brassiest of tacks. We start overviewing around 4 minutes in. At the 40 minute mark, we get to your questions! We take questions on the topic at hand (or, rather, at fist), and we also some K.N.Y.F.E. questions, as well! In the overview and question sections, we address some pretty heavy things. Unsurprisingly, writing a 70s comic about a black hero based on blaxploitation tropes would have been weighty in the 70s, and it's definitely still a rousing topic today. We want to make one thing clear here: black lives matter. If you feel like "all lives matter" is a fair statement, it's important to note that only when black lives matter will all lives matter. Nothing we say in this strange, performance art podcast where we tell real stories about fake comics should take anything away from that truth. We trust our listenership to understand that. Finally, at about an hour and 17 minutes in, we talk a bit about the cover. But you've likely already seen it above in the show notes! Oh, and Adam sent me a photo of his pan and spatula that he uses for making eggs. Here it is: Don't mind the ghost hand in the lower left corner. Adam's house might be haunted, but at least those ghosts love his eggs! Don't forget to check out the Letters Page Patreon! And, if you want to send in any questions, use our handy form! Catch you next time!

Paul is here! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:15:10 We start off with some... non-technical difficulties. After that, some goofs, some introductions, and more goofs, we talk about voting for episodes in September. Upcoming schedule: Tuesday, September 1st: Publishers' Note #2 Tuesday, September 8th: Episode #155 - Creative Process: Ra Villains Tuesday, September 15th: Publishers' Note #3 Tuesday, September 22nd: Episode #156 - Writers' Room: An issue of Terminal Ballistics, ft. Setback & Expatriette Tuesday, September 29th: Publishers' Note #4 Then, finally, around the 22 minute mark, we get to your questions. Featuring a brand new song from Trevor!!! Our plan was to read a bunch of letters from listeners and then also take questions from the chat. Instead, we got through a few letters, and then the multitude of questions from the chat overwhelmed us and we gave up on letters for this week, just to get through all the chat questions. Which ended up being great! Around the 55 minutes in, ThePayneTrayn asks a question in the chat about brewing beer, which is a topic Paul has a lot of experience and knowledge on. Paul describes an all-rye ale that he has brewed, which was met with demands for the recipe. Here is that recipe, from Paul himself! 6lb malted rye 1lb medium crystal malt Starch conversion with 2.25gal h2o at 148F for 2 hours Mash out at 170F. Sparge with 3 gal h2o Bring to a boil. Add 1oz Holdings hops. Boil 45 min. Add 0.5oz Bramling hops. Boil 15 minutes. Add 0.5oz Bramling hops. Ferment with Wyeast 1968 London ESB yeast Finally, we mentioned that next Publishers' Note will be a great time to ask Paul questions about his involvement in Spirit Island lore. If you have questions for Paul (or for Christopher and Adam), use our handy question submission form! See you next time!

Good morning, heroes! Let's talk about Legacy's friends! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:30:44 Adam and I are here to talk about the character that you, dear listeners, demanded we bring up again. You can't say we never gave you anything! We're just here to act on the will of the people. Simple public servants, that's us. We talk about some minor characters, but also some that have more impact than expected on Legacy's story. Which Legacy? Well, we get into that, too! A bit after the 39 minute mark, we dig into your questions, which are many and excellent. This Friday is the first recording of the first ever "Publishers' Note" of the Letters Page podcast, starring our very own Paul Bender! You'll be able to hear that episode in audio form next Tuesday, but if you're on the Letters Page Patreon, you can watch it happen live! And, if you're a Contributor to the Patreon, your questions will be a part of this new, experimental episode! What will happen? Who can say! Join us! (Oh, also, extra props to Trevor for the new outro! What do you think of it?)

We did a Gen Con live! Sort of! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:47:42 Right off the bat, I engage in an entirely visual goof, which doesn't work terribly well as radio... Fortunately, you can watch the video here! Trevor made some very special versions of the songs used in this song, including cool videos! Worth watching. We goof around a standard amount, taking roughly 7 minutes of episode time to do so, and then we take questions of all sorts, ranging so far and wide as to be impossible to properly represent here. What sorts of things do we talk about? You'll have to listen to find out! Friday of this week, Adam and I are recording the "Legacy Supporting Cast" episode that you all wanted so badly. Totally a thing you demanded and not a thing we made happen. *innocent whistling* ANYWAY, get your Legacy questions in, now!

Let's make some magical friends! (Spoiler: most of these people are not magical, and many of them are not friends, either.) Show Notes: Run Time: 1:25:50 We goof around for a few minutes, and then get down to the business of making friends for a hard-to-be-friends-with hero! At around 38 minutes in, we get to your questions, on a variety of topics. This coming Friday is our recording of the Gen Con live recording! It'll be live on our YouTube channel, with the link posted on our Patreon. Please join us at 11 AM, Central Time!

Big announcements in this one! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:00:43 Upcoming schedule: Tuesday, August 4th: Gen Con 2021 Live! (Different Than Ever Before!) Tuesday, August 11th: Episode #153 - Creative Process: Legacy Supporting Cast Tuesday, August 18th: Publishers' Note #1: Christopher & Paul! Tuesday, August 25th: Episode #154 - Writers' Room: Black Fist The recordings of each of those episodes will be on the Friday before that Tuesday. No calendar this time, but we trust in your ability to figure out what Fridays come before the above listed Tuesdays. We talk about a bunch of things in this episode (besides our blatant campaigning during the most recent voting and the reveal of the upcoming Publishers' Notes with me and Paul!), including but not limited to: OblivAeon Critics The Time-Crazed Prisoner Setback Villains Baron Blade Poker Kismet Miss Information Naturalist's supporting cast friends Relics Fanatic NightMist Legacy Pizza And more! Catch you next time!

Let's go to SPAAAAACE! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:17:13 We start off by some questionable poll campaigning. If you're on the Letters Page Patreon, let us try to convince you that the Legacy Supporting Cast episode needs more votes than all other episodes! Why? For reasons we'll reveal this Friday! Then, at around 5 minutes in, we actually start in on the overview. We do some storytelling, including digging into a limited series we've only ever talked about once before, back in the olden days. We craft a story with a bunch of new names and events and bugs and a new metal? And a spaceship?! Lots going on here. Finally, we get to your questions at around the 40 minute mark. If you're on the Letters Page Patreon, join us this Friday for a live Editor's Note recording! We hope to see you then!

Let's get pet-riotic! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:33:13 We ramble a bit at the start about what we'll be doing in about a month for this year's very different Gen Con live episode, and then we talk about the nature of today's episode. Then, finally, only 6ish minutes in, we actually dive in. (And end up having a great time! Spoilers, I guess.) You can tell we've been recording too long a little after the 1 hour mark, as we both unintentionally drop some swears. Trevor cleans up after us. Thank you/sorry, Trevor! We finally break from making up pets stories at around the 1 hour and 5 minute mark and answer your questions. Catch you next week for a K.N.Y.F.E. in space story! Get your questions in now!
