The Letters Page

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 enjoy reading your letters and answering your questions - send us your questions using this nifty form! Catch you next time!

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!

Let's get super ultra kawaii!! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:46:06 So, we get into the meta-topic right off the bat, and Adam has to explain a bunch of stuff to me because I'm just not as familiar with the medium. Which, turns out to be fine, because I'm familiar enough with the tropes to make the story happen! But, I'm getting ahead of myself. For that, you'll have to listen to the overview, which starts just before 14 minutes into the episode. (But before that, we go on about some of our favorite anime movies and TV shows.) The overview section is all over the place. We have to figure out where this story lands in Sentinel Comics history, what kind of story we're telling, who it's about, surprise ourselves with who the main characters are... it's a lot. But! We make it work, and are pleased with how it turns out. At a bit before the 1 hour and 4 minute mark, we get to your questions! They are many, and not just about today's topic - we also talk about some aliens. Just because. At 1 hour and 38ish minutes in, we talk a bit about the cover, which you can see above. Next episode will be a Creative Process all about pets in Sentinel Comics! How's that going to go? Only time will tell!

Another Editor's Note, live from the internet! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:32:44 Here's the upcoming schedule! Tuesday, July 7th: Episode #150 - Creative Process: July 4th Pet Special Tuesday, July 14th: Episode #151 - Writers' Room: Headhunter K.N.Y.F.E. Tuesday, July 21st: Editor's Note #44 Tuesday, July 28th: Episode #152 - Creative Process: Argent Adept's Supporting Cast Have I gotten to the office to update the calendar yet? Well, if there's a calendar pictured below, then yes! Otherwise, no, I haven't done it yet. Which one is it? Only you can know! In this episode, we cover a variety of topics, including: Lingering OblivAeon questions Realities Metaphysical nonsense Scions The recently announced Freedom Five game! Here's a trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BixbAt7-iE Here's a website: https://www.freedomfivegame.com/ More info coming soon! RPG character questions Legacy The Telenovelaverse Ansel G. Moreau And more! Catch you next time!

We're all over the place on this one! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:47:38 This episode took us longer to record than anything else we've made in... a long time. We got started started around 11 AM and didn't finish until 4 PM. Whew! Anyway, enjoy these additions to the world of Sentinel Comics! Do these characters seem not much for you? Well, yeah, that's why they never really took off - D-List all the way! At around the 57 minute mark, we finally get to questions. We answer questions about D-List heroes, but also about various Thorathian topics, just because there were a lot of them in the backlog. We hope to see you Friday at 11 AM (Central Time) for a LIVE Editor's Note! Want to watch it live and even take part? Join our Patreon!

Let's talk about Tyler Vance! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:10:06 We craft three stories, possibly in record time? We were shocked at how well it went, honestly. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do! After speedy storytelling, we get into your questions just after the 29 minute mark. We talk about the cover - which you can see above - at about 1 hour and 2 minutes in. Adam went all in on the Barry Windsor-Smith style! If you're a contributor to the Letters Page Patreon, voting is up now! Go tell us what to do! If you're not on the Letters Page Patreon, maybe today is the day? Only you can decide! Catch y'all next time!

Adam's birth month is over! There will be feasting and dancing in May next year! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:15:31 After some birth month/day talk, we get into the overview a couple minutes in, where we first attempt to clear up some misconceptions, which devolves into a conversation not at all pertinent to the world of Sentinel Comics. Then, we once again go into too many issues for a single Writers' Room episode, but not as bad as other recent episodes. We just have a penchant for writing in arcs. At a bit before the 38 minute mark, we get to your delightful questions! And then, at just before the 1 hour and 10 minute mark, we talk very briefly about the cover, which you can see above. If you're a contributor to the Letters Page Patreon, the topic submission form for this month went live yesterday! Let us know who you want us to talk about! We're settling into the new way things work here, and we're excited to create even more stories for you.

One issue? In this economy? Nah, let's do a bunch of issues! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:30:52 For whatever reason, we felt like being overachievers today. Enjoy more than one issue! Also, we get to talk not just action, but also intrigue... and politics! Maerynian politics, that is. We get to your questions just after the 45 minute mark. Questions today brought to you by Zap Dragon, who I just recently found out is also Ehkrickor! Spoilers, I guess. This is the last episode that will be released in Adam's birth month this year! However, the next episode we record will be recorded still in his birth month, so the celebration isn't quite over yet! Looking forward to next time, in which we create more issues!

A long Editors Note mostly about Sentinel Comics: the Roleplaying Game! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:11:38 Adam's birth month continues! Also, we just released the preview of the SCRPG core rulebook to the Kickstarter backers last week, so we celebrated with an episode with SO MANY questions about the game! Here's the upcoming schedule: Tuesday, June 2nd: Episode #146 - Writers' Room: Citizens Hammer & Anvil Tuesday, June 9th: Episode #147 - Writers' Room: Day in the Life: Bunker Tuesday, June 16th: Episode #148 - Creative Process: D-List Heroes Tuesday, June 23rd: Editor's Note #43 Tuesday, June 30th: Episode #149 - Writers' Room: Disparation: Anime/Manga Catch you next time!

It's time for another episode! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:11:50 Ready to learn about a 90s event we've never talked about before? We had a lot of fun with this one - we hope you do, too! After about 40 minutes of crafting and telling this story (in more parts than we intended), we get to your questions. And only a few minutes into the question section, I get to read a couple big reveals for upcoming stuff! Exciting times, these. At just before the 1 hour and 3 minute mark, we do the "cover" section, which also breaks down the order of the parts of the Strike Force Invasion event. We hope you can join us Friday for a live recording of Editor's Note #42!

Cosmic? Yeah! What's more cosmic than a lady that makes robots with her brain and her best friend, a robot that she didn't make with her brain? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:29:07 This is the first episode of Adam's birth month. If you're not into birth month celebrations for Adam... well, I've got bad news for you. That's what May is going to be. He likes a big to do about the whole thing, and I like humoring him. So there. We talk about that (and a few other things, but mostly the birth month stuff) for about 4 minutes, and then we hit the ground running! This one is a lot of fun to see come together live, as we didn't know at all where it would go - the cosmic thing really threw a curveball into any of our prior thoughts, but it turned out great! At least, we like it. We hope you do, too! Just after 44 minutes in, we dig into your piles of delightful questions. Thank you for your multitudinous queries! A bit after the 1 hour and 24 minute mark, we talk briefly about the cover! Thanks for listening! Catch you next time! Celebrate for Adam!

Let's envision some friends! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:19:11 We're both settling into this new way of life more and are feeling way better, thanks for asking! As a result, we've got a real downer of a supporting cast episode, just so you know. We spend barely over one minute with banter and intro and just get right into it! And we create some stuff of various levels of good and bad feeling. Around 37 minutes in, we get to your questions! And what a delightful parcel of questions they are. Good stuff explored in the question section today. Join us next time, as we kick off Adam's birth month!

Our first remote live editor's note! The audio quality is better than we feared it would be, but it's still not up to Trevor-approved-quality! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:13:00 Christopher's doing pretty well, but Adam's spiraling into chaos. If nothing else, this means that the more things change, the more they stay - in some small ways - the same. Next month is May, which means it's Adam's birth-month! Celebrate! Here's the schedule for the month of partying: Tuesday, May 5th: Episode #143 - Writers' Room: Unity and Omnitron (X or U) Tuesday, May 12th: Episode #144 - Writers' Room: post-Bloodsworn Sky-Scraper Tuesday, May 19th: Editor's Note #42 Tuesday, May 26th: Episode #145 - Writers' Room: Leviathan Here's a calendar! We talked about a bunch of things this Editor's Note, including but not limited to: OblivAeon, of course Meta-Meta-Meta-Meta-Meta-Meta... The Sentinels of Freedom video game, now on Steam! Go check it out! Absolute Zero Degenerate Schema Romance. Around the 41 minute mark, Amelia Ryans in the live chat made a Tinder profile for Absolute Zero. Here it is: Theories of How the Multiverse Works Sentinel Comics in other properties Todd Lito Parse in Rook City Un-super heroes Fake comic book backstory organization methods and more! Get your questions in for those upcoming topics! And thank you to all of our Patreon supporters - we do this for YOU!

A story of a new standard! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:31:46 Adam and I are both rather stir crazy already, but we're excited to be talking about Sentinel Comics! A lot going on here. We banter a bit, but then dig into justifying Benchmark's backstory against issue numbers. We solve everything, and there are no more problems. Everything is fine. Oh, and also do a bit of thinking on morality/human nature. Finally, we get into crafting and telling the story of the issue just after 14 minutes in. We get to your questions at just before the 40 minute mark. We answer a lot of questions, not just about Benchmark, but also about Chrono-Ranger! And, finally, we talk about the cover around 1 hour and 26 minutes in. Thanks for listening! If you're on the Patreon, join us on Friday at 11 AM, Central time for the first live Editor's Note done entirely over the internet!

April will make a fool out of all of us! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:30:04 This episode is the first one we've ever recorded remotely! If you can tell right away, apologies for the drop in audio quality. We'd much rather record in person, but the health and safety of Adam's family and Christopher's cat are too important to sacrifice. If you can't detect a notable drop in quality, that's because Trevor is an AV wizard! As a result of not recording using our usual setup, we aren't able to pause recording really, so these episodes are much more "uncut". Trevor still edits them quite a bit, but we attempt to push through and do as much "live" as possible. Does that make for a better listening experience? Heck, we don't know - we've never done this before! We talk a bit about social distancing and other current events for a bit, get to work around 8 minutes in, get to your questions a little bit after the 45 minute mark, and then talk about the cover for a few minutes starting just before the 1 hour and 19 minute mark before calling it a day. All in all, a worthwhile Friday afternoon, that we now deliver to you on a Tuesday! We look forward to unveiling more of the Multiverse for you soon!

Some frigid foes! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:33:59 Minimal goofs, mostly due to existential dread. Tough times, these. Here's the image we discussed early on in the overview segment: Did you make this? If you're the one who made this, let us know! Good job. We'd love to give you credit for your good work. We hope you're all getting plenty of social distancing! Join us next month for more shelter in place and talk about Sentinel Comics!

We did this one LIVE! For everyone! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:37:15 We had a great time with this one, even in these trying times. You can watch it here! Upcoming schedule: Tuesday, April 7th: Episode #140 - Writers' Room: Miss Information's April Fools Tuesday, April 14th: Episode #141 - Writers' Room: A pre-OblivAeon Benchmark story Tuesday, April 21st: Editor's Note #41 Tuesday, April 28th: Episode #142 - Creative Process: The Visionary Supporting Cast And here's a calendar! Stay healthy and safe out there, everyone!

Hello, friends! Or foes?! Who can tell?!?! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:12:49 So, this episode is the hero/villain team-up episode. We didn't NOT succeed at that... but you'll have to listen to find out what happens. It's certainly an attempt at the given topic! We make up for it by talking about a bunch more comics than just one, if that's any consolation to you. This Friday, March 20th, is our LIVE Editor's Note recording! If you're on the Letters Page Patreon, please come join in at 11 AM, Central! We'll be in the Discord as well to take your questions. And, if you're a Contributor on the Patreon, the voting is up now for next month's episodes! Go vote! Voting is important!

Chrono-Ranger in Feudal Japan! Show Notes: Run Time: 58:28 Under an hour?! An episode that doesn't break the hour mark?!?! It's true. We only had two questions for this episode, so the questions section is much shorter than usual. Not to fear, though - we've already been amassing questions for the next couple episodes, and there are lots. This one just happened to be a bit more on the quiet side. We get to the overview portion in which we establish the type of story, determine when it lands, and then craft and tell the tale, starting a bit before the 4 minute mark. That process takes us more than half of the episode, so we get to questions after 38 minutes in. Then, only several minutes later, we talk about the cover right after the 51 minute mark. And that's the show! Thanks everyone for listening! Don't forget, if you're on the Letters Page Patreon, you can join us for a live show on March 20th! And if you're not on the Letters Page Patreon... well, you could be!

We have been wrong in the past about the Naturalist, but not today! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:20:47 We get into a LOT on this one! We just sort of hit the ground running, and keep up the pace for quite a while! For those of you who like timestamps, we get to the overview around 5 and a half minutes in, the question section just before the 35 minute mark, and finally button things up around an hour and 14 minutes in. A couple minutes after that, we can't remember how the link to our Patreon is spelled. You can find the answer here! Thanks for listening, everyone! When the next episode goes live, I'll be in international waters doing my best to avoid that COVID-19, but I'll be back the week after that for a live show! See you then!

Parse gets murdery! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:26:31 To be fair, Parse started out very murdery, and then mellowed over time. Today, we tell one of those early stories, and we do not hold back! Slight content warning on this one for (audio discussion of) graphic violence, as well as some drugs (not really drugs used, though - just drugs being generally around). Also, she's a jerk. Just so you know. Forewarned is forearmed, and with the amount Parse uses that bow, she's gotta have great forearms, right? At around the 47 minute mark, we get into questions. You asked them - we answer them! We talk a bit about the cover just after 1 hour and 16 minutes in, though you likely have already seen the cover by now. It's in these show notes! Thanks everyone for listening! We're getting close to March, in which the recording and episode release schedule starts to get more normal. Thanks for bearing with us!

Adam's back! I'm excited. Are you excited? You should be. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:30:22 I'd say we spend a lot of time goofing around, but let's be real: Adam and I only see each other once a week these days, so there's a LOT of goofing to be done. Gotta get it all out of our systems! Here's the upcoming schedule! Tuesday, March 3rd: Episode #136 - Creative Process: Naturalist supporting cast Tuesday, March 10th: Episode #137 - Writer's Room: Chrono-Ranger in Feudal Japan Tuesday, March 17th: Episode #138 - Writer's Room: Hero/Villain team-up Tuesday, March 24th: Editor's Note #40 Tuesday, March 31st: Episode #139 - Creative Process: Absolute Zero's villains And who doesn't love a photo of a calendar? That big red stripe on the calendar is when I'm out of town in March, so we're making up with a recording on the first Thursday, and then we're back on schedule in real time with March's Editor's Note. No more being a week ahead of schedule for us! We field a lot of questions on a lot of topics! Such as: OblivAeon Sentinel Comics: the Roleplaying Game Fanatic Valentimes Sunglasses Totally Real Medical Science and more! Thanks for listening, everyone! We hope you like us as much as we like you!

A familiar team, yet one that never was! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:06:35 We do another early Disparation story! These are always fun. Just a note on Letters Page timeline: we're pretty much back on our regular schedule but the episode numbering is one behind since we interjected with last week's non-standard episode. As a result, the first episode for March will be what was going to be the last February episode. We'll still have voting and Editor's Notes as usual, and we're still a week ahead on recording time, just in case Adam has to pull away for a week for baby reasons, which is not entirely unlikely. We shall see! Catch you next time!

WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING Show Notes: Run Time: 40:06 This isn't a real episode! I mean, it has all of the elements you'd expect: an overview, a questions section, and even some things from the past that you might not expect! However, it's missing a major key part that makes Letters Page episodes possible. You'll just have to listen to find out. More notes? Nah, no more notes. Take a listen. It's a fun time.

You didn't request an episode about the death of Legacy, but here we are! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:19:54 As per the topic, we tell a story about a villain vs a villain, but with unexpected twists! We get to the Overview just after 10 minutes in, questions at the 38 minute mark, and talk about the above cover at around 1 hour and 14 minutes. Note: the last question we answer is one of the best questions with one of the best answer, and also this is one of my favorite covers that Adam has ever done. Catch you next time!

NightMist: "Harry" Setback: "Slim" Expatriette: "Fixer" Harpy: "Mr. Walker" Chairman: "Old Man" We're here to help!

We're finally back! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:08:32 We're here in the future! And we're going to talk about the past! A not-too-distant but very different past! We tell a tale out of the Inversiverse, and things get twisty! We finally start in with overviewing and storytelling around four and a half minutes in. After all that noodling, we finally get to your questions at the 47 minute mark. If you're on the Letters Page Patreon, join us this coming Friday for our anniversary live show! We didn't intend for it to be specifically an anniversary live show, but it turns out that we're doing that recording on the same date that we launched our first episode in 2017! So long ago! No one was alive then! Thanks, everyone!

Welcome to a new year-- a new century!! Show Notes: Run Time: 6:24 Just a quick hello to usher in a new year. Thanks for making this show possible!

Hey, everyone! We said there was no episode this week, but hopefully you've learned that you can't trust us by now! Show Notes: Run Time: 20:25 We talk about this year, answer some questions, and perhaps more? (No, not really anything more than that.) See you next year, everyone!

It's Christmas Eve! Let's talk about an avenging angel with absolutely no chill whatsoever. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:20:50 We talk a bit about Christmas, and then, about 4 minutes in, we get to work! We expected this one to be tough, but it turns out that we were visited by the ghost of Sentinel Comics past, and they did the work for us! Just after the 53 minute mark, we start in on your questions. At just before an hour and 15 minutes in, we talk a bit about the cover, which is shown above. Happy Holidays, everyone! See you all next year!

It's the Holiday times! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:35:49 We had a pile of technical difficulties, but we still made it work! Thanks to Trevor for cleaning up everything with his fancy editing. Here's the upcoming schedule: Tuesday, January 7rd: Beginning of the year: no episode Tuesday, January 14th: Episode #132 - Writers' Room: Disparation: Inversiverse Tuesday, January 21th: Editor's Note #38 Tuesday, January 28th: Episode #133 - Writers' Room: Villain vs Villain We also had a pile of questions!

Catch you next time! EDIT: As mentioned in the show, Adam asks his SCRPG players three questions at the start of a campaign: What is your secret reason for becoming a hero? What do you stand to lose because of your double life? What would you kill for?

We accidentally got over ambitious with this one! Behold: Two covers! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:17:59 We just got back from PAX Unplugged, but we recorded this right before we left! We goofed around for a few minutes, but after only about 4 minutes of goofs, we got right to business! We craft enough framing for a story that we end up doing both parts 1 and 2 in one episode! So speedy! Around the 50 minute mark, we get into your questions. At about an hour and 10 minutes in, we talk a bit about the covers, both of which can be seen above! This episode is released on Tuesday, December 10th. This Friday, December 13th, we'll be recording a live Editor's Note at 11 AM Central time! So, if you're on The Letters Page Patreon, you can watch and potentially even join in! We hope to see you there!

The Eeeeeeeennnnnnclave of the Eeeennnnddddlliiiiiiiiiinnggsss!!! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:09:53 We recorded this episode the day before Thanksgiving, but now it's the week after Thanksgiving! How does time even work? We talk about a bunch of space stuff, to the point of even crafting and telling multiple tales, due to the anthology nature of the Cosmic Tales book at this point. Around 32 minutes in, we get to your questions! The day after this episode releases, we're recording another episode on a Wednesday - two weeks in a row! Amazing! This one is happening because we're about to be in Philadelphia for PAX Unplugged, so if you're around there, come find us! Catch you next time!

Good morning, everyone! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:28:14 We banter about RPG stuff, then get into a series of conversations about just what comic book we're talking about today. You already know, due to the name of the episode and also the nifty cover art above! We have a blast putting together all the building blocks, telling the story, answering your question, and discussing the cover. We hope you enjoy it, too!

Catch you next time!

Time for a very animated episode! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:38:51 In this episode, we start off by talking a bit about the previous animated series stuff, as it's all quite excellent. Seriously, go listen to those other animated series episodes - they're great. Then, after about four and a half minutes of banter, we get into this latest phase of animated shows: four shows (including one entirely new show) and two movies! That takes us... a while. Finally, we get to your questions right around the one hour and eighteen minute mark. Thank you for the great questions, everyone! The week this episode comes out will feature a live Editor's Note recording at 11 AM Central Time this coming Friday, November 15th! We hope to catch you then!

Let's get EXTREME! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:31:11 This one is about Citizen Dawn in the Extremeverse! We don't know where it's going when we start, but it ends up in a REALLY awesome place. Go figure. Like, how did we start with the seed of "Citizen Dawn" and get to that cover above? Only one way to find out! We're throwing the horns for Trevor, who did a badass job editing this one. He always does great, but he brought the noise on this one. (In this case, "brought the noise" is a good thing.) Thanks for listening, everyone!
