Let's get Monstrous and Magical? Who are we kidding - we're always monstrous and magical. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:18:43 We start out assuming we've already covered all the monsters and magics... but we prove that untrue quite swiftly. But then! Your questions are what unlock even MORE great content! We start in on those questions just after the 30 minute mark. Thanks everyone for listening to these spooky but not too spooky episodes - but don't you fret: November is right around the corner! We're recording two episodes this week - tomorrow is a Disparation episode about the Extremeverse and Friday we're recording a Creative Process episode about the Animated Series, Phase 3. So, get your questions in for those episodes ASAP!

Good morning, friends! Show Notes: Run time: 1:20:52 Another silly live show with a wide variety of topics! Upcoming schedule: Tuesday, November 5th: Episode #126 - Writers' Room - Disparation (Extremeverse!) Tuesday, November 12th: Episode #127 - Creative Process - Animated Series Phase 3 Tuesday, November 19th: Editor's Note #36 Tuesday, November 26th: Episode #128 - Writers' Room - Void Guard in Bloodsworn Colosseum And here's a calendar! Do note that the recording times are all over the place for this coming month. We're both traveling for various reasons in November, so we're fitting the recordings in where we can! So, get your questions in ASAP! We talked about lots of things, like: OblivAeon Sentinel Comics: The Roleplaying Game Logic Puzzle Questions Minions and Henchlings Meta Stuff Birthday Songs And So Much More! Catch you next time!

We unleash your greatest fear! A podcast! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:15:31 We explore phobias! Fears! Both irrational and otherwise! We also end up bridging over into a "Writers' Room" style episode, accidentally. Sorry about that. We just felt like creating, I guess? It worked out, but this episode is all over the place. Scary! We'll be doing the live Editor's Note on Wednesday this week, the day after this episode goes live, so if you're on The Letters Page Patreon, join us for the live recording! Thanks for listening, everyone!

Let's go into another version of reality! Again! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:15:37 We're excited to do another Disparation story, even though we don't know which one! Let's figure that out, together! No spoilers, but here are the various timestamps where stuff kicks off: Overview: 2:55 Recap: 40:20 Questions: 48:00 Cover Discussion: 1:09:45 Thanks for listening, everyone! Since this is a rare five Tuesday month, we'll have another episode before the Editor's Note, so look forward to that next Tuesday, and then the live recording will happen next Wednesday! Exciting times here in spoooOOOoooky OctoooOOOooober!

It's the first creepy episode of the second most creepy month: October! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:12:50 After confessing our sins, we get to our creative process overview at around the 6 minute mark. And we are on fire! (At least, in our humble opinions.) Apparently, we should create in the face of adversity more often! One successful creation segment later, we get to your questions, at just before the 50 minute mark. Thank you for your questions! Also, thanks for listening! Don't forget to have a spooky month! (But not as spooky as next month!)

We talk about the bad guys who work for the bad guys... and also some deep philosophical topics? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:40:05 Good morning, everyone! After a very short amount of banter, we go to an overview only two and a half minutes into the show. There, we go through most every major villain and how they use minions, if at all, who those minions are, and more! This process ends up taking a while, and we have a fun time of it, all told. We hope you do, too! Then, just before the one hour and 3 minute mark, we get into your questions! We hope that we answer all questions to your satisfaction. Don't send your minions after us! Catch us next time for another Creative Process episode, this one all about Count Barzakh. What's his place in the history of Sentinel Comics? Join us as we figure that out together! If you want input on what topics are considered, voting on the final topic line-up for each month, and being part of our monthly live Editor's Notes, you can join us on the Letters Page Patreon! It's pretty great! Keep on henching!

We do the monthly live talking about everything thing! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:25:51 The votes are in! What's happening in October? Upcoming schedule: Tuesday, October 1st: Episode #122 - Creative Process - Count Barzakh Tuesday, October 8th: Episode #123 - Writers' Room - an issue of Disparation Tuesday, October 15th: Episode #124 - Creative Process - Phobias Tuesday, October 22th: Editor's Note #35 Tuesday, October 29th: Episode #125 - Creative Process - Monsters and Magic And here's a medium quality photo of my low quality handwriting on this high quality calendar of questionable quality recording content! In today's questions section, we talk about all manner of things, including: OblivAeon Singular Entities Time before time A vest Gene-bound humans Fixed points Timelines Orders of events OblivAeon shards Animals SCRPG rules Hero creation Sentinel Comics LARP Hypothetical moral/logical quandaries Citizen Dawn Villain themes OblivAeon's HP Blood magic Todidos Surviving environments Strength Birthdays Loss Friendship and more! Thanks to everyone who was able to join us live, everyone who else who listens not live, and even everyone who doesn't listen but still thinks good thoughts about us! We appreciate all of you.

We're gonna write a comedy story! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:10:59 Yet again, we craft a comic from the back catalogue of Sentinel Comics! This one is much more modern than our other Writers' Rooms episodes, as you can tell by the cover. We had a ton of fun with all the various parts of this story, and we hope you do, too! Thank you for tuning in! If you're a member of our Patreon, you can join us live this Friday at 11 AM for this month's Editor's Note!

We create and tell the first official Disparation story! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:30:19 This one is a delightful jaunt of an episode. We're excited to dig into a Disparation story again - each of the previous Disparation-focused episodes have been a lot of fun, and getting to tell the first ever is a blast! Also, hot damn, that cover is awesome. Adam continues to knock it out of the park. If you're reading this and looking at the cover before listening to the episode, you'll just have to tune in to find out what's going on here! Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters for making this happen, especially those of you over on The Letters Page Patreon. We are thrilled to get to keep making content for all of you.

We're gonna talk about the WHOLE THING! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:58:22 This episode, we answer so many questions from all of you! You had questions on everything from mechanics, to hero creation, to story, to both future and past info... so many things! As a result, we end up with a longer episode than we've had in a long time! We hope you enjoy all our answers! We're heading into September with new episodes - two Writers' Room episodes! Here's the calendar: To be part of our live show, join the Letters Page Patreon! Thank you to everyone who listens and supports us. You make our dreams come true.

It's time for another live Editor's Note! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:23:02 We reveal the schedule! Upcoming schedule: Tuesday, September 3rd: Episode #119 - Writers' Room - Disparation Tuesday, September 10th: Episode #120 - Writers' Room - Guise & The Scholar Tuesday, September 17th: Editor's Note #34 Tuesday, September 24th: Episode #121 - Creative Process - Minions, Henchmen, & Underlings There will be a recording calendar posted soon, but we need to figure out some September recording times, due to the travels of both Christopher and Adam. We talk about a ton of things in this episode, including but not limited to: OblivAeon Shear Force Slaughterhouse Six The Entertainer Moral/ethical/probability conundrums Where to live Sentinel Comics connections Rewriting history And more!

We had a very fun Gen Con this year! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:28:49 We talk about all manner of things, enjoy a very different musical guest than ever before, and are entirely serious the entire time! (One of those things might not be true. Hard to say.) And here's a Trevor's eye view of the room before we started while people were still coming in. There were a lot of people this year! Good thing Gen Con gave us a bigger room than ever before. Let's pack even more in next year! Between now and then, join us next week on our Patreon for a live recording of this month's Editor's Note!

We're at it again - posting something when we said we wouldn't. What rapscallions. You can't take us anywhere. Show Notes: Run Time: 8:13 This is the second week of our two week Gen Con hiatus, and yet, we just couldn't NOT post SOMETHING, right? Last week was Gen Con, as we lie about on the air. For this Microsode, we answer the NEWEST, the FRESHEST, the RIGHT OFF THE PRESSES letter - one sent in mere hours before we recorded! Amazing. So fresh and so clean clean. For those of you who couldn't be at Gen Con, next week's episode is a Trevor-edited recording of our Gen Con Live Episode! We hope it was a great success - at the time of this writing, we're still several days away from it, but we look forward to it with great anticipation. For those of you on The Letters Page Patreon, we hope you'll join us on Friday, August 16th at 11 AM (Central Time) for our live recording of this month's Editor's Note! Those are always a good time. See you then! Or, rather, you'll see us then. You know what we mean.

You thought we weren't doing an episode this week, didn't you? Well, guess what... you're right! And yet, what's this?!?! Show Notes: Run Time: 6:58 Today is the first Tuesday of our two week of Gen Con hiatus. In today's Microsode, we answer the oldest question on the books! It's from a long-forgotten time - the distant and most ancient past. Wow! We look forward to seeing so many of you at Gen Con! Come say hi! As always, thank you for your continuing listenership and support, especially those of you subscribed to The Letters Page Patreon!

Our first ever Writers' Room episode! We're going to make a story together! Show notes: Run Time: 1:39:55 Only a couple minutes in, we claim we're getting right down to work... and then we goof around talking about cuts of steak or something. But then! We tell you what we're talking about, who's in the issue, and build the entire story of that issue out on the air! After a LOT of work, we take a fun assortment of questions, starting around the 1 hour and 15 minute mark. No episode next week or the week after, due to Gen Con. We hope to see as many of you there as possible!

Show Notes: Run Time: 1:11:01 At the start of the show, we talk a bit of shop about possibilities for new formats of episodes. At the time of recording, the votes weren't in yet for next month's episodes, but there are now! So: Upcoming schedule: Tuesday, August 6th: No Episode (Because Gen Con!) Tuesday, August 13th: Gen Con Live 2019! Tuesday, August 20th: Editor's Note #33 Tuesday, August 27th: Episode #118 - All About SCRPG And here's our recording schedule! Around the 7 minute mark, we start in on your questions on so many topics, such as: Multiple OblivAeon-related questions! Void Guard Magic Sentinels of the Multiverse And that's not all! Thanks to all of you listeners, to our Patreon supporters, and to our families, who never believed we could make any of this a thing but we did it anyway. Hah!

We make stuff up - as we often do - but not really for Sentinel Comics! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:23:20 We build out the world (and even a bit of the meta-verse) for the Shear Force property, as introduced in episode 102. We get into the overview just before the 4 minute mark, and there we get down to brass tacks about figuring about just what IS Shear Force. There's an animated show, and there are comics, but most importantly, there are toys. This all definitely hinges around toys. We get REALLY into it. In retrospect, this feels a lot like the conversations we had when we were first creating Sentinels of the Multiverse, but also very different. After a lot of creative nonsense, we answer a few questions, starting a bit after the 1 hour minute mark. Thank you all for listening! We hope you enjoy listening to this at least half as much as we enjoyed doing the creative work. This Friday, we'll be doing a live recording of this month's Editor's Note, so if you're on the Letters Page Patreon, we hope you can watch that, and possibly even join in if you're a Contributor. See you then!

Let's get villainous! Show Notes: Run Time: 59:09 After some mild goofs, we get into your questions, and you ask all the right things! Listen to learn more about so many villains we've never spoken about before, plus a decent handful that you're already familiar with!

Good morning, everyone! Let's create Sentinel Comics content! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:37:31 This live episode was fun! It moved in a way that we didn't expect - we got into Sentinels of the Multiverse card game content! How? What? Impossible! Right? You'll just have to listen to find out! I don't want to say much more than that; I would hate to spoil the surprises. Thanks to everyone who joined us live, and all of our supporters and listeners, like you!

We take your questions. We give you answers. You know the deal. Or do you? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:11:01 At the start of the show, we talk a bit of shop about possibilities for new formats of episodes. At the time of recording, the votes weren't in yet for next month's episodes, but there are now! So: Upcoming schedule: Tuesday, July 2nd: Episode #115 - Wraith's Rogue Gallery Tuesday, July 9th: Episode #116 - Creative Process: Shear Force Tuesday, July 16th: Editor's Note #32 Tuesday, July 23th: Episode #117 - First Ever Writer's Room! Tuesday, July 30th: A week off due to Gen Con! Then, at around the 12 minute mark, we get to your questions! We cover such exciting topics as: OblivAeon Time Traveling Characters Myriad Members of the Prime Wardens Science Baron Blade's Theoretical Dilemma And much much more! Thanks as always to Trevor, our Patreon supporters, Sentinels fans everywhere, and listeners like YOU!

Remember, even this new team can't spell "Slaughterhouse" without the words "laughter". And also the word "louse", incidentally. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:06:46 We start off with some birthday talk, then some eyeball talk, like you do. Then, we actually do an overview just after the 5 minute mark! Don't worry, it's a VERY short overview. Then, we get right on to your questions at around 8 minutes in. Your questions cover the line-up of the team, including original members like Glamour, Re-Volt, Desert Eagle, and Ray Manta, and new teammates such as Hippo and Kismet! As always, thanks to all of our listeners, especially those of you on the Letters Page Patreon! Join us this Thursday at 10 AM, Central, for a live recording of this month's Editor's Note!

Let's talk more about these powerful heroes! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:10:07 This show is a follow-up to our longest episode ever! So, consider that required listening for what we're talking about here. Adam's eye is ruined and he'll never see again, or something like that. I might be exaggerating here. About 6 minutes into the episode, we go to questions, which are organized by character (after the first couple more general questions). We cover Dr. Medico, Mainstay, The Idealist, and Writhe, in that order. Thanks to our (unwitting) sponsor, TheWyrmSuperior! Of course, so many thanks to Trevor for the great editing and producing and making this podcast possible, and also infinite thanks to all of you delightful listeners! We very much appreciate your support. If you're interested in supporting The Letters Page, check out our Patreon!

Let's get MAGICAL! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:37:44 Let's answer a lot of questions about the how, what, and why of magic! And more! As of this posting, the next episode (all about Void Guard) has already been recorded due to this weeks convention, but feel free to send in questions for the other episodes for the month of June! Also, if you're at UK Games Expo this week, come by the Greater Than Games booth and say hi - Christopher will be there talking about all manner of games, though Adam is holding down the GTG fort in St. Louis and celebrating the tail end of his birth-month. As always, you can support The Letters Page via our Patreon. Thanks for listening!

An Editor's Note all about us being bad at Science! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:24:11 Here's the upcoming schedule! Tuesday, June 4th: Episode #112 - Void Guard Follow-Up Tuesday, June 11th: Episode #113 - The New Slaughterhouse Six Tuesday, June 18th: Editor's Note #31 Tuesday, June 25th: Episode #114 - Create a Thing: LIVE! After only about 5 minutes of light goofs and scheduling, we get into your questions, which are mostly the very "well actuallies" we asked for. But we do have a secret surprise guest appearance in the second half of this Editor's Note! You'll just have to listen to find out more!

This episode is not just about death, it's also about failure! Creative failure! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:15:41 After only a minute or so of goofing around, we actually do a very brief overview section, just to get you all caught up on the when and a bit of the why of this story. But then! You have asked all the right questions, so we let the questions section handle the bulk of the actual storytelling. That starts at around the 4 minute mark. Just so you know, the storytelling ends up being highly non-chronological, but we actually really like it that way. Ends up putting stuff in order of weight and importance, rather than publication order. Thank you all to our listeners and supporters, especially those of you who support us on The Letters Page Patreon! Join us tomorrow, Wednesday, May 12, at 11:00 AM Central time for a livestream of this month's Editor's Note!

Stories that NEVER HAPPENED?!!?!?!?!??! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:12:53 We get to your questions right away, before we even hit the 2 minute mark. And we tell SO MANY stories that never were. Thank you to all of our listeners, especially our Patreon supporters! Get your questions for the Death of Anthony Drake (and anything else Prime Wardens related) in now!

Let's pick up the pace! Show notes: Run Time: 1:02:17 We get right into the story with this one, and actually have an Overview segment! It's been a while since we've had one of those. After telling the story of the Lightspeed limited series, we get to your questions at around the 30 minute mark. Thank you to all you wonderful folks who support the Letters Page Patreon! We couldn't do this without you. Catch ya next time!

We're gonna answer so many questions! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:21:16 We do a lot of goofing around before we get to the schedule, but here's the schedule! Tuesday, May 7th: Episode #109 - Development Hell: cancelled stories Tuesday, May 14th: Episode #110 - The Death (And Return) of Anthony Drake Tuesday, May 21st: Editor's Note #30 Tuesday, May 28th: Episode #111 - Magic in the Multiverse And here's what our calendar looks like: You may note that the recording for Editor's Note #30 is happening on Wednesday the 15th instead of the following Friday. Adam is out of town the rest of that week, so we have to do the recording earlier than usual. Our Patreon supporters can watch/join in live! Finally, we get to your questions starting around 11 minutes in. We talk about such exciting things as: The OblivAeon Event (it's back!) Myriad Bugs vs. Insects vs. Other? Shear Force Pool Shark Guise Unity SCRPG Starter Kit Extremeverse Presidents Shirts Upcoming topics Thanks to all of our listeners and Patreon supporters for making what we do possible! Until next time, heroes!

What were these two up to as they transcended time and space?! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:00:32 We're a mess in this one, but it's probably still worth it! We goof around (and also explain why things are extra weird in this episode) for a few minutes before finally getting to explaining the purpose/angle of this episode, and then getting into your questions a bit after the 7 minute mark. The questions are full of interesting ideas and fascinating queries... to which we have some unsatisfactory answers... but also several cool stories you've never heard before! Overall, we end up giving away and revealing more in this episode than we'd even intended, so, well worth it. The future is yours! All of the Letters Page Patreon can catch us this Friday at 11 AM, Central as we record Editor's Note #29 live! Patreon supporters at the "Contributor" level can join in on the Discord, so we hope to have as many of you as possible there to chat with us about all manner of things! Also, we'll have the voting for next month's episodes posted to the Patreon in the next couple hours, so look forward to that! Finally, thanks to all you delightful listeners for helping us make this possible. See you next time!

An episode in which we get into some real talk about one of our most powerful teams of heroes. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:05:34 With a minimum of banter - mostly due to the somber nature of today's undertaking - we get into the questions at the 2 minute mark. Speedy! Then, in response to the very first question, we tell the entire story of the Fall of the Prime Wardens, from before the prelude through the end of the arc, and in fact the end of the Prime Wardens book. So, essentially, we do an entire overview starting a bit after the 4 minute point, just as a drawn out answer to a question. After all of that, we get back to actually answering questions around 51 minutes in. Though we're certain there will be some follow-up questions for next month's Editor's Note. The final question of the day raises an excellent topic for a future episode that would hopefully put things back on their right path again. Can you forgive these heroes their flaws and inherent humanity? Only time will tell. Thanks for listening! Catch you next time!

Let's "learn" about SCIENCE! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:29:37 Disclaimer! We are not scientists! Like, not really! That will become increasingly clear over the course of the episode! Even still, have fun! After a fairly standard amount of goofing around, we finally get into your questions, starting just before the 4 minute mark. Thanks to all of our listeners, especially our Patreon supporters! Catch you next week!

Let's talk about young Devra Caspit! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:10:23 In the first couple minutes, Adam and Christopher make a wager against Christopher's wishes, but I guess that kind of thing is binding? Then, we get into talking about Unity, what happened in her Day in the Life comic, and more! Around 12 minutes in, we get to your questions, which take up the rest of the episode. And what good questions they are! Thanks so much to all of you delightful listeners, and also to the very few of you who have chosen the path of undelightfulness - we support your decisions as well. Big thanks especially to our Patreon supporters. You make this all possible! We've already recorded next week's episode, so tune in next week to hear all about the Science of the Multiverse!

This Editor's Note has been released later in the day today, as we recorded it live this morning! Sorry for the delay, but we're all caught up now and back to our mostly regular schedule. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:11:19 Here's the upcoming schedule! Tuesday, April 2nd: Episode #105 - Science in the Multiverse Tuesday, April 9th: Episode #106 - Story Arc: Fall of the Prime Wardens Tuesday, April 16th: Episode #107 - Temporal Targets: Chrono-Ranger and La Capitan stories Tuesday, April 23rd: Editor's Note #29 Tuesday, April 30th: Episode #108 - Story Arc: Lightspeed And here's a photograph of one of our whiteboards! (It's the one with the recording/release schedule.) Today, we talk about a lot of stuff! It can mostly be broken down into the categories of SCRPG related things, Fanatic and Ra questions, and Other Questions. Enjoy! Get your questions for Day in the Life: Unity, and Science in the Multiverse ASAP!

Temporary Show Notes: Run Time: 57:57 This is the Myriad episode. A myriad of things are discussed (including a few spoilers if you haven't played the Urban Infestation one-shot)! -Trevor

We make another thing LIVE! What kind of thing? Who knows?! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:23:15 OK, look, we've gotta stall for a while, so it's a few minutes into the episode before we actually get down to brass tacks, but then we start making stuff! We recorded this live in front of the Letters Page Patreon supporters, with many of the Contributors in the chat - you'll hear some of their names, as they were an important part of the creative process! I don't want to spoil anything, so you'll just have to listen to the episode... [spoilers incoming - don't look below this if you want to avoid spoilers!] ...but I will give you this quick sketch that Adam did right after the episode: Shear Force vs the agents of K.U.D.Z.U.! We'll catch you next week for Myriad!

We're talking about a cowboy! Again! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:04:34 No overview, because we did that in an episode two years ago! For reference, check out Episode #25 all about Chrono-Ranger here. Then, we get to your questions and immediately go deep on literature, consciousness, reality... look, this one might get heavy. Besides, we have to talk about time stuff again, so, yeah. The questions cover a lot of Time-Slinger stories, telling you what he's up to now, and also drops a couple of major story elements, one of which no one knows but CON. A quick note about CON: both of us over the course of the episode use all kinds of pronouns for CON - he/she/it/they are all employed. That's partially because we're used to being cagey about giving answers on things, but we've already revealed the truth of CON in the past, so we should have been using "she" the whole time. Sorry for any confusion. This Friday is a "Create a Thing LIVE", so if you're on the Letters Page Patreon, you can join us Friday at 11 AM, Central time! Also, thank you to everyone for supporting us on the Sentinel Comics RPG Kickstarter. It did everything we wanted and more. We're blown away. Thank you.

Let's do an Editor's Note mostly about Sentinel Comics: the RPG related stuff! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:17:35 Hey, everyone! This was a fun one. Special thanks to all of the delightful Letters Page Patreon Contributors who were on Discord. Welcome back to Trevor! He's back to being our full time editor - we loved having Zach for those weeks, but it's also great to have Trevor back. Here's the upcoming schedule! Tuesday, March 5th: Episode #102 - Create a Thing Live Tuesday, March 12th: Episode #103 - Myriad Tuesday, March 19th: Editor's Note #28 Tuesday, March 26th: Episode #104 - Day in the Life: Unity In this episode, we talk about a bunch of stuff, including but not limited to: The SCRPG currently ON KICKSTARTER!!! OblivAeon (of course) Wager Master Voss Miststorm Timeline vs RPG Timeline GM advice Sentinel Comics lore Hero Archetypes Sentinel Comics canon Guise Names Livestream Secrets TREVOR'S BIRTHDAY (and Anthony's birthday, too!) New RPG video series Letters Page RPG stories RPG mechanics Guise AGAIN Fanatic and Ra xxtz'Hulissh and more! See you all next time for slingin'!

Let's hear YOUR stories! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:45:09 We're excited to get into our first official Sentinel Comics RPG timeline story! And it's one that many of YOU have played! After talking a bit about life and the SCRPG Kickstarter (currently happening!), we get into an actual overview a bit after the 4 minute mark! Important Note: this episode is FULL of spoilers for the SCRPG Starter Kit. If you don't want spoilers, walk away now. Save yourself! We go through each issue of the starter kit adventure, explaining it from our point of view that way we have a frame of reference when we get to your questions. Which we do at around 44 minutes into the episode! Now we're at the most delightful part of the episode to us. Getting to hear what happened in your games is a real treat! Also! This episode is the last one edited by Zach, our delightful and capable interim editor! If, after this episode, you miss Zach's calming presence like we do, fear not! You can find Zach in several places: He's on Twitter! He's got a Twitch channel! He's also got a podcast! Thanks so much, Zach - we couldn't have done it without your help! Some final things to share here: The SCRPG is up on Kickstarter right now! Check out the Letters Page Patreon to support the show! There will be a livestream on Patreon this Friday for this month's Editor's Note. Join us then/there! And keep being such great heroes, everyone!

Time to talk about a heavy metal band! Also, they're bad guys! Show Notes: Run Time: 57:47 After only a few minutes of jokes, mouth music, and brief overviews, we get into the questions just before the 5 minute mark. Then we talk about this band! Here are the members of Helfyre, from left to right in the sketch above: Vocals: Screech Lead Guitar: Blister Bass Guitar: Deep Root Drums: Snare Pipe organ/Electronic Keyboard: Drudge Lots of great questions about these ridiculous villains. They're gonna rock you! But, like, not to sleep. To DEATH! But really, they're not killing their fans. Not actually. No profit in that. Don't forget! The Sentinel Comics RPG Kickstarter is still going on - go check it out! And, as always, the Letters Page Patreon is a great place to get even more into the Sentinel Comics stuff we're doing!

Let's talk about the final five environments! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:13:08 OK, so right off the bat, we get it terribly wrong. We claim that the SCRPG Kickstarter is live. When this episode goes live, that's not the case. The Kickstarter goes live an hour after this episode launches. We just did a bad job at thinking about time when we recorded this episode. Go us. That said, if you're listening to this episode right when it goes live, the SCRPG Kickstarter will go live around the 1 hour mark of this episode! Moving right along, just before the 5 minute mark, we get into your questions, starting with questions about Champion Studios and San Alonso. At around the 23 minute mark, we start in on questions about Fort Adamant and everything going on there. A bit after 32 minutes in, we visit scenic Mordengrad! Such a lovely place. We dance with the goat! Then, just after the 41 minute mark, we take a trip to the Nexus of the Void. Totally normal place. NBD. And then, finally, shortly after the 57 mark, we get to Plavu'Col, the Maerynian Refuge. Whew! The Kickstarter campaign for Sentinel Comics: the Roleplaying Game is live by now! Go check it out! See you next time.

Who won the Listeners' Choice Awards? Everyone!

Tuesday, February 19th: Editor's Note #27 Tuesday, February 26th: Episode #101 - Time-Slinger Here's a photo of our recording calendar: Finally, around 37 minutes in, we finally get to your questions, starting off with a most grievous mistake on our part, unsurprisingly! But then moving on to many interesting topics. See you all next time!

Let's talk about Ra... and friends! Show Notes: Run Time: 45:11 After breaking down the plot to some movie or other, we actually do an Overview section! Bringing it back! Telling you what happens in Baptism by Fire, since you've already heard what happens in the War of Heliopolis limited series, as well as the Horus of Two Horizons one-shot. Then, after a lot of issue-by-issue storytelling, we get to your questions just before the 25 minute mark. Thanks to everyone, including our Patreon supporters, our producer Trevor, our interim editor Zach, and most especially listeners like you! We hope to see you all on the Letters Page Patreon this coming Friday - January 18th - for the live recording of this month's Editor's Note, including announcing the Listeners' Choice Awards! Everybody, everybody cut footloose!

Arrr! It be pirate time, mateys! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:00:05 We get to questions right away and go through all of these scurvacious sailors of s...time? The first question of the day ends up going in depth on every member of the crew, so that takes up the majority of the episode, but also gives you pretty much everything you want! Enjoy! Many thanks to Zach Denoncour, our interim podcast editor! He's stepping in for Trevor for the next several weeks, and we're thrilled to have him aboard! Look forward to next time, when things really heat up!

We did tell you that there was no episode on January 1st. But, to be fair, you know that what we do on this podcast is tell lies. That said, this is not so much an episode. Just a quick hello and thank you. Looking forward to 2019. Thanks to all of you for being a part of it.

Happy Holidays from Sentinel Comics to all! Show Notes: Run Time: 41:13 We have a bunch of great questions today, so after only a few minutes of holiday lies, we get into those questions! And within those questions, we tell a few holiday tales. Enjoy! (Also, many thanks to Matthew Bender for his delightful dramatic reading! You'll know it when you hear it.) At the end of the episode, we finally reveal the schedule for January of 2019! Tuesday, January 1st: No episode! Tuesday, January 8th: Episode #96 - A Motley Crew: La Capitán's Time-Displaced Teammates Tuesday, January 15th: Episode #97 - Story Arc: Baptism by Fire/War of Heliopolis/Horus of Two Horizons Tuesday, January 22nd: Editor's Note #26 Tuesday, January 29th: Episode #98 - Post-OblivAeon OblivAeon Environments See you next year!

It's time for the Letters Page Listeners' Choice Awards nominations announcement! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:35:30 We have a special guest for this episode, and he makes the show even better! We spend the first portion of this recording discussing the recently announced awards. Once you've listened to all of that - including the most excellent question nominations - it's time to vote on your favorites! Check out the voting form here. After that, we SHOULD get to the schedule, but we're a week behind on that, so go to the Letters Page Patreon and vote on what episodes will start off 2019. So much voting! (The schedule for January 2019 will be announced in next week's episode.) And then, after all of those things, we finally get to your questions with the help of our special guest! We start in on the questions at just after the 44 minute mark. Only one episode left this year, folks! Join us next week for some holiday cheer!

Let's talk about all the heroes from the OblivAeon Mission Deck! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:03:42 Only a few minutes of goofs and gags before we get to a brief overview! Then, just after the 4 minute mark, we're right on to your insightful and exhaustive questions! The first question goes through ALL of the mission deck heroes, so that takes up the bulk of the episode. The question after that asks about the Be The Gate heroes, who cross over a little with the Mission Deck, but not entirely! Still, fair game. We will be recording this month's Editor's Note live on Friday, December 14th, and we'll be going over your nominations for the Letters Page Awards then! If you want to be a part of that recording, check out our Patreon!

From morally grey to just straight-up evil - what could go wrong?! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:21:27 After the usual goofing around at the beginning, in a shocking change of pace, we bring back the Overview! There, we do some setting explanation to help place what's going on here, both in the world - or Multiverse, rather - of Sentinel Comics and in the metaverse, as well. We also talk about both Rook Cities. Two? Yes, two. But more about one than the other. Then, we get to your questions right after the 12 minute mark. And, as has been the case with some recent episodes, we let the story happen bit by bit in the answers to your questions! Good questions, everyone. Right after the 1 hour and 2 minute mark, Christopher's voice changes to a much more gravelly version. Here's a peek behind the curtain: we lost about 10 minutes of audio from the original recording of this episode. Something weird happened and it was gone. Fortunately, we had very good notes, and as soon as we got back from PAX Unplugged, Christopher and Adam re-recorded that section, and we're actually way happier with the way it turned out this time. Honestly, if we could just re-record every episode 3-5 times before putting the audio live, they'd be even better... but that's ridiculous. Anyway! Christopher's voice was pretty wrecked from the convention, as per usual, but you only have to hear it sounding so rough until around the 1 hour and 13 minute mark. Thanks for listening, everyone! As ever, check out our Patreon for even more stuff!

It's time for an episode about a pretty new team of villains from another era! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:22:00 No overview today - it's straight to questions! No dilly-dallying, even! Right down to business! Our first question is from the creator of the Sentinel Comics Wiki. Hats off to him - that wiki is useful to lots of folks, including us! We go on after that letter with its many illuminating questions to more great questions from great question writers! At the end of the episode, we mention the first annual 2018 Letters Page Podcast awards! More information in last week's Editor's Note, and here's the form for Nominations! This week is PAX Unplugged, and much of GTG will be there, including Christopher, Trevor, and Maggie! If you're on the Letters Page Patreon, we've got an event going on Saturday evening: learn more here! We hope to see you there!

Time for another Editor's Note! Lots of fun and announcements here! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:23:48 First thing, after mild tomfoolery, we announce the first annual Letters Page Podcast Awards!
