The Letters Page

Back to normal! More or less! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:44:03 We've got goofs! Surprised? I feel like you shouldn't be, by this point. Still, goofs abound!  But also, a schedule: Tuesday, September 5th: Episode #259: Writers’ Room: Xtremeverse Omnitron Tuesday, September 12th: Episode #260: Creative Process: OblivAeon Refugees Tuesday, September 19th: Editor’s Note #71 Tuesday, September 26th: Episode #261: Writers’ Room: Rook City Renegades #100 (The Death of Sk8blayd) Mostly dead shows! Just preparing for the following months, which are spooky, as is traditional. We read letters! We answer questions! We create issues for the future, and I'm not talking about comic book issues here! Join us next week for Episode #258 - Writers’ Room: Tabitha Taft defeats an Alpha foe! Who could it BE now?

Coming at you, both LIVE and NEON! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:40:30 How could I pick from all these fantastic photos?  Look at them! The show starts off with some yelling as I throw shutter shades and snap bracelets into the audience — no one got hurt! Which is shocking, really. Then, we take more photos! A little after the 5 minute mark, we do some great radio that isn't explained well on the air. It culminates in me removing my tie and tying it around Adam's head as a headband. It was another fantastic live show, with both Trevor and Jean-Marc helping out a ton, and even a surprise appearance from Paul Bender to reprise a segment from last year. AND! Tons of fantastic listeners, many of whom we knew by name but had never met before. That was a cool experience for us, to be sure. Join us next week for an Editor's Note next week, and if you're on the Patreon, join us this coming Friday for a live recording of said Editor's Note! Oh, and speaking of the Letters Page Patreon, if you're a Patreon supporter,

Surprise! No episode this week, and yet we still put out a little something!  By now, I'm sure that's not at all surprising, since we do something like this everytime, but each one unique! This one shows off just how good Trevor is at stuff, and also gives you a little insight into Christopher's other podcast, the Play Greater Podcast! We're newly back from Gen Con, but the dust has HARDLY settled. Next week's episode will be the audio recording of this year's Gen Con live show, and then all you Letters Page Patreon folks can join us the following Friday for a live Editor's Note! And if you're not a Letters Page Patreon person, maybe consider becoming one today! See you soon!

We're off to Gen Con! Here's a space story! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:39:07 We're happy to be here, and we're also happy to be going to Gen Con! If you're in the Indianapolis area on this coming Sunday, August 6th, at noon, come to Stadium Room 12 and join us for a live show! However, before that, we go to space with our most oft-character-changing hero, Parse! Oh, and because Adam had to make that poster for the comic book cover anyway, here's a "clean" version of it: No episode next week, because of Gen Con! See you after the dust settles!  

The nicest fellow and the edgiest twins, but as 90s as all get out! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:35:13 We come in with no concrete ideas... and yet hit the ground running on a three part story sure to shock and amaze! Heroes! Cults! Thrills and spills! We've got 'em all, and more! We also read letters, answer questions, and leave frustrating crumbs about future content in unplanned ways, as per usual! Join us next week: Tuesday, August 1st: Episode #257 - Writers’ Room: Parse in space! And then... GEN CON!!

We're here to have a nice time! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:26:24 Christopher's been traveling! He did some livestreams with the Penny Arcade crew last week, and here's the one of them he promised to put in the show notes! Adam and Christopher are getting ready to travel to Gen Con! It's gonna be a good time! We hope as many of you as possible can attend the Gen Con Live recording of The Letters Page! There will be at least one special musical guest! Speaking of Gen Con, it messed up our regular schedule notably. Check it out! Upcoming schedule:  Tuesday, August 1st: Episode #257 - Writers’ Room: Parse in space Tuesday, August 8th: NO EPISODE BECAUSE GEN CON Tuesday, August 15th: Gen Con Live 2023! Tuesday, August 22nd: Editor’s Note #70 Tuesday, August 29th: Episode #258 - Writers’ Room: Tabitha Taft defeats an Alpha foe Finally, we get into questions and answers, and provide plenty of both! Join us next week for Episode #256 in which The Scholar interacts with Darkstrife & Painstake! Darkstrife AND Painstak

A new Citizen?! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:35:40 It's been a while since we've talked about Citizen Dawn related stuff. Can she survive this return to her stories?! Villainy is afoot! This story has a decent amount of musing and live creation, and I think that's nice! Do you enjoy that sort of thing? We hope so! Join us next week for Editor's Note #69, and if you're part of the Letters Page Patreon, join us this Friday for the livestream... but not at the normal time of 11 AM, no no! This Friday's livestream will be at 3:00 PM, Central time! We hope you can join us for it!

Ambuscade is gonna win! And also, a second cover! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:38:41 We try to skip the banter, and only sort of succeed. Places to be! Stories to tell! And tell, we do! Lots of Ambuscade questions. This Ansel G. Moreau guy is popular!  Join us next week for Episode #255, all about the Citizens of the Sun Civil War!

This episode is a bit shorter than average these days... but we talk about several issues of Sentinel Comics, so that makes up for it, right? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:10:51 We start off with some jokes, some banter, that sort of thing, but then we gotta get down to business! Stories to be told! The original prompt was "Greazer in La Comodora's brig". Did we answer that prompt? We certainly attempt to do so! Several times! But... did we do it!? Who can say. Want more access? Want to make decisions about the future of The Letters Page Sure you do! That sounds fun, right? Join our Patreon community and make the important choices about what we do next! Join us next week for an event called "La Gloire!" Hear us attempt and fail to smoothly pronounce French words! What more could you ask for?

Note note note note! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:25:06 Before getting into Meta questions and Meta Meta questions, we are once again awed at how long we've been doing this, then do some goofs, and finally talk about the schedule! Upcoming schedule:  Tuesday, July 4th: Episode #254 - Writers’ Room: Ambuscade vs the Prime Wardens Tuesday, July 11th: Episode #255 - Writers’ Room: Citizens of the Sun Civil War Tuesday, July 18th: Editor’s Note #69 Tuesday, July 25th: Episode #256 - Writers’ Room: The Scholar encounters Darkstrife and Painstake Then we answer questions, both from letters and from the chat! Speaking of the chat, those who get to attend live by being Patreon supporters get to see us do an extra 10-20 minutes of stuff before the show recording starts, including some (bad) drawing and additional goofs. Today's episode pre-show included a surprise special guest that genuinely surprised Adam! Trevor captured Adam's reaction perfectly with this screenshot: It's Nolan Nasser! Want to know more? Patreon sup

It's gritty time! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:30:13 We start with some goofs and chats, and then we get right into it, telling a story designed to make you feel good about the world and humanity! All is well!  A note on that brilliant cover that Adam drew and the name of the episode. During the episode, we posited just when the issue might land, and we were mostly right, but off by a little. Fortunately, our eagle-eyed listeners noticed an issue while Adam was livestreaming his drawing of that cover, which gave us the opportunity to shift the issue number slightly, clearing up any potential conflicts. So, that is accurately Issue #93 of Vol. 2 of Mystery Comics!  Join us next week for an Editor's Note, and if you're on the Letters Page Patreon, you can join us this Friday morning at 11 AM Central for the live recording of said Editor's Note!

Our earliest story ever! And it even has a backup story! Let's get golden! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:22:00 We do some banter, then tell some tales! We know a lot about this one, but there are still many details that can be discovered on the air, and we seek them out! Plus some unexpected twists! A shorter question section than usual, but that's OK! It happens sometimes.  If you haven't seen the cover for this episode, I highly recommend checking it out! It's the earliest cover Adam has drawn, so far. The covers are always in the show notes, and some podcast apps show them, but others don't. But they're always visible at our website!

THREE issues today? Yes! But only one cover. You'll have to listen to the cover section to find out why! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:21:01 Happy Birthday tomorrow, Adam! And we hope that everyone enjoys International Same Age Day this Thursday! This episode went by quickly, mostly because we had a lot of the pieces already, and the stuff we didn't have was just all kinds of fun. Adam helps Christopher get through his impending mental breakdown. We'll see how much longer he has in him before he's overtaken by the Void itself! We also answer a bunch of questions, as is our wont. And we talk about a cover! Really, we talk about three, but that's giving away too much.

It was a live show! Now it's just dead audio. :C Show Notes: Run Time: 1:42:59 Warning! This episode is pretty goof-heavy. Lots of goofs. You've been warned. Here's the upcoming schedule:  Tuesday, June 6th: Episode #251 - Writers’ Room: Heroic Proletariat Tuesday, June 13th: Episode #252 - Writers’ Room: Fanatic & The Organization Tuesday, June 20th: Editor’s Note #68 Tuesday, June 27th: Episode #253 - Writers’ Room: Greazer in La Comodora’s Brig We answer lots of questions on such a wide variety of topics. It gets wild. Listen and find out! Join us next week for the last episode of Adam's birth-month: Episode #250 - Writers’ Room: Scavenger Unity!

It's Ramblin' time! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:57:21 There's much to explain about this fellow still, and we get into a bunch of it! Some foes are created, many questions are answered, and there are even a few goofs! There's a lot to get through, and we manage to make it work! Whew! Join us next week — or live this Friday if you're on the Letters Page Patreon — for Editor's Note #67!

Whoa, it's been a LONG time since we talked about Tarogath! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:31:11 Adam's birth month continues with more creative processes! This episode involves as much recalling, restating, reframing, and re-explaining as it does creating, but sometimes that's what it's all about!  Join us next week for ANOTHER Creative Process, this one all about the foes of the mysterious Rambler! Because you demanded it! If you want to make demands, consider joining the Letters Page Patreon!

Christopher's voice is compromized, but he's still gonna come up with bad guys! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:32:49 It's the first week of Adam's birth month, and we're happy to be here! We're off to the races with this one — been a long time coming, and we didn't really do any prep work (other than sneaky stuff last week... but you'll have to listen to find out what that means) so you're getting all this mostly uncut! From the Golden Age to very modern, indeed! Also, there's a fun cameo in the letters section! Enjoy! Join us next week for ANOTHER Creative Process, this one about Lifeline's supporting cast!

We've got three action packed issues coming at you! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:40:57 We tell the story of the Citizen Dawn Event from Definitive Edition Sentinels of the Multiverse! Then, we go on to answer a bunch of questions, both about Citizen Dawn and about the recently revealed Grimm! Also, check out this very cool crowdfunding campaign, in German! Join us next time to kick off Adam's birth month with one of many Creative Processes!

A note! From Editors! For Editors? BY Editors?! Who can say! Show Notes:  Run Time: 1:43:49 There was a lot of great interaction from the chat on this one, which means that even though we recorded for over 2 hours, Trevor cut a lot of Bad Radio and this episode is a reasonable length. Whew! Upcoming schedule! Tuesday, May 2nd: Episode #247 - Creative Process: Fashion Foes Tuesday, May 9th: Episode #248 - Creative Process: Lifeline Supporting Cast Tuesday, May 16th: Episode #249 - Creative Process: Rambler Foes Tuesday, May 23rd: Editor’s Note #67 Tuesday, May 30th: Episode #250 - Writers’ Room: Scavenger Unity When we finally get into letters, we acknowledge that we were wrong to do rules rulings on the air. Whoops! We'll still take letters about rules questions, but we'll answer them with more care and oversight. Thanks! We still have lots of Rook City Renegades stuff to talk about, and we do! Listen and find out! Catch you next time for Episode #246 about the Citizen Dawn event with an alien artifact on I

Someone's about to have a bad day! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:35:25 The prompt for this episode was "a hero turned villain", and we start off by going through many instances of this in Sentinel Comics, before getting down to the business of ruining a perfectly good hero. Greater than good, in fact! It's a real shame. The Disparation campaign went well! VERY well! Thank you to everyone who joined in! If you missed it, don't worry — we'll have the preorder store thing up in the not-too-distant future where you can join in late. Become a "slacker backer", if you will. Will you? Won't you? Would you? We hope so. See you next time for an Editor's Note! Join us live this Friday at 11 AM Central time if you're a Patreon supporter!
