Editor's Note #32

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 star...

Episode #116 - Creative Process: Shear Force

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...

Episode #115 - Wraith's Rogues Gallery

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!

Episode #114 - Create-a-Thing Live!

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!...

Editor's Note #31

Episode #113 - The New Slaughterhouse Six

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, De...

Episode #112 - Void Guard Follow-Up

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 ...

Episode #111 - Magic in the Multiverse

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 hol...

Episode #110 - The Death (and Return) of Anthony Drake

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 high...

Episode #109 - Development Hell

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!

Episode#108 - Lightspeed

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!...

Episode #107 - Temporal Targets: La Comodora and Chrono-Ranger

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 answ...

Episode #106 - Fall of the Prime Wardens

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 entir...

Episode #105 - Science of the Multiverse

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!...

Episode #104 - Day in the Life: Unity

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 ...

Episode #102 - Create a Thing LIVE

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 hav...

Episode #101 - Time-Slinger

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 majo...

Episode #99 - Helfyre

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 gon...

Episode #98 - Post-OblivAeon Environments

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 o...

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.

Welcome to 2019!

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.
