Oh no, Mr. Fixer! What now?! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:28:21 We start with barely a concept on this one and just build as we go. Pretty pleased with how it went, but I don't think we'd have called how it turned out from the beginning! We have some Mr. Fixer questions today, as well as a few letters about various Discord/Disparation stuff. Thought provoking stuff! We do our best to provide satisfactory answers. Do we succeed? You tell me! Join us next week for a Mr. Jitters story! Make a run for th...

The newest, youngest, RPGest team! And a spooooky adventure! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:36:31 Gotta say, we had a lot of fun delving into a lighter fare (but still spooky and frankly pretty dark) story with our Daybreak friends! But yeah, we managed to make it weird, even still. This Friday is an Editor's Note! Join us live if you're part of the Letters Page Patreon !

Something wicked (awesome) this way comes! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:27:09 Adam and I recorded TWO episodes on the same day, and they're both great! You'll only get to hear one of them today — you'll have to wait a week to hear the other. Don't worry! The wait will be worth it. Lots happens in this episode, including going into WAY more issues than just the one pictured above. Why? What about? Involving WHOM?! I mean, this episode was promised to involve both witches and at least ONE werewolf, and...

Let the spookiness commence! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:13:48 We start off by talking about a different comic: Disparation Vol. 1 #21... but that's not the issue for today's Writers' Room! Listen and find out! At the end of the episode, we mention that this week — on Friday, October 8th — we'll be recording the next TWO episodes! So, get your questions for the "Witches and Werewolves: Harpy and Alpha" and "Daybreak Halloween Special" Writers' Room episodes in now!...

What's this? Something unexpected?! No, not really. We mentioned it at the end of last week's episode: I was at Gen Con last week for meetings and such, but GTG wasn't there as a company, so no Gen Con Live this year. Hopefully next year! Oh, and I guess there's a letters section? I didn't know anything about this in advance. Well, we'll just see what happens. Join us next week (or this Friday if you're a Letters Page Patreon supporter) for a regular-style-but-a-week-late Editor's Note, in which...

Glue pun! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:17:44 There is less history to this character than many, but that doesn't stop us! If anything, we're excited to build him out! Especially with all the great folks that have given to much to The Adhesivist. Not sure what I'm talking about here? Listen and find out! At the end of the episode, we talk about how the schedule is about to get weird: rather than the regularly scheduled Editor's Note #48, we'll have a interlude-type-thing, just for fun. Then, the NEXT ...

The life of a man who has touched the lives of many. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:22:54 Adam and I are excited to finally work through this limited series! It's got a lot of creative folks on it, and it's fun for us to work with an ensemble creative cast. We hope you enjoy listening in! After about 44 minutes of story telling, we get into your questions! On a variety of topics! Not so much this episode, but that's not a huge deal. Join us next week for a Creative Process episode we're referring to as...

Finally, you get to see the Soothsayer himself, and on a comic cover, at that! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:30:54 So, we do some goofs, but then the story came together... so quickly? Whoops? It's OK — we spend extra time in the question section, as a result! A very important thing happened last week while we were recording this episode! We here at Greater Than Games were nominated for several ENNIES! Learn more in this blog post I made yesterday. Two big things: this podcast was one of the nominatio...

Greetings from the distant past! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:33:34 What ancient words you hear now... can this hoary old record still hope to have any relevance in this new world of today? Well, let's see! After some goofs (or are they seriouses?!), we go into making up villains for our favorite gun-toting cyclops! (I mean, first we do on-topic goofs, because, how could we not?) After about an hour of villain creation, we take your questions! What do we do with them? Nothing responsible! Join us nex...

La Comodora and Chrono-Ranger visit the Extremeverse! Or is it the Xtremeverse? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:36:42 Adam's got house problems, but that's not going to stop us from getting EXTREME! But first! Some spelling disputes. Then, we tell a whole set of stories! More than we expected! We bounce between a few different issues. All over the top. We hope you enjoy them. And then the questions ALSO get XTREME! Trevor does a great job with the episode, as usual. Join us next week for a Creative Proc...

Biomancer is back, but with a more explained plan than ever before! Still not THAT much explanation, though. It's still Biomancer. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:29:54 We're excited to bring you another Biomancer story. He's very much a "sometimes food", but we enjoy it when it comes up. We do some goofs, figure out where/when in the history of Sentinel Comics this issue lands, and tell the various parts of this story, all of which takes just over half an hour! We're getting pretty good at this. Then, ...

Time for a quick switcheroo! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:25:22 Let's swap some bodies! Just who will get swapped, and to what end? The cover above gives at least a little of it away, but not enough to ruin the story... not by a long shot! After about 38 minutes of storytelling (sprinkled liberally with goofs), we get to your questions, which range far and wide! High and low! Inside and outside! Cats and dogs, living together!

The fireworks are still going off here! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:36:41 We do some small talk, and even a bit of medium talk, and then we get into the story! By "story" I mean, slogging through coming up with versions of the heroes for the tale. Once we've got those, everything else goes smoothly. That's how it goes! Lots of questions on a variety of topics, which we get into at around the 51 minute mark. Join us next time, where we tell a Body Swap story!...

Show Notes: Run Time: 1:38:34 We're flying blind for this one! Rather than coming at it with an idea of where we're going, we just knew that we needed to fill some story gaps. And we did it! Plus, came up with some content that you'll see in the future... Thanks for joining us! Get your questions in for our historic look at a hero team, with Episode #181 -...

But we only full Writers' Room one issue, which is the cover you see above here. But just what is that story? You'll have to listen to find out!

What sort of friend-persons does our favorite very tall / very tiny alien have? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:46:36 We talk about people in Sky-Scraper's life! It gets meandery. Go figure!

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

Then, we get to all the wolfs. We tell you more about a wolf you know, and a lot about a wolf you don't know yet! Where have these wolves been hiding all this time?! At around the 45 minute mark, we get into questions! More wolf stuff there, but also some non-wolf stuff! Join us next week for a Hero/Villain ...

Welp, guess we'll go mad! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:18:38 It's been so long since we've done an episode like this! How do they even work? We end up doing a bit of "Creative Process" and "Writers' Room" type stuff in the Overview section, as that's how we work best, apparently. As a result, you get lots of backstory, some points of interest, and a cool story or two! And all within about half an hour! Hope that answers all your questions on xxtz'Hulissh! We certainly don't expect much in the way of ...

In the words of our very own Trevor: Whoa, slow down there, Trevor! Praise of that caliber is likely to go to our heads!

Then, we get into a bunch of backstory, some temporal positioning, and some issue number questing. And ...
