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 min...

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. questio...

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 ...

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 r...

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 . Pleas...

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 cr...

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/s...

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 an...

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 her...

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 u...

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....

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...

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...

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)...

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 stu...

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 - Write...

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 ge...

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 record...

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!

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...

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.

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, ri...
