It's the end of the year! Let's do another one next year! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:34:18 Trevor made us a bunch of fancy new music for this one! The recording was pretty unhinged, as well, so Trevor ended up cutting a LOT. Interested in hearing the sorts of things Trevor cuts? You should join the Letters Page Patreon ! Patreon supporters get to watch the Editor's Notes live, and also have access to the YouTube recordings of past Editor's Notes. Just figured I should mention that. ANYWAY! Adam coa...

Choo-chooooose Sentinel Comics this holiday season! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:15:38 Happy Holiday times, everyone! We've got a story full of Christmas cheer... and trains heist!

Also, for Patreonists, voting is up for next month's topics! Go vote! See you soon!...

Who could possibly have beef with Bunker? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:31:00 Do you want to start off by talking about what happens when you break the laws of reality? Because that's what's happening here! We attempt to make up some Bunker enemies! And we succeed in doing so, but only partly? More success than not, but certainly with some things that don't go the way we expected. Which is fairly normal for us, I suppose. We also read and respond to your letters! Again, normal for us, but still notabl...

Can The Scholar survive this eldritch foe?! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:30:57 We had a lot of fun with this episode, using a foe we haven't talked very much about (other than in a couple specific episodes). Creating more for his look and feel and plots was a blast! We hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Get your questions for the upcoming Creative Process about Bunker foes and Writers' Room about Absolute Zero and Fright Train on a holiday train episodes in now! Using this form ! Do it!...

Birds birds birds! But are they real birds? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:15:55 We tell a story that we've known for a while, but have never shared here! We also take a variety of questions on a variety of topics! You know, like we usually do on this show! Join us next week for a much less known story about The Scholar!

The penultimate Editor's Note of the year! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:03:04 We're closing in on the end of the year, but we're not quite there yet! Another live show with lots of live attendees, and great questions all around! But first, the schedule: Tuesday, December 6th: Episode #233: Writers’ Room: The Scholar lets loose in a fight Tuesday, December 13th: Episode #234: Creative Process: Bunker Foes Tuesday, December 20th: Episode #235: Writers’ Room: Polar Express: Absolute Zero and Fright Trai...

Which minor villain gets scary today? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:27:31 We're halfway through the second spooky month, but this episode is less "spooky" and more "potentially exitentially terrifying". I'm sure nothing bad will come out of it. If you're a Letters Page Patreon supporter (and if you're not, maybe you should be!) join us for a live show this Friday! We look forward to seeing you there!...

Scowly heroes get scowly foes! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:45:58 Christopher and Adam are back at it again! This episode is on the long side, but it's because they're brimming with ideas! Overflowing, even! And thus: this podcast. Besides making up a bunch of things, they also studiosly answer your questions! Are you satisfied with the answers they provide? We hope so! If not, send in more questions ! New news! Christopher is now doing TWO podcasts! This one, every week, and once a month a podcast c...

WHO IS THIS: Show Notes: Run Time: 1:28:57 Not much banter as we have a lot to get into here... but definitely go watch Everything Ever All At Once. Christopher saw it when it came out and Adam just watched it in the last week and so now they can't stop talking to each other about it and have to actively restrain themselves from doing so on the air. (Christopher has been waiting for MONTHS for Adam to see it, just biding his time...) And then! We get into making a thing! We do it all with no pla...

A blast from the past! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:15:38 Adam and I have been looking forward to this story for a long time! Do we have a plan? Heck, no! But we have what we think is a cool hook. Can we deliver? You decide! Oh, this is the crowdfunding campaign that we talked about at the top of the show. It's going pretty dang well! We have fun with the story, and then we get into questions. Not a lot for this episode, unsurprisingly, but a bunch for the Greazer and Fashion episode, unsurprisingly!...

Good morning, Sentinels! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:27:06 It's another beautiful day here in Letters Page land! Adam and I hadn't recorded in a couple weeks due to the Essen Spiel convension, so we're extra punchy in this recording — we're sorry / you're welcome? Here's the upcoming schedule!

A lot of new stuff in one story?! Yes, indeed! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:19:13 Adam and Christopher are back to tell all sorts of stories, but bad news: Christopher's audio is still a bit weird, as this episode was recorded on the same day as last week's episode. Not to fear! Trevor and Christopher will be troubleshooting his audio this week to try to solve this issue. Don't let audio weirdness get in the way of this story! We revisit a character we created on the air of this very show, and even c...

We're ready to have a howlin' good time! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:27:32 The spooky times have begun, and they're off with quite the start! We recorded this episode AND next week's episode on the same day, but don't hesitate to send us any questions; we can always get to them on a future episode!

What's happening out in space? Nothing much, right? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:48:31 Adam is sick! Christopher is injured! But, against all odds, they perseverse and end up telling a tale they're both very proud of. Does it hold up? Do you folks like it as much as we do? Gosh, we hope so! But first, we gotta tell you all about the recording schedule from now through the end of the year! With conventions, holidays, and other travel, our recording schedule is weird for most of the rest of the year. W...

Good morning, Avians and Arcanists! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:33:34 What kind of foes are around for a Hero who is mostly a protégé/sidekick/team member for the comparatively short time that she's a hero, especially in relation to the very long time she spent incarcerated after her ONE big villainous outing? Well, that's what this episode is all about! Listen in and learn more! Join us next week for an Editor's Note — if you're on the Letters Page Patreon , join in the fun with us this Friday at 1...

The Last Temptation? EVER?! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:28:56 We start off by talking about a cat, but not a real cat! Sorry for getting sidetracked. You know us. Then we talk about Fanatic! And Apostate! And a story that you know, but we've never gotten this in-depth on. Get your questions about Harpy foes in now !

It's an older story, but it still checks out! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:31:35 We had a lot of fun telling this story! As we mention on the air, we knew many elements of this story going into it, but the stuff we DIDN'T know really bloomed over the course of the recording. We hope you enjoy it, too! Join us next week for another Writers' Room about another early story: "The Last Temptation of Helena!"

Another thrilling Editor's Note! Now, with 100% more online collaboration! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:25:31 We're all over the place on this one, as is often the case with live shows... but even MORE so this time! We weave together letter reading, question answering, environment creating, and goof making, one after another with no discernable pattern. Does that make for good listening? Seems unlikely... but perhaps? You decide! Also, there's a schedule of upcoming episodes! They look a little somet...

Paul and I did an episode live! Many of you joined us! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:37:16 Trevor did a great job not just making sure the audio worked for making this episode, but also making everything work live, AND he and his partner Jenny sang all of the musical bits LIVE! It was a delight to see him in his element. Meanwhile, Paul and Christopher goofed around on stage, but we brought a lot of you in on it, so the community aspect of this live episode was through the roof. Thank you for explaini...

Surprise! Are you surprised? Probably not! Not that we have a lot to say here. Just wanted to hop on and chat a bit, rather than releasing nothing at all — that's no fun! We hope you all had a great Gen Con. Heck, we hope we did, too! We recorded and scheduled this minisode at the same time as last week's episode, so this message is time traveling. Like all messages, if you really think about it. Yay, time shenanigans! Join us next Friday (the 19th, not this coming Friday) for the recording of E...

It's just another episode... or is it? (No it is not.) Show Notes: Run Time: 1:22:51 We are plagued by technical difficulties! Early on, Adam says "nothing should be changed", but that doesn't bear out. Give it a listen and see how well Trevor was able to piece together our nonsense! We're setting up Gen Con right now — if you're at the show, come visit us in booth #1321!

Uh, spoilers, I guess. Then, we make some villains! We're all over the place on this one, and we're thrilled with the things we came up with. A real cornucopia of evil. Join us nex...

Show Notes: Run Time: 1:48:10 We've got quite the story for you today, and it's all happening live (except for the fact that I did a bunch of middle of the night thinking about the story before we recorded, as discussed on the air). We tell more than just an issue or two of story in today's episode — we range far and wide, but still manage to go deep on more than just today's cover issue!
