We were owned before we even started. We're number... something embarrassingly low... Show Notes: Run Time: 1:39:32 Trevor managed to grab some audio from the streaming video from before we started recording, so you can hear a bit of just how we were not just one-upped, but several- upped. What a world. And that's not all that happens this show! There's so much more! Even the telling of our upcoming schedule for the first of the spooky months! Upcoming schedule: Tuesday, October 1st: Episode #29...

It's about time! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:26:49 We've told parts of this tale before, but never the whole thing at once, and some of it has never come up before! Also, we talk a bit about temporal positioning, including the when/where/whom of The Chronoist! And, as is the usual thing for us, we answer many questions about a recent past episode. Which one? Benchmark foes! Naturally — he's the new standard, after all. Join us this coming Friday for a live Editor's Note! Editor's Note number 83, in ...

Two issues? What an ideal number. Should would be a shame if someone came along who wanted THREE things instead... Show Notes: Run Time: 1:48:33 Finally, you get to hear the story we crafted when we recorded this episode AND the Benchmark foes creative process... and I don't feel like this episode ended up much shorter! Sure, it's shy of the two hour mark, but only by a bit, and there's still plenty of tale told in the episode! Plus, who doesn't love more Dr. Kronz? Join us next week for a Write...

It's the first Creative Process in a long time! Will this become some sort of new standard?! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:03:36 This is the first of two episodes we recorded in one day, and we inteded to go through it (and next week's episode) quickly to make two in one day possible... but look at that run time! Geeze! Well, we probably learned our lesson for next week. Time will tell! We talk a bunch about the sorts of foes that Benchmark faces and make up some new ones! And also answer many questio...

Welcome to another live show, this one featuring live real trumpet playing by Trevor! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:31:13 A noir-style episode! We had costumes, the afore-mentioned trumpet-playing Trevor, cool(?) accents, and even a smoke machine! There were very cool cosplayers, as well! And even more silly accents. And some live surprises! I was attacked and wrapped up in bubble wrap! It was a great time. Gen Con live shows are always a blast, and thanks to so many of you for being there and helping...

Hello, everyone! We were at Gen Con last week, and boy are our arms tired! We had a tremendous live show that went so well, mostly in thanks to Trevor's impressive skills and the audience's excellent participation. Adam and I were also there! Do you want to hear how it went? Good news! Next week's episode will be that very recording! Join us for that, followed by a live recording for our Patreon folks! JOIN US!

Gen Con is upon us! But first: another Legacy story! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:36:28 This is a fun one (we say that a lot) because even though it's about Legacy, it's not a Legacy-as-the-main-character story. Plus, we get to do fey stuff. SPOILERS! Anyway, short notes this time because I'm writing these in between doing booth setup stuff AT GEN CON! See you soon!

The pre-Gen Con editor's note! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:38:24 We are experiencing physical and psychic aches and pains! A variety of different damage types have been dealt to us! Thus is the way just before Gen Con. I explain "chin tucks" which makes for terrible radio, but here and here are some better explanations! Tuck your chins! (Unsurprisingly, I'm super into people having healthy spines — even more so than would be typical for your average spine-haver!) We, uh, also get into talking about ...

Another Legacy episode, but younger! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:42:22 We're feeling the pressure of the looming Gen Con. Are you gonna be there? Will you be at this event ? We hope so! Also, we talk about the Compile livestreams I've been doing lately with two Matts. Check them out on our Twitch channel ! Next week's episode is an Editor's Note, which means we'll be doing a live recording this coming Friday, July 19th, at 11 AM Central! If you're a member of The Letters Page Patreon , you can join ...

Back from the dead?! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:32:39 We got a [redacted] for Gen Con! Aren't you excited about our [redacted]?! We are! We dive into the history and backstory of Skeleton Key, and then tell some stories, even! What a creepy fella. Don't worry, we've got more Legacy coming soon! Send us your Legacy questions!

Welcome to July! Let's kick off this Legacy month with the most Legacy book of all time! Front Cover: Back Cover: Entire Wrap: Show Notes: Run Time: 1:48:33 Adam really outdid himself with the cover, and we craft the story that leads to such a cover over the course of this episode! That's how these work!

We're off to another world! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:52:48 We hit the ground running with this one, and I've got IDEAS! Do they pan out? Wait and see! Another thrilling tale from the pages of Disparation, just in time for July, which will be mostly about Legacies... and Skeleton Key, I guess? Thanks everyone for listening!

W-w-w-w-w-w-wipeout!! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:03:50 That's right, we broke the two hour mark. Again. Sorry! If it makes you feel better, it's because we did an entire limited run of a comic book title! I'll bet you'll never guess which title, though... If you're on the Letters Page Patreon (and if you're not, why not?) join us this coming Friday at 11 AM Central for a live recording of Editor's Note #80! Which will be next week's episode! But, I highly recommend being there live, if possible. We...

I'll bet you'll never guess which villains are the dueling stars of this episode. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:40:34 The day of recording was Adam's Birthday! And then, this most recent Saturday was Intergalactic Same Age Day! Did you all enjoy being suddenly and inexplicably 40? Pretty great, right? Heck yeah. Anyway, now everyone is back to their just and proper ages, and it's time to talk about two villains who are mad at each other. Rest assured, this is an ongoing feud! They continue to dislike ...

SIX issues in the title?! Yup. Show Notes: Run Time: 2:05:11 Another episode that cracks 2 hours... we didn't set out to tell this much of a tale, but we were on a roll! Plus, we quite like this villainous foil for our beloved Tyler Vance. We also get to questions. A friendly reminder! Please, try to keep your letters UNDER 5ish paragraphs. If you've gotta go over, make it for a good reason. We believe in you! You write great letters! You can do this! We just want to hear from as many people as ...

She's winging in for some stories! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:57:33 We delve into just who in Fanatic's supporting cast is around in the mid-80s, and find some small hopes, at least! Then, we tell some tales. Fanatic's a complicated character, especially in the 80s. Then, we answer questions from the recent Greazer and Fashion episode! Yes, we talk about Cardshark and Kaargra Warfang. Join us next week for an Editor's Note... or better yet, if you're on the Letters Page Patreon , join us THIS FRIDA...

So, you're welcome! And/or apologies! Depending on how you feel about all that. Anyway, right, then on to the story! You know what ultimately happens in it, but the beat-by-beat is still pretty dang good! At least, in our opinion. Join us next week for yet another "A Day In The Life" episode, this one a...

The end of the Oracle! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:17:50 Look how short this episode is! It's not because anything was ommitted — no, we just knew this whole tale, and told it post-haste! Is it a good tale? That's for YOU to decide! We answer some questions from recent and NOT AT ALL RECENT history. Do the questions ripen with age? Or do they rot? Or neither? So many questions in today's show notes. Too many? Who can say?! Join us next week for a Writers' Room about that one time when Akash’Bhuta be...

We must be catching up for lost time in the first few months of the year. Yeah, that's it — gotta make sure our average episode length smooths itself out. This episode is just a straight-up continuation of a previous episode: Episode #225 , in fact! Haven't listened to it before? We recommend going back and checking it out before diving into this one.

You decide! Also, check out this kick-ass cover that Adam slaved over! Mighty impressive! We also field a bunch of letters on a few topics, and we attempt to answer them all!

I'd say "spoilers", but you could have already seen the cover by this point, so there you go. And it happened at the same time as the Vengeance limited series, as promised! Want to know more? You'll just have to listen to the episode! Next week, we get to do another Day in the Life episode, this one about The Argent Adept! Join us!...

It's finally here! The long-awaited surgery-sode! That's right, not much of an episode today, because Christopher just had spine surgery and is recovering. How's recovery going? I'm sure we'll find out soon! Bear with us until then! (AAAAH!! The bear is back!!!)

Huh, I don't remember feeling that long when we recorded it. Welp! We must have been in the zone, or something. ANYWAY! We tell a Choke story. The first one, actually!
