The Letters Page

A story from the Void Guard book?! About time. Show Notes: Run Time: 2:08:28 It's odd to see a book change genre in the very third issue. How did this happen? What happened in issues #1 and #2? What happens after this story?  While I cannot promise complete satisfaction on all of those fronts, rest assured that this episode at least touches on all of that! And more! And introduces a villainous for...

What's with all the princesses?! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:14:06 We have not figured out how to keep these episodes under two hours. That (and the fact that June had 5 Tuesdays) has jumped us up a tier in monthly hosting costs. We pay for our long-winded crimes! But, that just means we have to keep putting out Top Content for you! And we pledge to do our best! Join us for a silly romp through a coup...

We're live again! Against all odds! Can you believe it?! Show Notes:   Run Time: 2:27:35 That's right, this is a long one. And that's after Trevor edited out all our extraneous nonsense! (Don't worry; he left plenty of nonsense in.) But, yeah, we were recording for over 3 hours.  We're recording on Thursday evenings now, so hopefully you can join us for live shows more often! Speaking of schedules...

The title of this episode is misleading... Show Notes: Run Time: 2: That's right, another 2+ hour episode, but we actually cover a LOT of material in that time! I promise.  We start off with some goofs, then some discussion of the method of upcoming episodes, and then we finally get into it! Re: the teaser line at the very top of this episode description, it's true that the title is leaving someth...

Who is going to space?! Run Time: 2:18:24 We crafted twice, told once for this one! We planned out the majority of this story before recording... and yet, we still crafted quite a bit of lore on the air, in a variety of ways that surprised even us! We tell the full arc of this story, and more! We just keep making things up? Clearly, we missed doing this. Next week's episode is all about the Rise o...

Time for a speedy story! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:15:49 I'll tell you, I'm not sure how it is that last week's episode ended up under 90 minutes and this one took over two hours, but here we are! We go into the publication history of Friction a bit, dig into a few of her other stories, and then start crafting this one, a brand new tale that we create entirely on the air! Oh, and because I know Walk...

Are you ready for the New Standard? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:25:36 We're back at it, and oh so happy to be here! After last week's long-awaited return to voting, we're excited to announce an upcoming schedule! For the first time in over a year!  Tuesday, June 2nd: Episode #319 - Writers' Room: A non-Vengeance Friction story Tuesday, June 9th: Episode #320 - Writers' Room: Cosmic Tales: An intense s...

A triumphant return! But is it ever that easy? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:56:53 So much to cover! We're back, we're excited, and we have so many things to share with you! We're working on more game content, more Sentinels stories, and a whole Multiverse to get spun back up on! Adam and I have not been idle, and we can't wait to give you more Multiverse to save and to savor as soon as we can. Greater...

A simple episode... about machines? Sort of? Show Notes: Run Time: 2:03:55 We dig into the past of the Order of the Simple Machine, both in comics and in our creative process. We reveal things we've never before said publicly! And then we make up new stuff, too! Join us next week for a live show! We love it when people ask questions live! Genuinely!

Let's Bust some Bunks! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:08:17 Oh no, another long one! Well, at least you get a number of villains out of it! And a couple issues! And a bunch of letters answered! So, pretty usual fare.  This story certainly didn't land at the time as the writer hoped it would, and would be remembered largely for the big robot suit fights. But hopefully you enjoyed the story! That's certain...

But just who are the April Fools, anyway? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:21:28 We (and just who is we are in unclear) do some goofs, tell some stories, and read your letters! It's just a totally normal episode!  Join us next week for more normal episode times, in which we record an episode about the Bunker Busters!  

We don't want to bug you, so please bear with us... Show Notes: 1:48:49 Adam and I kick it off with talking about how we haven't done a good job with Bugbear... and the ultimate result by the end of the episode is this cover, so, take that as you will.  Regardless, we definitely do a bunch of Bugbear work, and answer a bunch of Bugbear letters! Hopefully everyone has a better feel for the characte...

Another live show! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:06:07 Over two hours?! Yes, but just barely! Look, we had a lot to go through, and that makes us all smartthinkers, don't you think? Here's the upcoming schedule:  Tuesday, April 1st: Episode #314 - Writers' Room: A digital foe in a digital realm Tuesday, April 8th: Episode #315 - Writers' Room: Bunker Busters Tuesday, April 15th: Episode #316 - Writers'...

We're number 1! Or, at least, the issue this episode is about is #1! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:29:29 Hey! It's time to introduce a character who has been around for a long time but we've barely talked about! No, not Ra. We've said so much about him. Instead, we finally talk about Calypso! (And just in time for the upcoming Bugbear episode...) But before that, join us next week for a live show! Are y...

Vampires! In March? I guess so! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:38:25 We get to do a bunch of storytelling things in this story that we've wanted to attempt for some time and haven't really had the opportunity to do so. Does this episode mark the beginning of a new era of The Letters Page? Well, I wouldn't go THAT far. But we did have a lot of fun, and we hope you enjoy the story! Join us next week for a...

More Scions?! Sounds like a bad idea... Show Notes: Run Time: 1:57:01 We have a few ideas, but we're also creating mostly blind, which is often how we like it! We make up some Scions (and hint at others) and then answer a bunch of questions! That's how these things go! Join us next week when we kick off March with a Prime Wardens story... with vampires!

We're back and we're live and we're gonna say a bunch of things! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:05:00 We haven't talked much this month about love and/or romance, but that ends now! We're making this happen! Or, at least, we're gonna take a swing at it! Here's what we'll be talking about next month! Tuesday, March 4th: Episode #311 - Writers' Room: Prime Wardens vs the Court of Blood Tuesday, March 11th:...

What bizarre vision have we crafted this time?! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:30:08 Man, the story on this one came together QUICK! Especially for something that we knew so little about at the start. Pretty cool! And good thing, too, as there were a BUNCH of follow-up questions from a recent episode about a particular future... Join us this coming Friday for a live show! Want to watch live and even join...

K.N.Y.F.E.! No Punch! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:49:09 We may have bit off more than we can chew with this one... but we'll do our best!  Actually, it turned out really well, in our opinion, making us stretch as creators and also making Paige Huntly stretch as a character. Success! We're into February now, so 2025 is well under way, and we've got a lot we want to do this year! Bear with us! (pls help...

Come and hear tell of our PROPHES1ES! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:44:12 This one ran pretty long AND I tried to skip the banter at the beginning (entirely unsuccessfully) AND we didn't even cover every little bit of what we wanted (which we get into in the episode) AND we tried to speed up in the second half (with only marginal successful) but it's a big topic, and we've been percolating on parts of t...

We were live for the first time this year! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:32:51 Lots of goofs, silliness, mistakes, apologies, answers, justifications, and ridiculous listener interactions (encompassing interactions that are ridiculous AND listeners who are ridiculous — you know who you are), all of which means: it's another Editor's Note! Thank you all for being a part of this. We also announced the upc...

These two need to calm down. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:38:04 We come out the gates swinging with this one, telling a tale we didn't necessarily expect, including characters we hadn't planned for! And then we also read your letters! Woo! Join us this coming Friday for a live show, that is, if you're on the Letters Page Patreon !

It's snowy and cold, but it wasn't when we recorded this! The passage of time is astounding! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:44:00 We make up a few villains, as is our way, each of a different sphere of Tempest's interest and influence. The first is one we've apparently talked about before, though folks forgot, including us as well! Anyway, we talked more about her than ever before, so I'm happy with that...

Welcome to 2025, everyone! Did you think you would get a mini-sode on Tuesday, even after we expressly told you we would NOT be posting such a thing?  Well, so did we! Unfortunately, The Fates had other plans, and Trevor was laid low by the throat of strep! Thus, you get this lil snippet a couple days later. But it still counts! Instead of a very end of 2024 mini-sode, enjoy this very beginning of...

Is The Scholar simply having a wonderful Christmastime? It doesn't look like it... Show Notes: Run Time: 1:23:27 A Christmas tale on this Christmas Eve, but unlike the standard fare! We did a lot of prework on this episode so we could just get right into the telling, given the challenge of a holiday tale of a... less cheery sort. So, far from the longest episode this year, but also far from the sh...
