She's a smoooooth operator! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:12:59 New intro on today's episode! Trevor's trying out something different! What do you think? Tweet at us and let us know: @SCLettersPage After some light silliness, we get right into her not-very-light backstory.  We reference two other episodes a few times in this episode: the Mister Fixer episode , and The Chairman episode . They're both imp...

All of the wibbly-wobbly places! Times? Both! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:01:25 In this episode, we cover the particularly time-travel related environments from the world of Sentinel Comics: Silver Gulch The Final Wasteland Time Cataclysm Outside Time For each of those locations (times?!), we first give an overview, and then use your questions to dig deeper into the stories of that setting. Next week,...

You didn't even know that you wanted an episode on an intergalactic bounty hunter, and yet, here we are! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:23:43 In the first five minutes, we devolve into roleplaying as our own characters, so that sets the tone for this entire episode. You're welcome? After that, we get to Hero in the Arena #1, the true first appearance of Greazer. But the bulk of today's overview segment i...

An episode that towers head and shoulders above all others! Or does it stand as an ant among giants? Only you can tell! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:20:17 We start off by confessing our sins and solving a notable problem... or at least hinting to that problem's solution. But that allows us to move forward with Portja Kip-Pro's story! (Which we start by pointing out a problem raised by the Kaargra Warfa...

Happy New Year! Starting off this new year with a quick 2017 retrospective! First thing first, we're pushing the schedule we announced last week back by one week in order to take a chunk of time to reset and reconcile all of the tangled webs we have weaved. Woven. Woved.  Anyway! The upcoming schedule now looks like this! January 9th: Sky-Scraper January 16th: Greazer January 23rd: Time Travel Set...

To celebrate Boxing Day, let's talk about the fighters in the cosmic arena! (Yes, yes, we know that Boxing Day has nothing to do with the pugilistic sport of boxing.) Show Notes: Run Time: 1:07:06 After only a couple minutes of jawing about the holidays, your intrepid hosts get right into the history of the Bloodsworn Colosseum in the pages of Sentinel Comics. Around the twelve minute mark, we fin...

Let's talk about all manner of places in the Sentinel Comics galaxy! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:45:33 In today's episode, we cover a few notable Cosmic Settings: Wagner Mars Base Dok'Thorath Celestial Tribunal The Enclave of the Endlings With only going over four environments in this episode, we have enough time to really get into each of them. We go through them in the above order, answering your gr...

A Contest of Cosmic proportions! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:46:41 Whole lotta story going on today! Who will win? Only time will tell! I mean, actually, we're gonna tell you. In this episode. The show notes today would be pretty spoilerific, so I'm just going to give some useful timestamps here. The whole thing is story, so just listen to it! After a few minutes of banter and overview, we cover what...

We're back with an episode about brothers! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:14:22 It's been a month since we last recorded and we're thrilled to be back! We are also very excited about the release of the Starter Kit for Sentinel Comics: the Roleplaying Game ! So many thrilling things. Also! This episode goes live the morning of Tuesday, December 5th.

A creepy podcast about a creepy fellow, indeed! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:04:32 "We make things up and then are surprised when you like them." We start off with the first appearance of Biomancer in Sentinel Comics, and then get into the deeper truth behind who Biomancer really was. The truth is out there! And it's in this episode, too. We cover Biomancer's overview in under fifteen minutes. It's you...

An episode on the vital essence of most living things in Sentinel Comics! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:25:30 (A quick note on run times - I've been asked to stop listing the minutes in just minutes for episodes that take over an hour, thus the new format! Just to be entirely clear, the first number is the number of hours, the central number is number of minutes beyond that hour, and the last number is...

This is our very first settings episode, in which we talk about environments and locations from the world of Sentinel Comics! Show Notes: Run Time: 113:16 In today's episode, we cover Urban Settings such as: Megalopolis Freedom Tower Rook City Pike Industrial Complex San Alonso The Maerynian Refuge: Plavu'Col Mordengrad We start off by doing a quick rundown of each of these locations, and then we...

Of all the villains we've talked about so far, this one is possibly the most evil. Show Notes: Run Time: 113:40 To reiterate what we mention in content warning at the very start of the episode, you might not want to listen to this episode with your kids. Or, at least, pre-screen this episode for content. Spite's pretty awful. In this episode, we reference both The Wraith's episode and GloomWeaver'...

An episode about a nonsensical character who has too much power for anyone's good! Show Notes: Run Time: 103:16 Right off the bat, we talk about Cosmic Contest - want more info? Listen to last week's Editor's Note! Then, right off the bat, we hit the ground running with the story told in Wager Master's first appearance in Sentinel Comics! From there, we cover many other Wager Master stories. He's...

Yet another Editor's Note on all manner of things! Run Time: 88:39 Topics of today's Editor's Note: Other podcasts that we have claimed to do Baseball Virtuosos of the Void nicknames Absolute Zero Science! Haka La Comodora La Paradoja Magnifica The canon of the Sentinel Comics RPG La Capitan Christopher and Adam's "personas" A Limerick Boba tea Chrono-Ranger Chopping down doors CON Progeny The Hos...

Our first episode with a special guest, invited or otherwise! Show Notes: Run Time: 109:14 Our long awaited Episode 40 is here, and wow is it a strange one! We'd like to apologize right now for being so mean to Guise in this episode. He took us by surprise. We don't deal with being surprised by wise-cracking shapeshifters in our recording space very gracefully, apparently. We take our time with th...

A pharmacist, an apothecary, a teacher, and more! It's The Scholar! Show Notes: Run Time: 101:36 Everyone should go to Adam's Halloween party. Except Christopher. There are a lot of rabbit trails in today's episode, but that's mostly because The Scholar's story does a fair bit of wandering. Also, it features some depressing bits, so we wander to keep from getting too down. Fastest transition to th...

Like last week, another character with wings and a sword! Unlike last week, this one's a villain! Show Notes: Run Time: 108:51 Much like the Fanatic episode, we recommend not listening to more than the first 5 minutes of this episode if knowing the truth of Fanatic and Apostate would ruin the characters for you. We do brief overview type stuff before getting into the dark truths of Apostate, but a...

It's everyone's favorite avenging angel! Show Notes: Run Time: 86:49 This is a big one, folks. Not a super long one, but a big one, nonetheless. The first sixteen minutes of the podcast are focused on covering who Fanatic is, how she grew up, how her powers manifested, and a couple of her early notable stories. Then, we give a notable disclaimer that I'm going to reiterate here: if knowing the nit...

It's the first ever Editor's Note! This is where we fill in the corners and answer any lingering questions.

Avast, ye mangy bilge-rats! It's about time for some temporal piracy! Show Notes: Run Time: 119:15 Managed to keep this one just barely under 2 hours! Sorry about last week! We start by announcing that Interludes are dead - long live Editor's Notes! They will be about the same, but we'll no longer do Thursday episodes with in-depth story content, such as the Slaughterhouse Six Interlude. As promis...

Let's talk about the Southwest Sentinels! And then Void Guard! Show Notes: Run Time: 198:12 This is our longest and strangest episode ever. By far. In a lot of ways. Our fault for doing an episode about four different characters covering two teams. Also, no interlude this Thursday - we packed everything into this one episode.  Knowing that this episode would go long, right off the bat, we ask Trev...
