The last live show of the year! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:26:04 Here at the end of the year, we cover so many different topics! Certainly a wide variety of things, and not a singular focus... Anyway, here's what we're talking about at the start of next year! Tuesday, January 7th: Episode #305 - Creative Process: Tempest Foes Tuesday, January 14th: Episode #306 - Writers' Room: Bloodless Wraith and H...

Necrosis is gross! Can Akash'Thriya do anthing about it?! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:10:34 The shortest episode we've recorded in a long time! But not because we short-change the story or anything; it just turned out that way.  This coming Friday is our last show of 2024! Come join us for an end-of-year Editor's Note! Everyone on our Patreon can watch, and Contributors can join in the live chat. We h...

Let's get STICKY! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:42:56 Will this be the final moment of Setback?! How can he survive such a defeat?!?! You'll just have to listen to find out! We've already recorded next week's episode about Akash'Thriya and Necrosis, but the following week will be the last Editor's Note of the year, followed by a Santa Scholar holiday episode! If you're at PAX Unplugged this weekend, com...

Wait, this is a Creative Process? But then why does it have this cover...? Show Notes: Run Time: 2:37:13 Yup, another 2+ hour episode, and you'll hear why once you start listening! We definitely set out to make a Writers' Room, but it ended up being a bunch of lightning round Writers' Rooms! Whoops? Sorry? (Not really sorry.) Do we answer the question of "Who is Deathfiend?" Yes! And no. But also...

Good morning, everyone! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:53:03 A long Editor's Note! What is happening?! And it's not just because of the frankly-not-good-radio unboxing at the end of the recording! But first, the upcoming schedule: Tuesday, December 3rd: Episode #302 - Writers' Room: Setback vs The Adhesivist Tuesday, December 10th: Episode #303 - Writers' Room: Akash'Thriya vs Necrosis Tuesday, December...

A long episode for our three-hundredth! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:38:08 A big episode, indeed! We come in with a hint of a plan, tell a couple stories, and then go to the Letters section, where we tell even more stories! If you're on the Letters Page Patreon , you can join us this coming Friday for a live show! And if you're not on the Patreon... consider joining? It's a great time! Check it out !

Let's get Rambly! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:52:13 This one is a DOOZY! Rambler, Biomancer, even GloomWeaver?! And we come into it cold and do it all live?! Spooky month, indeed! We hope you enjoy it — we certainly did! Next week is a live show, so consider joining our Patreon at any level so you can join us live! Contributors can be in the chat with comments, questions, and more!  And, most importan...

The Delusional Comedy! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:47:16 Guise is back! And he's extra ridiculous! As per usual! We find our hero in unexpected realms accompanied by a  mysterious guide and dealing with Guise's worst nemeses: the consequences of his own actions. How horrible! With this episode, we wrap up the spooky month of October... and move into the even spookier month of November! Send us questio...

So many things to talk about! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:37:41 We cover a bunch of topics before even getting to the schedule! Including these yarn fellas! OmKnitron-X: The Savage Hook-a: FaKnitic: Updates on Crochet-Ranger: And then, we get to the schedule! Here it is: Tuesday, November 5th: Episode #299 - Writers' Room: Rambler vs Biomancer Tuesday, November 12th: Episode #300 - Writers' Room: Vill...

He's a man... alone... nowhere and nowhen... and he's got a metal arm... Show Notes: Run Time: 1:28:38 This one shot hearkens forward to the Time Trust One-Shot that we recently discussed, but that's just how life works sometimes! Just seems like it's the season of La Comodora and Chrono-Ranger and friends, I guess! We tell a tale that involves a few tales, and then we answer your letters! And the...

Wait, not Darkstrife AND Painstake, Darkstrife  VS Painstake?! Oh no... Show Notes: Run Time: 2:04:55 AND it's another long one?! Man, that must have been a helluva recording day. (It was.) We make up some new people, some new lore, some new mythos... look, we've gotta let loose once in a while, y'know? We also read your letters and answer your questions! The normal stuff! We're excited to talk to...

In space, no one can hear you control the weather... Show Notes: Run Time: 2:00:09 Another two hour episode? Must mean we were recording two episodes in one day again! (That's exactly what happened, in fact!)  Welcome to the first of two spooky months! I hope you're ready for so many spooky times! (And some non-spooky times, as well.) This one we really went all out for, in terms of crafting a tal...

The Southwest Sentinels? From Sentinel Comics?! In  this podcast?! You'd better believe it! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:36:19 We talk about a bunch of issues, story arcs, events, and characters! But then we do also tell a proper Writers' Room style story. And Adam drew a WILD cover! Awesome.  We're about to record two episodes this coming Friday, so send us your questions about Tempest, horror in spac...

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 upcom...

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 st...

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 plen...

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...

Another live show?! In the same month?! Wild. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:41:22 A fun time was had! Plus, we told some true tales, like what we'll be talking about next month! Upcoming schedule:  Tuesday, September 3rd: Episode #292 - Writers' Room: Sky-Scraper and Fashion team-up Tuesday, September 10th: Episode #293 - Writers' Room: Time Trust Tuesday, September 17th: Editor's Note #83 Tuesday, Sept...

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...

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 f...

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 — ev...

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...

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!
