The Letters Page

Oh no, Mr. Fixer! What now?! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:28:21 We start with barely a concept on this one and just build as we go. Pretty pleased with how it went, but I don't think we'd have called how it turned out from the beginning! We have some Mr. Fixer questions today, as well as a few letters about various Discord/Disparation stuff. Thought provoking stuff! We do our best to provide satisfactory answers. Do we succeed? You tell me! Join us next week for a Mr. Jitters story! Make a run for the border!

We got a live one here! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:06:39 We had fun and a good deal of audience interaction with this one! Always a good time. Here's the upcoming schedule: Tuesday, November 2nd: Episode #193 - Writers' Room: Disparation: Oni Mr. Fixer Tuesday, November 9th: Episode #194 - Writers' Room: A Mr. Jitters story Tuesday, November 16th: Episode #195 - Creative Process: Underworlds — hells, demon dimensions, and more! Tuesday, November 23rd: Editor’s Note #50 Tuesday, November 30th: Episode #196 - Writers' Room: Haunted Fanatic In this Editor's Note, we talk about a bunch of things, including: A birthday OblivAeon Maths Murders Bros Ages Democracy And more! Join us next time for a Disparation episode about Mr. Fixer and something something Oni something?!

The newest, youngest, RPGest team! And a spooooky adventure! Show Notes:  Run Time: 1:36:31 Gotta say, we had a lot of fun delving into a lighter fare (but still spooky and frankly pretty dark) story with our Daybreak friends! But yeah, we managed to make it weird, even still. This Friday is an Editor's Note! Join us live if you're part of the Letters Page Patreon! We hope to "see" you all there for a Very Halloween Editor's Note!

Something wicked (awesome) this way comes! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:27:09 Adam and I recorded TWO episodes on the same day, and they're both great! You'll only get to hear one of them today — you'll have to wait a week to hear the other. Don't worry! The wait will be worth it. Lots happens in this episode, including going into WAY more issues than just the one pictured above. Why? What about? Involving WHOM?! I mean, this episode was promised to involve both witches and at least ONE werewolf, and it does! But what else? Well, you'll just have to listen and find out! Join us next time, when we tell a Daybreak Halloween story! But don't send in letters for that one — it's already recorded! Instead, send in letters for the following Editor's Note, and the episode after that one: a Disparation story involving Oni Mr. Fixer! Stay spooky, kids!

Let the spookiness commence! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:13:48 We start off by talking about a different comic: Disparation Vol. 1 #21... but that's not the issue for today's Writers' Room! Listen and find out! At the end of the episode, we mention that this week — on Friday, October 8th — we'll be recording the next TWO episodes! So, get your questions for the "Witches and Werewolves: Harpy and Alpha" and "Daybreak Halloween Special" Writers' Room episodes in now!

We're back to regular time! Sort of! Don't worry about it! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:22:58 We're about to get a couple months of spooky! Here's the upcoming schedule for October AND November! Tuesday, October 5th: Episode #190 - Writers' Room: Post Oracle of Discord Tuesday, October 12th: Episode #191 - Writers' Room: Witches and Werewolves: Harpy and Alpha Tuesday, October 19th: Episode #192 - Writers' Room: Daybreak Halloween Special Tuesday, October 26th: Editor’s Note #49 Tuesday, November 2nd: Episode #193 - Writers' Room: Disparation: Oni Mr. Fixer Tuesday, November 9th: Episode #194 - Writers' Room: A Mr. Jitters story Tuesday, November 16th: Episode #195 - Creative Process: Underworlds — hells, demon dimensions, and more! Tuesday, November 23rd: Editor’s Note #50 Tuesday, November 30th: Episode #196 - Writers' Room: Haunted Fanatic Wow! That's a lot of topics! And how many of them will be scary? Only time will tell! We hope you enjoy the next several weeks as much as we will! As we mention near the en

What's this? Something unexpected?!  No, not really. We mentioned it at the end of last week's episode: I was at Gen Con last week for meetings and such, but GTG wasn't there as a company, so no Gen Con Live this year. Hopefully next year! Oh, and I guess there's a letters section? I didn't know anything about this in advance. Well, we'll just see what happens. Join us next week (or this Friday if you're a Letters Page Patreon supporter) for a regular-style-but-a-week-late Editor's Note, in which we'll also unveil the rest of the schedule for October AND November! Exciting! Spoooooky!

Glue pun! Show Notes:  Run Time: 1:17:44 There is less history to this character than many, but that doesn't stop us! If anything, we're excited to build him out! Especially with all the great folks that have given to much to The Adhesivist. Not sure what I'm talking about here? Listen and find out! At the end of the episode, we talk about how the schedule is about to get weird: rather than the regularly scheduled Editor's Note #48, we'll have a interlude-type-thing, just for fun. Then, the NEXT week will be the Editor's Note, followed by Episode #189, though now off by a week. Which is OK! Everything will be fine! The Patreon supporters are already hard at work, voting for the episodes they want to hear in October AND November! If you're on the Letters Page Patreon, go vote now! And, if you're not a Patreon supporter, you can be, and immediately get access to that voting! What are you waiting for? Get in there! We'll catch you next time!

The life of a man who has touched the lives of many. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:22:54 Adam and I are excited to finally work through this limited series! It's got a lot of creative folks on it, and it's fun for us to work with an ensemble creative cast. We hope you enjoy listening in! After about 44 minutes of story telling, we get into your questions! On a variety of topics! Not so much this episode, but that's not a huge deal.  Join us next week for a Creative Process episode we're referring to as "A Sticky Subject" ...it's all about Adhesivist!

The kids are alright! Or are they? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:27:25 What sort of mess are these two going to get themselves into? And how will they get out of it? You'll just have to listen and find out! Thank you all for supporting our ENNIES Awards nominations with your votes! We really appreciate it! Join us next time for a Writers' Room about an issue of Engine Block Blues!

This one has both Dave Chalker AND Jennifer Closson! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:36:05 First things first: this is now an ENNIE Award nominated podcast?! That's amazing! Read more here, and then GO VOTE! Then, we talk about Dave's family fun sharktacular cards and robots game, Get Bit! Now on Kickstarter! Go check it out! Then, we finally talk about the upcoming schedule: Tuesday, September 7th: Episode #188 - Writers' Room: An issue of Engine Block Blues Tuesday, September 14th: Episode #189 - Creative Process: A Sticky Subject: all about Adhesivist Tuesday, September 21st: Editor’s Note #48 Tuesday, September 28th: Episode #190 - Writers' Room: Post Oracle of Discord Revelations in Canon Reality And then, we go read your letters! In the questions section, we do have some spoilers for a couple adventures. Trevor does a magical thing with my voice just after the 28 minute mark to indicate the timestamp of when you should skip ahead to avoid spoilers! What?! Trevor can make me say whatever he wants now? Is any o

Finally, you get to see the Soothsayer himself, and on a comic cover, at that! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:30:54 So, we do some goofs, but then the story came together... so quickly? Whoops? It's OK — we spend extra time in the question section, as a result! A very important thing happened last week while we were recording this episode! We here at Greater Than Games were nominated for several ENNIES! Learn more in this blog post I made yesterday. Two big things: this podcast was one of the nominations, so this is now an Ennie Award Nominated podcast! Can we win an Ennie? That's up to YOU! Voting runs Wednesday, August 18th through the 27th! The second thing: the Sentinel Comics RPG got a bunch of nominations, so that's what the upcoming Bullpen will be about, which we're recording live this coming Friday! Come join us!

Greetings from the distant past! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:33:34 What ancient words you hear now... can this hoary old record still hope to have any relevance in this new world of today? Well, let's see! After some goofs (or are they seriouses?!), we go into making up villains for our favorite gun-toting cyclops! (I mean, first we do on-topic goofs, because, how could we not?) After about an hour of villain creation, we take your questions! What do we do with them? Nothing responsible! Join us next time for a team-up Writers' Room between your favorite misty magician and your also favorite grumpy arcane academic!

La Comodora and Chrono-Ranger visit the Extremeverse! Or is it the Xtremeverse? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:36:42 Adam's got house problems, but that's not going to stop us from getting EXTREME! But first! Some spelling disputes. Then, we tell a whole set of stories! More than we expected! We bounce between a few different issues. All over the top. We hope you enjoy them. And then the questions ALSO get XTREME! Trevor does a great job with the episode, as usual.  Join us next week for a Creative Process episode about Expatriette Foes! However, we're recording that episode the same day this episode comes out, in the evening, so if you don't have letters in within the first few hours after this episode is posted, then instead get us letters about the next episode after that: Writers' Room: NightMist & Soothsayer Carmichael Team-Up! Woo!

Biomancer is back, but with a more explained plan than ever before! Still not THAT much explanation, though. It's still Biomancer. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:29:54 We're excited to bring you another Biomancer story. He's very much a "sometimes food", but we enjoy it when it comes up. We do some goofs, figure out where/when in the history of Sentinel Comics this issue lands, and tell the various parts of this story, all of which takes just over half an hour! We're getting pretty good at this.  Then, we get into a ton of mostly-Biomancer focused questions. Go figure that such an enigmatic figure would raise so many questions. Join us next week for a Disparation Writers' Room all about La Comodora in the Extremeverse! Get your questions in now!

Let's get into SCRPG questions! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:36:29 Christopher and Adam are joined by Dave Chalker and Chris Burton! They answer So Many Questions about the Sentinel Comics RPG and more! Here's the upcoming schedule:  Tuesday, August 3rd: Episode #184 - Writers' Room: Disparation: La Comodora in the Extremeverse Tuesday, August 10th: Episode #185 - Creative Process: Expatriette Foes Tuesday, August 17th: Episode #186 - Writers' Room: NightMist & Soothsayer Carmichael Team-Up Tuesday, August 24th: Bullpen #5 Tuesday, August 31st: Episode #187 - Writers' Room: Setback & Harpy Team-Up --- See you next time!    

Time for a quick switcheroo! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:25:22 Let's swap some bodies! Just who will get swapped, and to what end? The cover above gives at least a little of it away, but not enough to ruin the story... not by a long shot!  After about 38 minutes of storytelling (sprinkled liberally with goofs), we get to your questions, which range far and wide! High and low! Inside and outside! Cats and dogs, living together!  Join us next Tuesday, July 20th, for Bullpen #4! OR! If you're on the Letters Page Patreon, join us live on Friday, July 16th! Come talk to Dave! And a special guest! And Adam, but with Dave's voice! And more!

The fireworks are still going off here! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:36:41 We do some small talk, and even a bit of medium talk, and then we get into the story!  By "story" I mean, slogging through coming up with versions of the heroes for the tale. Once we've got those, everything else goes smoothly. That's how it goes! Lots of questions on a variety of topics, which we get into at around the 51 minute mark. Join us next time, where we tell a Body Swap story!

Let's talk about the people who get revamped into Catastrophe and Verge in the Vertex timeline! (Now there's an "inside baseball" statement!) Show Notes: Run Time: 1:38:34 We're flying blind for this one! Rather than coming at it with an idea of where we're going, we just knew that we needed to fill some story gaps. And we did it! Plus, came up with some content that you'll see in the future... Thanks for joining us! Get your questions in for our historic look at a hero team, with Episode #181 - Writers’ Room: Disparation: Freedom Four 1776!

It's that time again! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:13:03 More episodes next month? Yes, indeed! Upcoming schedule: Tuesday, July 6th: Episode #181 - Writers’ Room: Disparation: Freedom Four 1776 Tuesday, July 13th: Episode #182 - Writers’ Room: A Body Swap Story Tuesday, July 20th: Bullpen #4 Tuesday, July 27th: Episode #183 - Writers’ Room: Clone-Ranger vs CON You might note that next month brings us another Bullpen! We'll be talking about some SCRPG stuff then, so Dave will be on the show once again, as will a special guest! Who will it be? Hopefully not Guise! This episode, we talk about: Lingering OblivAeon questions NightMist Portal Fiends Biomancer Names Magic creatures Magic users Both Neither and more! We'll catch you...   ...next time!
