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 important to this one, so worth giving a quick listen to, though we do rehash a lot of the important points from both of those episodes.

Lots of things to talk about with this lady. She's had quite a few twists and turns in her story. The overview in total is under half an hour, but it's jam packed with story and action! Plus, there's even more story that we saved for some juicy questions in the Q&A portion of the show.

Speaking of which, just after the 27 minute mark we dive into your questions.

Fun bit of Stuntman story a bit before the hour mark. Just so you know. 

We start the future segment right after the 1:04 mark. We have more Mist Storm Universe stuff than usual for her, as she plays some important roles and for reasons we've never publicly discussed before!

Then, we go on to actually reveal some Sentinel Comics Universe story stuff that is also brand new information. We must be feeling generous.

Next week is the Supernatural Settings episode, featuring such bizarre environments as Madame Mittermeier's Fantastical Festival of Conundrums and Curiosities, Tomb of Anubis, Realm of Discord, Nexus of the Void, and (relevant to this episode) the Temple of Zhu Long. Get your questions in now!

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, we'll be talking all about The Operative, so get your questions in now!

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 is the discussion of the book "Greazer", which we go over page-by-page of the first few issues. The secret history of Greazer Clutch!

45 minutes into the episode, we get to your questions!

During those questions, we realize that tomorrow is the 1 year anniversary of The Letters Page! Hooray! Space Champagne for everyone!

Then, just after the one hour and 18 minute mark, we wrap up by talking about the future.

See you next time!

(Send us your questions about The Operative!)

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 Warfang episode, and then solving it. We're problem solvers!)

But then we're back on track!

Stories include, Hero in the Arena, Under Cover, the Return of Vengeance, and so much more!

Then, we get into your question 33 minutes in. Lots of interesting info in the questions, today!

Next week is Greazer! Get your questions in now!

Happy New Year!

Starting off this new year with a quick 2017 retrospective!

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 finally tell an integral part of the Tony Taurus story.

Then, on to more and different tales of the Bloodsworn!

We start in on your questions a few minutes before the half hour mark. And we start off with a true and proper backstory!

And then, around the 34 minute mark, we talk about a thing we messed up.

A few minutes before the hour mark, we tell the backstory of a character you've seen before, but never heard of! She's a piece of Sentinel Comics history!

Next week is Sky-Scraper, so get your questions in now! See you Thursday for an Editor's Note all about the Cosmic Contest.

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 great questions on each setting as we cover that environment.

The cosmic place we talk about the least this week is the Bloodsworn Colosseum, which is the topic of next week's episode! Send in your questions now!

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 all of the tiers and brackets contain, and then get right into going through each of the fights in Round One.

Coverage of Round Two begins at around the one hour and 8 minutes mark. The fights start getting more intense now!

We begin Round Three right before the one hour, 40 minutes mark. Everything's really heating up now! This round determines the winner of each tier!

With those winners determined, we move on to the Quarter Finals at an hour and 52 minutes in, with the last characters standing from each tier facing the winner from the opposing tier.

The Semi-Finals begin at 2:02:12. Just two matches here and then it's time for the finals! 

The Final match to win it all begins at the two hours, 11 minutes mark. Whew. What a contest!

We dig into your questions around two hours and 20 minutes.

Did you win? As we discuss around 2:37:37, if you submitted a winning entry, let us know at letterspage@greaterthangames.com!

See you next week!
