Surprise! No episode this week, and yet we still put out a little something!
By now, I'm sure that's not at all surprising, since we do something like this everytime, but each one unique! This one shows off just how good Trevor is at stuff, and also gives you a little insight into Christopher's other podcast, the Play Greater Podcast!
We're newly back from Gen Con, but the dust has HARDLY settled. Next week's episode will be the audio recording of this year's Gen Con live show, and then all you Letters Page Patreon folks can join us the following Friday for a live Editor's Note! And if you're not a Letters Page Patreon person, maybe consider becoming one today!
See you soon!
We're off to Gen Con! Here's a space story!
Show Notes:
Run Time: 1:39:07
We're happy to be here, and we're also happy to be going to Gen Con! If you're in the Indianapolis area on this coming Sunday, August 6th, at noon, come to Stadium Room 12 and join us for a live show!
However, before that, we go to space with our most oft-character-changing hero, Parse!
Oh, and because Adam had to make that poster for the comic book cover anyway, here's a "clean" version of it:
No episode next week, because of Gen Con! See you after the dust settles!
The nicest fellow and the edgiest twins, but as 90s as all get out!
Show Notes:
Run Time: 1:35:13
We come in with no concrete ideas... and yet hit the ground running on a three part story sure to shock and amaze! Heroes! Cults! Thrills and spills! We've got 'em all, and more!
We also read letters, answer questions, and leave frustrating crumbs about future content in unplanned ways, as per usual!
Join us next week: Tuesday, August 1st: Episode #257 - Writers’ Room: Parse in space! And then... GEN CON!!
We're here to have a nice time!
Show Notes:
Run Time: 1:26:24
Christopher's been traveling! He did some livestreams with the Penny Arcade crew last week, and here's the one of them he promised to put in the show notes!
Adam and Christopher are getting ready to travel to Gen Con! It's gonna be a good time! We hope as many of you as possible can attend the Gen Con Live recording of The Letters Page! There will be at least one special musical guest!
Speaking of Gen Con, it messed up our regular schedule notably. Check it out!
Upcoming schedule:
Tuesday, August 1st: Episode #257 - Writers’ Room: Parse in space
Tuesday, August 8th: NO EPISODE BECAUSE GEN CON
Tuesday, August 15th: Gen Con Live 2023!
Tuesday, August 22nd: Editor’s Note #70
Tuesday, August 29th: Episode #258 - Writers’ Room: Tabitha Taft defeats an Alpha foe
Finally, we get into questions and answers, and provide plenty of both!
Join us next week for Episode #256 in which The Scholar interacts with Darkstrife & Painstake! Darkstrife AND Painstake?! In this economy?! You better believe it.
A new Citizen?!
Show Notes:
Run Time: 1:35:40
It's been a while since we've talked about Citizen Dawn related stuff. Can she survive this return to her stories?! Villainy is afoot!
This story has a decent amount of musing and live creation, and I think that's nice! Do you enjoy that sort of thing? We hope so!
Join us next week for Editor's Note #69, and if you're part of the Letters Page Patreon, join us this Friday for the livestream... but not at the normal time of 11 AM, no no! This Friday's livestream will be at 3:00 PM, Central time! We hope you can join us for it!
Ambuscade is gonna win!
And also, a second cover!
Show Notes:
Run Time: 1:38:41
We try to skip the banter, and only sort of succeed. Places to be! Stories to tell! And tell, we do!
Lots of Ambuscade questions. This Ansel G. Moreau guy is popular!
Join us next week for Episode #255, all about the Citizens of the Sun Civil War!
This episode is a bit shorter than average these days... but we talk about several issues of Sentinel Comics, so that makes up for it, right?
Show Notes:
Run Time: 1:10:51
We start off with some jokes, some banter, that sort of thing, but then we gotta get down to business! Stories to be told!
The original prompt was "Greazer in La Comodora's brig". Did we answer that prompt? We certainly attempt to do so! Several times! But... did we do it!? Who can say.
Want more access? Want to make decisions about the future of The Letters Page Sure you do! That sounds fun, right? Join our Patreon community and make the important choices about what we do next!
Join us next week for an event called "La Gloire!" Hear us attempt and fail to smoothly pronounce French words! What more could you ask for?
Note note note note!
Show Notes:
Run Time: 1:25:06
Before getting into Meta questions and Meta Meta questions, we are once again awed at how long we've been doing this, then do some goofs, and finally talk about the schedule!
Upcoming schedule:
- Tuesday, July 4th: Episode #254 - Writers’ Room: Ambuscade vs the Prime Wardens
- Tuesday, July 11th: Episode #255 - Writers’ Room: Citizens of the Sun Civil War
- Tuesday, July 18th: Editor’s Note #69
- Tuesday, July 25th: Episode #256 - Writers’ Room: The Scholar encounters Darkstrife and Painstake
Then we answer questions, both from letters and from the chat!
Speaking of the chat, those who get to attend live by being Patreon supporters get to see us do an extra 10-20 minutes of stuff before the show recording starts, including some (bad) drawing and additional goofs. Today's episode pre-show included a surprise special guest that genuinely surprised Adam! Trevor captured Adam's reaction perfectly with this screenshot:
It's Nolan Nasser! Want to know more? Patreon supporters don't just get access to the live shows — they can go back and watch the streams from every live show, not just the ones in the time they've been a supporter! So joining now gives you access to the rest of this episode's video, plus all other videos from as far back as we've been doing them! Just something to consider.
See you next week for Episode #253 - Writers’ Room: Greazer in La Comodora’s Brig!
It's gritty time!
Show Notes:
Run Time: 1:30:13
We start with some goofs and chats, and then we get right into it, telling a story designed to make you feel good about the world and humanity! All is well!
A note on that brilliant cover that Adam drew and the name of the episode. During the episode, we posited just when the issue might land, and we were mostly right, but off by a little. Fortunately, our eagle-eyed listeners noticed an issue while Adam was livestreaming his drawing of that cover, which gave us the opportunity to shift the issue number slightly, clearing up any potential conflicts. So, that is accurately Issue #93 of Vol. 2 of Mystery Comics!
Join us next week for an Editor's Note, and if you're on the Letters Page Patreon, you can join us this Friday morning at 11 AM Central for the live recording of said Editor's Note!
Our earliest story ever! And it even has a backup story! Let's get golden!
Show Notes:
Run Time: 1:22:00
We do some banter, then tell some tales! We know a lot about this one, but there are still many details that can be discovered on the air, and we seek them out! Plus some unexpected twists!
A shorter question section than usual, but that's OK! It happens sometimes.
If you haven't seen the cover for this episode, I highly recommend checking it out! It's the earliest cover Adam has drawn, so far. The covers are always in the show notes, and some podcast apps show them, but others don't. But they're always visible at our website!
