Episode #297 - Writers' Room: Lone Gun One-Shot 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 then talk about a cover! As is tradition! Before all that, we talked about an item (or items, rather) that I'd gotten in German from the fan one one particular nocturnal (he's not actually nocturnal) serpent (again, probably not technically a serpent). Do you want to see them? Show up for next week's live Editor's Note recording, and I'll show them on camera! Available to all members at any level! Something to look forward to, for certain. Until then, keep on saving the Multiverse, everyone! /episode/index/show/theletterspage/id/33460417

Episode #296 - Writers' Room: Mystery Comics Vol. 2 #278 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 you about La Comodora's First Appearance soon, as well as a live show soon after that! Send us your questions! /episode/index/show/theletterspage/id/33372262

Episode #295 - Writers' Room: Cosmic Tales Vol. 2 #188 10/01/2024

Episode #295 - Writers' Room: Cosmic Tales Vol. 2 #188 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 tale wholecloth on the air. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Next week's episode (which is about Darkstrife and Painstake) is already in the bag, but definitely send in questions for La Comodora's first appearance AND the upcoming Guise in hell episodes! And if you're going to be in Essen, Germany this weekend, come by our booth in Hall 2 and say hi! I'll be there running games of Defenders of the Realms and/or Compile! /episode/index/show/theletterspage/id/33274562

We're about to record two episodes this coming Friday, so send us your questions about Tempest, horror in space, Darkstrife and/or Painstake! Thanks for listening and being part of the Multiverse! /episode/index/show/theletterspage/id/33180732

Editor's Note #83 09/17/2024

Editor's Note #83 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 upcoming schedule for the first of the spooky months! Upcoming schedule: Tuesday, October 1st: Episode #295 - Writers’ Room: Tempest horror story in space Tuesday, October 8th: Episode #296 - Writers’ Room: Darkstrife vs. Painstake Tuesday, October 15th: Episode #297 - Writers’ Room: La Comodora's first appearance Tuesday, October 22nd: Editor’s Note #84 Tuesday, October 29th: Episode #298 - Writers’ Room: Guise goes to hell We'll be recording two of those episodes in the same week.

And then? Questions? In the form of letters? And also the form of messages in our Discord?! You better believe it. Next week is Episode #294 - Writers’ Room: Southwest Sentinels #31, so also send in letters about those friendly fellows and their foes! Please do! See you all next time! /episode/index/show/theletterspage/id/33085497

Episode #293 - Writers' Room: Time Trust One-Shot 09/10/2024

Episode #293 - Writers' Room: Time Trust One-Shot 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 standard, after all. Join us this coming Friday for a live Editor's Note! Editor's Note number 83, in fact! /episode/index/show/theletterspage/id/32984937

Episode #292 - Writers' Room: Cosmic Tales Vol. 2 #525 & #526 09/03/2024

Episode #292 - Writers' Room: Cosmic Tales Vol. 2 #525 & #526 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 plenty of tale told in the episode! Plus, who doesn't love more Dr. Kronz? Join us next week for a Writer's Room about the Time Trust one-shot! /episode/index/show/theletterspage/id/32873297

Episode #291 - Creative Process: Benchmark Foes 08/27/2024

Episode #291 - Creative Process: Benchmark Foes 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 about the sorts of foes that Benchmark faces and make up some new ones! And also answer many questions! We already recorded next week's episode, but as we mention at the end of the episode, the following week we'll be talking about Time Trust, so get your questions in for that story now! /episode/index/show/theletterspage/id/32755792

Editor's Note #82 08/20/2024

Editor's Note #82 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!

Episode #290 - Writers' Room: Justice Comics #722 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! /episode/index/show/theletterspage/id/32339157

Thus is the way just before Gen Con. I explain "chin tucks" which makes for terrible radio, but and are some better explanations! Tuck your chins!
