A simple episode... about machines? Sort of?

Show Notes:

Run Time: 2:03:55

We dig into the past of the Order of the Simple Machine, both in comics and in our creative process. We reveal things we've never before said publicly! And then we make up new stuff, too!

Join us next week for a live show! We love it when people ask questions live! Genuinely!

Let's Bust some Bunks!

Show Notes:

Run Time: 2:08:17

Oh no, another long one! Well, at least you get a number of villains out of it! And a couple issues! And a bunch of letters answered! So, pretty usual fare. 

This story certainly didn't land at the time as the writer hoped it would, and would be remembered largely for the big robot suit fights. But hopefully you enjoyed the story! That's certainly one of our main goals.

Join us next week for an episode about your favorite Wraith fighting your favorite Order of the Simple Machines! (We're pretty sure you don't have any other favorite Orders of the Simple Machines. Pretty sure.)

But just who are the April Fools, anyway?

Show Notes:

Run Time: 1:21:28

We (and just who is we are in unclear) do some goofs, tell some stories, and read your letters! It's just a totally normal episode! 

Join us next week for more normal episode times, in which we record an episode about the Bunker Busters!

We don't want to bug you, so please bear with us...

Show Notes:

1:48:49

Adam and I kick it off with talking about how we haven't done a good job with Bugbear... and the ultimate result by the end of the episode is this cover, so, take that as you will. 

Regardless, we definitely do a bunch of Bugbear work, and answer a bunch of Bugbear letters! Hopefully everyone has a better feel for the character now!

We're about to head into April! Hold on tight!

Another live show!

Run Time: 2:06:07

Over two hours?! Yes, but just barely! Look, we had a lot to go through, and that makes us all smartthinkers, don't you think?

Here's the upcoming schedule: 

• Tuesday, April 1st: Episode #314 - Writers' Room: A digital foe in a digital realm

• Tuesday, April 8th: Episode #315 - Writers' Room: Bunker Busters

• Tuesday, April 15th: Episode #316 - Writers' Room: Wraith vs the Order of the Simple Machines

• Tuesday, April 22nd: Editor’s Note #90 SCIENCE

• Tuesday, April 29th: Episode #317 - Writers' Room: A Day in the Life: Benchmark

We finally get through a backlog of questions from a very smart thinking listener, and we also take a pile of live questions from the chat!

Join us next week for a Bugbear story!

We're number 1! Or, at least, the issue this episode is about is #1!

Show Notes:

Run Time: 1:29:29

Hey! It's time to introduce a character who has been around for a long time but we've barely talked about! No, not Ra. We've said so much about him. Instead, we finally talk about Calypso! (And just in time for the upcoming Bugbear episode...)

But before that, join us next week for a live show! Are you on The Patreon? You should be! Join us!

Vampires! In March? I guess so!

Show Notes:

Run Time: 1:38:25

We get to do a bunch of storytelling things in this story that we've wanted to attempt for some time and haven't really had the opportunity to do so. Does this episode mark the beginning of a new era of The Letters Page? Well, I wouldn't go THAT far. But we did have a lot of fun, and we hope you enjoy the story!

Join us next week for a Writers' Room episode about Calpyso and Ra!

More Scions?! Sounds like a bad idea...

Show Notes:

Run Time: 1:57:01

We have a few ideas, but we're also creating mostly blind, which is often how we like it! We make up some Scions (and hint at others) and then answer a bunch of questions! That's how these things go!

Join us next week when we kick off March with a Prime Wardens story... with vampires!

We're back and we're live and we're gonna say a bunch of things!

Show Notes:

Run Time: 2:05:00

We haven't talked much this month about love and/or romance, but that ends now! We're making this happen! Or, at least, we're gonna take a swing at it!

Here's what we'll be talking about next month!

• Tuesday, March 4th: Episode #311 - Writers' Room: Prime Wardens vs the Court of Blood

• Tuesday, March 11th: Episode #312 - Writers' Room: Calypso vs. Ra

• Tuesday, March 18th: Editor’s Note #89

• Tuesday, March 25th: Episode #313 - Writers' Room: A Bugbear Story

Love, meta things, meta-meta things, and more! In just over two hours! What more could you ask for?

A couple of papers about a programming language with Sentinels references? Deal! Look here and here!

Join us next week for a Scionic Creative Process!

What bizarre vision have we crafted this time?!

Show Notes:

Run Time: 1:30:08

Man, the story on this one came together QUICK! Especially for something that we knew so little about at the start. Pretty cool! And good thing, too, as there were a BUNCH of follow-up questions from a recent episode about a particular future...
