Making a new thread for folks to suggest Topics for the Letters Page to cover, with the idea being that topics suggested here would then be posted on the Patreon the next time Topic Submissions are open. Not everyone is A) a Patron, or B) filled with their own ideas for topics to suggest.
If this takes off, maybe an admin could sticky this post so it is always available as time goes on?
I Helped!
Bassed on the theory that all the printed RPG adventures are based on Sentinels Comics published by the company- How did the official cannon stories of each adventure go? (obviously long after the adventure has been out)
Writers room - A Freedom Five issue from back when Haka was a member
Creative Process? - Other than Unity what scene or element from the old Freedom Five cartoon has most often been referenced in comics or other media ( Real world the Hall of Justice and Legion of Doom Darth Vader head base from Super Friends are reused a lot and the new cartoon created characters of Black Vulcan, Samurai, Apache Chief , and Eldorado are often referenced)

Writers' Room Topics:

I have but two desires.
A one-off Writer's Room -- emphasis on the ONE -- where Adam and Christopher write what's considered to be the worst issues in the metaverse. I'm not saying it has to be the one where Fanatic tries out other religions, but that's along the lines of quality and fan reaction I'm talking here.
Just one issue.
And then we never have to do it again.
Also this, of course:
I've been fascinated by the Termi-Nation event for some time, specifically, the aspect where in that story the Freedom Five is starting to have second thoughts about the government's intentions and struggles with doing the right thing in the face of seemingly questionable orders. I'd love to see the story fully fleshed out with Legacy, Bunker, and Tachyon's reactions to that scenario.
Damn, knew I missed an important one!
Yes, I'd absolutely like a full breakdown of the Termi-Nation event and the repercussions therefrom...
Maggie and I talked about this once on YouTube but- Adam as art director going through the RPG to point out what was his art and what was done by others and what direction he had given to the contracted artist, calling out their names and possibly video chatting with them to discuss the creative process
Bring in Professor Christopher McGlothlin and Darren Watts to discuss The History of Sentinel Comics

Writers room - a normal issue of a Vertex line comic; one of the decent stories when most people still trusted the writers and they had not gone off the deep end yet.
Creative process - cover gallery - many 2nd party sources and sometimes publishers themselves will publish reprints of famous covers

Bring in someone from Underbite games and talk about Sentinels of Freedom- possibly when the RPG adventuer tie in is coming out or has been out for long enought to discus plot or to support the chapter 2 release of Sentinels of Freedom

They did an episode about power sources that basically went through the 20 power sources in the RPG how about talking about all the Backgrounds and all the archetypes. What real world comics best show off that Background or Archetype what Sentinels characters best exemplify that a option.
Lawyers and judges are "Law Enforcement" there's Dare Devil and Captain Cosmic.
Are there any Sentinels that don't fit any of the 18 normal archetypes and will need to wait for new books to add new options to get stats. ( You could build Parse as a Gadgeteer or a Reality Shaper but I think Hypercognitive needs it's own archetype. I also hope Captain Cosmic and Idealist get a true Constructionist archetype instead of Psychic or Minion Maker, Of course I also hope that when we get a Prime Wardens book we have other options for a dedicated frontline fighter than Powerhouse and Close Quarters Combat)

Okay, I'm finally almost through my latest re-listen, and this time I was actually taking notes! :-o
Here's my list of potential episode requests that Christopher and Adam have mentioned, removing suggestions that have already been provided in this thread (e.g., Termi-Nation event -- which I _really_ want to hear!):
And some mentioned Christmas episodes we could submit, but have to make sure we time them appropriately! ;-)

I'm pretty sure we got told that while they want to do a Singular Entities episode but that it wouldn't be one they could actually do in detail until much later.

Yeah, I know they're waiting on things for at least Prime War, if not something else. Just didn't want to lose it. :-)
Updated with a note to that effect. Thanks!

Gadgeteer is Parse though, there isn't a Sentinels hero it fits better than her. Its all about mental capability and analysis and actually nothing to do with gadgets if you read the description, the defining required powerset is Intellectual (so, again nothing to do with gadgets) and even get a Parse card name into the abilities and about half of them named analyze/analysis. It's really kinda a bad name for the archetype.
No better way to get people to submit something than to say "This is a joke! Do not submit!" XD

This doesn’t seem like a topic submission but just a question in general to send in about why they went with Gadgeteer.
Crush your enemies, drive them before you, and laminate their women! - Guise, Prime Wardens #31
I've actually submitted both of these in the past. FWIW. One under "Arataki's Universe" and one under "Singular Entities 101". The latter at least I know has gotten a statement to wait until Prime War has solidified/revealed things more, and I think the former was waiting on the RPG books.
What do you mean "joke"? I want my episode where Ryan is doing a journalist project covering some jazz concert and supervillains attack and as a side effect of their methods Ryan ends up with some sort of writing-based superpowers and helps the F4 save the day while making lame writing/music puns.
THIS IS A THING I WANT NOW THAT YOU PUT IT IN MY HEAD. :P

They don’t talk much story in RPG as it is and as such I doubt this would even come up for a vote at this point.

Spooky Month special: Creative Process- "Death of <character>" gimmick covers
one in the bag already with America's Finest Legacy 236
I hear you Powerhound but they basically said that such a story would have been written so when we do get RPG timeline stories it couldn't hurt
I was planning to edit my post to add the new idea
The mountain watches the freedom of the sea and cries. The sea looks at the stability of the mountain and sighs.
A flashback story about one of the historial Legacies, told from the perspective of their unpowered younger sibling. Probably a story of jealousy that turns into, "well, glad I'm not the one to get killed young and violently."

Most especially the PSA's Creative Process. :3
PS: I'm not sure if this has already been suggested (I don't feel like ready through ~30 posts right now).
This space was intentionally left blank.
Caught something I missed in earlier re-listens: In Ed Note #17, they provided the suggestion of an episode on Fashion. :-o
Now I'm torn between that and Termi-Nation for my next submission... :-\

I am all about Fashion. :D
I honestly do want to hear more about the heroes that got their own books or were major cameos in others', but never made it to the card game.
I have been re-listening to the whole series and many early episodes had questions from Chris Burton
Chris is now on GtG staff could we get him in as a guest host some time to talk about his experiences and joining the team?
He may have talked about some of this when playing on You Tube but the stories are not know to the Letters Page

Christopher and Adam read (edit) the Sentinels of the Multiverse TV Tropes page
Creative process Styling Shirley omnibus 2017- they would have reprinted old comics ( and made new content in the old style ) in preparation of the new Fashion series. To show what the old material was like and reintroduce characters and locations they were going to use. My theory is that the happy, light, girl comic was her delusional memories of how simple things were back on Earth while she was trapped in the Colosseum. Even with no unethical scumbags modeling is a high pressure, stressful job.

Oh, this is great! :D
I'm not sure how to phrase it, but we really need to get the Clone Ranger story -- the event where Con gets corrupted and all that.
I definitely want that creative process on Tantrum. <.< I always thought she was neat, and at one point I even had her tapped to be a member of my team of little girl heroes until it was revealed she wasn't one. :B
She could be a Hero if her Inverse-iverse counterpart somehow ended up in the main universe. :)

I kept the idea for the hero deck, she's just not going on the team. :)
Putting in a vote for A Day in the Life of Benchmark! I can't imagine that would be anything like what we might think it would be.
