Any updates on this, even if it is "now on the back burner".

 

Christopher had some news regarding The Letters Page on the Handelabra stream last night. I can't link to it at work, but he bascially said that his new setup for live streaming will open the door for The Letters Page to be a thing. He still didn't commit to actually doing it, though, but it's the most encouraging news on this in a while. 

Please. No more. My heart can't take any more disapointment on this front.

No, seriously, we're going to do it.

Adam and I have been dying to make this happen for so long. We talk about it at least once a week.

Thing is, we've gotta make games. Once OblivAeon is off to the printer, we're going to make it a priority.

Give us those playtesting files now so you can get it to the printer sooner then!

 

While I am itching to see OblivAeon I am far more interested in the Letters Page!

Response from Christopher indicates that they still have our questions from last time, no need to resubmit those, just come up with all new, all different questions of excellence.

OK, this might be a silly question, but where exactly does one find episodes of Christopher's Letters Page podcast? The URL letterspagepodcast.com is for a parked domain and Google searches lead to this thread or other podcasts on which Christopher has been interviewed. There's nothing on the GTG site map, either. I'd really like to listen to episodes that presumably exist somewhere, but somebody has done a great job hiding it.

That's because it doesn't exsit. GtG is still actively taking questions though, but the first episode hasn't been announced yet.

I've really been making use of the question submission page. I hope they don't end up getting upset, I've probably asked a dozen questions since the stream, and I don't doubt there will be plenty more to come if I can think of them in time

So is the next episode about Baron Blade in three to six years or do you have plans to go over other characters before that?   Also, the page the Legacy episode is on lists it was posted on December 29th but this was only announced this today so could was this available before today?

There will be other episodes! Who knows when they will be! (Actually, they'll be on Tuesdays!)

And yup, that website was live at the end of last year. We did a bunch of testing and had different names and such on the page to fool search engines into not revealing what was happening.

Actually, because I've gotten questions about it already, I'll let you know that next Tuesday will be an episode about The Wraith, and we're recording this Friday, so if you have questions about her, ask them now!

I ask because on Reddit someone said they listened to this over the weekend.   Anyways, a lot to take in and I feel I need to listen to it again to fully grasp all the topics.   Nicely done and I look forward to more.

When will the next X episode be?

Listening to the Legacy episode will probably bring up new and exciting questions about Legacy, when will you be looking back at Legacy again (You know this is going to be an FAQ so putting it out there early!)?

That's what the short Thursday episodes are for! We won't have them often or on a regular schedule, but if we need to go back to a character we've already covered, we will get to those questions on occasional Thursdays.

This is fun!

It begs the question, though: What button do I push in the Sentinels of the Multiverse app to make the theme music be this awesome 8-bit speedrun version?

I never really got into Chrono-Ranger, but the small bit about him makes me like him a lot more.

 

Can't wait for more.

You push the "Back Handelabra Games' Season 2 Kickstarter" button (although admittedly this isn't in the app)

One of the more surprising things I learned in the podcast is that Tachyon and Absolute Zero are close friends. I never really got that from other exposure to the lore. In fact, I figured Ryan would be one of the harder heroes to get along with. ("You're out of line, Frost!")

I wonder how Ryan and Meredith became such great friends, and what they do on their days off.

It makes some sense if you think about it: she was the surgeon that saved him after the initial accident that turned him into what he is, sheprobably is his go to pysician now, she keeps up the maitinance of his suit, and she just seems like the kind of person who tries to be friends with someone who needs it.

Woo! Congrats on the release!

Any chance we could get either a subforum for the podcast or move further discussion to separate threads? Think it'd be cool to have a way to track discussion per episode (similar to threads on the weekly one-shots), especially if we're getting deep into lore on specific characters and events.

For now, let's just use the "Sentinel Comics World Discussion" section for threads about Letters Page things, as they're entirely about Sentinel Comics World stuff. Right? Let me know if this seems like a terrible idea.
