Anyone else think they should release it a day early so I have a reason to wake up on Monday morning?

So, I am looking at the banner for the letters page. It looks like Adam has coffee. Right there with you buddy! Is Christopher drinking bourbon? Do you drink bourbon whilst you record Christopher. Please say yes!
I think Christopher is more of a Scotch guy IIRC, but I guess it's more semantics when talking whiskey.
I am certainly drinking Scotch during each episode of the Letters Page. It's usually an Islay, but sometimes I partake in something else, like a Speyside or even an Island. I have a lot of Scotch here in my office.
Adam is usually either drinking coffee or a flavored sparkling water of some sort.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson
What time of day do you and Adam record, if I may ask?
From what I've heard you normally record on Fridays, but this last one you mentioned that you recorded on a Monday.
Fun/Silly idea: Would you and Adam ever consider recording AT Fridays, on a Friday? You could get something to drink there while you record the Letters Page, and I heard that Endless Appetizers were back, if that sweetens the deal. :P
I also wanna say... you guys always seem to apologise when you go off onto tangents and things. I can't speak for everyone, but that is one of my favourite things. One of the things that makes this series so appealing is how much damned fun you guys are obviously having whilst doing it
Idea for an interlude: I'd love to see Christopher and Adam break kayfabe on Sentinels Comics and talk more about the meta of how they came up with the idea for the multiverse, the origins of the characters within (which ones were created specifically for the Sentinel Comics verse, which were repurposed from earlier materials like tabletop games and other stories, etc), and how they built up this idea prior to producing the games within it.
For example, Christopher is openly a fan of Mutants and Masterminds...which characters started as PCs or NPCs within tabletop games they've run?
They should have a foley artist on call so they can have their impromptu Roleplaying sessions. I also can't wait till they start a podcast where they both just banter for an hour. Totally listen to that.
I am still waiting for Christopher and Adam to say " just kidding on the whole Nightmist is dead and has no future. Let's rewind to before we said that. . ." I am still waiting (Denial is the first stage.) (Also I needed a Just kidding they are not dead for my bingo card.)
I am so sad I missed out on the Nightmist ask question time. She is my favorite by far. So sad she is gone, but she will live on in my Sentinels RPG I am running. I really want to read a Faye Diamond comic book with 1920 feeling PI stories. A knock on the door, somebody with an easy job that ends up being really unnecessary complicated. Darkly lit with a sax playing in the back round and lots of self-narration.

My sentiment as well. Also, just so you know, the "...and then, he died. End of his story." joke never gets old...! :P
I'd really love to hear about the creation process of the different characters as well! I never realized Faye was connected to the Arkham Horror universe until I listened to the Nightmist episode and I think it is really cool!

Asked this question elsewhere, but I'll ask it here too. After all the character, team and event episodes, would we be able to get an episode on the "real world" history of Sentinels Comics?

What do you mean?
Christopher & Adam frequently talk about the "history" of the comic book(s) that a particular character comes from. He means something like that (and put a similar post in the "what can I do for you?" thread).

Technically, it's because Christopher is evil and cruel. ...I'm sorry, that's not really fair. Christopher is not cruel.
I wouldn't go that far... You know someone can be amazing and cruel and the same time, right?

I thought it'd be a fun project to try to turn the stories being told in each of these podcasts into something more organized and readable -- a reference companion for the podcast, if you will. Unfortunately, that would require a reliable way to transcribe the audio into text so I can manipulate it and there isn't a free option I can find that does a useable job of it. Since I'm definitely not going to type out a transcription of the podcast each week myself, that kills the project before it got started, which makes me sad. :(
@Spiff: Yeah, I originally tried it myself and reached the same conclusion.
WalkingTarget has been writing up excellent summaries on Reddit and the Wiki, though, even if it admittedly misses out on the humor a bit.
(Like "They get along well, even though they have different paths in magic.", when it was more like Adam roleplaying Nightmist acting like Argent was a hippie who needed to be told to "Take a shower and get a job". (To which Argent replied, "Excuse me, I do take a shower..." "...all right, I guess you do. But still, get a job."))

HEY! HEY YOU! Adam and Christopher, if that is your real names!
Christopher said that you were recording Tachyon next and then said, speciffically to me that I should not send in any questions for my favourite hero because it was already recorded.
But my favourite hero is Tachyon, which was previously said to be recorded tomorrow.
And I have already sent Tachyon questions in...
What can I do now. How can I trust you? How can I trust anything!?
If we have questions about Felicia Parsons how should we label them? As Young Legacy, Beacon or Felicia Parsons - I am sure that you could find them under any of the three, but it helps to have a consensus for your ease of use right?
So I posted La Comodora question as Maria Helena . . . .
Will your filters pick this up? I want to make sure you find the questions I posted about La Comodora. I am Pumped to listen to her podcast. So excited.

This saddened me a bit when I heard that mentioned. I thought he might have enough lore to him to fit into his own episode. Guess I'll need to write up enough questions to fill an episode......
Crush your enemies, drive them before you, and laminate their women! - Guise, Prime Wardens #31
True, but even that variant overlaps with an event Captain Cosmic was a part of. Basically Captain Cosmic's story is "looking for his brother with a side of having occasional side adventures presumably mostly with the Prime Wardens", while Infinitor's story seems to be "being crazy with a side of occasionally terrorizing some poor mortals before Cosmic gets him to gain some sanity and oppose OblivAeon".
And then Tactics and RPG are both Captain Cosmic finally being totally his own person. So yeah, I'm guessing the logic was that Infinitor just doesn't have very much lore that doesn't overlap completely with Captain Cosmic's lore.
Poor Nigel. We don't even really know much about what he looks like, let alone what he was like personality-wise before going crazy.

It could also be that the two's story is so intertwined that it's just better to talk about both of them at one time than try to divide them up into one episode each. That makes enough sense in my mind since a) they're brothers, b) they share a power source, and c) I'd hazard a guess that they spend alot of time fighting with/searching for/trying to help one another.
Do you talk about Bugbear's bugbears?
Stop lurking, it makes you look like a villain target

Good because the more I look through the cards I don't see much of a connection between them.
Crush your enemies, drive them before you, and laminate their women! - Guise, Prime Wardens #31
BugBears incap art deserves at least 10 full minutes in and of itself
I would agree that's the only artwork they show up together on.

I did nearly say bourbon or scotch actually, as I have some whiskey drinking friends that would keelhaul you for saying it was only semantics :P
How about it Christopher, Bourbon, Scotch?

We almost always record Fridays around midday. We only record on non-Fridays when one of us will be out of town on the appropriate Friday.

Me, too! Tachyon is one of my favorites and I sent in several questions about her.
I want the Tachyon episode to be the same length as the others, but played at double speed so we get twice as much info.

So one suggestion I'd make: Name the files after the date of publication, rather than the date of recording. Makes it easier to find that way.
