Time to talk about Sentinel Comics: The Roleplaying Game! In this back matter episode we go over the remarkable guided character creation mechanism, the balance between narrative and simulationist play, and Fiona breaks out a spreadsheet to report on probabilities.

Sentinel Comics: The Roleplaying Game was co-developed with Critical Hits Studios and is published by Greater Than Games.

Back Issues

• Inferno (1988) by Louise Simonson, with art by Walter Simonson, Bret Blevins, Terry Shoemaker and others: this is a multi-title crossover event involving X-Factor, New Mutants and other Marvel mutant comics, best read through the trade paperback Inferno or, if you're ambitious, using a reading order like this one from Comic Book Herald.
• Secret Wars (2015) by Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribic, and Secret Wars/Battleworld tie-in mini-series, such as: Runaways by Nate Stevenson and Sanford Green, A-Force by Marguerite Bennett, Willow Wilson and Jorge Molina and X-Men ’92 by Chris Sims and Scott Koblish.
