Summary
Campaign 2 has been all about telling one city-level superhero story, but where do you start when you want to build an entire intersecting universe of superhero stories? We talk to Christopher Badell and Adam Rebottaro, the creators of Sentinels of the Multiverse, a cooperative card game rooted in a comic book tradition of a fictional comic book publisher.
You can pre-order Sentinels of the Multiverse: Definitive Edition and grab the Sentinels of the Multiverse RPG book, and follow Chris and Adam on Twitter.
The Punchbowl is our interview segment about playing TTRPGs in 2021 and beyond. Catch up on past interviews on our website!

About Us
Join the Party is a D&D actual play podcast with tangible worlds, genre-pushing storytelling, and collaborators who make each other laugh each week. We welcome everyone to the table, from longtime players to folks who’ve never touched a roleplaying game before. Begin with Campaign 2 (The Join Campaign) for a modern, sci-fi superhero game, or marathon all of Campaign 1 (The Party Campaign) for a high fantasy story. And once a month we release the Afterparty, where we answer your questions about the show and how we play the game. New episodes three Tuesdays a month.

| 0:15.9 | Which doesn't really help when you're fighting crime, you know? |
| 0:19.2 | So I figured I'd put that to good use, and talk to those people who are pushing the |

| 0:45.0 | outside of that comic spectrum. |

| 0:51.5 | because it was created by Jack Kirby and Stanley, and all those guys were, you know, Jews |
| 0:56.8 | living in the middle of America in the 1950s. |
| 1:01.1 | So for books, I love The Regional Offices Under Attack by Manuel Gonzales, or Soon I will |
