People occasionally bemoan the fact that there's no good guide to SCRPG resources and discussion online, so I'm doing my part by posting links to the ones currently know of. There are certainly others out there but I either haven't stumbled on them yet or I'm not personally familiar with them (like the Sentinels Discord, and at least one Facebook group - I'm not a big social media user).
If anyone would like some help signal boosting for something I've overlooked, feel free to contact me in the comments and I'll see about adding them the roster below.
Publisher-Related Links - Most readers are probably well aware of these already, but if you aren't these are officially connected to GTG.
Greater Than Games RPG Forum - This is the official publisher forum for the game, although there's little to no input from actual employees here.
Sentinel Comics Wiki - Very little RPG-specific content, but if you're using the canon setting it vastly expands on the pre-Oblivaeon lore, particularly through the Letter Page podcast episode writeups.
Letters Page Editor's Note #42 - This is probably the closest thing to a unified FAQ that exists at the moment. It's years old, predating the finalized print release, but still better than nothing. You'll find some other questions in Editor's notes #33-41, but the sections are comparatively brief and you're probably better off reading teh show notes on the wiki link.
Noteworthy RPG.net Threads - This forum seems to be the most active online community for the game, and there are quite a few other threads to be found with some searching. The links below are my somewhat arbitrary choices for most useful or interesting or at least recently updated, barring the History of Venture Comics thread (which is mirrored in the GTG forums link above). If you've got other suggestions, let me know in the comments.
DC/Marvel/other conversions Thread - Exactly what it sounds like.
Friv Is Inventing Homebrew (and you can too!) - Dedicated thread for homebrew rules ideas.
FrivYeti Reads Sentinel Comics Adventures - Extensive read-through and discussion of the published stand-alone adventures up to Terror Forms (at present). Spoilers, obviously.
Let's Read: Sentinel Comics Core Rulebook - Full read-through and commentary on the game's core book. Good for folks who are trying to decide whether they want to buy in to the game.
(Where I Read) Sentinel Comics: The Guise Book - Full read-through and commentary on the Guise Book. Really, what did you expect?
Sentinel Comics: Crackerjacks! - The in-character thread for an ongoing play-by-post game.
Sentinel Comics: The Pivotal Point Guard - Another ongoing play-by-post game.
Sentinel Comics RPG General Thread - Huge sprawling thread amalgamating discussion going back to 2020.
YouTube Videos - Links contributed by Sea-Envy over on the GTG forum, and my thanks for the assistance.
A Player’s Introduction of the Sentinels RPG (youtube.com)
Guide to Creating Characters in the Sentinels RPG (youtube.com)
A Quick Look at Playing and Running the Sentinels RPG (youtube.com)
GTG Actual Plays - All three seasons have links in the show notes at this link.
Audio Actual Plays - For anyone who wants to listen to real gameplay, these are some of the better ones I've listened to. There are more, although most are much shorter one-shot test plays. There are more APs on YouTube and Twitch but those are in video format and fairly easy to search for on their respective sites.
Critical Hit: Major Spoilers - First episode of their actual play series from back in 2022, which ran for a total of eleven episodes including one dedicated to a recap and final thoughts.
One-Shot Podcast: Sentinel Comics RPG - First episode of a five-part series that ran in 2021.
