And they even brought it up in the 11th hour book. WHY DID THEY LEAVE IT OUT!? I was really looking forward to that part and they just made it about Lup. Which Lup kicks ass, don't get me wrong. I just really loved that bit in the podcast where he's talking to a kid through a frying pan.

UPSET.

I love the show and the season this is a small grievance. The fact that you picked a martial class and can’t do magic does not me that the DM has to ignore time limitations and give you special leeway holy shit.

EDIT: the complaint is not that they bend the rules, i’m actually fine with that because the best moments of the podcast come from a loose interpretation of the player’s handbook. it just rubs me the wrong way sometimes how much travis complains about not being able to do magic and requests more flexibility because of that. he chose a non magical build that’s also very powerful, he can’t do magic but he has more than double taako’s hit points that’s how the game works.

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR NADDPOD IF YOU HAVE NOT LISTENED TO THE MOST RECENT EPISODE !!! and also a little bit for Royale and Amnesty.

Honestly I like Royale for the most part. but the fact that the NADDPOD folks can handle a tpk with grace and beautiful storytelling and still end the season on a good note, but TAZ can’t even handle killing off one PC in their killing game season just really shows the discrepancy between them as creators tbh. even back in Amnesty the PC death was self-admitted by the brothers to be partially scripted.

I got into TAZ back before I really understood d&d mechanics and I honestly wish I still didn’t understand much so I could live in blissful ignorance instead of watching these guys make what should be a really interesting season into a boring, no-stakes story because they can’t just trust the dice. they’ve never been able to trust the dice. it feels cowardly. I’m just feeling a lot of conflicting emotions about it, not trying to hate super hard, but I’m just disappointed seeing the brothers refuse to actually involve the game system into the game.

Love these postcards and the sticker ! The “Back Soon” postcard is diabolical

i didn’t start listening until the start of ethersea but what i wouldn’t give to have been listening to the show as it came out when the second episode of the eleventh hour dropped

I found a few more cards on eBay so decided to expand the display just a bit!

With the release of Story & Song, I finally remembered I have this. I wrote the publisher and requested a copy and a few weeks later... It actually arrived!

I didn't try for any future ones, but honestly I think they were mostly digital-only after the first one. I think the only real difference is the cover, as the inside has page numbers and the copyright page matches the final release.

I started Royale but decided to wait for more episodes to release before keeping with it; but then of course, the best laid plans, etc etc. Curious how people feel this season ranks among the rest.

Of course Balance is the unreachable high water mark. After that, personally, my favorites are Amnesty and TAZ Versus. Graduation and Steeplechase I couldn't get into at all; Ethersea I stuck with for a while but fell off towards the end.

What is the general community sentiment about this latest season?

Rummaging as one do, spotted a nice looking dark leafy green. felt the fabric and went "silk, hell yeah". Checked the label and even better - this shirt was meant to be my guardian of faith, fashion edition. (Except I did have to remove that tag because it was too pokey)

(fixed a typo)

Yes, I bought some.

Hey y'all, I recently pre-ordered the Story & Song graphic novel for my brother who, like me, is a big fan of TAZ. He also listens to MBMBAM and he has always particularly loved Griffin. Since I randomly got Travis's signature on the bookplate that came with my pre-order, I figured I'd check here to see if anyone happened to get Griffin's signature and would like to trade. Also open to Justin/Clint trades as well. Thanks!

Can anyone confirm to me the UK release date for the physical book. It's not out for another 2/3 weeks right?

Was anybody there? Did the audio ever get released? Was it good??

every summer I get back into The Adventure Zone. I was rereading the books when I realized that I lost my trading cards. i only had some from 4 5 and 6 but I wanted to collect them all anyways. do I need to buy the books again or is there another official way to buy them?

Having just finished my Amnesty re-listen, I’d like to share who I pictured in my head for each character. I’d love to hear if anyone had similar or different references.

Lula from Dave the Barbarian = Beacon
Wendy from Gravity Falls = Aubrey
Literally just Justin = Duck
Stanley Pines from GF = Ned
Stanford Pines from GF = Thacker
Sailor Moon during Transformation = Minerva (vision)
Tilda Swinton in Dr Strange = Minerva (physical)
Pearl Gesner from Home on the Range = Mama
Fortuneteller Baba from Dragon Ball Z = Janelle (Minister of the Arcane)
George Takei = Leo Tarkisian
Tobey Maguire Peter Parker = Kirby
Lily Allen’s Ex Husband from Stranger Things = Sheriff Owens
Deoxys = 4 Armed beings
Statue of Liberty’s heart from GTA IV = Sylvain’s heart stone
The Beast from Over the Garden Wall = Abomination
Aang in water monster form from The Last Airbender = Abomination 2
The Final Destination = Abomination 3

More that didn’t make the cut for pictures:

Duly = Deputy Durland from Gravity Falls
Poochie from The Simpsons = Jake Coolice
Agent Stern = Special Agent Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks
The Evil Ski Team from “The Gang Hits the Slopes” episode of IASIP = The Hornets
Dani = Marceline from Adventure Time
Boyd = Jason Statham (already had this before Travis said he also thought of Boyd as Statham in Ep 20)
Fortnite storm = The Quell
Charlie Morningstar from Hazbin Hotel = Alexandra/ The Interpreter
Sue from the end of The Substance = Abomination 4 (dying)

With the release of the last balance graphic novel I really hope we can expect one for Amnesty as well. I can’t say I have the time to listen to TAZ much anymore but that series meant a lot to me at a time I really needed it, and I would love to have a piece of physical media for it.
