A dungeon designed to be incredibly difficult and dangerous. In fact, it was created by Gary Gygax himself in response to some of his players claiming that their characters were so strong as to be unbeatable. The evil creation of a vengeful DM, it really isn't Adventure Zone material. I can't wait to hear how Griffin spins it.

Wasn't it made for Gary Gygax's own D&D party, where they preferred to play the game much more party vs DM?

Speaking of The Adventure Zone: I'm super excited for Clint's new super hero game on October 5th! The puppet has become the puppet master! After that are they going to do Travis's western one or Justin's detective one or Griffin's.....I forgot what Griffin's is.

I think Griffin wanted to do something vaguely Persona-ish? I might be remembering wrong.

It hit me doubly hard when I realised that Clint and the boys lost their real wife/mother.

Those sentiments would be deeply meaningful to all of them, least of all Travis, whose keynote mentioned how his podcasting enabled him to cope with the loss if his mother.

PUBGRPG

Or probably just Destiny, which I can actually get behind. The idea of a campaign based around spacefaring demigods with guns trying to stop wars could be rad.

For some reason I listened to their wrap-up episode before actually diving into TAZ. I'm on the edge of my seat for when the "you solved my poo poo riddle" turns into real feels time.

it's a genuine testament to their skill that it never really 'turns into' it though. It's always 'you've solved my riddle of poo poo' but they're just able to weave actual emotional moments and satisfying character arcs and all along with it.

As a great wizard once said, it doesn't always have to be goof goof dildo.

Good news: my fiancee is giving those away, for free, so you can get one or more of them if you want. Just put in a request here. There's something like a nine-hundred-person-long waiting list right now, but if you need it for a convention or a cosplay or something just put it in the comments, she's prioritizing those.

An artist named Charlie Long made the design and contacted my fiancee to embroider one for an IRPE jacket she was making. She posted about it in the TAZ facebook group and people were asking how they could get their hands on one so they decided to just make the patches and give them away since the boys don't like people selling unofficial McElroy-adjacent merch.

This is the design:



and this is one of the early completed patches, this one's like about 3.5 inches in diameter I think? I couldn't find a picture of the other size she made.

I dunno, it looks like a suitably Fantasy NASA style patch and does have a nice style but I'd kinda just rather the described patch...
