it came out a bit ago he was super abusive to his...girlfriend I think...when she was going through a really rough ectopic pregnancy and basically treated an extremely traumatic experience she had nobody but him to support her through like a big burden for him personally. He apologized for it but it was one of those things where it only came after he was getting called out on it a good bit after the fact, so most people didn't exactly feel the sincerity.

But I remember the fella who told me. Big lad. Arms as thick as oak trees, a stunning collection of scars, nice eye patch. A REAL therapist he was. Er wait. Maybe it was rapist?



He turned out to be an abusive shithead to his last girlfriend

edit: said gf also went through an unrelated surgery some time later and he was similarly awful during her recovery. i think he blew her off to go play with pokemon cards on a stream lol

It all came out sometime last year and was bad enough that his best friend and former roommate almost immediately cut ties with him.

It is a sad reflection of the state of the internet that it is a relief that this guy was "just" a huge piece of poo poo and not a pedophile, nazi or nazi pedophile.

yea in my post I originally qualified 'abusive' with 'just emotionally though' and realized how fuckin gross that felt that my bar is at 'oh he JUST emotionally abused his girlfriend at one of the lowest points of her life, he didn't fuckin do something like also hit her at least' with poo poo like this.

Well rest assured: I didn't know who he was, nor did I watch him before this weekend, but I most certainly feel the same way after this weekend.

At one time there was a rumor that LMM was working on a new version of Hall of Presidents at WDW. I think it was scrapped after Covid. But I could imagine him getting the boys involved in some way.

We could have seen Griffin as an animatronic James Garfield.

Don't these sorts of things usually have a one per customer per visit rule anyway? Like, the punch card hoarder would have to make 7 separate trips anyway.

For a mere $2850 United States Dollars, you can play a real game of D&D with Travis McElroy, the mind behind TAZ: Graduation, which is widely considered to be one of The Adventure Zone's campaigns.

It's even funnier that it came right after the episode where they talk about how none of the side characters seem to do anything while the party is somewhere else. "You want side characters to do things while you're away? Fine, I'll have Urchin invite some rando to stay on the ship without telling you!"

I assume someone is probably worse, but is Travis the worst professional DM in the world, like obviously not the worst DM, but the worst who does it for a job?

Almost definitely not the worst but relative to prominence maybe.

Eh, good for him. That seems like a small outfit in England, who might not even be affiliated w/ the official DnD brand. I wouldn't pay that much for the experience, but bless the nerds that do.

I want to live in a world where this is the default path for less than A list celebrities instead of Cameo. Woulda been great if Britney Spears led a campaign in the mid 2010's, or if Gilbert Godfried had.

Well how else can you explain him not knowing a single thing about how to play D&D despite playing it bi weekly for eight years?

Just kidding, none of them know how to play

Trust me, there's people in my game who have been playing just as long who still don't know the difference between a check and a saving throw, and sometimes need to be reminded that unless something weird is going on or you're rolling damage, the answer to "what do I have to roll for that" is always "a d20 plus a modifier"
