Gf was browsing events at Gencon and said she thought she recognized the name of someone who's podcasts I listen to. Of course it's loving Travis, I've seen him there twice (without paying) and I doubt anyone else but Clint would want to go.

Anyway $38 to learn how to be super good at RPGs from someone who super isn't is too steep a price for me.

Edit: lol



Four $42 events to get a selfie and autograph. I got a free selfie in 2017 and a high five on an escalator two years later.

Don't be jealous just because you had to pay $10 to give bad advice.

It's so sad to see Travis still try to force himself into this space. I know he is working on his narcissism, but god drat. That panel had better be him talking about his main-character-syndrome, and how to let go of it. It won't be, and it will be a train wreck, but I can dream.

TAZ peaked in its first episode. (I don’t actually believe this. The introduction of Jenkins is the actual peak.)

Thank you for giving me a reason to post my favorite TAZ animation involving Jenkins.

this post is much sadder than anything that could happen to Travis at gencon

Hasn't he mentioned doing therapy to help manage it? I thought it came up in MBMBaM not too long ago as a passing joke, but I could be wrong.

Travis having events at Gencon is not pertinent to the McElroy podcasts thread, got it. Once they air the episode I was on I'll be sure to post it here so I'm contributing, thanks for the eye opener.

Well, I'm sorry about the thread turning into whatever this is.

I'm only up to the end of the Auction arc in Ethersea, and I hope there are more ship battles. Griffin seemed to put a lot of effort into them, and I really enjoy listening to the ship combat parts.

There are a lot of TAZ side eps I'm looking forward too. Dadlands 2, Dust 2, whatever Abria, Lady of Chaos has in store. I won't hit Steeplechase for a hot second, but it seems the thread is in consensus that it's a good listen.

Honestly I'd assume Gencon would be asking them if they wanna do events and Travis said yes. :shrug:

Live ep was good fun, Travis wasn't too bad as DM?

CatstropheWaitress

I don't think it's that odd that people find it odd that Travis is the one who regularly does those kinds of events. The one season he led was a trainwreck, so it's like watching someone who crashed a car go around offering lessons in how to drive.

It's exacerbated by Griffin building the empire that gives them clout in the space, but he's the one who shows up DMing in a castle in Scotland. Can't stress enough: ultimately good for him. Can't knock the hustle. But, also, it's kind of a joke.

I'm going to have to binge Steeplechase when it's all done, listening to an actual play podcast is tough when you have a toddler running around and I don't know anything about Blades in the Dark to begin with.

Dang, I wish they could have shows at smaller markets closer to me, I'd love a live show. Understandable that a group so relatively small has to make sure they can get as many attendees as possible though.

To me it seemed far more like an editor (or whoever makes the decision now-a-days) saying “No you can’t just do an article about a terrible press release. Just do a round up of all the latest things like this.”

Still hilarious though.
