Fanbruary Day 3: The Adventure Zone · 4:28pm Feb 3rd, 2019
Hey. Do you like Dungeons and Dragons? Do you like RPGs in general? Do you like podcasts? Or maybe you've never heard of any of those things, but you're interested in learning more? Then you'll probably enjoy The Adventure Zone! It's a D&D podcast by brothers Justin, Travis, and Griffin McElroy, and their father, Clint McElroy. It's filled with fantastic storytelling, wild and interesting characters, and so much OOC goofing that you may start to have trouble determining when they're playing in character or not.
Plus, for all those people out there who, like me, have never played D&D in their lives, it's still really easy to get invested in the story. You might even learn a thing or two about various RPG systems along the way. I certainly did.
If you're still not sure, I wouldn't necessarily recommend listening from the very beginning of the podcast-- the first game they played is over, and it took them nearly two years and around seventy episodes to complete. I'd suggest you try one of the more recent arcs-- the current one is called 'Amnesty', clocking in at around twenty episodes and counting. If even that's more investment than you want to put in, I'd suggest you try one of the mini-arcs, either Dust or Commitment clocking in at under ten episodes, including the setup.
Whatever you choose, I really do recommend this as a podcast not only for lovers of RPGs, but also for lovers of interesting, deep, and layered storytelling.
Hail and well met,
