    So fun
    I am loving Dracula. Everything is great but Lady Godwin in particular kills me 😂
  • Reespuffs
    Great pod
    I’m not annoyed by the background music, vs Dracula is such good rowdy energy, much like the Balance arc and Dust. All the boys are on the top of their game in this arc!
  • that one dm
    thanks for everything
    thank you for cureing my bordom

    Newest Dracula Episode
    If there is not a new sticker made for “Goyles love the smut” I will be so sad

    Fun, but the constant background noise is a nightmare
    I love the TAZ and I love the Balance arc, and I love this arc, but the music constantly playing in the background is making this terrible to listen to. I can’t split my mind between the incessant background music and the group chat. It feels like it is numbing my head. It makes it very hard to listen to. I hope it gets less music in the future. It is much nicer to hear the boys than be annoyed with the clumsy background sounds.
  • lord_co
    Coming back after a while
    Loving the Dracula season. Also loving the classical music in the background 👌
  • Jackie pockets
    So funny
    These guys crack me up. It’s fun to listen to dnd when it’s not always taken so seriously on the rules in favor of a strong plot.
  • Jeff Girten
    The Balance Arc is so Good I Cried (And still do)
    I remember I found this podcast when Welcome to the Magic Tavern recommended it and it is by far my favorite podcast ever. The McElroys are fantastic storytellers and very funny people. Also, the story of the Balance Arc is so good I cried (for real, when Magnus meets back up with Julia I just melt every time).
  • Akpearl1
    Thank you
    Thank you for making such a great podcast. It’s a perfect mix of dnd, family, stupid jokes, and character voices. Your shows gives me relief from anxiety and depression…. I listen to them repeatedly and at times to even fall asleep. I look forward to them each week. Oh and your theme music is great.
  • idvkhktoidvk
    Good
    This is funny
  • FuzzAldrin81
    Long, Slow Decline
    I LOVED the Balance arc and was listening from the beginning. It’s been a long slow decline since then and after trying the first few episodes of the Dracula arc I think I’m done. There’s still some great stuff in the mix but I find myself zoning out more and more often and just not caring about the plot. And I find Clint to be annoying more often than not, to the point that I cringe whenever he starts talking. So long and thanks for all the laughs, TAZ.
  • Midwstmechanic
    Amazing
    Never played d and d and knew 0 about it but this podcast is amazing. It’s so hilarious.
  • TrentonNZ
    Great podcast
    Very creative individuals Their chemistry creates a hilarious and heart-warming environment.
  • Hamiltrash#1
    I have never rated TAZ????? 5 stars
    I’m hooked on every episode of the newest season. Cannot believe I have never rated???? I have been a fan for years- if Amnesty has 1 fan I am them, if Amnesty has 0 fans I have departed this plane 👼🏼
  • Moomoomilkroket
    Music in background is too much now
    I love the new campaign but I agree with several others that more audio-only segments are needed. It makes it hard to listen to a whole episode at once, let alone back to back like I used to. The music is good, just too much of a good thing. Thanks!!
  • kdibs83
    The best way to start my mornings!
    I am loving TAZ vs Dracula! It’s cracking me up and it’s also giving me so many ideas for my next DnD character. Amazing work!
  • BambiS78
    TAZ is the Best Podcast
    I’ve listened to all of The Adventure Zone (TAZ) episodes, I’ve even listened to Balance twice. I’ve finally caught up and just want to go back and relisten to more. I can’t get enough!
  • Grace///
    Back for Drac(ula)
    I loved Balance, but haven’t vibed as much with the later seasons. I’m really enjoying The Adventure Zone vs. Dracula, though! I think the McElroys have recaptured a lot of the silliness that made Balance so charming. As always, not a crunchy actual play podcast, but a very good time.

    OK first of all your podcast is like literally goaded. But also, I would like to be a character in your Dụng podcast. I would like my character to be called android 704 for short android seven attack include electric, blast, counterpunch and meteor beat down anyways, love your podcast. I gave it a five star rating.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤗
  • Bearaccoon
    Listen to this show
    Update: I’ve gone through a few more series, since my first review I’ve finished Balance, Amnesty, Graduation, Commitment, and they’re all really really fun. Some might prefer certain series over others, but they’ve all got a certain uniqueness and personality. I found Commitment really deep, although I’m not sure the underlying message was fully explored or appreciated, but that one should get more love I think. Also Graduation was great, although it seems Travis didn’t give himself enough credit for his gm skills. Griffin is so talented, multi talented in an amazingly diverse way, and Justin is brilliant, when he pays attention. The characters that Justin creates are often my favorite, complex, consistent but evolving, not always a character you want to root for but always one that will grab your attention, ironically. A huge thank you to this group for putting this out there. You all deserve all the success that this brings (hopefully a lot). Older review: I started with the new Dracula series and enjoyed it so much I went back to the beginning of this podcast, and I’m glad I did! I haven’t played much dnd so starting from episode 1 gave a good overview of the game while also helping me hear these guys’ first experiences and impressions of the game. The major difference comparing the new series (campaign?) is their voice work has gotten a good bit better, but otherwise it’s the same humor, same personalities, and same contagious joy they project from being able to spend this time together. Really grateful to have found this show and hope you continue to play for many years.
  • Vglock
    Tone down the music
    Love the show! But the music in the background is too loud and distracting from the story. It adds so much to the show… just a little bit softer now please!
  • penguin_man🐧
    Do more Justin!
    I love this podcast but I’d love it if Justin could dm more.
  • Good morning podcast
    Just good
    :3 (Griffin rules!)
  • vetivercurrent
    Music too loud
    I really wanted to get into it, but at times found the background music was mixed maybe a bit too loud, which made the dialogues harder to follow.
  • Fionn M Miller
    An appetizer plate made of entrées
    This podcast has so many different kinds of stories to choose from. With multiple seasons under their belt and plenty of mini-series’s in between you’ll be eating good for a while. I’ve been listening to this show for almost 9 years, and I’ve loved it all the way through. Give it a try!
  • pinkballoonicorn
    :3
    Their latest season is probably the best start to any of their shows yet. Loving the characters and the world
  • WeskoPops
    Love this podcast!
    These boys will make you giggle and kick your feet. These boys will make you scream and throw up. They do it all and they do it well.
  • akciwi$28:!,
    All caught up still love it
    I started a year or so ago and loved balance this was my first d&d podcast, my interest waned a bit after the first arc ended, but I saw them on Dimension 20 tiny heist and got back into it, family dynamic is always fun and TAZ vs Dracula is shaping up to be my favorite arc, the music is epic
  • Literature goblin
    Praise! The podcasters of the century!
    Justin has the silliness and baddassery, Travis being a silly goober, Clint and his sweet characters and horribly awesome jokes, and finally griffin with his amazing characters and questionable elevator fetish. This family is so addictive to listen to and be around. I love this podcast to pieces and can’t wait for what the future holds for them!
  • Bfrctl
    Great stories, killer sound
    The stories are great, and will keep you coming back for more, but the Dracula theme slaps so hard. I have to listen to it twice before I enjoy the rest of the show! Thanks Fam!
  • bs1278
    Super funny
    Me and my kids have never laughed harder In years and we would sit down in the car and my kids would beg me to put it on and would oblige them they would listen to it and want to listen to more👍👍👍
  • fraxxinus
    Dunno what I’d do without you guys
    THANKS FOR ALL THE LAUGHS. Got me through the toughest of times ♥️♥️♥️ Truly a work of art.
  • i loooooov it
    Brings family’s together! (At least me and my dad)
    My dad introduced me to the adventure zone through the first 3 graphic novels then we started listening to it in the car and we laughed VERY hard. Me and my dad have grown closer just because of this podcast. Thank you McElroy family. Thank you
  • joey chicharrones
    BIG DAD ENERGY
    Great story telling and goofy as heck. Clint rules, wish I could get my daddy into dnd. Update: Vs Dracula is fantastic, they boys are SO back
  • Bear-Owl
    My Favorite Podcast Ever
    I’ve listened for years, and continue to adore it more and more. Less people like it nowadays, but honestly, I don’t get it. It’s just as it’s always been; a fun time. Best seasons too listen to, in my opinion, are Amnesty (2), Steeplechase (5) and the current one, Adventure Zone VS Dracula (6). Balance is fun as well, but super long and takes a while to get really good. Ethersea (4) and Graduation (3) are fine, the weaker seasons of this podcast, but still far better than any other similar shows.
  • ThePhoenixFireDM
    Amazing podcast!
    I love listening to all of these episodes, I was introduced about a year and a half ago and now it’s my favorite podcast! I love the comedy aspect while still being an amazing story! I’m a dm and this podcast has inspired me to do some off the beaten path storytelling with my players. This helped me become a better dm without it meaning to, and if you’re just here for the laughs and the goofs then it’s also great in that regard.
  • ttmcneely
    Best Show / Small Suggestion
    I love The Adventure Zone and would recommend it to anyone (and have!). Loving the new season and it’s a great jumping on point. A small suggestion I don’t know where else to put: while I generally love the sound design, as a somewhat highly sensitive person, the new thing of almost always having music or diegetic sound in the background is *a lot* for someone who can have trouble hearing the boys talking over the background and all the more on headphones. It’s become a harder show to listen to. If you could drop it out to just the voice audio at least sometimes, it would be appreciated.
  • Witchelny Wiz
    I haven't laughed this hard since Balance
    The boys are BACK tall! Not that they haven't been on their game dang near every season, but Versus Dracula is fantastic and I'm excited to see where this is going! Also Dracula's teeth earring merch when?
  • Not Forrest Gump
    Liking TAZ vs. Dracula
    I tend to enjoy the Griffin-DMed seasons much more. This one is no different. Really enjoying the low-stakes and goofy vibe.
  • Hugh Mannn
    Amazing
    I’m into this pod cast more then any pod cast I’ve listened to. I’ve listened to soo many episodes so fast. These guys are THE BEST story tellers I’ve ever listened to. They are goofy but serious when it matters. I envision every episode like a movie in my head. I’m not one to leave reviews but this one was 1000% earned from me absolutely amazing gentlemen keep it up! Best wishes to all of you and your family keep it up.!
  • Foodog315
    Just getting back in!
