The Adventure Zone

katie_versace shared a tip "Hilarious and heartfelt. Listen to a dad and his sons rag on eachother as they play a hilarious and fantastically told D&D campaign."

em_4530 shared a tip "This is one of my favorite pieces of fiction that I’ve ever experienced! It’s so engaging with brilliantly laid-out plot lines and well-developed characters, all while being really funny! I love all of the arcs I’ve listened to so far, and it’s just so amazing! It gets my highest praise; I just love it so much! I could go on and on about this podcast! 💗"

em_4530 shared a tip "This has to be one of my favorite pieces of fiction that I’ve ever experienced! Even though it’s a podcast, it’s better than almost anything else that I’ve ever listened to or read before. I think it’s so incredible and engaging, with brilliantly laid-out plot lines and such well-developed characters, and all while being hilarious! I love all of the arcs that I’ve listened to so far, and I pay my highest complements to the McElroys! This podcast receives high praise from me. I could go on and on about this podcast; I love it so much, and I hope you do, too! It’s “The Adventure Zone”! 💗"

broccoli-bouquet shared a tip "The most unexpectedly wholesome, well-crafted, and fantastical pieces of audio content. I don’t care if you aren’t into DND. This is the one, the podcast that got me hooked on the very idea of podcasts. It will give you shivers, bring you to tears from laughter and heartbreak, and give you that same feeling as the end of a good book once you reach the conclusion of the first arc. But then there is more!! Please give it a listen."

joniness shared a tip "I didn't listen to a single episode of Graduation because the premise didn't interest me but you have to give Balance arc a chance for sure. Absolutely wonderful story and sooo funny! Amnesty is great as well but wrapped up a bit too fast for my liking."

anemonemily shared a tip "the first episode is a little slow if you've never played Dungeons and Dragons before, but once it gets into the narrative it really picks up! A fantastic group of comedians that makes my day"

monique_mccloskey shared a tip "It’s so creative, very funny and has amazing moments through out each campaign they have done. I have listed to the first campaign twice now and it never gets old! #d&d #actualplay #storytelling"

neeork_games shared a tip "Easily the most well known show besides CR in the TTRPG podcast realm. They use different systems. None of their seasons connect. The first campaign is regarded the best by the fanbase but each one has its merits."

gavino_siciliano shared a tip "its by the mcelroy brothers and father. they are very funny and kind people and the show is like listening to your friends be funny and come up with tons of inside jokes and goofs."

landon_rooker shared a tip "From the makers of (and the maker of the makers of) the podcast “My Brother My Brother and Me” comes a DnD podcast for modern storytelling. The amazing adventures of the Boys move from loose comedy to complex story as you move your way across the “arch’s”. Worth every second, you’ll laugh, cry, and even get a little *****! It’s the Adventure Zone!"

ashlyn_h shared a tip "I heard so many good things about this podcast, and at first I thought they were exaggerated. The first arc, Here There Be Gerblins, was funny, but I had heard there would be intricate plotlines and characters! But I kept listening, and whoo boy it did not disappoint. By the last episodes, I was sobbing. It takes a little while to go anywhere, but that's because it started as a goof with no clear plan. You get to not only see the story progress, but the people themselves as they get more and more invested into the story. The adventure zone, balance especially, works so well because it wasn't supposed to be anything. They went into it not expecting to create a deep story, but it came out of them authentically and genuinely. It's rare to get a chance to watch the characters AND their creators grow alongside each other. I would recommend this to anyone with a pulse. It's hilarious, heartfelt, emotional and clever. If you start listening and don't think it's for you, keep going for another arc or two, you're guaranteed to fall in love with it by the end. It instantly became my favorite piece of fiction, and I couldn't be happier (just make sure you avoid all the spoilers!)"

caitlyn_entriken shared a tip "The Balance arc is completely finished! Binge the whole first series without pause! We stan the McElroy brothers (and dad) here! Plenty of goofs and exciting characters! Im 100% invested. New episodes still air every other week!"

Fables shared a tip "Magic Brian from "Here there be gerlins" hooked me on the show but basically any of Justin's characters. Duck trying to lie at any point is also one of my favorite things. As far as specific episodes I think Griffin's music and speeches for the end of Taz Balance will always stick with me."

m88nlighter shared a tip "If you like the McElroys, you should totally check out their other shows like My brother my brother and me, and sawbones. But if you like it for the actual play aspect, shows like critical role and dimension 20 are great. I'm currently listening to the fantasy high campaign and love it!"

alex_bonin shared a tip "Legit one of my favorite TTRPG podcasts! Love the storytelling, the voice acting and all the hilarity that ensues from a family playing games together!"

person_man shared a tip "A D&D podcast where making jokes and goofing around is prioritized over melodrama and bad improv. Also, an actually heartwarming and heartbreaking story that sneaks up on you as you're only focused on thr goofs and gaffs until the feels show up.#comedy #drama #fantasy #science_fiction"

bazkingshark shared a tip "I know that I personally enjoyed it, but the Adventure Zone is a little more difficult to get into than most? For one, it's made by three brothers and their dad who were taking a break from their main podcast, My Brother, My Brother, and Me. They're also kind of new to DND, Griffin is the only one with a bit of experience. It's long and it kind of dips in quality after the first campaign. It's fun once you get into it, but it's not a great place to start, especially wrt ttrpg podcasts"

amelia_d_4719 shared a tip "For D&D podcasts I recommend Friends at the Table, Critical Role (it’s a twitch stream but they upload them as podcast episodes too), and Godsfall. Aside from that, The Magnus Archives (x-files/night vale-esque), and Let’s Fight a Boss (it’s a media/video game talk show podcast but it’s my fav podcast of all time so I always recommend it lol)."

a_6352 shared a tip "The adventure zone: balance will always have a place in my heart. It's message of love and hope is one I didn't realize I needed to hear at the time, and it's changed me and the way I look at life. Sure it has it's slow moments, but I still highly recommend it."

atlas_owen_8857 shared a tip "TAZ story one is incredible, truly a masterpiece. I cried, laughed, and felt the pain of these characters all while they kept it light hearted and fun. Props to Griffin McElroy for creating a masterpiece."

kaitlyn_lawter shared a tip "Amazing, the McElroy’s are so funny and charismatic, the episodes always make me smile and life, definitely a life-saver during my worst years of depression. #comedy #fantasy"

rebecca_grim_4059 shared a tip "I love anything made by the McElroy family especially this one dnd/gaming play thru podcast some of the best story building in a podcast I have ever experienced "

pat_walton shared a tip "The Adventure Zone Zone is a dungeons and dragons campaign played by the McElroy family who some might know from their other famous podcast My Brother, My Brother and Me. The Campaign, follow Merle, Magnus and Taako, for their quest to find the 7 grand relics that they were send out to peruse from their employer, The bureau of balance. The adventure is well put together from their dungeon master Griffen McElroy, with amazing story telling, music and comedy, and lovable NPCs"

bob_beaver shared a tip "I have watched a lot of movies, and read a lot of books that made me emotional, this was a totally different experience. These boys and their dad are so funny it hurts sometimes 😂 I HIGHLY recommend EVERYONE listen to The Adventure Zone. It is one of my greatest loves 🥰 If you do listen to it, do yourself a favor and listen to Steam Powered Giraffes Heist album after. 👌👌"
