This has been covered a couple times in the comments of other posts, but I figured I’d make a post about it. Do we think that the new YT subscription is the good good brothers’ way of stepping away from Max Fun? I think it is, and here’s why.

1. If they were to leave Max Fun, the biggest concern would be a sudden loss of income. The YT Subscriptions would help to smooth the transition.

2. If they intended to stick with Max Fun, wouldn’t they just include this as a new bonus for MF members? Is there another reason to have a separate, non-MF membership that I’m missing? It almost seems like this would cause some level of bad blood, if they hadn’t already told Jesse they plan on leaving.

3. The latest MF Drive was a total bomb, which, taken with increasing skepticism from the community, sets precedent for them leaving. How many more brutal drives are they willing to go through before dropping out?

With all this in mind, I predict that the McElroys will drop out of Max Fun before next MF Drive. They may be under contract for now, but I’m not sure if that’s true. Can somebody remind me how close to the drive that other podcast dropped out?

Break into small groups and discuss.

For all Travis’s faults and genuine issues as a GM, at least he has some passion and energy to bring to the table. I actually genuinely enjoyed the first maybe 5 minutes of the new TAZ episode, I thought it was goofy and it sounds like they’re gonna have fun with it. But then Justin comes in and just sucks all the energy out of the room.

It feels like his goal now with every game they play is to be as disengaged and as combative as possible when playing, his goal is just to make the gameplay and RP as difficult for the GM and other players as possible. It makes me sad because he usually was the one with the best character at the end of the game, Lady Godwin is actually his most recent enjoyable character but I feel like he actually had fun playing that game. So maybe he’s just bracing himself for another rough ride with Travis at the head and has already given up, but in doing so he has immediately tanked the game from the start.

My hopes for this season are not high, but they have dropped lower. I think they might actually have a decent season with this set up since it seems like it’s perfectly unserious which works well for Travis, but Justin may be the problem for this one.

Figure out how to end a post

And on top of that I’ll even pay Jesse Thorn some money! Just because he wears such cool hats & corncob pipes or whatever please kill me!

After the tragic loss of a player in TZoA: Rumble (otherwise known as Royale but better) we are looking for another jerker to take part in The Zone of Adventure: Piety, a story about 3 gods going to the mortal realm to prevent an evil dark ritual, unrelated to anything the McElroys have begun releasing recently I swear

We've been playing on Tuesdays at 8pm BST/UK so ideally be available at that time

These sessions (likely 4-6 of them, I am a fan of brevity) would be recorded and edited into episodes for this sub. I will hopefully get over my own self cringe and get these episodes all together to be released alongside TAZ Providence.

DM me if you are interested 👍
