I was wondering, do you have an online shop? I would kill for a 20-Connoisseur (see now that's nice) pin

Ah, well, I’ve got a redbubble shop that I haven’t updated in absolute AGES, but all the designs there are original things, nothing McElroy related.

Here’s a link if you’re still interested.

Hey man. Has Fungalore heard your wish?

He did!

Fun DnD fact: Create or Destroy Water, cast at 3rd level, creates 30 gallons of water. Tidal Wave, a 3rd level spell, creates a 30x10x10ft wave, which equates to 22,441 gallons of water. This is extremely good and funny for me, a person playing a water-themed wizard.

Sorry I haven't been able to post much art lately, but I had to take time out of my busy schedule to draw my current favorite TAZ NPC

*looks at the taz v dracula party post* "designs are subject to change." that was foreshadowing at it's finest

Haaaha, you right!

hello sorry i know you probably don't have any control over it, but the 20 fungalore pin has sold out even though it's in preorder! do you know if there will be more please? 🥺 thank you! very cool pin btw!

I unfortunately have literally no knowledge of what the process is behind the scenes over there, but I would guess that there will be more at some point

‘Eyyyy, guess who got to design another piece of McElroy merch!

different anon here: just roll with it is a ttrpg podcast! their main campaign that they post on youtube is dnd but on patreon they also do mutants and masterminds vampire the masquerade, call of cthulu, etc. pretty good podcast

Oh cool! Then to answer the original question, I have not listened to it. Truth be told, as much as I love dnd and whatnot, I don’t listen/watch a ton of content about it. Mostly just TAZ, and I’ve verrry slowly been consuming some Dimension 20. But maybe I’ll check this one out!

Have you’ve listened to Just Roll With It

Is this a song, podcast, show, or what? I’m always down to partake in new media, just need a lil more direction, thaaaaanks

MBMBaM 693: Run, Don't Wonk

Wanted to get out my first passes of the Versus Dracula squad (and I have no idea how to actually spell their names), so here's Crawford "Mutt" Muttoner (and Lady Agatha Thistlewait), Lady Elizabeth Godwin, and Brother Filo. Designs are naturally subject to change considering we've just met them, but here first impressions

Well, uh, happy Twenty Fungalore to those who celebrate. May he hear our wishes all year long. Praise be to Fungalore.

Oh, and I drew some of the rejected year names as usual. What a wild ride. Happy new year!

I can't get this idea out of my head

And there we have it, all thirty fighters from our hypothetical Adventure Zone platform fighter. I've loved making these, and may return to add some "DLC" at some point (gotta get the Steeplechase player characters, right?), but for now we're gonna leave it here.

12 Balance reps, 6 Amnesty reps, 5 Graduation reps, 4 Ethersea reps, and one each from Dust, Commitment, and Dadlands. Let me know who you'd main, what you'd like to see as hypothetical DLC for this hypothetical game, or any other thoughts!

Links to individual movesets under the cut, and I'll see y'all next time!

Alright fellas, we've done it! Our thirtieth Adventure Zone platform fighter moveset, none other than one of my all-time favorite NPCs, Garfield the Deals Warlock! I'm gonna be taking a break from new movesets now, but maybe I'll return to this series sometime on the horizon.

I'll be honest, I really wanted a Kirby-like character in this, with copy abilities and whatnot, and Garfield seemed like the funniest choice. So that's what led to all this.

Garfield's neutral special has him attempt to steal some blood from a nearby opponent. If successful, he will replicate that opponents neutral special (and get a matching hat) until he loses a stock or it gets beaten out of him.

Garfield's side special has him toss out a grenade, which will bounce around somewhat unpredictably for a second before exploding.

Garfield's up special has him whip out a shopping cart and dash in the direction held. The trajectory is able to be curved somewhat mid-dash. Passing through an item or opponent will put them in the cart, giving Garfield the item or launching the opponent at the end of the dash

Garfield's down special has him briefly whip out his bag of holding and hold it wide open. The bag can absorb three attacks, projectiles, or items. Once it has taken in three things, the next use of this move will launch an amount of gold coins dependent on what was absorbed.

Garfield's finale has him start singing the Fantasy Costco jingle. For the duration of the song, a deluge of items from the Fantasy Costco will rapidly fall from the sky at random locations. Some do more damage than others (looking at you, flaming poisoning raging sword of doom).

What's this?? It's the Dad Squad from The Adventure Zone: Dadlands, all together in a single platform fighter moveset! Enter Briquette Hoggins, Chip Hugginsbee, Guy Ferrari, and Coach Red Ruffinsore!

I wanted to include a law/chaos meter mechanic in this, so here's how this one works. You play as one dad at a time, and each of the four special moves will swap you to the corresponding dad. Landing hits as a chaos dad (Briquette or Chip) will raise your chaos but drop your law. Landing hits as a law dad (Guy or Red) will raise your law but drop your chaos. Most standard attacks are themed after one type of dad (grill, vacation, car, or sports), and landing hits themed to your current dad will give extra meter. You can spend meter by holding down the special buttons for powered up versions of those attacks. Spend chaos for stronger neutral or up specials, and spend law for stronger side or down specials.

Now for the moveset itself. The down special swaps you to Coach Red Ruffinsore, who let's out a piercing toot on his whistle for high damage but practically no range. Spend law meter to chain together several whistles with no cooldown.

The side special swaps you to Guy Ferrari, who will drive forward a good distance in his Hyundai Elantra. Spend law meter to instead drive Yvette the Corvette, which explodes for massive damage at the end of the move.

The neutral specials swaps you to Chip Hugginsbee, who will toss a snack from his backpack in a lofty arc. Spend chaos meter to instead whip out just a gun, for a faster and more powerful projectile that shoots straight forward.

The up special swaps you to Briquette Hoggins, who fires a cut of meat from his chest cavity straight down, giving him a small bit of air in the process. Spend chaos meter to instead summon Chokey the barbecue spirit, which propels Briquette faster, further, and in any direction.

The Dad Squad's finale has them reach into a Continuity Obliterating Recurrent Neutrino (or, C.O.R.N.) Hole, extruding them through time and space. Briefly, all four dads, and fractal copies of them, will spread horizontally across the stage, moving and attacking in unison.

To those who made it this far, thanks! This was my 29th moveset concept in this series, and I'm planning on taking a break from this once I post the 30th one. Lemme know if you have any guesses as to who it might be, and I'll see y'all then!
