yeah what's great about taz balance is it's set in a fantasy world so it can't really get dated *shoves scene where a character dabs out of sight*

so not to be like an old person but ive continued listening to the mcelroys podcasts every week for years and years even since their fandom died down after taz balance and some of the newer taz arcs are rly good and if u liked their dnd nonsense to begin with maybe u should check them out again and see if something catches ur fancy, i rly recommend ethersea and steeple chase (justin finally dmed one so you get a hundred great characters in one arc instead of just one) (not that griffin and travis dont also come up with great characters but justins were always my favorite)

constantly thinking abt when duck newton was talking to his spectral how-to-accept-your-destiny trainer who only appeared for three minutes a day and he jumped up and kicked the air and said "is that anything :/"

saw someone critique travis' gming by saying he can't create and manage a distinct cast of characters and I just. what?
everyone is entitled to their opinion!! BUT. Dust has quite literally been one of my all time favorite campaigns, and that rhetoric just doesn't apply to it? Dust 1 was an absolutely fantastic story and the idea that "he can't bring his characters to life like griffin" is frankly absurd to me.
I understand if you didn't like graduation, it definitely felt a lot... lighter? to me if that makes sense, because griffin's dming often maintains a sort of heavy tone. but, travis is a sunny personality and that shines through in his characters!! even from a standpoint of the pcs he's played, it doesn't all "just feel like travis". of the three brothers, yes, you can pick out which characters travis plays, but can you look me in the eye and say devo is just travis? what about aubrey?
look, I understand if you want to critique travis' radio specifically, because his voices aren't often incredibly different, but his character creation is so impressive. (not going to get into it but justin is the only one without the problem of similar voices most of the time, at least in my opinion.)
maybe I'm just newer to engaging with the general fandom, idk, but there's this obsession with balance I've ended up seeing quite a few times. it's not coming back, and not everyone has to like it. balance is my second favorite season and I love it a lot, but I'm beginning to think too many people put it on a pedestal, when it wasn't perfect in the slightest. I personally do not want to listen to yall throw a fit over not enjoying travis' gming. the least you can do is be polite and respectful with your criticism.
