I first found out about this series through the graphic novel adaptation, and after giving the podcast a try, I want to point out that there are lots of funny moments that weren’t in the book.
Still so, so good

I left a really long and crazy review one time but let me shorten this up. Adventure zone is awesome 10/10 Would listen to all of it again. Perfect balance (see what I did there?) between game and story. Highly recommend.
I love these guys
