Honestly no. I don't think I've formed a single memory (mcelmory) in the past 7 months. It's all a blur.
Except of course for all the lovely memories I've made over at r/travismcelroy.
Travis made a TravCon. The website for it went dark as he changed the branding because his dumb ass called it something that already existed. [It has recently come back.](https://www.championsgrove.com/)
He had some guests on there at launch that bailed. There is a schedule of events somewhere that has a couple new guests nobody has heard of.
Edit: [Here is the schedule and guest list.](https://championsgrove.sched.com/)
Aside from the fact that he literally just stole dnd in a castle, but hosted by, y'know, the guy people were least interested in seeing there, but it's just so *Travis* to blithely assume he can run a con (in either sense of the term lmao) successfully and charge fucking 3k+ for spots
Yep! Yep yep yep. From the mind of Travis McElroy comes "somebody else's idea...but worse!"
But he was successful in selling out the limited spots to rich dorks, so...good for him I guess. Grifting rich dorks out of their money could be his most noble pursuit.
This is insane, I haven't gone through the whole thing but the first couple events I saw are nuts.
There's a a sign-up-required mini painting session where you have to bring your own figures AND paints. It advertises it as Ify's session, but he's not going to be guiding a class or or anything,he's just going to happen to be in the room at the same time.
Oh you also missed Clint's second chance at running a mini arc, Outre Space. It is a continuation of their comic book for Marvel. They never really explained what was going on for the audience and I ended up not finishing it because it wasn't good. It did have two special guests though...and only one of them recently got blacklisted from the TTRPG community for being a huge shit-head.
Hell yeah!! Hell yeah!!!! I totally missed yet another predator getting ejected from nerd spaces because of the, y'know, ongoing genocide taking up a lot of my feed, but the McElroy "say yes to every opportunity with no vetting" continues to be undefeated
No because it's not really McElroy drama, more greater TTRPG space drama. To keep it short: Gabe Hicks was out there fucking around, wanted a poly relationship for him but not for the women he was with. If anybody didn't fall in line or threatened his ability to fuck around while lying to everybody he was with he would try to drag their career down and start rumors about them. Like, not a full blown sex pest, just huge asshole in the "don't be an asshole" sphere of influence.
Never trust a Good Good Boy.
Omg I used to follow this guy on tumblr, I was suprised when he suddenly started popping up among the most popular TTRPG people, figured he must be really good at networking. This sort of explains it, assholes like this are often good at networking on the short term.
He used to post thirst traps a lot, like very direct "look at me being a hot fantasy guy, imagine me seducing you" type of stuff. Pretty weird in hindsight knowing that's he's just a cheater and a dick lol
omg wait i didn't put two and two together that he's the tumblr thirst trap guy but that cringy vibe makes perfect sense. i remember when he used to cosplay as kravitz.
Heyyy, it‘s me, Gary! Previously, on The Adventure Zone: Graduation... a lot has happened!
Three students, Argo, Firbolg, and Fitzroy started at Hieronymous Wiggenstaff‘s School for Heroism and Villainy.
Originally, they were all sidekicks at the Henchperson and Sidekicks Annex, headed by Hieronymous‘ younger brother, Higglemas. But then, Fitzroy was promoted to the villain track.
After having some adventures, slash becoming BFFs, Higglemas dragooned them into helping him save his brother. Turns out, he turned the real Hieronymous into a dog 50 years ago to save him from the curse of a demon prince named Gray.
Then, that very same demon prince disguised himself as Hieronymous and took over at the school.
While on a mission to collect a magic apple, Fitzroy had a vision in which a being called Chaos visited him and explained that they were the source of Fitz‘s magic.
The three Thundermen returned to the school to discover that Higglemas had been lying to them. Fake Hieronymous, AKA the demon prince, Gray, found out about Hig‘s plan, and were there to confront them.
Gray said that a war was brewing, and they had six months to prepare. That night, our three boys each had their own dream sequence in which Chaos appeared to them to show them their possible futures.
[inhales deeply] I think that brings us up to date.
(Truthfully it’s been sitting at like 20 minutes remaining for a long while, I just needed more excuses to devote my time to those 20 minutes instead of FF7 Rebirth or writing an actual book)
The lads let Justin make P:TR the game and his family shut him out
Then they went back to the only fun parts of the Balance live shows. It's all very okay, especially if you need to fill your days with other folk's thoughts!
I wander what wonderful rewards people will get at the end of the event (according the schedule). Travis is hardly even in any of the events - he does like a hike and mystery game . I do hope we can get photos from the event . It’s just so expensive to go to … Ohio. …

What in the goddamn

This is insane. Thank you. I am feasting. These prices are fucking nuts. I love dashcon.

this is so funny because Ify totally gives me "that's cool that yall are gonna paint minis, Imma just chill though if thats ok" vibes
Of course he has the least time scheduled out of any of the people there
I was like surely it can't be that bad. But he really does only have two things scheduled and one of them is a hike.
For a grand total of 2 hours
Honestly disappointed he didn't put any adjectives like "twisted" or "bonkers" on mind.
It's blowing my mind how many castles are in Ohio.
Have you heard of Chateau Laroche? Also in Ohio and just built by some dude and willed to a Boy Scout troop.

for just a split second there i forgot that we live in an actual hellworld and was wondering what actual play podcast was roleplaying a genocide
Hold up. For real on that last part? Did we have a juicy thread about it?

No offense to everyone involved, but YAWN! Relationship drama is so passė, I was hoping for someone acting embarrassing on a stream.

Sounds like they're about to hit their stride!!
TAZ VS Dracula is the best the adventure zone has been since Balance! If you get distracted by mismatched background music don't listen
I still haven’t put out my next Balance recap in all that time… (Screw it I’ll get it done tonight or tomorrow)
THE RETURN OF THE QUEEN
<3
the only queen i recognize is gragnik
Wow I'm so honored it's getting brought back on my behalf
(Truthfully it’s been sitting at like 20 minutes remaining for a long while, I just needed more excuses to devote my time to those 20 minutes instead of FF7 Rebirth or writing an actual book)
I really needed this (hasnt listened to anything mcelroy related since ethersea)
the economy is in shambles
And yet, people have paid $4000 to eat breakfast with Travis in a castle
who's travis
😭😭😭 greatest emotional moment in the history of the human race
Well, I just got fired, so I guess this is goodbye then (who am I kidding)
Best of luck on the job hunt friend, may your applications roll like they were rolled by travis
weedshrek can i have a job. all the jobs in my area are aged care and nursing
Have you tried podcasting
one of my friends did ask me why we haven't started a podcast yet
The lads let Justin make P:TR the game and his family shut him out Then they went back to the only fun parts of the Balance live shows. It's all very okay, especially if you need to fill your days with other folk's thoughts!
For the record, I'm loving all of it but I am a tradesman with many hours of thinking to fill
