The Adventure Zone: Here There Be Gerblins (The Adventure Zone, 1) (edició 2018)

3.5 star

This was fun!
BUuuut it should be experienced in its original medium. Sound is definitely required for full effect. The elevator is an Experience.
(looking forward to listening to the podcast, gotta be a wild ride)

Will give podcast a try. Not sure about continuing with graphic novels.
Also - this was kind of short?

VERDICT : BORROW TO TRY ( )

First up, I'm a fan of the original podcast. Second, 2 stars to me means 'it was okay' as the Goodreads scale says. This is a beautifully illustrated adaptation of the the first TAZ adventure but it just didn't do anything for me. Taking what was improvisational role play storytelling and presenting it in a tightly scripted form sucks any feeling of spontaneity out of it from my point of view. Obviously the high average rating means I'm in the minority so your mileage may vary. I personally won't be bothering with any more of these, though. ( )

I just started listening to The Adventure Zone and I started listening to MBMBaM in May. I knew about Justin and Griffin through Monster Factory for a while but it wasn't until this year I have learned about the sheer amount of content, those Sweet Boys, the McElroys have put out. I don't know where I am going with this, I guess I just wanted to say that I am late to the game, but I am having a blast playing catch up.
Anyways, this comic was amazing and captured the essence of the podcast wonderfully!

4.5 stars 🌟- this was so much fun. I really enjoyed the story and adored all the characters. Can’t wait to read volume 2 ( )

my life is changed, my life is more fulfilling, i understand my true potential in the world and am at peace with my struggles

God, this was all i ever wished for and more. this was a TON of fun, with a ton of laughs, both from the podcast and new lines - or adapted, sharpened lines that were familiar (but not too familiar, but not too not familiar - ). It's a good cuddly book with three very uncuddly characters, and it's so nice to go back to the beginning of it all in a way that still feels fresh even when i finished my millionth re-listen just a month ago.

I actually wouldn't say it's good for people who haven't listened before though - there's a lot of missing context and the D&D stuff doesn't land quite so smoothly, but for the rest of us, this is a perfect companion. ( )
