Hmmm. Devo and Magnus are the only two (if I’m not mistaken) PCs who’s exact age has ever been stated. And their ages are an inversion of each other: 23 and 32 (physically at least). I’ve connected the two dots yadda yadda

Randy Ransbottom (or however that's spelled), the little boy who went along with two adult strangers to kick Santa's ass and become the new Santa!

Since TAZ Steeplechase is almost over, I have something to get out of the way

In the Ephemera arc, there's an in-universe NPC name Justin, which is literally Justin McElroy (the DM of this campaign) playing as himself (?) as part of a bit for the PCs to interact with. He mentions two things about this character:

A. He likes podcasting

B. He would like to get into podcasting but is "not great with voices."

I'm pretty sure he's joking, but if this truly was a personal jab on himself, that's not true.

So for fun, here is a list of amazing characters that Justin "I'm not great with voices" McElroy has done (from the top of my head)

Taako (The Adventure Zone: Balance)

Amelie (Mbmbam)

Duck Newton/Beacon-Tim Curry basically (The Adventure Zone: Amnesty)

Firbolg (The Adventure Zone: Graduation)

TROLLS WORLD TOUR

Rick Diggins (Dimension 20: Tiny Heist)

Mr. Boogey (the Qcode horror podcast BAD VIBES)

(Quick side note: Justin doing an Appalachian accent is always the GOAT no question. That's not a Justin you get to hear that much but when he does it, it's great. Duck is the second character with this accent that I could think of that he nails)

Amber Gris (The Adventure Zone: Ethersea)

Richard Stink (Mbmbam)

Count Donut (Mbmbam)

Literally every NPC, with Gravel, Sticky Fingers Paul Pantry, Poppy, Darla Davis, the Nanofather, and Shlabethany being a few of my favorites (The Adventure Zone: Steeplechase)

Comment if I'm missing any others

All I'm saying is keep it up J-man, you're doing great

hot take: randy ransbottom is the chaotic evil version of angus mcdonald and NO i do not take criticism

[asteriskemily]

Justin’s characters as hats

Taako: Big, highly decorated wizard hat

Duck: Ranger’s hat

Beacon: Scabbards are just hats for swords

???: Flower crown, but with leaves

Augustus: Bowler hat

Irene: Barett

Kardala: She refuses to wear hats, by Remy once gave her a beanie and she treasures it

Garyl: This mane cannot be contained

Tuff Greg: Baseball cap

Stephanie: Wide brimmed, black hat (picture Lydia from Beetlejuice)

Pepsi: Cowboy hat

Randy: Winter hat that his mom made him

Chip: Visor

The Adventure Zone fans, I need your help!

I'm working on something involving the McElroys’ player characters from all the arcs, and I'm worried that I'm forgetting some. Some of them have fallen through the cracks of the Fandom Wiki, Wikipedia and TV Tropes.

I have collected all of them (hopefully) in this list below the cut, in alphabetical order by name of arc, and included a short description of the arc to freshen my memory and yours. Please comment on the post if you see that I have missed some, or if you are certain that I have not!

Also, minor spoilers can probably be inferred from this post.
