In this installment of our DnD adventure, the changeling sorcerer Casseidi Mossborn dumps some serious lore on the Legumies. If you dare listen, prepare for contemplated roundness, angry silence, and cities with sequels! Thanks to Zyxxcord member Powerline for making the lovely map used in the episode.

It's MaxFunDrive. And here, for the first time, we give you an exclusive look (well, listen) at the craft of podcasting: presenting Casters on Casters.

In this episode, Austin Taylor (Secret Histories of Nerd Mysteries) explains how he chooses topics, and the metric by which something can be considered "a mystery". Plus, Jeremy Bent (Mission to Zyxx & Eurovangelists) has some advice for anyone who is trying to come up with a name for their podcast.

If this glamorous, in-depth journey into what makes your favorite hosts tick inspires you, support them by joining as a member at maximumfun.org/join.

We?re off to Holowood! Or HoloWEIRD as I like to call it! I find myself once again slingin? grub to a bunch of ingrates, this time alongside an innocent young up-and-comer full of bad coffee and big dreams. Shae and GOOD_E find the perfect and most depressing place to lay low. Zap Zop gets discovered! And you?ll never guess who kicks my bucket this time. Never meet your heroes!

The Legumies are back. Again! Our actual play D&D one-shot episode was so fun and had such a great response, we've decided to make it an ongoing campaign. In this second installment, our heroes level up, win treasure, and enlist in a dangerous new adventure. Booket hits the books. Larry YOLO's. And everyone bleeds.

Episodes of Mission to D-Syxx will come out biweekly, allowing us more time to painstakingly mix Derf episodes. Meaning: two releases every month; one Derf, one Legumies. To suggest weird NPC names and help make the show possible, join us at maximumfun.org/join

Oh hey, you?re back for more! Wow, okay. So if you thought that last chapter was something, get ready for something else entirely. My life of crime takes a turn when I?m punished for a totally DIFFERENT crime! Which I also did. Shae reconnects with a friend and a nickname, GOOD_E switches modes, and I make like Plopeye and pop open a couple cans. Let?s get young!

Okay let?s see here. Episode descripsh. Something like: Oh hey it?s me, Old Derf! Sure, you know me as an elderly space wizard with the mysterious power of resurrection, a resume stacked with entry level jobs, and a talent for juckin? around. But would you believe there was once a time when I was slightly LESS old, when my powers were just coming into focus, when I got pulled into adventure after adventure? It?s true! So buckle your space belts and settle in for the first installment of my MEMOIR, The Young Old Derf Chronicles. Here we go!

Which direction does a French horn point? And did Brendan?s high school Band open for Justin Timberlake? There?s only one way to find out, and that?s if you dare to venture behind the muzyxx.

The crew receives a dinner party invitation from a very unlikely host. Bargie will always be successful! C-53 drops it like it?s hotdish. AJ just wants a little decency! Dar absorbs very, very friendly fire. What is the sound of Nermut?s one hand clapping? That?s Pleck in the corner. This throwback to Season 4 was freshly recorded LIVE on October 3, 2021 at the Bell House in Brooklyn, New York. 

And hey, it?s the Maximum Fun Block Party! Welcome, new listeners! And old listeners too. And young. But not too young, because this episode is SEXY. Check out all the great Max Fun shows, and if you?ve helped spread the word about Mission to Zyxx - THANK YOU.
