And just like that, the Legumes are back for another adventure. Wait oh cruck, we forgot about Larry and Samesies! They were down at the river, making asses of themselves in front of ripped fordsman Dan Siego. Here their heroic saga continues. And the cavers delve further yet into the dark heart of Telluria.

The Legumies’ cave adventure continues with headbutting, skeleton flirting and enough injuries to go around. Also, another rude, off-putting old man to antagonize our heroes! Watch out for weird bug creatures and stuff.

What happens when you die? Well, everyone else keeps living, unless they were sitting next to you on the rollercoaster that went off the track. What else happens? Your fingernails keep growing. That’s crazy, right? Did you know I have to get a manicure immediately after I resurrect? Every time. I wake up and it’s like Wolfman Derf! Yikes. And one more thing that happens sometimes, if you’re me: shit gets REAL WEIRD at the morgue!

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.

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!

We've unearthed (unRangused?) a special bonusode from Season 2: a Zyxx Crew mailbag unheard by the masses until now! It's mostly Alden's fault. Enjoy!

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
