The McElroys have released the trailer for The Adventure Zone: Graduation, the third season of their hugely popular tabletop roleplaying podcast. And hoo-boy, this is gonna be fun.

Following the podcast's Balance and Amnesty arcs, the boys are back with an all-new story set at Hieronymous Wiggenstaff's School For Heroism and Villainy — a school where all aspiring heroes and villains can learn the important skills needed to save or destroy the world.
Except that the characters we'll be following aren't the heroes or the villains of the story. No, instead they're students at the school's sidekick and henchperson annex, an important program that appears to command much less respect.
Even more exciting, Graduation will have a new Dungeon Master. While Griffin McElroy served as DM for Balance and Amnesty, it'll be his brother Travis McElroy taking the reins this time.
"I had a concept for a story that I was really excited about! The more I worked on it, the more excited I became," Travis tells BuzzFeed. "Between teachers, students and people from the nearby town, I’ve already created about 50 NPCs!"
Graduation brings the McElroys back to playing Dungeons & Dragons after spending the last couple of years using the Monster of the Week system for the Amnesty arc of their podcast.
And lest you think the whole arc will have to take place inside the Wiggenstaff school gates, don't worry: there will be plenty of off-campus adventures to be had.
The Adventure Zone: Graduation premieres October 31, 2019 on Maximum Fun and wherever you listen to podcasts.
