Welcome back, adventurers! We join our merry band in the midst of a great revelry. Samesies finds a muse, Dwaynne shows off his bicepticus, and new headaches come in tiny precocious packages.

If you're coming to our live show, why not come a day early for a whole weekend of Zyxx? An intrepid crew of awesome fans are organizing the second-ever Zyxx fan event, ZYXXCON II: THE WRATH OF CON, the day before our live show. It will be full of cosplay, trivia, a cast panel and more! All proceeds going to two amazing charities. Get your...

Just your friendly neighborhood Legumies, descending to the final level of this cursed cave, where they encounter a beast with darkness that's darker than anything you can imagine. No, darker still! Okay whoa, whoa, not that dark. Will they live? Die!? Do something weird that’s not living or dying? Listen to find out!

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!

Hold on to your zippers, space friends, because this is the installment you’ve been waiting for. That’s right, it's the part where the ol’ Derfster finally gets lucky! And then yes, gets quite unlucky, over and over again. But those are just details! Let’s focus on the smooching and canoodling! And wait, what’s this? Are Shae and GOOD_E partaking in the bacchanal!? If you want to find out, don’t touch that nipple-shaped dial.

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!

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...

Strap on your tunics and cotehardies or whatever, and let’s visit the royals! We’re all hatchin’ big plans this chapter. Twinkle goes undercover, GOOD_E dispenses some justice, Shae makes a love connection, and I barely spill any pee all over the place. Huzzah!

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!<...

In this, the final one-off episode before The Young Old Derf Chronicles, the crew fulfills a repeated request: to make a live role playing podcast. Yes, it's Mission to D-Syxx! The entire crew is here, playing a Dungeons and Dragons one shot adventure as their medieval characters from Zyxx Episode 419. Yep, the Legumies are back. Alden Ford is Dungeon Master. Justin Tyler joins as a special guest. It's a fun one! And a long one. Enjoy.
