Tenzin Masselli Travis said they will, he just needs to write it. They all only wrote up to where they stopped in each arc. Also, in the case of Commitment, Clint is looking for a different system to use instead of FATE to go forward. People have suggested MASK, which is part of the Powered By the Apocalypse system, if I remember correctly.

Just Cos its been confirmed from an interview that they did for the release of the Rockport graphic novel that Travis is for sure DM-ing next arc (i read that directly and im sure that if you google it you’ll be able to find the interview in question) and i read on the taz subreddit that he had claimed G as TAZ: Gumshoes and was planning a sequel story to Dust. that one hasnt been confirmed from the McElboys themselves (at least as far as I’ve been able to find) but in case it does end up being true........ you heard it here first.
Is Augustus holding spectral cashews? I love it.

This is fantastic! I love the inclusion of the ghost cashews as both a reference to the joke, but also a really cool manifestation of how Gus fears that all he built in his life is slipping away through his fingers.

oh wow you PERFECTLY captured the vibe of dust, this is so cool and atmospheric!!
I really like this!! Even the first shot was poignant, I never considered that Jeremiah might have a wedding bad and seeing blood come outta there made me shiver! Good job!
I've watched this four times in a row now. The Dust theme music was my favorite from any of the mini arcs, and now this incredible animation is going to play in my head whenever I hear it.

Lor Haine You did an incredible job. You caught all the little details (Augustus's cashews, Gandy's vest), and added beautiful symbolism of your own (the sword of Damocles, the Banshee's owls, etc). And the timing! You hit every beat with an emotional or ominous shift.

Folks (myself included) really seemed to enjoy Dust. I wish Travis had GMed more of that instead of Graduation (without intending to throw negativity)
is it weird that I've only listened to each main arc once but I've listened to dust like...a hundred times..........
i know ive already commented but i watched this again and i just love how much you elevated the song?? i didnt peg it as particularly creepy, maybe a little foreboding, but just watching this makes me feel tense and nervous. its incredible like you captured the tone of the arc really well
Damn that sword of damocles reference!!!

@@HamburgerTime209 The Sword of Damocles was an old story about a king that showed a guy named Damocles, who was complementing him, a taste of his life by letting him sit on a throne enjoying the king's riches, but Damocles had a sword hung over his head by a single hair. Thus he couldn't enjoy anything because he was always worried about the sword falling. The character in the animation with a sword symbol over his head is feeling a similar looming dread
THIS IS AMAZING, Dust was my favorite miniarc and this intro is so FLUID and I love the sillouettes. Especially when the Banshee pulls itself from the old woman. Dylan flashing between human and werewolf (loved the wolf skulls) with the sword that is hanging above his neck is just.... Great. The COLORS my god the simple colors really help it retain the almost rustic feel this arc had. Also the trio at the end? Perfect. Sorry to gush I'm just so in love with this.
This is beyond perfect. You managed to hide the entire story (several _hours'_ worth of story) in plain sight, in roughly 1 minute. 😚👌
By far my favorite song out of all the arcs themes. Dust and amnesty... DUST AND AMNESTY. gosh i love them both so much. But in the end it can't wait to hear more from ducks sweet sweet voice
The cashews at 0:21. What an excellent touch.

Right? And the halves of the human and wolf skulls falling from my boy Errol were amazing.
I want this projected on my tombstone.
I watched this before I had gotten to this arc and was super confused but pumped. Seeing it now that I'm done is awesome. Such great work.
Well played. Although I understand why they didn’t stick with it permanently, I’m very glad it existed.

Potato Patato actually they did say they plan to visit it again sometime. Like same characters and such. They did leave most of their mini arcs open after all.
man we need some more of this arc
By the gods this is magnificent! I hope someone sends the link to this animation to one of the McElroy's!

Thunder Taps Justin just tweeted about it :D!
I come back to watch this again at least once a month and it give me chills every time
There's part of me that wishes they went with Dust instead of Amnesty for their second season but also I can't complain about Amnesty because it's been really good
Whoa, amazing style and tone and use of symbolism!
Watching this again two years later and yep, it's still amazing. Dust was an underrated arc.
This is literally what made me go and buy the Adventure Zone comic, and now I'm 13 episodes into the podcast itself! So thank you for introducing me to those good boys
ive rewatched this so many times over the past month it’s not even funny because WOW this animation is PERFECT and this opening theme is a BOP. you’re so incredibly talented!!
The color palate is wonderful
Bruh this is so rad!!! Your style is really smooth and satisfying, and your designs for all the characters and stuff are really nice! The bit with Dylan Mathis legit gave me chills
Wishing we could see more of Dust again and I had to come back and rewatch this. It's still super cool!! I tried to pull out one thing to compliment, but, really, I love everything, especially the cool transitions!
this is so goddamn good holy shit!
This is fucking incredible???.What??? The style is so beautiful and the visuals so compelling???
I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT have the mcelroys seen it?? i bet they'de be so happy, it's so well done and beautiful!!
This was so pretty it made me listen to dust and holy shit does it all make sense in context
i took a break from TAZ after Balance and stumbled upon this vid about a week ago. It got me really curious. Since then I've listened to both Commitment and Amnesty, and I'm now just beginning Dust. This opening delivered me to the McElroys again, and I thank you for that! Can't wait to see where this mini-arc takes me!

OH MANNNNNN I JUST FINISHED THE CAMPAIGN AND CAME BACK TO REWATCH THIS AND NOW EVERYTHING MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE I MEAN IT LOOKED COOL BEFORE BUT NOW IT LOOKS COOL AND MAKES PERFECT SENSE I WANNA YELL IT'S ALL SO SUBTLE WELL DONE THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY EXCELLENT JOB!!!!!
HOly damn. I think I may show this in a class if I ever teach Motion Graphics II.
Wow! This is so amazing, I genuinely got chills from it. It fits Dust SO perfectly, and the animation style you use is so dramatic and unique and just works SO WELL with Dust. This is fantaaaaastic. Well done, and thanks for sharing this!
This is so beautifully made!! The ideas and transitions are amazing and so creative I love it
Not only it looks fluid, the visuals and metaphors are fantastic! The moment with the sheriff is especially inventive (not to mention looks fucking amazing). Thesa 60 seconds are filled to the brim with so much style and tasteful editing that if I drown in it it'd be a happy death. Thank you.
Umm this is so good?? The animation is amAZING and you captured the vibe of Dust so well got DAMN
Man, this just brings me back! I loved dust, Travis was such a good dm! Would not hate it if we got a dust arc next... the characters were amazing, hearing Griffin actually play a non npc was 100% worth it

God, I'm in love with it. It fits the song and atmosphere so well, wooooah ;_;
YO THIS IS GORGEOUS????? WOW WOW WOW WOW
this is PHENOMENAL. I love the smooth transitions and the color palette!!
I spend a shocking amount of my time watching Adventure Zone animations, and this is by far the coolest one I've ever seen. It's so gorgeous, I absolutely love it.
It’s stuff like this, the creative energy and inspiration that makes me so glad I’ve decided to learn how to animate. Beautifully done, love the colors and contrasts of reds blacks and tan with white detailing, like an old time bounty poster! Thank you so much for sharing this is wonderful!
This is amazing!!! It looks like it could actually be the intro to a TAZ movie or tv show! Excellent work!!
uhhh that was so good and so smoooooth and godammit bless you for this
Dust had the best music for sure. Chills every time a track came on, but especially this one.
not only is this beautifully animated, it's extremely satisfying to watch!! i kept going back and watching specific moments several times - like the skull changing in time with the music, and the owls turning
Just as I read "Dust was amazing!", I was thinking to myself "This is freakin' AMAZING!" Awesome job, bud!
this is awesome, reminds me of the dragon age keep art style, which is super cool! love the transitions
I always thought that this and commitment were so good. I have no idea why they never went back to those characters to tell the rest of the story. It was funny and all the characters had potential. Clint was a great DM and Travis is DMing the current season. I will always be baffled that they never fully realized Dust and Commitment
this is GORGEOUS. and i love, love, love the timing with the music -- you've done such a great job.
This is incredible, I hope the boys see this.
this animation is wonderful! i haven't listened to dust yet, but this made me curious
this is so incrediby cool and detailed, the bit with the banshee and the owls turning around gave me chills! great job!!!
This animation alone makes me want to give that arc a second chance. Thank you for this.
i think the best experience i've ever had singlehandedly was coming back to this video throughout the series as i understood each reference more and more.
Holy shit this is amazing! It perfectly fits the music and the tone of dust. I can actually picture this as the intro to a tv series or something.
I love the part with Connors and how the order of what was discovered is the same as in the animation. He was unassuming, then they found the key to his house, then they learned of the chaos wild magic-the fire, and the murder-the bloody hands, then he revealed the full demonic-ness of himself
That was OUTSTANDING.
This is glorious.
I LOVÉ IT ??! The style ... perfect ! The symbolism ? AMAZING !!!
All the little details you captured! Ahhh BEAUTIFUL
i loooove when i forget his name??? is crying and it flickers between him as a human and him with a wolf skull with the sword hanging above his head. its so powerful and builds the tension... im actually scared when i see it like the dword might fall. but like an enjoyable kind of scared like u get from good fiction
OH MY GOODNESS. THIS IS AMAZING.
This honestly is on the level of the stuff theyve done for amnesty
Oh my God this is so good, I just keep coming back and watching it over and over. That hand dropping on the beat in the beginning is fantastic and gave me chills the first time I watched this !
absolutely amazing 11/10
Oh my god this was amazing!! Love the whole aesthetic, and so much effort was put into the animations!
THIS ID AMAZING WOW
Gorgeous!
This is sooo gorgeous and perfectly in tune with the music. Gives me shivers :D
watching this again and again makes me cry, the art is so beautiful it catches the exact essence of the music
YES. An amazing piece of art for one of my favorite arcs!! Well done!
this is lovely! dust was my favorite of the mini arcs and this is genuinely one of my favorite animations ive seen, probably ever? so thank u for making this!
Easily my favorite TAZ animated opening yet. This is so so good
Well, that sure gave me some goosebumps all over my body and shivers down my spine. Well done, friend!
That. Was. Awesome. Absolutely love the smoothness of the animation, and the setup of the sequences. Would more than 100% watch any Adventure Zone with this as an opening! :D
I first watched this before I listened to Dust and it was incredible - since then, I HAVE listened to Dust and this is genuine art, you did an AMAZING job
This really convinced me to finally listen to the Dust arc. IT'S SO GOOD!
this really just hammers home how much i love the Dust theme. i watched your WIP a ton and i'm glad to see it finally finished. great work!
I am losing my mind over how good this is!
Instant fan of your work! This is incredible.
This is absolutely amazing. YOU are absolutely amazing.
THIS WAS SO BOMB
I opened this just to remind myself what the theme sounded like and was immediately hit with “oh my god this is sick as hell” (very gorgeous work this would make a great tv intro)
Dust is my favorite arc and you gave it justice! Amazing!
this is almost unbelievably fantastic. your colour choices reflect the mood of the story perfectly, and the composition of every frame is marvellously put together
HOLY COW this is professional quality. CHILLS - just so well done!
Soooo good! The style is perfect and everything flows so succinctly
This is amazing! This song slapped and your animation goes beautifully with it. I love the symmetry of your images. Great job!
Dude! That was kickass! The whole dust/sand aesthetic, the darker mood to the whole thing, and those reveals are fantastic! Go get yourself a fucking treat of whatever the fuck you want cause that was AMAZING!
I keep coming back to this and it keeps blowing me away. You've just so beautifully encapsulated a fantastic story and world! Thank you for this beautiful video!
This is absolutely incredible, a true work of art. Amazing work!!
geez, this is amazing. the symmetry and symbolism is so great.
this is amazing
I love this so much it’s amazing!! The texture of the art gives it the perfect feel for dust!
I love your designs for all the characters. This is rad.
this is awesome! nice work :D
