Short Rest: Skaldova S2 - Ep. 1

Gütersloh mentioned, holy crap that was unexpected! I live in Berlin but close enough. Wen Gütersloh live concert?

What are they referencing at 16:50 with the "dean scream"? I know the kid commander in the episode but i dont get murph saying it ruined a camlaign or the hollywood access reference. Im guessing a dungeon court I missed?

honestly, im currently getting over covid right now, and all i can think about it a couple days before sharing sips from cocktails with a friend (who did NOT have covid, nor was i symptomatic yet) and thinking oh god what if i had given my friend covid from our cheeky little cocktail shares 😭 im with murph on this one, tho similarly my husband and i share a LOT

why are they pretending they don't know how troll regen works

Laughed out loud at the relatability of Murph describing his reaction to being asked for a sip of his drink

Im kinda baffled by “there’s a bunch of ways to swing a sword, only one way to heal” Objectively not true. There are more ways to heal than there are to attack (ie you roll a D20 for your sword… the end) But beyond that: cleric actually has perhaps the most customization of any class, they are way more than just healers Oops all clerics would go hard

It’s not Disney, but that complaint about “beast is always the beast again” reminded me of The Swan Princess sequels so hard.

I think Emily would have fun being a twilight domain Cleric

Emmett Otter's Jugband Christmas is a must watch during the holidays! It's the best, it's so cute and wholesome.

I'm with Caldwell i thought they meant cats too lol I had to Google dean scream and oh boy

i really appreciate murph's covid consciousness cause everyone else acts like it just doesnt exist anymore

Please never talk about balls of hair again

Oi! #1 cleric defender you dont actually have to do much healing as cleric. All you need is healing word and revivify. Maybe prayer of healing. Theres so much creativity in clerics, spiritual weapon or guardian of faith. Also forge and twilight domain rock

Yall longhairs need a tub shroom!!!

Nawww slurp that broth, gurl! It’s just shellfish broth at the end and it’s liquid gold, babbyyyyy! I’ll fight my wife to drink that shit!

The guy who played Dunk in Knight of the 7 Kingdoms would be a great live action human prince

Emily, yall meelntioned an all wizard party recently. You NEED to listen to BomBARDed. Its an all Bard multiclass campaign where they roll to improvise a song every episode and solve music theory puzzles.

okay IDK where to put this but i had a dream last night of yall doing a segment where you do an “advice” column where you give “advice” as the different characters— like frankie, moonshine, adam etc

EMMET OTTERS JUGBAND CHRISTMAS MENTIONED!!!

EMMET OTTERS JUGBAND CHRISTMAS MENTIONED

Speaking of Emmet Otter, a great Muppet holiday special with real mixed bag energy is The Christmas Toy. Not as good as Emmet Otter imo but much weirder, just really bizarre. Picture Toy Story but it’s Christmas and if humans see the toys they basically die

My Dad loves Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas. the Outtakes are amazing I should watch it more. I've seen it once or twice but my dad talks about it A LOT

This was hard to eat lunch to

EMMIT OTTER JUG BAND CHRISTMAS MENTION!!! yall gotta watch it for mixed bag it’ll be the longest 40 minutes of your life (said with love). the bloopers are actually the funniest bits ever tho

Confirmed broth hater Brian Murphy should've recused himself from the conversation regarding his wife's mussel dregs; as a soup expert, I can confirm that Emily was well within her rights to enjoy the white wine broth. In fact, *not* doing so would be a waste of the liquor (juices) of the mussel which emerge during the steaming process. To quote the great cook Howard Mitcham on the subject of clam liquor: "it is ambrosia, fit for the gods themselves". He even recommends serving steamed clams with a mug of their broth, which I can confirm is delicious.

Caldwell should’ve been on Game Changer longer!!

My hair is so long it goes past my fingertips but I have never clogged a shower drain in my life... I have no idea what Emily and Murph are doing lol but if you haven't tried a hair trap that protrudes upwards (rather than a flat one or one that dips into the drain hole), in my experience those are much less likely to float up and let hair pass under them I love all the emergent naddpod products, I laughed so much at the development of the anti-backwash straw. Has anyone ever compiled a list of all the products that were brainstormed during short rests?

I watched Emmitt otters jug band Christmas when I was a kid in the 80s and loved it, I showed it to my kid when they were little and they loved as well. It's really sweet and a little sad, like all good Christmas specials should be

Hearing that a bastion can have a gambling component to make passive income makes me wonder if the Wurst in Starstruck (D20) was also run with bastion rules. It did function as a home but it also had a self-sustaining economy with the Jib Job workers and casino. I know that Starstruck was mostly SW5e, but it doesn’t seem like having the ship function as a business would be part of that system. I don’t remember if Brennan ever addressed this.

New mixed bag: beauty and the beast 1987 tv show with Ron Perlman and written by George RR Martin it’s actually an underground drama with a lawyer and the beast

The easy fix to the drink problem is what bartenders do for a taste test. You put a clean straw in the drink, cover the top with your finger, pull it out and drink it. It keeps the liquid in the straw. No backwash, no contamination.

I once gave my non-healing party a joke dagger of healing that did 1d4 damage then 1d4 healing and they used it constantly whenever a party member went down

At home, my girlfriend and I do “shared bev” where we pretty much exclusively drink from the same cup. We get a lot of strange looks when we forget that we’re in public and still bust out the shared bev

Screaming crying throwing up please watch Emmett Otter it’s a timeless classic that can be watched whenever! It’s so wind and the willows adjacent I can’t believe none of them have seen it!

So psyched for the stormlight reference

If COVID is the concern, it's airborne so Caldwell is right, yelling particulate at each other in an enclosed space is way more likely to get you sick than sharing a sippy

BOGTEAU?

If you dip your straw in a drink, then put your thumb over the top of the straw, then remove the straw it will hold the liquid inside, no germ sharing necessary

I feel like I’ve never had that experience with escargot?

The challenge with having a working keep like Bogtu is that you have to know enough about what's going on to be able to notice if your steward is fucking you. You can luck out and get a trustworthy steward but that's not guaranteed, and of course just like any other job they might just be bad at it. And you have to understand what the community and the lands need well enough to be able to make a call when a decision needs to be made—you can't completely leave that up to your workers and your tenant farmers, because they might disagree with each other. I read too many historical novels about the nobility, lol.

The Buds being so worried about inheriting the burden of the bastion is so funny.

I watch emmett otter every christmas with my family, you gotta watch it

Emmett Otter watch party!

Predator is one of my favorite movies. It made me understand action movies

You know what's crazy i forgot how good skaldova was

Most fun I've ever had was playing in a 1 to 20 campaign 19 levels stars druid and 1 life cleric focusing almost entirely on healing. I find huge healing numbers just as exciting as huge damage numbers, sometimes even more because it gets the rest of the party so hyped

I am so fucking happy we’re back in Skaldova! I love these characters. I love how different they are from one another. They make me laugh so fucking much with how they reaction to literally everything.

Yo if you need someone to play wow with Let’s play I’ll tank for you

Listening to this the day after my father’s death, smiling and thinking of the things he used to say that may or may not have made any sense

Look up the tesla valve for your A.B.S.

Fun fact: According to Howard Ashman, they were going to have Belle ask the Prince if he'd mind growing a beard at the end of Beauty and the Beast, but the studio heads nixed it.

While we're talking about obscure Muppets videos: Billy Bunny's Animal Songs.

My family has watched Emmett Otter every Christmas since before I was born! The music is so good- Caldwell you especially would love it being from Tennessee. That mashup of Our World and Brothers at the end makes me emotional to this day- such a great message the movie portrays as well.

highlyyyy recommend the tubshroom as a second line of defense for long hair in the shower drain. functional but also just a fun name + shape

Hey so escargot is DEFINITELY NOT supposed to have any grit to it. Awesome with some butter and bread

Murph needs to play wow forever!

Wasn’t Bev a bit clericish? I know he was a paladin, tomato tomato?

Knightly Prowess Or Nightly prowess?

Covid broke murphs brain 😂 people like this dont realize how dirty the world is. If you're sharing a space with someone youre breathing in their lung particles constantly lmao

I was always my daughter’s beast until Tangled came into her world.

Can we comment on the fact Hardwon predator shakes Ol’ Cobb’s hand all the time and he’s never seen the movie?

Honestly don’t get how Emily doesn’t understand why Murph is ok with sharing food with her and no one else. You guys are married!

Straw or sip? Nah, pipette!

I used to be icked by the idea of eating snails, but turns out they’re big eats in my culture (🇻🇳). Chewy, bigger than I anticipated. Bet I would’ve enjoyed it more with a different more flavorful sauce.

My family watches Emmet Otter every Christmas. Its such a nice movie. <3

I need the 2 crews reaction to the riverbottom nightmare band in Emmett Otter

Guys you can't keep making products my Parma Charm hasn't even come in yet!

A scuffle with a parm charm

Oh my GAHD! You MUST do an Emmett Otter watch! I’m so excited for you! It’s going to delight you! Emily is going to loooooooove the music.

Anti backwash straw, look at the tesla valve. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_valve

Literally the only healing spell you need is Healing Word. Everything else is a wasted action.

Clerics get kind of pigeonholed into being healers but the spells are SO varied like there’s tons of options and ways to make a cleric that would let you act dynamically when you don’t necessarily need healing. Spiritual Weapon is one of my favorite spells, and it FEELS combat-specific but being able to just conjure a floating weapon is super versatile. I mean still mostly for hitting people but that’s fun.

“Wife Bite” “Germ Concern” “Side Sip” “Lip on Glass”

Growing up in Canada, the CBC played Emmett otter every year

I hate to be a zoomer but I did have to look up what a Dean Scream is

Emily I’m sorry to say, I think ABS already exist..I’m pretty sure my car has anti backwash straws in it somewhere.. whenever I turn it on it flashes this ABS light at me.. I’ll have to dig deeper..

Listening to this while having covid for the first time is wild coincidence

You absolutely are allowed to tip and sip

Love how this episode started with the vibe of like the triplets planning their Tudor mansion and then there were half-eaten corpses

If you like butter and garlic, you like escargot.

Emmet Otters jugband is a favorite of mine and my mom's around Christmas! The bloopers are great too!

Emmett Otters Jugband Christmas is a favorite in my family! It's one of the movies I make a point to watch every year. It's genuinely sooooo good and the songs are great. And that's not just childhood nostalgia talking - I've shown it to multiple people who never watched it as a kid and it's always been a hit

I feel that Emmet Otter’s jugband Christmas is a movie that can only be watched on VHS, I used to watch it every year but I don’t have a vhs player anymore and I can’t bring myself to stream it it feels wrong.

Can someone remind me which campaign was ruined by the Howard Dean scream? 🤔

murph yelling “that’s different we make out” at emily is so funny

my personal favourite bit of worldbuilding in skaldova is the sister lakes :) its a really beautiful and sweet thing in skaldovas dark(er) world and it reminds me of me and my own sister!

Tell Emily that I love her but not too much on the prince from Tangled’s facial hair. That is a certified hottie!!

I got taken to see Emmett Otter’s Jug Band Christmas 2 years ago. No one in my family had any real idea what it was and the vibes were so kooky and bizarre. Needless to say I got blitzed off of overpriced concession wine.

My ex's favourite team is also Tottenham and whenever it came up I always used to send him a short clip of it, so now that we're broken up all mentions of Tottenham make me feel kinda melancholy 😅

Jake is truly already a jaded Tottenham fan, poor guy

Agreeing to share you drink while quietly dying inside is a real slice of life.

Jake, thanks for mentioning the stronghold rules. I’ve been working on a scifi campaign and a functional base sounds perfect!

Glad Zudrick is finally getting his rest.

Emily - Formal dining etiquette suggests that you use a spoon to get the juice, but, I prefer feigning confidence and making casual eye contact with other diners. Act like a queen that is delighted by the customs of the peasants, and you can eat however you choose. Sip that juice!

I need closure on who’s hair was really clogging the drain. My instincts say Murph would have less experience with the concept, and would be less likely to have proper maintenance down. But I think the only way to tell is for someone to sift through the grime to ID the hair

The long hair struggle is real. It just gets everywhere. Whenever I send the robot vacuum round it gets so clogged up I need to rescue it with scissors, thus entirely defeating the point of having a robot to vacuum for me.

cant believe the pic isint the prince from beauty and the beast

unfortunate shoutout for Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure, it does rock

New surprise round: the grinch, sweaty and noticeably parched, comes up to your table outside and asks for a sip of your drink, do you allow him to??

DO NOT SLEEP ON EMMET OTTER

When I was a little kid, i didn’t understand that men could have long hair, so I thought that the Beast transformed into a super buff woman and I was so excited, but then he spoke and I was disappointed. If only Disney was as brave as my toddler mind imagined. Also Emmett Otter bloopers are incredible, highly recommend.

Watched Emmitt otters jug band Christmas for the first time this past year. Super solid. Very sweet

I played a shadow priest that was afraid of shadows. Name was ifearshadows

Obligatory plug for my city: if anyone is ever in Atlanta, the Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas puppets are here in the Center for Puppetry Arts (alongside Globey from Pee Wee's Playhouse, Big Bird, an early Rolf from the Muppets, some Doozers from Fraggle Rock, and a bunch of puppets from Labyrinth!)

Also fun music fact about emmet otters jug band Christmas- the music composer is Paul Williams who was a big song writer in the 70s!! He won a Grammy and an Oscar for his song in A Star Is Born and then also composed the music for emmet otters jug band Christmas 😭😭 such a varied career

I can wholeheartedly vouch for emmet otter’s jug band Christmas 😭 as a kid we watched it in music class and I used to be a little hesitant about it and now that I’m an adult I’m like “this movie is a masterpiece”

A Predator inspired one shot would be so sick

This is why the Fish Barons are so powerful and feared- they control the trout-based communication networks!

Predator View Crew?

fuck yes the perfect thing to wake up to

I want to see the Trinyvale version of getting this bastion like the Trinyvale vs Greenteens arc.

There is a new Freedom Cleric! I don't want to say they stole the idea from WBN... but it's definitely inspired by their Oath of Freedom subclass.

In the same way I loved all of Murph’s Wheel of Time references, particularly in C1, I love hearing Jake admit Hoddle is derived from EPL player Glen Hoddle (assuming). Looking forward to more of this!

Murph is slowly turning into a young Larry David.

For a hot second I thought Mrs Divit was Longest Tom pulling a Mrs Doubtfire.

Emmet Otter's jugband Christmas is mine and my mom's favorite Christmas movie! It would be great for kids or for the mixed bag. I think Caldwell and Emily would really like it

Holy shit, it happened

Thank you daddy Murphy made my day

we are so blessed 🙏

Truly perfect timing i just finished the episode 😅

Two episodes in one day? A feast for my ears

Short rest on a Thursday??
