Short Rest: Ep. 89: Apocalypse

If Big T can Thanos snap her followers, why not just snap everyone and only res the knee benders

“Yall ever fucked with the Torah?” 😂 It is very interesting to hear a group of people discuss the Bible when that I group is: A man with catholic guilt An atheist who studied world religions A man who was raised Christian A Jewish boy

"The opposite of war isn't peace, it's creation." Rent, anybody?

Describing what the camera sees is pretty normal, and it can add some tasty flavor! It's just a matter of how you go about it! :)

Catching up, do you ever think back to this episode and go, “hmm, COVID happened not long after you asked what’s the worst that could happen making a golden idol of Murph?”

As a raised Roman Catholic lad, I felt Murph’s panic when Caldwell mentioned melting the gold of the homeland into a false idol.

The absence of violence is NOT peace! Cheerio! Subscribed for life!

Definitely got a smile of nostalgia from me at the winkle in time reference

Love the Yellowcard reference 😂

Griffin Mcelroy does camera directions sometimes, and it works well

Wait are Wrinkle in Time and Ra Ra Riot not good normal references?

"It's dope how bittersweet it is dude"

Murphy you’re goin ass first in the damn box

I love how The Band of Boobs shit on Yellowcard....meanwhile I still listen to their acoustics. :P $20 bucks Murph was a fan in highschool/

Do we think Luna bent a knee?

this final arc is stressing me out, and i love it

Yes! Wrinkle in Time references!

I agree with thelovely1withahat, where is Lydia Stormborne!?

Ren absolutely would not have bent the knee! People do that for him. I would love to see him join the band of boobs against Thiala

It’s been awhile since I’ve laughed as hard as I laughed at Caldwell and Murph’s ”golden idol” bit in this Short Rest.

There are some game masters like Adam Koebel who use stage directions as their preferred method of describing things in-game. It's a bit strange if you aren't used to it, but if you want to do that Caldwell, I doubt anyone would stop you.

Pendergreens contract will be up before Theala comes back!!

I'd buy NADDPOD whiskey gems!

Dude, EXCELLENT wrinkle in time ref

Murph is a better writer than God. Everyone worship Daddy Murph. Everyone sacrifice a D20 in his name!

If you do a time jump, that means it will be past the 30 days of Geas on Pendergreens

Imma be honest, its been a long time and I don’t remember much for a Wrinkle in Time. But, that image of everyone bouncing the balls in unison? Seared into my small, impressionable child-mind

I cried tears of joy to hear it’s guaranteed Ren will return.

The black and white horse got mixed up. The White Horse has different interpretations, could be Conquest, but when Pestilence is included, that's who it is. The Black Horse is definitely Famine though. (And Pale is Death and Red is War, but you had those right) I mean, they are whoever you say they are in this context, but if you're talking about the actual real-world symbolism, they got mixed.

I gotta know how Maganis and Coldain are. I feel like Maganis might be a crystal

Murph you are a dm on par and if not better than Brendan!!

Fun fact, in philosophy the absence of violence negative peace and the inclusion of social security and justice positive peace.

rose for Murph making roughly 60 rolls in 15 minutes tense, exciting, and novel. I swear his flexibility with the goofs but focus to keep having ‘em throw them dice was a minor miracle

my favorite thing on the short rests is when you guys just shower murph in roses and compliments, it’s real cute.

also, Bev is gonna come back from summer break, first day of highschool, gonna be a level 20 paladin, basically a lower tier demigod, in a room full of highschool dweebs

Emily took me back to 2006 with that naruto ending.

I was getting big World of Ruin vibes from Thelia ascending and the world getting ripped apart.

I yelled, “LUNA” when they started talking about characters they’d like to hear from. So excited about every episode to come!

good Camazotz reference 👌🏼

I love the parallels of people bending the knee to Thaila and being sent away and thanos snap in infinity war. All the speculation of who stayed and who didn’t. Also Instead of giving players new magic weapons all the time I like the idea of if their characters start with weapons that are meaningful to them (sword passed down in family stuff like that) you just power it up by seeing wizards or absorbing power from big bads they kill

The boobs should just say they were training for 30 days straight and demand a 3 level jump

RIP Denny and his entire lineage

I didn’t know how good this content was (my bad I know) and I’ve started watching Fantasy High and the second I pay off my student loans I’ll be sure supporting ya’ll until the end of time. Seriously, you guys have talent!! Thank you guys for all your hard work!

I love RaRaRiot thanks so much for that SUPER DEEP pull bev

There should be a Patreon tier called “The Cult of Murph” we are opposed to Dice Christ and embrace the madness that is a D20.

Caldwell, was "she played me like a damn fiddle" a Metal Gear reference or is that just wishful thinking on my part?

I want to know what would have happened if Bev had failed that final death save. If Bev died would Thiala have just brought him back to life herself since she needed him for her plan?

We're officially at the point in this campaign where I have to check the comments section before I click play so I feel like I won't be walking into character death :

I will buy whiskey gems. Please put them in the shop.

I’m super excited! I have to say this though: what about Shadowfell? Will Lydia make an appearance? Technically, Thiala represents the Chosen (you know....milk) so..... I wonder if Lydia will send her revenge??? And also; wonder what the other gods of the light think.... could be interesting.... Thank you guys so much for an amazing episode!!

New Short Rest canon: Murph is a better writer than God himself.

I know Ra Ra Riot! I got your ref, Caldwell

“He drew a Wilson on a diamond” is my new all-time favourite throwaway joke on this podcast.

Every time I see a new episode "Murph better not have fucked with Cob or Paw Paw"
