The turn at "...and I didn't do anything wrong" is some Emmy-level stuff

[@frameddonut1056]

1 year late but can you imagine if they one day make an animated show out of Calamity?? This moment would be so cool!

[@Klespyrian]

I got so fucking giddy I damn near had to pull over when I was listening to it. I had been waiting for the shoe to drop for so long - what a perfect reveal.

[@__Kurobei___]

@@frameddonut1056i mean they are making a might nien series on top of the legend of vox machina which already scored its next season so at this point its just a question of do they go to the next campaign or do they have some quick fun on a one of movie featuring the calamity.

Yup it's like vegeta in dragon his pure heart to go supersaiyan is ego

[@DragonsDungeon]

“My last heart break, is that when I have collected every last mortal soul into my pit, I will *only* have eternity to punish them” I do not see enough people talking about this line, it’s so dark and so incredible to show Asmodeus’ character. Eternity. Forever. Infinite time, is not enough for him. It’s terrifying and made me love Brennan that much more as a DM

[@JockenN]

An amazing line, but my favorite one is when he tells Xarxes: "The difference between you and Pelor, god of the sun, is that he is slightly more humble" (paraphrasing). Telling a mortal he's more arrogant than a god is rough.

[@manticorephoenix]

To a God, even eternity is nothing, I guess cause at that point they’re already over it and without something to do day after day it’s just another “mundane” aspect of their existence, I guess its their own version of the phrase “I don’t have enough hours in the day to get done what I want to get done”

[@h3rmesactual]

For me, it's the "You said you would help me confront those who did this to me. Wake up Xarxes, you did this to me!"

[@JamMcDog]

Asmodeus' motivations really remind me of AM from "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream", I wonder if Brennan was inspired by that at all

[@zippomage]

the entire performance is.....mwhah, perfection. I sometimes dream of it.

[@Gonroamin]

I love how he captures just how obscenely powerful Asmodeus is. Just casually eviscerate a PC, then break the laws of time. TWICE.

One if the best things D&D did in their editions was to stop giving statistics for gods. They can all just do whatever the DM says.

[@TheMikesc15]

@@elbruces Honestly that is also a great way of going about it when they give out "port folios" for the gods as well as a clear understanding of what said god's believes are, as that gives you plenty of understanding towards what type of spells and sort said god would be interested in.

I LOVE BRENNAN'S VILLAINS, I'M SO GLAD HE CANONICALLY DEPICTED ASMODEUS

[@JudgementFish]

His portrayal of Asmodeus was well thought out and delivered amazingly

[@Magrijack]

The fact that this god actually makes the players feel “mortal”, like they are toys in the hands of a higher power, is something that very rarely works, but was perfect for this scenario.

[@onilink134]

And this, my friend, is why the Divine Gate is a necessity. Because this is what happens when you give Gods a sandbox.

[@drbeard4505]

I think it works here because Xerxes let Asmodeus in. This whole beat down is a consequence to player action; he opened his heart and soul to THE devil thinking a friendship speech would heal a wound that was oozing when the universe was new. I'm not really big on the "the gods can just do w/e." style of play in D&D but in this case you paid for the ticket with plenty of opportunities to realize just what kind of ride you were signing up for.

[@bludfyre]

​@@drbeard4505But they are gods. It's not like an ancient dragon, or a level 20 archmage-turned-lich. It's the literal Lord of the Hells, in full form. Gods should be basically impossible for PCs to affect, unless special circumstances occur (such as it being a fragment of the deity that the PCs are trying to send back to their realm.)

[@stanisawankowski8243]

What I love about Brenans portrayle of Asmodeus is that he doesn't play him like a high level monster. The way he describes his form shifting, how he is breaking the reality (time stop in a time stop) and that most of what he does is not rolled but just happens. This is what a god is supposed to be! Something unthinkable and impossible to Understand

[@pretentiousname01]

The absolute I don't even give a fuck energy of that counter spell is so good.

[@Galaxy613]

"You want to use magic against me? I AM MAGIC"

[@Achridian]

Yep, that’s why it’s very hard to fit godly level stats into a stat block in D&D. A FRAGMENT of Tiamat, typically considered a LESSER DEITY in comparison to some others, has 30 strength and constitution, which is literally the highest the game system is built to allow. They’re on an entirely different level.

[@jackdog06]

Only two beings in Critical Role history have used a 9th level spell slot for counterspell: - The first is the Lord of the Hells Asmodeus - The other is Scanlan Shorthalt

[@alinalisan3361]

One is one of the most powerful beings in existence. The other is Asmodeus.

[@alexspain9103]

And it perfectly encapsulates what that spell means. The former, the absolute power of judgment and wrath upon the hubris of mortals. The latter, the absolute power of defiance and hope in mortal hearts in the face of impossible odds.

[@jaciejcjay]

@@manticorephoenix It's not "right" in its definition, but it is amazingly well portrayed for the emotions you'd expect from this kind of dude.

[@Mega2chan]

And yet I find it brilliant how his beliefs on redemption are also the thing that pushed him to give Vespin a few more moments of lucidity, which then gave the entire group the opportunity to stop the primordials from being freed and join the Betrayer Gods. I think that, at the end, Zerxus wasn’t able to atone himself through his own actions, but that of all the others he previously looked down upon. The people of Avalir, the city he wouldn’t call home, fought together to protect his son. The leaders and upper class of the city stood behind to help the common citizens escape. Laerryn’s scientific hubris he previously admonished used to save the entire world from certain doom. Zerxus may not have been able to redeem anyone, much less himself, but his actions pushed others to strive to be better. In a way, his failure was what led other people to redeem themselves.

Honestly one of the best DMing examples ever.

Its like railroading with style that only a professional story teller can pull off and giving the player a powerful illusion of choice.

[@AdrasAdraki]

ppl always hate the idea of railroading but if im being honest it worked incredibly well here and in most dnd games, but here being a show first and foremost it works wonderfully well.

[@BeinIan]

The trick is to make the players forget that the railroad is there. Rollercoasters are on rails, but they're still exciting. The real problem is when the DM and the players have different ideas of the kind of game they want to play. If the players are expecting action and the DM is hyper-focused on political intrigue and romance sub-plots, suddenly the railroad isn't fun anymore.

[@tuffy1992]

Brennan is a master of railroading without rails.

[@bootleg_]

Technically every D&D game, unless played like a sandbox, is railroaded. You all know what the end goal is for you at the start. Get the mcguffin. Kill/friend the BBEG. Stop the revolution. Topple the government. It's all about how a GM is able to mask it, their ability to paint it with believable storytelling. Many times in Calamity, despite knowing their future as players, the characters made distinct, unique and impactful decisions which lead to the same outcome. Cerrit saves his kids and his lineage. Loquatius ends up sending thousands of people to a brighter future. Zerxus is given a second chance to protect and heal his allies. Laerryn stops ancient primordials from wrecking even more havoc. It all ends with "The Calamity". Many times they also felt like they made a decision when in reality, it was the only decision they could make. Like blighting the tree or even experimenting with reality tearing. Choosing to sympathize with the literal Devil. Brennan played into each character's weakness to make them "follow the railroad". Which, the takeaway here is that Brennan is a phenomenal GM able to play into who the characters are and what the players want to do with them. That is all to say that session 0's are REALLY important too! Expectations are the blueprints for the rails of which players are put on.

[@SchwartzerAdler]

It's not railroading exactly. It's just that the story cannot come to another close. There is no other way. They could have made any decision at any time, the end of it was determined before the campaign even started.

[@thewovenmantis6813]

I mean you say railroading, but in all fairness Asmodeus is basically a god - he can do whatever he wants.

Brennan as Asmodeus is much more terrifying in his own voice. The artificial demon voice is actually less scary.

Every line that Brennan spits out, I imagine that gif of the guy writing fire into paper. So many things can be quoted from ExU Calamity.
