== List of References in The Finale ==

It Came From Kiston

• The session opens with a mountaintop battle against a flying creature who has taken their friend and drops her down a hole.
  • The team then has to go down the hole after her, mirroring what the original team did in Kiston as well.
• One of the R&D equipment is a "Kalachakra", which is intended to be thrown down that same hole. When inflated (unfortunately not used in game) it looks like the actual Kalachakra.
• The security system to get into the Under Complex is called "AI Dungeon", which the Kiston team played in their off weeks.
• More of a general Twitch reference, but the AI Dungeon's dice rolling command is [keep] "/rollthedice"
• The first act ends with the appearance (with same sound effects and lighting) of The [Zombie] World Breaker.

Towson Tabletop

• Their briefing officer is a short little enthusiastic man named Henric-O-GAN
• Warforged god "Hat", former member of The Sky Net is recorded giving a long winded exposition of how The Sky Net ultimately became the Alpha Complex in the first place, also with a brief reference to Tiamat's second war (which TT ended at the beginning of)
  • Said exposition is done via a poorly made powerpoint, as all the story-recap videos were done that way in the TT Campaign
• The player of Kragnux makes a visual cameo as the hero who has to slay the dragon in AI Dungeon
• The "QuothDealer" delivers several quotes from this campaign including "The Pigs Will Be the Downfall of us All"
• Speaking of Pigs, the swarm of 100 Guinea Pigs (mentioned above) is actually 100 real pigs, and they trample and kill everyone in a single encounter if they are summoned (aka the TT finale)

Tales of Quelmar

• The "AI Dungeon" security system involves playing a game on a system that looks suspiciously familiar (but at least it didn't crash)
• The Tarrasque they encounter is in fact a "Zombie Tarrasque" (On The Precipice Of History)
• A series of confusing hallways and doors lead to a comedic Scooby-Doo like chase sequence (MotW: A Long Night in Ravendean)
• The "QuothDealer" delivers several quotes from this campaign including "That's the matron that let me lick her sap!" (Fairy Forests of Isonhound)

Brightwater

• Thanks to Jackobot using all their money, the team is now in a ton of Tasha Debt, a mysterious type of debt that disappears and then when least expected, reappears, apparently having just been lurking under the surface
• The "AI Dungeon" security system involves playing a game on a system that looks suspiciously familiar
• There is a mix up regarding a BeeHolder, and which is truly the BeeHolder (spoiler alert the BeeHolder room was in fact just the Bee Holder room)
  • Then further lampshaded when there actually IS a beholder

Underdungeon

• The team's mission takes them to the "Undercomplex", a mysterious, dark, filthy, purple area underneath Alpha Complex.
  • Lampshaded even further when the door to the Undercomplex is graffitied to say "UnderDungeon"
• Budli appears! He is apparently still alive and being used to fuel the entire ecosystem's reanimation of clones.
• A strange blind Beholder appears as the "end boss" of the campaign (but he's easily hacked to bits)

Sick of this Shit

• A mysterious set of arches sits in the Under Complex, complete with a giant deitdoor gem attached to them in a strange futuristic contraption.
• The R&D Equipment is said to be "Compliments of Pend-R-GRA
• "THE POWER OF THE TUNT" is a phrase used to summon 100 Guinea Pigs

OathWielders

• The team gets R&D equipment called
  • ClotheShielders, which apparently plays a small bittune of the OW theme when activated
  • QuothDealers, which has many quotes, including "The Song of Freedom: It Starts with a Handshake and ends on Another Continent"
  • BetrothFeelers
• Additionally the team gets SEVEN of these devices instead of 6 (7 OathWielders)

Realmtrotter's Guide to Zobeck

• The AI Dungeon security system uses a map stolen right from this campaign "Zerachiel Park"
• A mysterious column of runes and lightning appears in the room of suspicious pillars and arches.

SotS Inc

• There's a new firm called "Sick of this Slime Inc" which is run in part by Thomas' Character

Chronepsis Campaign

• Citizen DRU gets a briefing mission from officer HUX regarding something going wrong, and then we never see what happens next and Dru's mission remains unresolved to this day

Uncharted

• Mission Briefing mentions going into Uncharted territory
  • ...okay yeah that's all I could come up with

Tails of Quelmar

• The mission is a Honey Heist
  • The players would later don the all-to-necessary honey heist hats

Atla

• The team is only equipped with knives this session, one-hit kill knives known as "Atlacerators" whose wounds are unhealable.

Secondary Characters

• The "AI Dungeon" security system has a friend who helps guide the players, named "Fantasy Clippy"

The Neighbours

• The Undercomplex is infested by a rival gang...err...secret society, known as "The Crows", though they look more like The Caw-Caws. And act more like COVID-19 (hence their name Corvid-19).

Other

• The standard outfitting is the explorer's pack which is the default in basically every D&D campaign
• The QuothDealers quotes all actually come from the Quelmar twitter
