    So incredibly in character for Dani to get a nat 20 on whether or not she's being lied to about payment for a job, I love how the dice work with the story sometimes

    I can't wait for Kyana to stock up enough money to straight up buy the Per Aspera from Otto and everyone else is like "Where the shit did you get that much cash??"

      @@trianglean806 You know what, you’re right. I forgot that part. Change of plans, I think she should get a set of brass knuckles and put diamond spikes on them. Even if it doesn’t change her damage, it’s got to be disheartening to get punched by something worth more than your immortal soul.

    In my own headcanon, VR-LA is still the captain and will be from here on out. Mostly because of how it works as a narrative arc, from VR-LA asking everyone if they wanted to be the captain to discovering that he was the captain all along.

    When Stranger said "How does the object remember... I wish I could..." I was really REALLY hoping VR-LA would also bring an additional gift of an empty data sphere, so that Stranger could record their most important moments going forward

    Idk if anyone will read this, but I just want to say thanks for getting me into D&D! I'd heard of it before but this podcast is my first real exposure to it. I'll try to find other D&D podcasts but I don't think any of them will quite measure up to Rolling With Difficulty :)

      For some good, solid D&D and especially DMing advice (if that it the role you aim for), I'll suggest looking at Ginnie Di's youtube channel. And for pure comedy, I'll advise bingeing JoCat's "Crap Guide To D&D" series.

    Also Austin: Uses the phrase 'vaguely dude shaped' in an effort to help the party realize this is not in fact the queen But Fucked Up From Magic Bullshit
    Party: Oh! So he/him!
