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
I love characters like stranger who are unhinged and powerful but not angry or malicious. You have to tread carefully and be clever to appease them. Makes for a great final encounter.
He may no longer be able to do the horrifying mecha-hornet swarm, but VR-LA's trade for Docent is one of my favorite things that happened at the end of last season.
This is an absolutely amazing campaign to listen to. Fantastic table chemistry, the episodic pacing has been so satisfying, and the integration of obscure D&D lore is so seamless and deep. I love it! Looking forwards to more episodes!
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 :)
This one is quite great, but I'm also going to advise Dimension 20 channel's "Escape From The Bloodkeep" and their "Fantasy High" campaigns, and the Kingcast has a fun "Kids on Bikes" game going called "Shelbyville."
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.
I would suggest Oxventure for to reasons, 1. Very episodic with almost every episode having no connection to the last one or the next one 2. At the start only the dm had played dnd
Austin: Very specifically uses it and we and they when referring to Stranger 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! This post was made by an enby who is Very Tired.
This was a good time! I really want to just play D and D with Sophia, she just always seems so excited and genuinely happy to be playing. Also her chanting of 'Friend!' over and over again had me cackling!!
i know it's probably frustating on the table but i find Red rolling constantly low to be hilarious also, the concept of VR:LA at some point needing to converse with a potentially evil potentially chaotic lich is very compelling, especially with how Austin narrate it
It shouldn't have taken me this long to realize I can watch the battles happen here, it wasn't until I heard the mention of the TH-cam viewers directly I realized
Yeah so I just looked at that Compendium and there's a bunch in there that's extremely scary, not the least of which I'd that Eldritch Lich, I'd add some of these to my campaign but for now they don't really fit.
With apologies to Meatball Fulton and the Z.B.S. Foundation. "My name is Cressida." [robo-voice font on] "Cressida." [robo-voice font off] "I'm a Drow bounty hunter. A good one."
Internet, can you help me? @2:04:38 they start humming a song, and it’s killing me because I’m trying to figure out what it is Does anyone know what the song is? Or even just what are the words they’re singing?
For a bunch of people untrusting of the Drow, you're awefully okay with her planeshufting strait back to the client without you. Also, no one has asked how you would go about retrieving your cut after it's done.

Aid
I love this idea!
Kyana; "Uuuhh, Internet?"
Kyana is the richest member by far but doesn't know it because its exclusively in diamonds

that's kind of poetic in some sense, i like it
@@aronseptianto8142 why, thank you!
Eh, my head cannon is that Plug is the captain, or thinks he is, lol.
@@KC-dh1lz i no, plug does believe he is. That not into question.
This may develop into him kicking autos ass for his ship back
I, for one, am loving Austin's alliterations
Austins alliterations are astoundingly amazing
@@Aaron_646
Aaron alliteration awesomely approximate Austin's amazing artistry
As a long time and continuing pun lover, I wholeheartedly agree!
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
Either way, I loved the episode!!! Dani's solution to the climactic social encounter was amazing!!!
When Finbar gave her the poison I honestly interpreted as a threat not a friendly gesture at first.
I love characters like stranger who are unhinged and powerful but not angry or malicious. You have to tread carefully and be clever to appease them. Makes for a great final encounter.
I love the new canon lore of Dani's running is just her speedwalking

nice, just started my first campaign with some friends a few weeks ago, just roll with it is a fantastic podcast podcast imo

Upon the introduction of the new... friend, I too was like “I’m sorry, the Eldritch WHAT????”
This was a good time! I really want to just play D and D with Sophia, she just always seems so excited and genuinely happy to be playing. Also her chanting of 'Friend!' over and over again had me cackling!!
Cressida is so goddamn relatable, I too do not process names ever

This week, on Rolling With Difficulty: Speaking with Difficulty! 😜
Thanks for reminding the podcast listeners that there are visuals over here! I switched over mid episode to see the map.
It actually is the most professional podcast I currently listen to, mostly because you have a consistent plot line
It shouldn't have taken me this long to realize I can watch the battles happen here, it wasn't until I heard the mention of the TH-cam viewers directly I realized
I finished getting caught up yesterday, so I'm pretty hyped to listen to this episode!
This show is what finally pushed me to DM, and its been going great
The fact that a drow has name Cresceda is a mix between very cool and a good pun.
It took me this long to realize that the Cresceda/Lula dynamic is just June/Nyla from Avatar.
listened at midnight. horrifying. 10/10.
yo same hat! im listening at three am! walked into a dark hallway at a terrible time! 10/10 if you like being terrified
VR-LA is Evie. Dani is Johnathan Finbar is O’Connell. Cressida is Ardeth Bay. I’m not sure who Kyana is, she feels like a nice mix
Dani`s solution was so interesting!
Dani, super good at giving poor Stranger an existential crisis accidentally

With Dani decciding to use a boomerang as a gift, I am now convinced that Dani is secretly Related to Edmund Blackadder somehow
They missed an opportunity to do the "deliver the baby while fighting" thing
the auto-transcriptions do some really fun things to VR-LA's name
Mechanus is the rhythm section of the multiverse
I love this series so much, y'all are awesome!
I am about 90% sure that the music at 3:33:00 -ish is ambiance music from Twilight Princess
"Ah, suffering, my old friend"
"...Anyway, that's the sponsor spot-!"
Yeah so I just looked at that Compendium and there's a bunch in there that's extremely scary, not the least of which I'd that Eldritch Lich, I'd add some of these to my campaign but for now they don't really fit.
I also watched Thundercats 2011. Stupid recession and bad toy sales. Stupid execs deliberately merc'ing their own really good show.
Dani has a boomerang? Dani = Sokka confirmed!
1:11:55 Ah yes. The Lord of the Rings world creation method- never mind, Red said it for me 😂
In today's episode; the crew find out that the Go'auld have begun incursions into the Astral Sea.
Was almost hoping for them to adopt a Captain Elder Lich
I SAW THUNDERCATS 2011!!!!! IT WAS A GREAT SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!
With apologies to Meatball Fulton and the Z.B.S. Foundation.

Internet, can you help me?
@2:04:38 they start humming a song, and it’s killing me because I’m trying to figure out what it is
Does anyone know what the song is? Or even just what are the words they’re singing?
I'm pretty sure it's Girl From Ipanema
@@teddywilliams554 yes, thank you!
That's it!
That floating pyramid had to be a destiny reference
vr-la calling finbar a snack
me: AYOOOOO
For a bunch of people untrusting of the Drow, you're awefully okay with her planeshufting strait back to the client without you. Also, no one has asked how you would go about retrieving your cut after it's done.
Ahh, there we go about an hour later, and right when they get to the target' someone finally brings it up.
Cressida is the perfect hero
She’s incredibly interesting
Danny is lancering her
She loves Kiana
And vr-la and finbard are also there
3:49:52 IT WAS CREEPY ENOUGH ALREADY, NOIR!!!!
Reminder Red. You can do a single bonus punch for free
Monk getting good enough to punch reality into compliance with her wishes. Red wants to play a Sidereal Exalt…
2:16:04 A swing and a miss and a fucking howitzer
2:26:42 - Break Starts
2:27:31 - Break ends
But it's so short, why would you avoid the ad that helps them fund the show?
I was expecting Dani Otto's sending stone
Second time listening, and I Am Living rn
I did in fact see Thundercats 2011
3:48:54 "MEOW!"
I Watched thundercats 2011
we have the cameo!
Cameow?
i finished 2 16 min b4 this came out :)
2:39
funny haha comment for the algorithm
Hm. I've decided I like Vahs better than Finbar.
