Dani: What are you writing? VR-LA: Arcadia wants to know what kind of weapons we have on the ship. I'm letting them know it's private information. Kyana, looking over VR-LA's shoulder: This just says 'fuck around and find out' in calligraphy.

Rolling with Difficulties and a breakdown of project creep

Rolling with Difficulty is a live play 5e D&D Planescape podcast. Sophia, who plays Dani (does the Moviestruck podcast and is Overly Sarcastic Productions editor/producer) made several jokes about precious moments figurines in Season 3 so I wanted to make precious moments figurines of the characters. I started that in January of 2023 when Season 3 was playing and I posted it on April 1 of last year.

Since I made those I thought I might as well make minis and since I wanted to reduce the number of packages I held off on sending the precious moments to the RWD PO Box. And since I wanted everything, other than the precious moments figures(because I showed them off while making them), to be a surprise I didn't post any of them. Austin the DM thought that Intellect devourers are too goofy with dog legs so he gave his spider legs which I though was cool so I made it and printed a few. @comicaurora, who plays Kyana, posted some concept art of an ancient drone that appeared for a chapter of Aurora and I was inspired by the one she labeled as dumb so I modeled it. I thought it would be weird to only send one concept and not the one that appears in the comic so I did those too. They got posted earlier and separately since they are not RWD.

By the end of Season 3 I had modeled the original crew and Dani's robot cat Plug and printed a mini of each(plus and extra Dani for season 1 red Dani) for their player and Austin. I though I should send a Plug in scale with the Precious Moments figures and that the rest of the crew would want them. So I printed one for every cast member.

And then between seasons 3 and 4 they did a Weird Little dude one shot giving official art for every crew member's companion. One of Finbar's pixies Old Bay, one of VR-LA's mechanical bugs Drone, and Kyana's pseudo dragon Sunny. So I modeled all of them and printed one for their player and one for Austin. I was trying to paint and send out all them before Season 4 started so I wouldn't have to model Vhas. Well Season 4 ended in September 2023 and I'm posting this now. Season 5 was announced to be the last about the crew of the Per Aspera and I was still procrastinating on painting them so I made peace with them not being painted and just sent them. Austin told me he opened the packages right before recording the last episode of Season 5.

And I ended up needing to send them in two boxes despite not wanting to send more than one being the reason I delayed sending them.

The Models can be Downloaded for free from

Dani really is the character ever. She came from nothing, she broke the laws of the multiverse, she built a pet cat at like twelve, she does drag racing, pivotal parts of her appearance have changed five times in the span of one year, she’s the captain of a ship, she named herself after a soda brand, she died and came back to life, she’s begrudgingly kinda into her the most pathetic man alive, she collects all kinds of definitely toxic substances from her adventures, she was a child prodigy, she was almost killed by a sheep, she even has adhd.

[theexhaustedqueer]

my favourite thing about the back half of Campaign 1 is that the crew of the Per Aspera at that point consists of: Kyana, who has a rare secret bloodline that gives her two souls and a never ending quest to fight evil, VR-LA, the actual chosen one of Mystra and someone who has made bargains with several other mystical beings, and Vhas, who’s divinely favoured by Ysgard, the chosen one of the Githzerai, and has been tasked with united the Githzerai and Githyanki under one sky. And then there’s Dani. A random orphan mechanic from the City of Brass who just happened to be in the right place at the right time to get her hands on a spelljammer. And the best part? Dani is objectively the most dangerous member of the crew.

And the adventure continues!

this podcast has meant so much to me over the past year. It's the first actual play I've ever listened to and it made me love dnd and want to play it even more than I already had. I am both sad that we're only going to see these characters in one shots, and incredibly excited to see what the next campaign is going to bring. These guys will always have a special place in my heart and I could not think of a better ending for their story

Tomorrow will be a week without the crew of the PerAspera. I am unreasonably attached to these characters and miss them horribly. Huge thanks to the crew of Rolling With Difficulty. You are amazing people. Whatever you decide to do next, your listeners will be listening with love.

(Side note: Thursday procreate glitches out on me and I lost this whole piece and had to rebuild it from scratch. Here's to procreate's time lapse video feature and tracing your own work.)

Vhas: So VR-LA, are you the only person in this crew who's physically died?

VR-LA: Technically yes, and I'd prefer to keep it that way.

Vhas: ...

VR-LA: ...

Vhas: HEY DANI CAN WE GO TO YSGARD

VR-LA: VHAS NO

This is what Ashardalon’s Stride looks like to me

Finbar: Dani, remember when you said you weren’t going to interfere with my love life? Dani: No, that doesn’t sound like me at all.

[impact-frame]

VR-LA's feeling just a bit targeted. He's just a lil guy.

Dani Character Sheet (Season 1-5)

[moltengoldveins]

gotta love RWD, the only DnD actual play to have at least three (3) confirmed ace player characters and one (1) man who was so UNace his exes were a significant plot point more than once AND he got married and left about it.
