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

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.)

[astraldraco]

@kathbunny here is your present for @emis-equivalent-exchange !! Everybody’s showing off their weird little dudes to their friends/partners, except for Vhas, who is very irritated about this. I hope you like it!! :)

Timelapse below the cut!

[bbaked-beans]

I'm gonna miss them :(( I can't believe it's over whaaa! I've been listening to rolling with difficulty since the very beginning and it seems like it started just yesterday, absolutely wild to me that we've reached the finale!

I'm excited to see what awaits us in the next campaign!

Vhas, after being feebleminded and watching VR-LA be eaten, drops his weapons and gives him a hug.

[puppuddart]

they made it. one of many love letters i’ll make (? let’s just roll with the analogy for now lol) to this podcast that’s given me so much joy and so much new creativity.. also, new art inspiration and another excuse to use the lightpen

[moltengoldveins]

yeah no I’m gonna say it AGAIN, VR-LA standing at one hit point, reeking of rot, eyes glowing in the aftermath of a vision, oil dripping from the dagger plunged directly through his heart and the corners of his mouth, grinning as DX-TR asks in horror “What ARE you?” And then spitting in DX-TR’s face as he screams “I’m the ghost of your past, present, and $&(@ing future and I’m going to GODDAMN HAUNT YOU-“ as Vhas comes up behind him and slices his head off might be my favorite image of the entire series holy crap.

When your simple expression practice gets out of hand and turns into two full sheets of chibis. This always happens and explains why nothing ever gets finished. I guess... reaction emotes anyone? 😅

[pens-in-a-jam-jar]

Vhas my Beloveddddddddddddddddddd T~T

[indilaras]

S4 Crew of the Per Aspera in my uh... pseudo-chibi style? Anyway I miss them <3

ID: a drawing of the Crew of the Per Aspera over a starry night sky background. From left to right: Kyana smiling, with one fist up, her Astral Arms mimicking her pose;

Dani frowning with the cannon emitting blue flames behind her; VR-LA holding his staff, surrounded by electricity and circular magic effects;

Vhas grinning and winking, with his sword on his shoulder; and Finbar smiling with one hand on his chest, floral magic effects around him. End ID.

[4letteraroace]

Ok ok. Hear me out on this

Kyana and Vhas on skateboards

YES.

both of them trying to impress Cressida but she’s too busy watching Roy fall on his face.

Kyana fully looks like a skater girl. Gorgeous long hair that flows in the wind and arm muscles that look so good while carrying by a skateboard. every girl comes to the skatepark to watch kyana. 1000%

oh and vhas is there too and having a great time

[fanaticalfanfantasy]

After putting it off for days, I have finally finished the rolling with difficulty C1 finale.

I’d like to thank the community, the people behind the podcast, and finally the Crew of the Per Aspera and co for helping me through many difficult times, for making me love D&D and bringing me so much joy that I cannot help but grieve even though this end comes with new beginnings.

Simply put by VR-LA: “Thank you for finding me and setting us off on this adventure, thank you for keeping us together, thank you for being my friend “

Feel free to reblog with your own thoughts and rwd quotes

To many more seasons and adventures.
