Rolling with Difficulty

Latest Episodes:

Open and Shut Season 2 Episode 1: "The Show Must Go On" Jan 10, 2025

Show notes

Following their bittersweet victory over the Grixit, the detectives of Open and Shut are back to their usual duties (and researching some personal projects as they do). Striking a deal with the Planar Trade Consortium brings with it a new mystery on familiar ground, familiar faces, and a new investigator to shake up Open and Shut's status quo...

Producer Note: Hi guys! Thanks for listening. We had to roll with some technical difficulties (maybe we should rename the pod?) with Austin's microphone early this session. I cast "fix audio" as best I could, thanks for bearing with it and I hope you still enjoy the episode!

Rolling with Difficulty Presents: "Heartwood Coven" Dec 20, 2024

Show notes

Content Warning: Insects

In the name of TTRPG antics, we'll punish you! In this special one-shot adventure we try out the system Girl By Moonlight and dive into the town of Magnolia. Here the Heartwood Coven, our cast of witchy magical girls, defend the denizens from the goonish forces who threaten to steal their very essence. Can they thwart the villains once more? Can they look cute AND fight crime?

Open and Shut Season 1 Episode 10: "Ouroboros" Sep 13, 2024

Show notes

Content Warning: Character Death

Hot on the trail of the Grixitt, Evrard and the rest of Open and Shut find themselves descending deep below the city. Away from the watchful eyes of the Dabu and the safety of their cozy office, a final showdown begins. Will they bring an end to this portal-closing undead's reign of terror? What will is cost to balance the scales?

With this season finale we have a little announcement from our dear table-mate and beloved bunny, Wally:
"Being a part of Rolling with Difficulty has been an amazing opportunity but unfortunately I need to take a mental health break. Due to real life circumstances I have not been able to focus on bringing my best self to the pod. Luckily I'm not entirely gone and will occasionally pop back up with artwork and maybe even an episode or two during my break. Until then, thank you all for the laughs and good rolls." -Wally

Open and Shut Season 1 Episode 8: "Return to Sender" Aug 30, 2024

Show notes

Knights of the Post are at it again, and as experienced thief/mailman stoppers, the detectives of Open and Shut are hot on their trail. But they're not the only ones tracking these particular Knights, and not everyone is quite so discriminating about how they handle other folks that get in their way...
