Rolling with Difficulty Season 3 Episode 5: “Ad Astra: Part 1”

Throughout the Planescape there are countless wars between good and evil, lawful and chaotic. Forces of great power shift the very nature of reality. These are not their stories...

Join the crew of the Per Aspera as they make a living in the expanse of the scape. No job is too odd, no region too remote for this motley crew of adventurers. From the fiery City of Brass to the winding woods of the Feywild, they'll go wherever the day takes them aboard their trusty Spelljammer. 

Every episode of this D&D 5e actual play podcast follows a different entry in the adventures of the Per Aspera, and are intended to be watched in any order your heart desires. Follow the tale from the beginning, or jump in along the way, however you listen it's sure to be a wild ride!

Content Warning: Giant Insects, Entomophobia As the century brood awakens, five inhabitants find themselves drawn to an ancient ruin, and the tense standoff between the Farmerlings and Cloudlings that reside there. How will they sway the situation? And will they escape before the Imago arrive?
We dive into the system "Cloud Empress" in this one-shot adventure! Along with special guest player Eric Silver of Join the Party Podcast, and lead by our very own Red, the crew dives into a Ghibli-inspired world and braves environmental doom. Will they survive?  Rolling with Difficulty Campaign 2, "Open and Shut," begins this summer! Return to Sigil and join our new team of adventurers for hire as they help solve crime (and other problems) in the City of Doors. ---Our show contains fantasy violence (and the occasional foul language), treat us like a PG-13 program!--- Rolling with Difficulty Patreon:
