Rolling with Difficulty Presents: "Heartwood Coven"

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?
--Our show contains fantasy violence (and the occasional foul language), treat us like a PG-13 program!--

"Have you considered giving your fish more sticks?" - I think no one ever better summarized a tarot reading than this. Perfection!!

[@owo_blue_ninja3483]

wow I never woulda guessed Noir would be a science student and Austin a botany student, that’s so out of character for them!!

[@gyrrakavian]

"I swear you could find this woman in a six-pack at w*lmart." The _shade_ in that line. (Granted, I've absolutely run into people like that before.)

[@CMelon-xe1qc]

I feel like we have to address the miraculous ladybug vibes, also I love the dynamic of a time traveler and a fortune teller betting on who knows the future better

[@sylph4252]

Yall know the meme of Apollo chucking the gift of profecy at a random person? That's Red with tarot in this silly oneshot

[@WolfBoy-om6dw]

It took me a while to finally finish this video, but overall, I really enjoyed it! I hope that after Open and Shut is wrapped up, you guys consider running a magical girl campaign, that'd be sick!

[@Rubymagicalgirl88]

Or an urban fantasy which open and shut is closed to.

[@Crow-sw8vk]

Penelope scooping up rue makes me think of luz picking up amity with amity responding "oh wow sports"

[@maximhoppe5094]

I rarely comment, but i just wanted to say how much i love and appreciate everything you guys put out. Ive wached every episode and one shot and theyve all been amazing and the highlight of my Friday. Thank you to everyone who works on this!

[@nobodyimportantt341]

need that spotted lanternfly shirt

[@Ceradeez]

Finally, the peak session

[@theladyofwhims]

This was very fun to listen to. Hope we can see more of the Heartwood Coven in the future =)

[@Fanciest_Panda]

Never in all of 2024 did I expect for an Eye Shield 21 mention XD 10/10 No Notes

[@noir4180]

The accuracy the cards have is spot on, though sometimes they just don't help like The 10 of Wands which just says what you already knew. I wish there were going to be more sessions

[@pyrosianheir]

Came for the magical girls, stayed for the absolute cringe cuteness of Roux and Penelope, lmao.

[@salvation120]

Who is Noir talking hockey with? I've never heard someone call it a "sin bin." That's a penalty box! 😂

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

Ah, I was hoping we might get a RWD drop soon! It's just sad that my pod-catcher, Castbox, always drops these a day late. Oh, well. I'll re-listen to some Open And Shut for tonight.

[@lexgray42]

this. is. perfect. (30 seconds in)

[@Rubymagicalgirl88]

Did I hear the name of the team right? Was it a Sappho reference?

[@sarahniebergall]

I loved this so much! I hope they do another game like this!

[@professorplumish]

This oneshot was so fun!

[@crimsonpresents]

What’s up with Noir and conspiracy boards?

[@herbertkraft7379]

Wanna start a conspiracy about it?
