And how do you even play?!"If our D&D-inspired tangents have left you feeling a little perplexed, then this is for you! Our talented pal Seth McKay stepped behind the DM Screen to lead our party of four boisterous adventurers through a fiery, funny, and very very dangerous encounter.

Join us for a LONG overdue chat with our favorite designer, beatmaker and wannabe lycanthrope, Evan Bivins! We attempt an unqualified armchair diagnosis—at Evan's request, of course—and use the words "Venn Diagram" a whole bunch. We recorded and edited this podcast using an incredible tool called Descript. It allows us to record audio and video, sure, but then edit that audio/video using the text transcription it produces. We’re big into making podcasts accessible, so this is a no-brainer

Five minutes before they started recording this episode, Alison tossed the outline out of the window. Instead of the original topic they had chosen, she informed Matt they should have a very open and honest conversation about the goings-on in their most recent D&D session.In an inadvertent "Part 2" of episode 10 (Free To Be You and Me), AK puts Matt's money where his mouth is…can he make the table more inclusive to everyone? Did these two friends settle the score amicably? Tune in to

Best practices for making neurodivergent brains feel welcome at your gaming table!A question, from our Discord Server: How about going in-depth on things that have made y’all feel welcome to show up as your whole self at a gaming table (or conversely what will put your walls up or make it harder to engage)? What are best practices for the neurotypicals around you to make a gaming table rad for their neurospicy friends?(Thanks to our great friend Alejandro Tey for supplying this one!)C'mon

Alison and Matt challenge each other to talk about anything else besides ADHD and TTRPGs.The ADH-Duo wonder aloud whether they have any other passions beyond neurodiversity or role playing games. Spoiler alert: they aren't that successful at keeping off topic. But this leads them to dive into past passions and why they loved them, and why they love them a little less now. We have the best Discord Server in the Land, and when you join it, you will actually talk to us, and not a bunch of AI

Alison's only hangups involve vegetables, apparently, and Matt embraces the Chaos, in this episode about Leveling Up with ADHD. Do we gain real-life levels through XP, or Milestones? Porque no los dos? We ponder this week on some of the things that we have learned about ourselves in the past year: about ADHD, about D&D, about eating all kinds of plant-based things. And Matt likens his ADHD to a Warlock's Otherworldly Patron, the Dark One, the Fiend, and suddenly life just makes way more

AK and Matt have two questions for you, today: is the ADHD tax real? and are we in a cult?The answers are yes, for sure, and…probably not? Unless you really were a part of the Satanic Panic, back in the day, and if so, mad respect, 'cuz that probably took a ton of time and energy. And speaking of the ADHD tax, we have a Patreon that we want to make sure to remind everyone that they might still be paying for: https://www.patreon.com/bivinsbrothers .

We are braving our crippling Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria by getting real honest today about what we specifically do to spike our Dopamine levels, and take a good hard look at whether we build Player Characters that inherit our ADHD.

One of Matt's dearest and oldest friends and brilliant learning and behavior specialist, Sarah Mobley, joins us on the podcast with the results of a brain assessment test she had us take recently! The results are fascinating, both in the test's findings and Sarah's take on how to improve our lowest ADHD-affected scores! Suggestions include starting a dance troupe, driving without GPS, and, thankfully! playing more RPGs. Thank you, Mrs. Mobley, for joining us and being our 2nd guest ever!!If

What a delightful surprise this podcast has been for us! Something we just threw together because we thought the name was funny, but in eighteen episodes we have learned so much about ADHD, D&D, and ourselves! And we want to dream up what other kinds of trouble we can get into. We're taking a very short break and will be back in the new year with Season Two, so please stay tuned. Topics include favorite moments of this year, and Alison's dive into Worldbuilding! While we're on "hiatus",

It can be tough to feel like you're always moving forward with what you most want to do, when you have ADHD. There are tons of combat encounters in life that seem to have the difficulty set too high. We don't have any answers, of course, but this week we talk about a couple of everyday "buffs" we are trying that make those encounters a little easier for us.Extra special thanks to Spiritual Healing Sam and Spiritually Speaking with Taryn for their manifestation mastery offerings, guidance

2022/10/15

In this episode, AK and Matt may have finally found the perfect intersection of ADHD and D&D: we dream up 5e Spells based on ADHD traits (or "tenets", if you're a "Rhodes Scholar"). And it's so much fun. We imagine how ADHD-themed spells "Executive Dysfunction", "Interrupt", and "Time Blindness" would work, and cannot wait until we get to cast "Object Permanence" in our next game.

We're putting a little more "d20" in this week's ADHd20, where we talk about how we would build the perfect adventuring party, both in D&D and in real life. We break down the basic tabletop RPG archetypes: magic person, fighter, thief and healer, and have fun building our perfect class combos. AK tries to argue for why Paladins are actually the most overpowered class in the game, not Druids or Bards, as Matt thinks. This one is mostly for the gamers, but for those of you that don't play
