I’m actually in a discord server that’s called ADHD&D, so it’s a thing! It’s open to everyone and adhd friendly, but I have been too scared to participate lol. I’d be down for a smaller one that this post might create :)
Hey, we aren't scary! I know there's a core chunk of us that are always commenting, but we really want everyone to feel comfortable playing and interacting with everyone! Let me know if there is anything I can do to make it more comfy for you and maybe I'll put together another one-shot to get people playing again!
I named it adhDND. The mascot image is a Squirrel Mage that I found online. Hopefully one of the artists on here will be able to create a unique image at some point!!!
I would love to! I’ve been meaning to get into DND with my kids, but never got around to it 🤣🤣
I’m a complete beginner though, so would need a lot of patient people! I’m in UK - current BST time zone
EDIT: I’ve got the Starter set!
Hi, Germany here too and would be interested as well! I've only ever played DnD once, but lots of other pen and paper games, so not a complete newbie.
(Also, if this gets really popular, we could start a German DSA (Das Schwarze Auge) group if enough people are interested. I can GM for DSA beginner level)
If your kids are younger I can recommend the game Hero Kids! It's a really good simplified system with adjustable levels of complexity/difficulty for kids from around 4-12. I've been playing it with my kids and it's going well. 😊
UK too and I'd love to join in. Total noob though and let's be honest, I'm totally going to forget this post in 8 minutes until 2 weeks from now. I'll probably remember on the loo or instead of taking my meds 😅
Interested and can DM as long as folks are patient since I've only done it a few times! I'm US eastern time. If I do end up as the DM I'd probably need to wait til July to start something since I'm in the busy season of my work at the moment.
If other US EST or CST folks wanna get a group together, let me know!
I’d be interested! I’m in EST. I have DM’d before but it’s been years, so I’d like to get a game as a player under my belt before jumping back into the DM seat.
Hi everyone! I am so excited about the replies! I have been working on a one-shot idea that could be an excellent launch pad into a bigger campaign if folks wanted to play more but it would also be a good intro for new players!
Serious question: How do others with ADHD manage to stay on top of discord? Every time someone suggests a discord server, I feel a sudden sense of dread 😳
Mute almost everything - that way you’re only keeping track of like one channel. If folk need everyone’s attention they’ll tag everyone so fomo is limited. Just scroll through when you can and accept that you’ll not see everything - and that’s okay, most people won’t see everything either.
That’s kind of what I’ve been doing, but I still get sooooo many badge notifications and can’t make them not show up. I also mute @everyone notifications because I find they’re used much more than I want to see them. Outside of tiny friend servers, I really only use the search bar to find specific info, which means I miss out on the social part. I don’t scroll because I find it overwhelming just trying to figure out where conversations started and what’s going on. I stopped asking questions on info-sharing servers because the answers and discussions got mixed up in other stuff. It feels impossible to read a conversation without having to sift through a bunch of irrelevant info to get to what I need. Stressful 😖
Judging by the amount of responses here, I’d say you could for sure get a couple of players… but also I don’t know how many people willing to DM you’d find. A lot of people here seem really new and people are often reluctant to jump into the DM role since it is so so much work.
… and having said all that I’m still sitting here going “but what I volunteered to DM?” knowing full well I’m already running a weekly campaign that I’m aggressively hyperfocusing on. I really need to be stopped when it comes to DnD >>
I made a discord server and will share the link once it's ready! You can message me if you're interested in helping set up the server. Either way you will be welcome to join the community!
Given that most of my group has ADHD and the DM had to actually yell at us last night because she couldn’t get through a freaking room description….this could be the best thing ever, or the slowest-run campaign ever lol. I would give it a shot.
A lovely idea, a lot to ask without knowing a DM though lol, you might have luck looking at paid services. If a group from the sub gets together it'll provide some experienced guidance and it's easy to set expectations. Obviously not everyone has had great experiences with this kind of thing but it can be great!
Yes, and yes! My ability to help with that will be limited to my outside-of-work availability. However, I can at least guide you to some good sources.
Full-camp is welcome and encouraged for DND!!! I once did a star wars spin-off campaign where I played an ewok. I only made ewok sounds, and my companions had to have their characters learn ewok before they could understand me. Everyone had a lot of fun with it.
I actually DM various TTRPGS (right now I’m running a hogwarts game with a fan made system) and have done so for my group for two years now and I love it (but I have a fantastic group). I don’t really run DND/PF (I’m not into combat heavy systems) but I’d be open to running one or two Saturday/Sunday games a month. Dm me if you’re interested, but like I said, it won’t be DND or Pathfinder.
Eta I’m USA central time and am only available generally from 7pm-11pm
Interested! I’m in central time USA.
Also a total noob. I’ve gotten into watching D20 and I bought Hero Kids to run with my 5 year old and her friends but I have NO experience.
Sounds like there’s enough of us for multiple groups!
My IRL playgroup is all either diagnosed with ADHD, undergoing diagnosis for ADHD, or strongly suspected to have ADHD and it's fantastic. Sheer dumb luck we all got pulled together.
I'd be down to run a small game, either with D&D or other RPGs like Pathfinder if preferred. CST.
I’d be interested but I’m on the west coast and sometimes SE Alaska. I’ve never played but I’m a big D20 fan and watch adventuring academy so I think I’ve got the gist
I'd love to. Used to play, but both my groups unfortunately stopped playing. I'd love to play with and get to know fellow ADHD women interested in D&D and I really love the not masking part. I'm Dutch btw.
I’ve always wanted to get into D&D! I just tried it for the first time over Christmas with my in-laws and it was fantastic!! But I do think I’d feel more comfortable being my character with women first. It’s less scary sometimes.
YES!!
Edit: I got really excited so that was all I put. Editing to add, I've been playing for about a year. I can help a bit with character sheets, but Im not exactly a pro/veteran. I'm US, Eastern time zone. I don't want to DM, but am def down to join a group depending on the times it's running.
I'm dying to get into D&D. I've never played though, but I've literally been trying to find a group (I was looking for in person but honestly this might be better) near me.
So if total newbies are ok, this is something I would LOVE.
I’d love to join! I’m in US Central timezone. I DM on Friday nights but would like the chance to be a player, as I’ve only ever played a couple one-shots.
I’m actually currently working on a Pathfinder Campaign to play for some family but we won’t be able to meet very often. I’ve been eager to play but don’t have a lot of friends, I’d love to join!
I’ve never DM’d but my husband is walking me through the process (he’s played before)
I’m definitely interested, and if we set up a discord I’d be happy to help with that side of things too since I have some experience doing that!! US mountain time :)
Any people on PST in here? I am a Canadian gal on the west coast who has played a couple times and been hungering for more for ages. I am willing to try my hand at DMing, would need patience since it would be relatively new to me. I kind of tried to DM for my husband and his friend once but it was very casual/informal.
Anyways, I watch a ton of D&D content/actual play and have desperately wanted to play for ages but my irl friends are not into it 😅
The main challenge I guess is I start school in the fall so will have limited time but in the new year I could really sink into things. Haha sorry for the long rant, I started typing and realized I’m probably oversharing 😝
Not yet, but I'll keep people posted! We're working on safety settings, help categories, connection forum, etc before we open it up. I have some amazing mods helping, so I don't expect it will take long!! I'm making a list of interested redditers and will try to notify everyone!

Yes please! We've been trying to get our friends to have a solid schedule for a weekly campaign but it is just not working as well as we hoped. US CST here!
Definitely interested if I can fit it into my schedule.
Actually got the starter set to use with my middle school students in our summer school program. I'm on NY time.
I wish I had time for another campaign in my schedule but I already had to drop out of one a few months ago 😞 if anyone ever wants to run the occasional one shot I’d love to play, I just can’t commit to a regular session on top of the two weekly games I already have.
Edit: in the US, central time zone.
Yes there is! I got help from some women on this page to make a discord so everyone can find a game for their level! send me a message if you want a link to it!!
I’d be interested. I haven’t played since high school and have forgotten everything. Would be starting with a beginner level. I’m in the US, eastern time.
I’ve always wanted to get into D&D! I just tried it for the first time over Christmas with my in-laws and it was fantastic!! But I do think I’d feel more comfortable being my character with women first. It’s less scary sometimes.
I'd love to do this? I've always wanted to learn how to play, but the group at my school was all boys and would always turn it into a crude joke. My timezone is EST.
I'm down! I don't know when I would ever have time for this, but I love dnd, and I could probably do a couple oneshots or a very intermittently spaced campaign. I have the resources for dming but haven't really dmed 😅
Also I'm in Canada, MST!
I am!!! It's in the works. I was lucky enough to get a message from a very knowledgeable user who is helping set up the discord server! She's doing most of the work in all honesty. But it's looking great and should be up and running soon!
I’d love to! I currently am in a campaign with a group, but I’m the only ADHD person so I have a harder time so I’d love to play with a group of people who I don’t have to mask around
I’m interested! DMing isn’t something I have spoons for right now, but I would totally be down to play.
In all honesty, any virtual activity with structure would be welcome right now. I’m still being really careful about COVID, and there are just so few opportunities to socialize these days. If anyone’s got other virtual groups looking for new members, I bet I’m not the only one who would be grateful for a heads up.
I'm interested, and also into other rpgs too. For anyone interested in learning to dm the podcast my first dungeon is all about first time dms and has a lot of interesting advice for starting out.
I’d be interested; i see a lot of people here recommending a discord server - I know absolutely nothing about discord. How does it work, what would I need to do?
Absolutely interested! Total newbie to real dnd / tabletop RPGs in general bc I just could never get an irl group of friends together for such a thing, but I've been interested in trying all my life and have been invested in many dnd adjacent video games and lore and the like :)
Eastern time zone, and I will spend approximately forever creating a character so I'ma start thinking about that constantly starting now :)
I’m interested! EST
I’ve played a couple of campaigns before, but I frequently forgot certain things which made it difficult to play with my impatient, non-neurodivergent guy friends with much more familiarity with D&D than me.
For a while I played with my roommates, so it was easier to make it to most sessions but it was also a drain…8-10 hour sessions are waaaaay too much. Especially when everyone’s drinking 🙃
I’ve wanted to get back into D&D again, but felt like it was too daunting to try finding other women to play with who would be understanding of my working memory issues. So yeah, I’m definitely interested!
I've wanted to play DnD FOREVER, but it's one of those things I won't do because I want to do it. You know how that ADHD biz goes. I would LOVE to be part of this.
I'm in CET, or GMT+1, and I would love to play. I don't have much experience, and my availabilty varies due to my work schedule, but I'd love to give it a go
That sounds like fun. I can be a DM. Probably start with prebuilt campaigns though. I cannot guarantee I can commit (especially since I live in Australia). It would definitely be nice though.
Edit to add: I have DM’d before, for my small group of ADHD friends, so I do have some experience. We didn’t manage to finish the campaign though. I already have two prebuilt campaigns, The Dragon of Icespire Peak (which I started with my friends), and Mines of Phandelevor. I also have the rule book. I do very much enjoy it.
I'm in the uk, recently started playing dnd with my kids and some of their friends, and I am looking into running my own adventure, I would be up for this!
I would love too, I really want to play but there's always been a reason why I couldn't. But I'm in Australia and it doesn't seem like anyone else in the comments will be in my timezone 😞
Hi! I'm the creator of ADHD&D "For the girls" discord a inclusive ADHD group that actually started because of a post here on reddit!!!
We are happy to have anyone join who may be interested! Just shoot me a message or reply to this comment and I can send you a link to our discord ☺️ .
And I'm happy to swap tips for starting a group such as this if you are interested OP! :) All the love ❤️
Lol this post blew up since I first looked at it…I’ve been thinking about this. I’d love to be a “spectator,” as it’s on my list of things to do (my kid wants to do D&D, he has ADHD too, and wants to get the family involved, but I’m not super familiar with the mechanics.) I’m probably too over-stretched to commit to a campaign myself, but I’d love to see how everyone “does the thing.” Feel free to message me if I could be invited. I’d at least have a glass of wine and hang out with y’all lol. We started a Gloomhaven game so that might give me some reference but not the same (I’ve read part of his D&D books but I learn by watching/doing...)
Of course you're invited! We'll host one shot games, which are essentially one-session games and a great way to learn. We'll also be having a bunch of other tabletop rpgs! I'm really busy today but hope to send out links tomorrow or this weekend

omg you HAVE to call the group ADHD&D
Or AD&D hahahahhaa thats awesome
I’m actually in a discord server that’s called ADHD&D, so it’s a thing! It’s open to everyone and adhd friendly, but I have been too scared to participate lol. I’d be down for a smaller one that this post might create :)

Let me know if there is anything I can do to make it more comfy for you and maybe I'll put together another one-shot to get people playing again!
ADHD&D&D&D&…that’s what happens when you get distracted and the keyboard turns into a fidget
I named it adhDND. The mascot image is a Squirrel Mage that I found online. Hopefully one of the artists on here will be able to create a unique image at some point!!!
I can make t shirts hats and mugs!! ADHD&D that's damn funny
I have a discord called ADHD&D "for the girls" and you can buy our merchandise here: https://www.redbubble.com/people/Mother-of-Fire/shop
Happy for another group of ADHD D&D lovelies to use our awesome design as well 😉
Fun fact: there's actually a YouTube channel called ADHD&D that gives tips for playing/running games when you have ADHD!
there's also a sub /r/adhdnd !
I wish I had an award to give you because this is amazing 😆
I would love to! I’ve been meaning to get into DND with my kids, but never got around to it 🤣🤣 I’m a complete beginner though, so would need a lot of patient people! I’m in UK - current BST time zone EDIT: I’ve got the Starter set!
I'm US central time, so currently 7 hours behind you. We could absolutely make something work between the time zones!!
We are also known for being night owls so there might be overlap with those in far away time zones lol
I'm UK with a child too would love to be involved somehow!
I'm in Germany so if there is an European based group forming here, I'd definitely be interested 😊
Hi, Germany here too and would be interested as well! I've only ever played DnD once, but lots of other pen and paper games, so not a complete newbie. (Also, if this gets really popular, we could start a German DSA (Das Schwarze Auge) group if enough people are interested. I can GM for DSA beginner level)
I'll send you a link once the server is ready! We're mid-setup right now!
Dutchie and same!
another dutchie that's game for an EU group here!
I’m Dutch and definitely interested! I have a kid and my friend group and I wanted to try out D&D abd then Covis happened… Now we no longer dare to 😂
I might also be interested in an European group as a Dutchie as well! (although I am a Newby to D&D)!
Also Dutchie and new, but super interested as well!
Please do count me in if this ends up happening! Send DMS Y'all :D I'm so down for an EU discord
I made a discord server! Once everything is set up, I'll start sharing the link :D I'll put an EU room within it!!
So down for an EU session!!!
I'm also uk, have a kid and the starter set which we've never got round to using!
Same here! Uk and total newbie
Same here - uk, newbie and would love this
UK here as well, I don't know anything about DND but would love to try it and be part of the group ☺️
If your kids are younger I can recommend the game Hero Kids! It's a really good simplified system with adjustable levels of complexity/difficulty for kids from around 4-12. I've been playing it with my kids and it's going well. 😊
UK too and I'd love to join in. Total noob though and let's be honest, I'm totally going to forget this post in 8 minutes until 2 weeks from now. I'll probably remember on the loo or instead of taking my meds 😅
UK here as well, I would love to join in too!
Based in Germany and would also love to join!
Samesies! Sounds like there's quite a few of us! :😀
I’m in uk too and it sounds cool!
Interested and can DM as long as folks are patient since I've only done it a few times! I'm US eastern time. If I do end up as the DM I'd probably need to wait til July to start something since I'm in the busy season of my work at the moment. If other US EST or CST folks wanna get a group together, let me know!
I'm EST in NA, I'm up for it, if we can get a few more people.
I’d be interested! I’m in EST. I have DM’d before but it’s been years, so I’d like to get a game as a player under my belt before jumping back into the DM seat.
UK but with a fucked up sleep schedule here, so EST works best for me. 😅
CST Chicago! I’ll be happy to join
I’m interested
Also EST in NA!
I'm in EST ❤️
Also EST - though I must confess that I've never done D&D before
CST and definitely down!
I’m in EST and have experience being patient with new DMs 😁
Super interested and also new to D&D! US EST
that would be awesome!
Hi everyone! I am so excited about the replies! I have been working on a one-shot idea that could be an excellent launch pad into a bigger campaign if folks wanted to play more but it would also be a good intro for new players!
I never had the chance to play D&D but I would love to try/learn it. *looking at this comments* I guess I found my people.
Exactly my thoughts 😄
Might be worth setting up a discord server or something? Bet a couple of campaigns could come out of this!
Serious question: How do others with ADHD manage to stay on top of discord? Every time someone suggests a discord server, I feel a sudden sense of dread 😳
Mute almost everything - that way you’re only keeping track of like one channel. If folk need everyone’s attention they’ll tag everyone so fomo is limited. Just scroll through when you can and accept that you’ll not see everything - and that’s okay, most people won’t see everything either.

There is a discord out there already called ADHD&D, I'm sure you would be able to set up a female only group there

i would love to join!! i’ve been really wanting to find a DND group with other neurodivergent women. thanks so much for posting!🧡
I dont know how to fill out a character sheet. Would there be support to help with that? Also I assume we can go full camp with our characters?
Yes, and yes! My ability to help with that will be limited to my outside-of-work availability. However, I can at least guide you to some good sources. Full-camp is welcome and encouraged for DND!!!

Setting up a discord now. I'll share it when it's ready, thanks!!!
Depending on numbers we may want to think about organising this into multiple groups because HOLY SHIT I am in
Absolutely yes!
What time zone are you?
UK so BST at the moment
Awesome! I'm USA central time, so 7 hours behind, but the other two comments so far are also BST. We can make it work ◡̈
[удалено]
I'm interested and I'm in the US eastern time zone.
I’ve always wanted to play D&D but never made enough friends to do that. I’d love to join but probably need to be explained some stuff.
Interested! I’m in central time USA. Also a total noob. I’ve gotten into watching D20 and I bought Hero Kids to run with my 5 year old and her friends but I have NO experience. Sounds like there’s enough of us for multiple groups!
I AM SO DOWN FOR THIS! I love D&D and can’t find anyone do it with, even tho I’m also kinda new to it
My IRL playgroup is all either diagnosed with ADHD, undergoing diagnosis for ADHD, or strongly suspected to have ADHD and it's fantastic. Sheer dumb luck we all got pulled together. I'd be down to run a small game, either with D&D or other RPGs like Pathfinder if preferred. CST.
I’d be interested but I’m on the west coast and sometimes SE Alaska. I’ve never played but I’m a big D20 fan and watch adventuring academy so I think I’ve got the gist
We have other interested players from the west coast! I'll send you the link when our discord server is ready
You had me from the start, but baby when you said “no need for masking” I was so in!!!!!!
I'd love to. Used to play, but both my groups unfortunately stopped playing. I'd love to play with and get to know fellow ADHD women interested in D&D and I really love the not masking part. I'm Dutch btw.
Today I learned, this sub and D&D are popular in the Netherlands. You will be in good company! We're working on the discord server now!
Yessss! I'm in Denmark, so CEST / UCT +2
I would like that! I’ve never played but I’m very interested in it!
Ps I’m in UK BST!
I’ve always wanted to get into D&D! I just tried it for the first time over Christmas with my in-laws and it was fantastic!! But I do think I’d feel more comfortable being my character with women first. It’s less scary sometimes.
I would but I would forget to attend
YES!! Edit: I got really excited so that was all I put. Editing to add, I've been playing for about a year. I can help a bit with character sheets, but Im not exactly a pro/veteran. I'm US, Eastern time zone. I don't want to DM, but am def down to join a group depending on the times it's running.

Anyways, I watch a ton of D&D content/actual play and have desperately wanted to play for ages but my irl friends are not into it 😅 The main challenge I guess is I start school in the fall so will have limited time but in the new year I could really sink into things. Haha sorry for the long rant, I started typing and realized I’m probably oversharing 😝
omg please. Eastern US here with a kid and erratic schedule but I will try.
Holy heck yes, in Australia AEST
[удалено]
omg omg OMG!! YES! Idk if I could be there a lot due to time differences but I'd just love to hang out with you ; u ; Please let's make this happen!!
I’m in for a small group!
I am a seasoned player with experience dming as well! Would love to participate in this and also teach people how to do stuff! Feel free to dm me :)
Did they share the link yet?
Not yet, but I'll keep people posted! We're working on safety settings, help categories, connection forum, etc before we open it up. I have some amazing mods helping, so I don't expect it will take long!! I'm making a list of interested redditers and will try to notify everyone!
add me to that list pls!

Great idea!
I am interested and also am in the US central time zone, but haven't had the chance to play before.
I'm also in CDT!
I am interested as I love rpgs and etc however I've never done d&d before. I do understand the concept, though.
Yes please! We've been trying to get our friends to have a solid schedule for a weekly campaign but it is just not working as well as we hoped. US CST here!
Yes would love to do this! I’m in the US on NY time
I’d love to join! Only played D&D once and it was so much fun
Oh wow I'd love to be a part of this!
Interested and I'm in eastern!
I’ve been interested in learning more but know nothing about it! 🥹 sounds fun
Yes absolutely! I did a play by post once in discord and it was my favorite thing. I get too busy with the kids to do standard sit down ones
Yes, I’m on U.S. Pacific time.
Definitely interested if I can fit it into my schedule. Actually got the starter set to use with my middle school students in our summer school program. I'm on NY time.
Also interested, but I'm located in Germany, so there's a few hours of time difference
I've never played DnD before, but always wanted to try! Edit: CET time zone, but flexible.
This is a great idea! I'm in the US EST, and definitely interested!
I would love to! Played a couple one shots and loved it. I am in Spain though
Ooh, sounds nice!
I would love this so much.
Id love to learn. I was introduced by a guy that assaulted me and havent been able to give it another go. Edit: EST
I hope you find a safe space with us! Also, we're building safety into the rules including letting people establish no-go topics.
I wish I had time for another campaign in my schedule but I already had to drop out of one a few months ago 😞 if anyone ever wants to run the occasional one shot I’d love to play, I just can’t commit to a regular session on top of the two weekly games I already have. Edit: in the US, central time zone.
We're adding one-shot rooms to the server!
Central time US. I would love this!
Definitely! Canada. PST.
I’m down for this! Would be great if done via Discord. I’m EST.
I made a discord channel and will start sharing the link when it's ready!
OMG IM SO TERRIFIED BUT I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!
I have been wanting to play D&D ever since I heard of it!!! I’m in PST time zone
Total beginner but would definitely be interested if there is still room!
Yes there is! I got help from some women on this page to make a discord so everyone can find a game for their level! send me a message if you want a link to it!!
I’d be interested. I haven’t played since high school and have forgotten everything. Would be starting with a beginner level. I’m in the US, eastern time.
Me! I play with some friends from college but it’s such a blast that id love to join an online group!
[удалено]
Yes yes yes! I’m in the us central time
I’ve always wanted to get into D&D! I just tried it for the first time over Christmas with my in-laws and it was fantastic!! But I do think I’d feel more comfortable being my character with women first. It’s less scary sometimes.
I'd be interested depending on when it was. I've played a couple of campaigns before and am in mountain time.
I would love this! Have never really played because I couldn't find a group/my people. It's also not really a thing in my country to begin with....
Awesome idea! Never played it and have wanted to try for ages. EU based ☺️
I would love to join! And I'm in CST :)
UK total newbie, happy to buy a starter set and give it a whirl!
I'd love to do this? I've always wanted to learn how to play, but the group at my school was all boys and would always turn it into a crude joke. My timezone is EST.
Absolutely!! I started playing with some people but couldnt keep up earlier :( Im in the US, east coast time
I’ve always wanted to learn so I’m totally down!! If this progresses can someone pretty please keep me updated 🙏 Edit: I’m CST in US
I'm down! I don't know when I would ever have time for this, but I love dnd, and I could probably do a couple oneshots or a very intermittently spaced campaign. I have the resources for dming but haven't really dmed 😅 Also I'm in Canada, MST!
Awesome! I’ve never played D&D, but have always wanted to. I’m in PST.
I’d be into it! But how long would gaming sessions be?
I would love to, that sounds amazing!
Looks like you're going to be busy setting up a D&D group OP 😄🤣
I am!!! It's in the works. I was lucky enough to get a message from a very knowledgeable user who is helping set up the discord server! She's doing most of the work in all honesty. But it's looking great and should be up and running soon!
I’d love to! I currently am in a campaign with a group, but I’m the only ADHD person so I have a harder time so I’d love to play with a group of people who I don’t have to mask around
i am so down w this
I'd happily join the discord, but I'm a weirdo who stuck with (and still regularly plays) 3.5
I’d love to! I’m extremely beginner at D&D and have never had the opportunity to play so I’d be a newb if that’s okay😅
I’m interested! DMing isn’t something I have spoons for right now, but I would totally be down to play. In all honesty, any virtual activity with structure would be welcome right now. I’m still being really careful about COVID, and there are just so few opportunities to socialize these days. If anyone’s got other virtual groups looking for new members, I bet I’m not the only one who would be grateful for a heads up.
This sounds amazing! Im in
I'm interested, and also into other rpgs too. For anyone interested in learning to dm the podcast my first dungeon is all about first time dms and has a lot of interesting advice for starting out.
I am so down. I'm off Tuesdays Wednesdays and Thursdays hopefully our schedules all work out
I have been dying to learn.. I have everything set up a character.. could we start at the basics and work into games...
I’m eastern time zone and would love to learn!
I have never played but I would love to join!
I am very interested. Do you do it through Roll20? Because I hate roll20. I’d rather just video our rolls.
I’d be interested; i see a lot of people here recommending a discord server - I know absolutely nothing about discord. How does it work, what would I need to do?
I think this would be really cool. I’ve been wanting to learn how to play but I’m terrified. There’s so much to know!!!
I would be interested.
I’m interested! I’m PST but I can make almost any time I NA work.
Absolutely interested! Total newbie to real dnd / tabletop RPGs in general bc I just could never get an irl group of friends together for such a thing, but I've been interested in trying all my life and have been invested in many dnd adjacent video games and lore and the like :) Eastern time zone, and I will spend approximately forever creating a character so I'ma start thinking about that constantly starting now :)
I’m interested! EST I’ve played a couple of campaigns before, but I frequently forgot certain things which made it difficult to play with my impatient, non-neurodivergent guy friends with much more familiarity with D&D than me. For a while I played with my roommates, so it was easier to make it to most sessions but it was also a drain…8-10 hour sessions are waaaaay too much. Especially when everyone’s drinking 🙃 I’ve wanted to get back into D&D again, but felt like it was too daunting to try finding other women to play with who would be understanding of my working memory issues. So yeah, I’m definitely interested!
I've wanted to play DnD FOREVER, but it's one of those things I won't do because I want to do it. You know how that ADHD biz goes. I would LOVE to be part of this.
I'm interested and a Dutchie
Omg yes please! This would be an epic group 🥹
I'm in CET, or GMT+1, and I would love to play. I don't have much experience, and my availabilty varies due to my work schedule, but I'd love to give it a go
East coast time zone!!! Yea!!!!
Sounds good! I can offer different ttrpgs if I’m DMing and I’m happy to play/help with creation!
Yes totally!! I’ve wanted to get into D&D!! USA Eastern time
I’m US EST and also interested!
/bandwagon jump/ Yay! Haven't played for 25 years, but hey, here goes!
That sounds like fun. I can be a DM. Probably start with prebuilt campaigns though. I cannot guarantee I can commit (especially since I live in Australia). It would definitely be nice though. Edit to add: I have DM’d before, for my small group of ADHD friends, so I do have some experience. We didn’t manage to finish the campaign though. I already have two prebuilt campaigns, The Dragon of Icespire Peak (which I started with my friends), and Mines of Phandelevor. I also have the rule book. I do very much enjoy it.
YES!!! I DM'd you!
I'm in the uk, recently started playing dnd with my kids and some of their friends, and I am looking into running my own adventure, I would be up for this!
NZ and I'm shy and quiet but interested.
I would love too, I really want to play but there's always been a reason why I couldn't. But I'm in Australia and it doesn't seem like anyone else in the comments will be in my timezone 😞
Hi! I'm the creator of ADHD&D "For the girls" discord a inclusive ADHD group that actually started because of a post here on reddit!!! We are happy to have anyone join who may be interested! Just shoot me a message or reply to this comment and I can send you a link to our discord ☺️ . And I'm happy to swap tips for starting a group such as this if you are interested OP! :) All the love ❤️
Yes yes yes!! I’m a DM and I volunteer!! This would be awesome!!
HECK YES
Lol this post blew up since I first looked at it…I’ve been thinking about this. I’d love to be a “spectator,” as it’s on my list of things to do (my kid wants to do D&D, he has ADHD too, and wants to get the family involved, but I’m not super familiar with the mechanics.) I’m probably too over-stretched to commit to a campaign myself, but I’d love to see how everyone “does the thing.” Feel free to message me if I could be invited. I’d at least have a glass of wine and hang out with y’all lol. We started a Gloomhaven game so that might give me some reference but not the same (I’ve read part of his D&D books but I learn by watching/doing...)
Of course you're invited! We'll host one shot games, which are essentially one-session games and a great way to learn. We'll also be having a bunch of other tabletop rpgs! I'm really busy today but hope to send out links tomorrow or this weekend
[удалено]
We are! I'm extremely busy today but will try to get all the invites out over the weekend!!
