D&D self care anyone?

[plurkid]

Do any of your play dungeons and dragons? It's a pretty great self care activity for all you turtles our there, you can play online from home and escape this reality to be whatever fun character you want.
I figured I'd suggest it as it's done a good job of helping me manage depression, it's nott gonna cure anything but we all need an escape.
it's one of the few social activities where there's little risk, you don't have to worry about being a failure because failing is part of the fun too lmao and i've met some cool people who share my social insecurities, so there a good chance you'll fit right In!

Also, there's a movie that just came out about d&d which I hear is pretty good.

I've played D&D for a few years now And love it.
When me and my entire group were homeless we sofa surfed in the same flats and we played almost daily for a year as we had nothing else to do and it was a cheaper escape then drink haha
We play weekly now if we can help it though we all have our own places and got better situations now. We just had a massive failure today which ended up with a party member kidnapped and the rest in jail for it and it's so hype!
I still think about all my old and fave campaigns all the time to help me sleep/ helps with my ptsd flashbacks weirdly

I live kinda far away from urban areas, so I couldn't really find or form an irl group (social isolation) , but always wanted to do that since high school

It's so fun! Its difficult finding in-person games depending on where you live, I've become friends (well, kinda) with people in Australia and Peru and Egypt and England and it's fun getting that unique experience with different cultures. I'm playing a elf warlock currently and I'm learning to speak with a Russian accent for him which has been really fun!

I have no one to play with how do I play online

I have no one to play with how do I play online

I started with these websites, most games you'll have to pay to play which might be a bummer but I never pay more than 15$ a session, if you can afford that then it's worth it since you can always back out. I eventually found private group that get together for free but that might take some times. If you're looking for a one-time game then those are called one shots, while the bigger ones are campaigns. There's a variety of things from traditional d&d to star wars, cyberpunk, fallout, the list is practically endless. A good dm will help you learn the basics and most are excited to introduce people so don't worry about noobness.

Seems cool how do you talk discord?

The new movie was AWESOME & had a cameo of the old cartoon group!

Download the discord app on your computer or phone, preferably your computer. you need a mic to speak through and you'll probably want headphones and a camera but they're not required. When you join a campaign there will be a link to a discord group which you can join voice chat (the meme channels are the best lmao) while playing. You'll probably play the game through roll20 or foundry, the DM will tell you which and how to use them.

I'm planning on watching next week, I can't believe how good the reviews have been. SUPER excited.

"Self-care"? I use it do dissociate harder... Which is also why I always play alone.

P.S. Nice profile image. Tobi should have won, even though I see why even Orochimaru was disinclined to follow his plan.

Weird, I dissociate passively but when I play d&d it's one of the few times I can actually enjoy reality enough to focus on it. Honestly I think I've become dependent on it which isn't the worst thing in the world but I might get burnt out on it soon.
P.S. Tobi lost but Obito won. I love Obito and all the forms he took
