ADHd20 s02e15: Resisting A Rest
Things we learned while recording this episode: The characteristics we embody while awake are also present in our sleep. Inattentive awake? Inattentive asleep. Hello, insomnia!
We also took some time to call out the ridiculousness of long (and short!) rest mechanics in D&D. Don't worry, you guys—we fixed them.

ADHd20 s02e14: Actual Play with Dungeon Master Seth McKay
The most often-asked questions we've gotten since starting this podcast: "But what is D&D?! 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. This very special episode also features Evan Bivins and Official Lorekeeper Anna Fitzgerald.
If playing with us sounds more fun than simply watching us play, our Patreon includes monthly one-shots!

ADHd20 s02e12: Mask Me Anything
Matt and Alison, fresh out of a session of their favorite new TTRPG, Masks: A New Generation, find all the delicious correlations between having ADHD and being a teenage superhero! And the connection might not be what you think!
Plus! Coming to terms with the masks we've longed donned so neurotypicals can't figure us out, and a little chatter about what's changing for up-and-coming generations. Spoiler alert: The kids are alright.

ADHd20 s02e11: Murder, He Rolled
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 find out!

ADHd20 s02e10: Free to Be You and Me
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 in as we get really real about what opens us up, and what causes more (mental) gridlock than an interstate heading out of town on a holiday weekend.

ADHd20 s02e09: Trick Plays and Cabarets
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.

Our Homebrew Hero and Fave Game Designer, YouTube's The Dungeon Coach, joins Matt, Alison, and Fitz! to talk how to be creative and productive in a wild magic world.
We are so lucky to have met Alan at GaryCon this year, playtested his incredible upcoming TTRPG, DC20, and have a brand new friend to be inspired by. Please head straight to https://thedungeoncoach.com to learn more about DC20, his Patreon, excellent fixes for 5e, and watch this charismatic coach at https://youtube.com/thedungeoncoach . If you're not into games, you'll still love Alan's productivity method to juggle tons of completely different priorities all at the same time.

ADHd20 s02e07: Olive How You've Leveled Up
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 sense!

ADHd20 s02e06: A Whey We Go to GaryCon, with Lorekeeper Anna Fitzgerald
In this very feral episode of ADHd20, we spin tales of our experiences at GaryCon 2023, our first official TTRPG convention together!
Alison, Matt, and Official Lorekeeper Fitz [twinkling bell chime] have just returned from a journey to Lake Geneva, WI, where they had a truly magical time at the conference that honors one of the Daddies of D&D, Gary Gygax. Starting the adventure in a castle full of cheese, our brave party delved deep into the dungeons of the Grand Geneva Resort & Spa, home to GaryCon XV and crawling with creatures that were allowed to be full-time Game Masters, Players, and unapologetic Nerds for most of a week.
For the first time in the 'cast's history, this post-mortem was recorded in-person, into one mic, in Matt's Chicago Studio. We present this recap to you—mostly unedited and decidedly feral—but we think that you'll like!

ADHd20 s02e05: Paying the (ADHD) Tax, Man
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 . It's worth it, for sure, but you know, we want to be responsible citizens.

"Exclusion doesn't make it better," says our new friend and RPG inclusion hero Dale Critchley of Wyrmworks Publishing. In this episode, we learn what Dale and his cohort of artists are doing to shift the representation landscape in the TTRPG community.
Including, and definitely not limited to, having a Unicorn as a freakin' Service Animal. Hell, yes!

ADHd20 s1e17: There's Nothing Wrong With Woo Woo
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.

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 "The World's Greatest Role-Playing Game", Alison has some fun for you, too: a list of 12 real life archetypes for you to choose from, including "The Party Animal", "The Caretaker", and "The Hot Mess Express"!

Matt loves all new things, often to a fault; Alison needs some coercing to find the things that she loves sometimes. But both of them want everyone, ADHD or no, to do their best to not fall behind on life's new things: closed minds can cause heartbreak! Matt then admits that he needs a little help from his friends sometimes to get stuff done—call it pairing, body-doubling, or anchoring, it's amazing for people with executive disfunction. But we leave the triads for playing music.

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 for us. We're not sponsored by them, but the link you just clicked is an affiliate one.
