ADHd20

What happens when your ADHD diagnosis starts with a podcast and not a therapist? In this very special episode, Matt and AK sit down with Seth McKay, BFF of The Pocket Dimension, professional game master, and freshly diagnosed member of the ADHD community. It’s a wild ride full of nerdy tangents and a deep dive into how ADHD shapes creative life both at and away from the gaming table.

If you’ve ever felt like your brain was rolling with disadvantage, this episode is for you!

"Hello, my name is Matt, and I am a Futz-aholic." 

It's a danger for many, but especially for those with ADHD: the practice of "working" on building systems to increase productivity or improve online gaming experiences. With the new age of powerful app-building software like Notion, Obsidian, and Foundry VTT, there are more rabbit holes than ever to fall into.

AK, the "unqualified Therapist," tries to help Matt find ways to tinker less and do more.

From deep within the comments section of a Ginny Di reaction video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7MEYTMSEW8&t=411s) a highly likely friendship was forged. Games sees game and the ADHDM + ADHd20 Team Tesseract emerged. Somehow refusing to procrastinate, we quickly booked some time to hop on the mics and get to know our new buddy. Now you're invited to get to know Skyler and the many exports of his Kingdom of ADHD, too! It's all here: anime stuff, woo-woo things, enlisting in the Navy, and more!

Your favorite ADHD/TTRPG nerds can find correlations between any number of subjects, and this time the topics include Baldur's Gate 3, the Stunned Condition of 5e, and colonoscopies!

If you're neurodicey, do you also find that you're easily incapacitated? And how do you shake it off? In this episode, we don't promise a lot of answers, but we sure do have a lot of questions! 

In the first official episode of ADHd20 of 2024, your intrepid hosts Alison and Matt share their struggles with feeling overwhelmed and not yet acclimated to the new year, even after starting the winter with all the energy of Duracell Bunnies.

What do you do when you know what to do but just can’t do it? Matt gives a taste of the RPG Methodology he has been moving into Notion, the hippest project management PKM in the world! And we are now taking applications to be a part of an official ‘NeuroSpice Exchange Program’, where we can kick ass on all the things we’re good at…for someone else.

It’s the final episode of ADHd20 Season 2, folks! Join Alison and Matt as they wrap up this season with a "clip episode" packed with retrospection and much giggling, natch. We streamed this one live to our Patrons, who came prepared with some great questions, letting us ramble on everything from how ADHD affects the holidays to the impact of being neurodivergent on character creation. We also share our dreams and themes for ADHd20 in '24, so grab your CozyPants®, your favorite noise-cancelling headphones, and help us celebrate a nearly impossible feat for two peeps with ADHD: TWO FULL YEARS OF PODCASTING!

So treat yourself to hanging with these fine crews in 2024! See y'all in January!

So that we don't over-explain a video about over-explaining, here's a gen-text summary, soon to be part of Matt's patented "Un-ADHD-ify" app! 

"In this ADHD20 episode, Alison and Matt discuss the propensity to overexplain things common amongst many individuals, including themselves. They delve into their shared observations about social media interactions and the role of over-explaining within it. They also discuss how over-explaining affects their daily lives, personal relationships, and even their Dungeons & Dragons characters. The conversation navigates through themes like neurodivergence, masking, and impulse control, linking these aspects of their daily realities to their gaming personas and their broader social interactions."

Thank you, 
Matt, Alison &"Gipt"

"It's not that bad!". "You're overreacting." "Calm the f&%k down!"

With ADHD, you've probably heard people say this to you your entire life. When your every reaction is dripping with emotion, others don't understand  that in your brain, stubbing your toe and losing your pet cat can produce the same amount of wailing and gnashing of teeth.

In this video, we explore how catastrophizing and ADHD intersect, and how they can impact our experiences in tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs).

We know that everyone, ADHD or no, procrastinates on the things that you don't want to do. But those with "squirrel brains" can even procrastinate on things that we REALLY LOVE, like prepping for D&D. Why? We have some terribly-cited answers for you! And even some ways to Get Medieval on Procrastination's Ass when you need to!

We didn't use the advice given to us by our lovely Discord Server this week, but we usually do, and you can be a part of that advice: http://bit.ly/TPDdiscord
