Join us for our fifth episode with the Dungeons and Dragons Dudes!
Mental Health and Creativity Collide is about celebrating inspiring stories through the lens of mental health and creativity. This week's episode features Benjamin, Christian, Andrew, Jason, and Sam. Friends who have been meeting weekly to play D&D online each week during the pandemic and how this has supported their friendship, mental health, and creativity.
We talk about the stigma on D&D, masculinity, creativity, characterization, and they even do a demonstration of how a live role playing game works!
What is Dungeons and Dragons you ask?
"The core of D&D is storytelling. You and your friends tell a story together, guiding your heroes through quests for treasure, battles with deadly foes, daring rescues, courtly intrigue, and much more. You can also explore the world of Dungeons & Dragons through any of the novels written by its fantasy authors, as well as engaging board games and immersive video games. All of these stories are part of D&D."- www.wizards.com
