As a 30 year Dungeons & Dragons Player (Played in my late teens, late twenties, and now) I’ve been delving into the limitless imaginative world of D & D for quite some time
It’s always been my ‘pure’ place of creative expression
Primarily as a Dungeon Master, lately as both Player & DM
Let’s face it, the last several years on our planet have truly been challenging
From climate change, to rising tensions between countries, to public demonstrators/outcries, literally everywhere
For me D & D has never been an ‘escape’ like for many
For me it has been an unbridled landscape of imaginative exploration…
Storytelling…
…and theatrical portrayals
But reality keeps banging on the door, doesn’t it
Now more than ever we need our storytellers, and our stories
To come together in a world, inward, if not yet outward

Fortunately Dungeons & Dragons has truly blown up

Between enormous amounts of written content created by ‘Wizards of the Coast’ itself…
…to Independent companies like ‘Kobold Press’

And thousands upon thousands of community members, throwing their creations up on DMsGuild…

…and DriveThruRPG

And thriving live streams like…

…Critical Role’, bringing the friendships, hilarity and immersive qualities of our game into the homes of so many who never really got what the big deal was about Dungeons & Dragons
To Podcasts & more
Our community is thriving
It’s coming together…
Perhaps helping to create a social template, one would hope our world might follow, or learn from someday
All I can say is, keep doing what you’re doing with hopes of a rippling effect that might echo across our real world
