    The Wood Wide Web

    We’re back, baby! ADHd20 has returned for season five, and we’re kicking things off on our new tabletopsyturvy channel by asking one very inconvenient question: What if ease isn’t laziness? Inspired by nature, mycelium networks, our cave-dwelling ancestors, AI assistants, and the deeply radical idea that maybe we don’t have to make everything harder for ourselves, we’re talking about ADHD, TTRPGs, and the path of least resistance. 🔔 Subscribe for ADHD-friendly TTRPG conversations, neurodivergent-first GM tools, Daggerheart tips, and unserious-but-sincere tabletop nonsense. 🙃 Want to build, chat, and play alongside us?

    ADHd2 s04e08: tabletopsyturvy

    An admittedly too-short Season 4 wraps with a little reflection, a little mischief, and a big look at what’s coming next. We look back on 2025’s theme of Mastery, the unexpected places it led (including GMing at Gen Con), and the ideas that have been lighting our brains on fire lately. Also revealed? The theme guiding 2026 — and where this strange, wonderful adventure might take us next. Thanks for spending another season of ADHd20 with us. 💬 Join our party at The Pocket Dimension Discord: http://discord.gg/B2NFAhYDbA 🌀 Help us keep making this podcast and play games with us via our all-new Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/tabletopsyturvy 🎹 Theme music by Michael Bellar: https://www.michaelbellar.com/ ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

  3. Roll Model Kelly McLaughlin of the Dungeon Dudes

    Roll Model Kelly McLaughlin of the Dungeon Dudes

    We got Kelly McLaughlin (one half of the legendary Dungeon Dudes) to sit down and talk ADHD, masking, and why neurodivergent brains and TTRPGs might just be a perfect match. Spoiler for those that know us: Kelly agrees that it's not just about the dice—it's about taking off the real-world mask while putting on a character's, having actual agency in a world you can change, and exploring parts of yourself you didn't know needed exploring. Kelly opens up about his adult ADHD diagnosis, growing up hiding his love of Powerpuff Girls and the color purple in a small town that wasn't kind to nerds, and what tools give him the executive function to build systems that work. We dig into why D&D lets you "grab a sword and change the world" when real life feels overwhelming and uncontrollable, why every character we create is secretly about us (even when we don't realize it), and how the Dungeons of Drakkenheim team designs adventures with ADHD brains in mind. Also: K-pop Demon Hunters cosplay goals, Tales from Wood Creek (the escape room/reality TV/D&D fever dream with Deborah Ann Woll), cottagecore as resistance, and why Expedition 33 will make you cry. A lot.

  4. Push it Real Good

    Push it Real Good

    Reminder: progress doesn’t have to look like exhaustion. After Gen Con, AK and Matt reflect on what “push mode” looks like in ADHD brains—from hyperfocus to emotional overwhelm. Pushing ourselves too hard, pushing through burnout, pushing people away—or feeling pushed around. A conversation about momentum, friction, friendship, and learning when stopping might be the smarter move. 💬 Join our safe party at The Pocket Dimension Discord: https://bit.ly/thepocketdimensiondiscord 🌀 Help us keep making this podcast with your support: https://www.patreon.com/enterthepocketdimension  🎹 Theme music by Michael Bellar: https://www.michaelbellar.com/ ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

  5. Extra Focus with ADHD Jesse

    12.06.2025

    Extra Focus with ADHD Jesse

    We’ve been quoting his book Extra Focus for years—so getting to sit down with author Jesse J. Anderson (aka ADHD Jesse) feels like a major level-up for ADHd20. We dig into adult diagnosis, ADHD myths that refuse to die, and why “just try harder” is absolutely not a viable strategy for the neurodivergent. Jesse walks us through his 4 Cs of motivation, and we all compare notes on system-hopping, shame spirals, and trying to invoice your way through executive dysfunction. Also: fidget envy, secret middle initials, and TTRPG metaphors galore. We laughed a lot. You will too.  Check out adhdjesse.com and don't forget to pick up a copy of Extra Focus at extrafocusbook.com or wherever you buy books.  Special shout out from all of us to Dani Donovan, www.youtube.com/@Dani_Donovan and The Anti-Planner, adhddd.com/anti-planner 💬 Let's chat about our interest-based nervous systems in Discord: bit.ly/thepocketdimensiondiscord ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    ADHD in Ultra HD

    Let’s talk about overstimulation. From cons to code, gameplay to group hugs, we’re digging into what it means to hit your sensory limit in a world that keeps turning up the volume. Inspired by a stunning moment on Worlds Beyond Number and a viral Survivor clip, this episode explores how TTRPGs offer structure, emotional safety, and surprisingly powerful tools for regulation—both in game and in life. Also: shoutouts to the Queen of Wands, the Mars Cheese Castle, and the real MVPs—our fellow overstimulated weirdos doing their best to feel it all and still show up.   💬 Join our safe party at The Pocket Dimension Discord: https://bit.ly/thepocketdimensiondiscord 🌀 Help us keep making this podcast with your support: https://www.patreon.com/enterthepocketdimension ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    Context Switchcraft

    In this magically chaotic episode, Matt and AK pull a tarot card, misidentify it, and somehow still use it to unlock a whole conversation about context switching. From the dark arts of time-blocking to the ADHD curse of attention residue, they explore why switching gears is so hard for neurodivergent brains—and what TTRPGs can teach us about emotional regulation, better structure, and giving ourselves a damn break. Plus: Fiestaware, puppets, and why lunch might save your life. 💬 Come hang out with other awesome nerds in our Discord:  https://bit.ly/thepocketdimensiondiscord  🌀 Support the podcast and keep the shenanigans rolling:  https://www.patreon.com/enterthepocketdimension ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
