Nicola had never engaged in a role-playing game before. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to. More that she was too shy to ask, and no one had ever invited her. All that changed during the pandemic. Two years in, she Googled “Dungeons & Dragons.” Her new online group welcomed her with open arms, teaching her the game. She was braver online. Her characters spoke for her. They said and did things she would never even dream of. A whole new world opened up to her.
I love the idea of never being too old to try something new! This is a wonderful reminder that is usually only our fears that keep us from stepping outside the box. Nice story!
I loved this story, Dascha. It’s never too late to be whoever you want to be!
I had only played D&D a couple of times prior to this year, but I’ve always enjoyed fantasy literature and playing RPGs on gaming consoles. I took on the role of D&D club advisor at my school, and the kids have been having a blast with it. We have around 3-4 campaigns going at the moment!
Wow! You’re so brave! I would never consider an RPG, although I do remember others playing D&D in-person, when I was a teen. However, the thought of doing something like that at 61 is kind of intriguing 😉

Great story overlapping your life with D & D. Strategizing and creativity are great qualities for all ages, keeping our brains and hearts engaged.
I love this! RPGs can be fun for anyone at any age
Well done Nichola/Dascha. 🙂
What a great story and adventure 🤸♂️
