Think Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, Harry Potter. Dungeons and Dragons is a game of where friends as fictional characters embark on imaginary adventures within a fantasy setting. Each game is a quest. Each quest has a challenge. Ultimately, players must rely on one another to survive.
But what happens when one of those friends is faced with a real-life challenge? And how does a game based in fantasy offer answers to reality?

Jacob and I have selected The Lambert House.
From their website:
“Lambert House empowers lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youth through the development of leadership, social, and life skills” which are all things we love about DnD.
They are a Seattle Based foundation, which is also where Wizards of the Coast is based and there is history of them teaming up to use Dungeons and Dragons as a tool to support growth in the LGBTQ+ community.
It seems to tie in both the themes of this episode with PRIDE month and Jacob and I dig all of it.
