Help Action Hero

This week we unpack the “help action”—both as a human skill and in tabletop RPGs—and use a recent road-trip disaster of AK's as a real-life example of how to win your encounters with this oft-ignored mechanic. With ADHD, asking for help can feel impossible despite being eager to help others, mostly due to the usual culprits: rejection sensitivity dysphoria, executive dysfunction, time blindness, and task paralysis. But as always, TTRPGs come to the rescue in showing us that every game has some variation on the help action: D&D has a costly one, but games like DC20 and Daggerheart usher in a new era that puts a focus on helping your fellow players. Help us to help you learn more about the help action!   🙃 Use your Help Action on us: https://www.patreon.com/tabletopsyturvy 💬 Help Action Heroes!
