I found dungeons and dragons very therapeutic for my speech. I found a D&D group on a D&D Facebook page a few years ago, and it has had a profound impact on my speech. When I'm playing, my quirks, disabilities, and speech do not matter. I'm amongst a group of people who just want to adventure. All that matters is whether or not the dice are going to behave. I've noticed my fluency has improved since playing. I'd like to attribute it to all of the talking that goes on during D&D, and the fact that it's helped build my confidence in speaking. I started as a shy player, I'm now a dungeon master to a few campaigns of my own. I find it easy now to talk infront of my friends for 4-5 hours while their characters ignore the plot and pick fights they can't win against the town guards. This group of people have become my best friends, and we have little in common outside of D&D. We're different ethnicities, different genders, different religions, and from different walks of life. At the typical D&D table, in my experience, everyone is welcome as long as you: 1. Bathe/shower that day (don't come stinky. I can't stress this enough.) 2. You leave your prejudice at the door. 3. Leave your politics at the door. 4. Bringing snacks is always encouraged. 5. Dont be a jerk. The goal is not to break the DM. I'm open to any questions. I want to get more stutters into the D&D world. We have a right to be here too.
