D&D now barely qualifies as math. There isn’t even any division. That said, really good at getting people to understand statistics.

See the trick to this is to get people to play games where it’s so hard to calculate the odds of success that they stop looking at the numbers and start vibing. Basically anything with dice pools works.

The math in D&D is much simpler than comparing item pricing in the supermarket.

D&D only requires addition, sometimes substraction (if you have low stats), and multiplication or division by 2 or 4.

3e/3.5e was a great basic algebra course, but 5e is what you get after you hit yourself in the head with a hammer.

Tabletop Rpg posts, content, and recruitment posts.

Recruitment posts should contain what system is being played, CW for any adult/serious themes players need to be aware of and whether a game is beginner friendly.

An obvious reminder of no racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia and transphobia.

Emphasis on small independent rpgs like the ones in the TTRPGs for Trans Rights in Texas but not against dnd stuff.
