Thrive Pathways
Community Program · Melbourne

Dungeons & Dragons
with Thrive Pathways.

A proper D&D group run by Claire. Roll characters, go on adventures, and spend a couple of hours with people who get it. NDIS funded, Discord-based, and genuinely fun.

Good people, good stories,
a great DM.

It's a D&D group. Claire runs it, she's great at it, and the people in it are good fun. You'll create a character, go on adventures together, and finish sessions actually looking forward to the next one.

Sessions run on our Discord server, so you join from home. Never played before? That's fine. Claire will walk you through it, and the group is used to new players. Played for years? Also fine.

The communication, problem-solving, and teamwork that happen naturally in D&D are genuinely useful outside of it too. But mostly it's just a good time.

🎲
All experience levels welcome
Never rolled a die? No worries. Been playing for years? Also perfect. Claire works with who's there.
🛡️
A group that actually looks after each other
Everyone knows the vibe. It's a respectful, welcoming table and Claire keeps it that way.
🎭
Skills that carry over
Communication, quick thinking, teamwork, creativity. They come up naturally and they stick.

People in our groups have made actual friends. Not surprising, given you're spending hours saving the world together.
