A support group for autistic people has revealed itself to be nothing more than a front for a sickening underground Dungeons and Dragons ring, it has been reported.
A local chapter of the ‘Little Buddies Network’, an initiative designed to bring autistic people together to talk about their experiences and make friends, was discovered to be a secret D&D campaign after neighbours complained of hearing people shouting “I attack with my greatsword for 20 damage!” and “Why can’t I seduce the dragon?” late into the night.
Group leader Robert Noot, 34, who calls himself the ‘Dungeon Master’, said: “The police broke down my door and seized all my miniatures! What am I supposed to do without my hand-painted wizards and burly orcish barbarians? Speak to other people? About what?”
Member Avery Mann, 27, believes the group has done nothing wrong. She said: “We spent about three weeks trying to sit around and do icebreaker games, but then we realised icebreaker games are fucking torturous. Someone brought out a set of polyhedral dice and suggested they might be the solution to all our problems. And they were!”
Local police chief Mary Walker, 49, said: “The community has been shocked to its core. I feel as if someone’s cast Ray of Sickness on me.”
