What’s an RPG? A role-playing game is a story based game where each player takes on the role of a character. Your character is an avatar of yourself in the game, and will have a set of skills, abilities, and special equipment to help you survive and explore in the game world. The mechanics differ among games, but in most RPGs your character will experience encounters – interactions with the environment, other characters and villians, puzzles to solve, and combat. The game will have a game master or dungeon master to describe the encounter, find out what your character will do (or attempt to do), and establish what you need to do to resolve the encounter (roll dice to see if you are successful at whatever it is you attempt to do). Your motives are yours to choose – will you seek fame and fortune, destroy hordes of monsters, upset the political regime, or seek treasure in long lost ruins?

Dungeons and Dragons for new players –

New RPG groups starting up!

We are often asked what RPG groups are accepting new players. Whether you’re a new or experienced player, spaces are open NOW in these new campaigns –

Stars Without Numbers (Feb. 4)–Stars Without Number is a role-playing game that aims to capture the aesthetic of old-school science fiction and the feel of old-school RPGs. The system is built around a sandbox style of game play that lets the players pursue their own interests in a universe that moves organically around them. The base rules are free to download here. Starting on February 4 at 6:00. Come to the first session to decide on the ongoing schedule. For more information check out https://www.meetup.com/Meeples-Games-Gaming-Group/events/228469292/
Multiple timeframe D&D (Feb. 8) – On the Sword Coast a group of individuals will come to the aid of a lost soul on their way to town not knowing that this simple act will lead them into a fight that will expand time. Technology and magic coexist in this unique campaign based on 5^th edition D&D where players actions will ripple across time as the choices one group of characters make in one time will impact another group of characters in another time, all run by the same players! Craziness is assured when this group starts up on February 8, Monday, and will meet every other week. Read all the details here: https://www.meetup.com/Meeples-Games-Gaming-Group/events/228236622/
