Ever wanted to give role playing games a try but you’re not sure where to start? Have you heard of Dungeons and Dragons before, but never been quite sure what to make of it? Or maybe you love tabletop RPGs but just don’t have the time to commit to regular meet-ups for a large-scale campaign. Maybe you’ve got the time and want, but just can’t seem to wrangle up a group to play with. Or perhaps you’re a forever GM (Game Master) and want to be a player for once.
If any of these sound like you, the TableTop Tuesday is the place to be. TableTop Tuesdays are opportunities for lighthearted, low-commitment role playing.
Each session is set up to be a one-off story that does not require ongoing attendance or knowledge of the game. The DM for the evening will introduce the world, let the players pick their character from a handful of presets (usually with room for adding some personal flavour), set the stage, and send the adventurers on their way. It is usually D&D but there is the possibility we’ll add other systems to the roster.
Right now we’re running an ongoing campaign with continuous characters that can grow and develop over time while still having room for people to drop in and out as demands on their time allow.
The current campaign setting is:
- The players are specialized artificial (and currently illegal) life forms known as Tick Tocks.
- The players are based in a deeply hostile area known as the Petrified Forest where they are safe from persecution and remain in contact with the Gnomish Engineering Guild.
- A vast and dangerous area around them needs to be explored.
- Elephants are somehow involved.
Despite the dangers and the direction/orders of the Engineering Guild the sessions are very much guided by the player’s choices and impactful decisions can have long lasting consequences on the game world and future sessions.
TableTop Tuesdays are normally the first Tuesday of each month (there may be some exceptions) from 6:30 PM until the adventure ends, generally between 9:30 PM. Doors open at 5:30 PM, and it costs $12.00 per person. We usually have an event page active for the next upcoming TTT soon after the most recent session, so be sure to keep an eye on our social for specific information regarding each monthly outing!
We’re also on Meetup so you can check out the details there as well.
We can’t wait for you to join our party!
