What we’re about
Founded almost 20 years ago, Potomac 'Middle Ages' D&D is made of several groups of more mature folks, mostly in their 30/40s/50s+, that meet regularly to play the Dungeons and Dragons Version 3.5 role-playing game. (This is an old version and is NOT the new Version 5.0 found in bookstores currently. The old V3.5 was very focused on character interdependence with other Party members -- in V3.5 each character was a specialist and a band of players spanning many skill sets were needed to work cooperatively to succeed!)
We're from the Metro Wash DC area (along the Potomac River and I-95), with most delves (sessions) having been held in Northern Virginia (Alexandria, Woodbridge, Stafford, Fredericksburg).
As of NOVEMBER 2025 we are looking to grow GROUP CHARLIE, which is primarily hosted about 10 mins off of I-95 at Fredericksburg (route 2 Tidewater Trail just south of Old Town Fredericksburg and the Airport).
Each of our Gaming Groups is different, tone set primarily by the location "Host" and the game's "DM" (dungeon master). We're about having fun and enjoying the game as well as light social chat and occasional adult banter. Over the years we have developed many good friends and most of us have demanding jobs and families and like a little time off to use another part of our brains (: .
Our style of play favors character role-playing, hacking and slashing, and character advancement through strategy/puzzle/diplomacy/combat/teamwork experience points (XP) and wealth.
We play only neutral or good characters (no evil) and encourage cooperative, team play. We use the core rulebooks (DMG, PHB, MMs) v3.5 primarily but several groups expand to the entire 3.5 universe.
