What we’re about
We're gamer-types interested in playing games, being social, making friends, and meeting new people. We love all types of games, especially role-playing, but also board, card, miniature, or whatever. We also love all gaming adjacent stuff too, such as anime, cosplay, game design, world building, video games, and more.

- Mission statement: Play everything at least once.
- Our unofficial motto: "Yeah, we'll play that!"
- We exist to help players find games and GMs find players.
- We welcome new players and new GMs to the greater Cincinnati area.
- We liaison with other organizations, podcasts, cons, game stores, and more.
- We encourage all everyone to game, especially underrepresented demographics such as women, LGBTQIA+ people, and BIPOC (biracial, indigenous, people of color).

- Beginners D&D 5e (2014) - The Slime Cave One-ShotMatts Card Shop, Blue Ash, OH
Want to learn to play D&D? Join us for a journey into the world's greatest role-playing game!
The remote farm village of Norwall is a pretty peaceful place overall. Each year it attracts a few tourists to the crumbled ruins of the Orthive's Tower and it's famous "Slime Cave". The river that emerges from the cave is thick with glowing green sludge that gives the cavern exit an eerie aura and colors the water interestingly for quite a ways. It's pretty, in a gross sort of way...
You're passing through Norwall and notice the freshly acid-scarred fields and streets of the village. Suddenly, you spy a pale yellowish-brown ooze overtake an unaware farmer at the edge of town and begin consuming him! It's time for action!
We'll provide dice, pencils, paper, and basically anything you'll need to play, so you can just show up, learn, and most importantly have fun!
Pregenerated characters provided, but if you'd like to bring your own, here are the details: 2014 PHB only, standard array or point buy, 3rd level, standard starting equipment + background equipment + 500 GP and 1 uncommon magic item.
Things To Bring if you have them:
• Pencils
• Paper
• Dice (sets of polyhedrals if you have them)
• Feedback (https://bit.ly/2ElXyiw)
• Imagination
As with all our games, No Experience Necessary!Please join us afterwards for food!

- Escape from Dino Island RPG - One-ShotMatts Card Shop, Blue Ash, OH
# Welcome to Dino Island
Escape from Dino Island is a thrilling adventure game of intrepid heroes trapped on an island overrun with creatures from a lost age—dinosaurs!
Players take on the role of brave, competent, but fundamentally normal people in way over their heads. The game helps you create action-packed stories that are full of suspense, but in which fighting is rarely a good option.
Will you escape with your life? And what kind of person will you become in your quest to survive? There’s only one way to find out…
Pre-generated characters provided, plus paper, pencil, dice if needed.
