What we’re about
*** Important info, please read! ***
Come learn Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition (latest version) in a comfortable and welcoming environment. New and experienced players are both welcome!
We’ll be playing a mix of one-shot adventures designed specifically for new players. Ask questions, learn how to play, and meet new people! Pre-made characters are provided in the event description or you can roll your own on D&D Beyond. Play time is typically around 4 hours. Please arrive on time and keep your RSVP status up-to-date! More details can be found in the individual events.
Some of the common questions we get:
What if I've never played D&D before and know nothing about it? Perfect! Lots of people who show up for Newbie Sessions have never played before. You'll be in good company and we will help you along the way!
Can I spectate a game? Unfortunately, no. We found spectators to be disruptive because they were connecting and disconnecting or forgetting to mute their microphones. We also found that many players don’t like having an audience when they play since it adds more pressure. See our FAQ for more information.
Which races and classes can I play? This may depend on your DM, but generally anything officially published and playtested is acceptable. See our Player Resources page on each event for more information.
What is a one-shot? What if I missed the last event? That's ok! One-shots are events that are completed in a single sitting. Each game is independent from the others. Just don't sign-up for the same event a second time because it's the same story.
What if I'm not very creative or bad at roleplaying? No problem. We've got you covered! If you're struggling with something, the DM will step in and help provide some ideas. Many new players struggle with the openness and freedom of D&D. We'll be there to support you throughout the entire game.

Upcoming events (4+)
See all- [Home Game] Help me learn a new TTRPG system - Daggerheart TTRPG @ 6PMArapaho Park, Littleton, CO
Note: This one starts at 6pm instead of the usual 7pm!
This'll be my first time running the game. I've got character sheets and some ideas. Let's figure it out together.
Spotlight game of "Daggerheart", a D12-based fantasy tabletop roleplaying game from Darrington Press (the creators of Critical Role) that emphasizes collaborative storytelling and long-term character progression. Even if you don't like Live Plays or Critical Role,... this is completely separate. It's the new HOT thing that keeps selling out everywhere. Don't miss out!
Gist: Here's a quick 4 minute video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmPp1q6l2bI
Where: My House! Which is very near Arapaho Park. RSVP to this event and I'll DM you my address through meetup Messages. Please make sure you've enabled the messaging feature. It seems that many users disable it to avoid unwanted DMs... Feel free to disable it again once I've sent you the address if you like. Thank you for the patience. I just prefer to keep my address private... yet I still wanna run games on meetup...
New to TTPRGs?: Good. No need to bring anything. Experienced players are welcome too but I'll cater to the newest newbie. It's super straight forward. No need to bring characters, paper,... or even dice.
Attendance: The event is free to attend. Attendance is capped so we have the right amount of people. Please RSVP with a higher level of certainty than you would for an online event because we can't just reach out to the Discord community to back-fill no-shows.
- (Pirate Day) In-person Pickup D&D 5e Adventure - pls waitlist even if full!LDS Church - Easter Building, Centennial, CO
- Pirate Theme: International Talk Like a Pirate Day is a parodic holiday created in 1995 by John Baur and Mark Summers of Albany, Oregon, who proclaimed September 19 each year as the day when everyone in the world should talk like a pirate.
- That's a fun/silly thing... So... we lightly-encourage/dare/challenge dungeon masters to plan something pirate-themed this time. No pressure. Just have fun.
Where: This event will be hosted at the LDS Church Building at 1939 E. Easter Ave. in Centennial, CO 80122 in a big room on the north side of the building. If you enter the building from the north side (the door with steps leading up to it), it should be just down the hall past a few closed doors and on your left. We'll have some signs that say "D&D" on doors.
A very inclusive group: While the event is at a church building, it's still NOT a religious group. There will be no religious pressuring. We're a very inclusive group of people built on Meetup and focused on "having fun playing D&D". Most attendees, historically, are not LDS church members. Please come play with us!
Venue Rules: Similar rules to when we host games at the public library:
- Please be respectful of the building
- Please help us clean up trash/chairs/tables at the end of the event.
- No Alcohol/Tobacco/Marijuana/Vaping/Smoking/etc in the building.
- Snacks are OK (and NOT required).
- It's our "privilege" (Not a "right") to use the building as a venue.
Transport: Please arrange for your own transport to/from the event. Please don't assume that someone at the event will be comfortable giving a stranger a ride home... even after playing in a delightful D&D game together.
New to D&D?: Good. We all were once. Just come. No need to bring anything besides yourself. We'll set you up for the night with all you need to play and answer all your questions.
D&D Characters: We’ll be playing with level 3 characters. You are welcome to create your own level 3 character before hand (using standard published rules). Please plan to play a character of a LG, NG, or CG alignment (it just works better for a one-shot with strangers). Please also create your characters using the standard array system for attribute selection. If you're a newbie, you're welcome to just show up and we'll have some pre-generated characters you can use.
If you'd like to print your character sheet in advance, I've uploaded some to this google drive folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1FQTNcVJZiqNkZbfMqtCTL5NHgl7hxf2V?usp=sharingAttendance: The event is free to attend. Attendance is capped so we have the right amount of people. Please RSVP with a higher level of certainty than you would for an online event because we can't just reach out to the Discord community to back-fill no-shows.
It is worth waitlisting for these events! Waitlisters help me to peer-pressure players to try being a dungeon master. If you waitlist early, there's a fair (but not guaranteed) chance that we'll open up more tables.Are you a Dungeon Master?: Players with (or without) experience are welcome to piggy-back on these events in order to leverage our reach and community of players. If you're interested in running a game during this event, either direct message DG Wiggins (the host) through the meetup app, or leave me a comment on the event saying so and I'll increase the RSVP limit and reserve us another table! The more DMs we have, the more players we can expose to the world of TTRPGs.
Note: No charging for games through us. It's all voluntary.Bringing your kids: Meetup has an age policy that members must be at least 18 years of age. We enjoy seeing parents participate in D&D with their teens (either as players or DMs). Parents are welcome to do so provided;
- You work within the meetup member policies (Found Here) AND
- You and your teen BOTH actually play in the game AND
- You RSVP yourself with a +1 so we can keep a good head count for RSVPs.
Please note that this is a public pick-up game. Most folks are quite pleasant but we can't guarantee anything. Demographically, attendees tend to be working or retired adults.
Feel free to ask additional questions in the event comments below.
- B-Con Gaming (mostly Board Games) Convention in DTCHilton Garden Inn Denver Tech Center, Denver, CO
B-Con Gaming Convention is a convention for Board games. It's mostly just "board games" with a few other things.
I'll be there. Come play with me!We don't have anything to do with running the convention.
