Thieves Run: A Community TTRPG Night

Come check out our local TTRPG community as we play one-shots and open campaigns!

> If you've never played a TTRPG before, checkout our D&D Night event page for more information on our most beginner-friendly event!

While I'm running my beginner friendly table (Daggerheart), a handful of GMs run a variety of games such as Pathfinder, Starfinder, Call of Cthulhu, Vampire the Masquerade, Mothership, Old Gods of Appalachia, Shadowdark, Dragonbane, Dice Mice (an indie game in development by Gary Mattingly), Catastrophe, and I'm sure I'm missing a few others.

To see what games are planned for tonight, check the comment section below.

We run things in a pretty chill and fluid/organic way: I don't run any sign-ups and the night is intended for folks who want to be social while also playing a TTRPG, although you can reach out directly to a GM beforehand to ask them if they'll save you a seat at their game. We swing pretty "system agnostic," with a focus on being flexible even if you have a strong preference for what you want to play that night. We're a free TTRPG Community Night where all but one GM (me) is a volunteer.

We also love to help GMs take their first crack a running their first game or a new system.

About the Venue
Awry Brewing is a small brewery on the corner of Winter and Barret. They have a cabinet of board games, a couple TVs that play nerdier stuff (at least one is usually animation if not anime, and sometimes folks play Switch games at the bar), a lot of indie art, and the intention to be a haven for nerds.

We've been slowly expanding over the last year, so if we get to the place where our weekly attendance is too cramped (5 full TTRPG tables is probably our max for the space at Awry), we have a plan to expand into nearby Goodfellas. (We currently run 3-4 tables consistently, but—as of 9/8/25 when I wrote this—three more GMs just volunteered to start running stuff at varying levels of consistency).

Provision! (Food & Drink)
Awry's offerings include an ever rotating list of beers, a small cocktail menu, and pub-style foods. Their "Chicken Nugz" are my favorite, and there's also an easily accessible water station.

Is there an event fee?
There is no fee to play at this event. If you can afford it, plan to be a good patron for the brewery by making some sort of purchase—whether it be a drink or just a snack. And, of course, tip your bartender!

Miscellaneous Notes

• By default, public No Dice events are 18+ events
• Meetup messenger does not send me notifications, so day-of messages or comments will likely not be seen by me until after the event (the best way to contact me is through Discord, you can follow this link and @cali in the bothering-cali channel: https://discord.gg/6Tv4qHBVvc)
