KC Nerds and Introverts

Welcome to the KC Nerds & Introverts! The goal of the group is to help facilitate a variety of events where you can enjoy hanging out and meeting new people. We have regularly scheduled board game nights, every other Saturday. We have some D&D groups (currently full, sorry), several members who play MTG regularly. We also occasionally play Among Us together, go see a movie, go to the Ren Fest & Planet Comicon together. In the past we've had a New Year's Party, gone out for St. Patrick's Day, had a 4th of July grill out/potluck. We have several members who enjoy playing pool, going to karaoke, sports. If there's something you would like to do, just suggest it and see who else is interested in joining!

While you don't have to be an introvert to join, the energy of the group is lower & slower. More low-key. ** AND MOST OF OUR EVENTS ARE NOT ANNOUNCED ON MEETUP. ** Most of our events are created and announced on Discord - another great reason to join the discord server. Most of the regulars no longer use MeetUp at all, so we rely pretty heavily on discord for communication. We do not have a public link - members can show up to an in person event, or msg an admin for an invite. ((The reason we do not have a public link is for security.))

**** You don't have to be an introvert to join the group, but most of us are. We all understand being shy, quiet, feeling awkward and torn between not wanting to feel left out but also anxious about meeting new people. With that said, MeetUp is literally meant to be a place to facilitate meeting new people and hanging out. The discord server is a great way to slowly get to know people before showing up at events, which can help eliminate some anxiety, hopefully. However, we do go through periodic "purges" because we want to keep the group at a manageable size, and limited to those who are actually interested in being involved. So periodically we'll remove members who haven't spoken on discord or attended any events in over 7 months. ****
