About us
Founded in 2012, the Gamers of Hampton Roads is a local adult community for people who enjoy gaming of all kinds, from tabletop games to console and computer games! We host game nights, attend local conventions, and meet up for food, movies, and other fun activities!
We also have a Discord, which members gain access to when they attend their first event (we try to keep the Discord exclusive to local members). We're a pretty laid back group looking to make new friends and have a good time! Due to language and adult themes, you must be 21 or older to join.

Blood on the Clocktower
Tap n Roll - Newport News, 11 Hidenwood Shopping Center, Newport News, VA, USTap n Roll Newport News is graciously allowing us to play at their store. They are putting this event on their calendar. Hopefully we can get it to be a regular monthly event there.
With Tap n Roll hosting, they are going to charge a $5 fee for signups/guaranteed spots, which will be applied to your store account and can be used for anything in the store. You can save the money in your account to use at any time. Once the event is added to the calendar you can sign up there. I will make a comment below when it's up.
The event will be open to walk-ins. Walk-ins won't have to pay anything, but a spot is not guaranteed.
For this first even at Tap n Roll, Jamie will be storytelling, as I (David) have another thing that day, but I might show to play in the evening. For future events, it there are enough people, we may have two circles and both storytell.
If you would like to see a regular event at this location, please sign up and support the store.
Since I won't be there to storytell, this event will be limited to a 17 rsvps (Jamie, me, and 15 players). For future events, we will double or remove the limit.

This is a social deduction/deception game. New players are welcome. We'll explain how to play and provide guidance as needed.
If you've not played BotC before, here's the description:
Blood on the Clocktower is a social game of deduction and deception, lies, logic, murder, and mystery for five to twenty players. During the day phase, players go into private conversations of 2 or 3 to gather information, share what they know, or spread lies, then come together to talk and socialize as a group before nominating a player to "die". During the night, players close their eyes, while some good players wake to learn valuable information, and the demon and its minions wake to spread their mischief.
Each player is a unique character, with a powerful ability to use or a troublesome penalty to avoid. BotC is mostly a talking game, with almost no physical pieces for the players to use. Players win or lose by their wits, their insight, and their ability to convince others about who should live and who should die.
Unlike other games of this type, players do not leave the game if they die. If killed at night, or executed during the day, the player stays in the game, opens and closes eyes as normal, and can talk at any time. The disadvantage to dying is that you lose your ability, and you only have one vote left for the rest of the game. Use it wisely. The game ends when the players kill the demon (usually only one, except in very large games) and the demon and his minions win if there are only the demon and one other players left.
At night, talking is allowed, except for narrating what you are doing at night. Talking is encouraged. The storyteller will not talk at night, but rather use hand signals.
There are handouts with all of the possible roles within any particular script, or game, so you can always check what your role, or anyone else’s, does.
