Portland Area Board Games and RPGs

Intro and Ground Rules
In-person, live, in-real-time game play is the focus of this Meetup group/collective. Discover new games or play old favorites. Read the posted details for events that interest you. All group Members listed are active (see below).
.
Portland Area Board Games and RPGs as a collective welcomes you to join in events several different host teams run. Each TEAM of hosts (the best way!), is in charge of the events they post and they retain full charge over who participates in their events.

--- Meetup Group Ground Rules and Guidelines ---
1. No DMs unless you've met in-person and are given permission.
2. If you ask to game with someone and they say no, respect it and find someone else to game with.
- Be kind, respect others, help create safe spaces.
- Most players are looking to enjoy game play and social time, not romance.
- Use opportunities to slowly grow a circle of friends that you can share fun times with for years to come.
- Bad actors (those that act against, or in disregard of, these Ground Rules and Guidelines) weaken our community. Bad actors may be banned from this Meetup group. The full Leadership group may be notified.
- Live into the community you want to live in.

Join/Start a Host TEAM
Many hands make light work! Volunteer to help as you are able. Want to start up an ongoing event/game night, or run a special event? Either post your thoughts in the Discussion space for Portland Area Board Games and RPGs, or contact one of the Organizers/Co-Organizers on the Leadership list (on full website, not mobile). 
.
Site Use
Currently Meetup functions differently on the mobile app vs the full website. The website gives users access to a calendar view of events, a page of all event photo albums, and different ways to sort/view members. Both means of access are handy in their own way.
.
Active Members Only
In 2025 we began focusing on growing active users of the group. All members listed are active or have recently joined. To maintain membership users should visit the Portland Area Board Games and RPGs group website at least once every 6 months. Users inactive past that time may find they need to rejoin. No worries. Should that happen to you, you will be welcomed back. All are welcome to join/rejoin any time, except bad actors, of course. Live into the community you want to live in. :)
