Join us Sunday afternoon for a Tabletop RPG Game Day at Halfling's Hideout in Brookline, Pittsburgh!

Whether you're a brand-new player or a seasoned dice veteran, you're welcome at the table. This event brings together GMs and players for standalone sessions, ongoing games, and experimental systems, whatever our GMs are excited to run.

New players welcome. No experience required. If you're not sure where to start, just look for the people with dice — they'll get you sorted.

About the Venue
Halfling's Hideout is a brand-new tabletop specialty shop in Brookline with plenty of table space and terrain available for GMs who want to add some flair to their sessions. Snacks and drinks are available in-store, and outside food and beverages are welcome. Pick up your Rations before the Dice Roll. The neighborhood has some great options nearby: Las Palmas for phenomenal tacos and Pitaland for incredible gyros from a local Greek bakery, plus several bars and restaurants within easy walking distance.

Looking for GMs

As usual, we’re looking for GMs to run games. Feel free to run one-shots, mini-campaigns, system demos, whatever you're excited about. Terrain is available on-site if you want to use it. Let us know ahead of time.

If you'd like to run a game, please submit it via the GM Submission Form. Once games are submitted, we'll create separate Meetup listings for each session so players can sign up directly.

Questions? Reach out via Discord or the event page — we're happy to help you get set up.

How the Game Day Works

  1. RSVP for this main event so we can gauge attendance and coordinate with the GMs.
  2. Browse the separate game-session Meetup listings as they're announced.
  3. Sign up for the specific game you want to play. This sign-up is the one that matters.
  4. Arrive early to pick up your Rations from the shop and be ready for the Dice Roll at noon.
  5. Show up ready to roll the dice and have fun.

If a game is full, join the waitlist and still show up. No-shows and last-minute cancellations happen, so there's a real chance a seat opens up. No guarantees, but it's absolutely worth coming.

Already RSVP'd but can't make it? Please update your Meetup attendance as soon as you know. It takes 10 seconds and means someone on the waitlist gets to play. It's one of the best things you can do for the community.

Join the Guild
We coordinate games, announcements, and community chat on Discord. Joining the server is the best way to stay informed and connect with other GMs and players.

Support the Venue
Halfling's Hideout is a brand-new local shop and a natural home for Pittsburgh's tabletop community.

Grab some snacks, browse the shelves, and help a great local business thrive.

Bring your dice, bring your friends, and let the Dice Gods decide the story. We'll see you in Brookline.
