About us
Beginners and Veterans, Welcome!
If you're curious about D&D or just want to find people with whom to play D&D or other TTRPGs, you will be right at home in this group! Let’s get together and skirt around dungeons, make friends with dragons, and run away from the cloaked figure beckoning us in the tavern. Wait... maybe I got that mixed up...
We host group forming meetups, LearnToPlay sessions, and One-shots from time to time to bring as much D&D to the community we live in!
This is a welcoming community with no tolerance for discrimination against any group.
Bring yourself and an open mind to one of our events or send us a message in our community Discord Server! https://discord.gg/x2w5swWTKG
Thanks as always to our main venue of choice, Paradise Games and Gifts for sponsoring us! If you are looking for supplies for your own games or just shiny math rocks, please check them out:

The Natural Ones is an activity group for adults. If you are under 16, please contact the organizers. We'd love to help you find a game. Participants between 16 and 18 must be supervised and accompanied by an adult guardian at the event.
