Looking for some people to join our dnd group

Me and my friend are trying to start a dnd group and need a couple people to join! No experience required I’m trying out being a DM for the first time and would prefer people who are more patient. We haven’t ironed out all the details so if you’re interested let me know and we can figure out dates to meet up and all that later. Also I’m always down to hear some tips for a beginner DM if you guys have any.

505 Female Friends (30s+) Discord

About three weeks ago I created 505 Female Friends (30s+) Discord for women and those who identify as women, nonbinary, and transgender to come together in a safe space to find friendship and support. I closed the invite as we grew so fast but it's been super chill this whole time so I'd like to open up the Discord invite once again: https://discord.gg/VbgZExpba2

If you identify as a woman or NB, and are looking for friends, we have some amazing active daily chats in the Discord channels.

Prefer in-person hangouts? We have some fun meetup events on our calendar like walks in the Botanic Garden, game nights, a picnic, and more to come. Members also post for hangouts such as Costco strolls, coffee, and puzzles.

To come are trivia nights, a ball, and more exciting events.

Please note, this group is specifically for people who identify as female or NB to find friendships–not dating, hookups, or romantic encounters. We also do not allow political or religious debates. We want the space to remain respectful and fun.

See my comment below for answers to Frequently Asked Questions!

Miniature Meet Up: Build & Paint - Sunday 10/6, 2pm, at Slice & Dice

This Sunday from 2pm - 5pm (ish) @ Slice and Dice on Wyoming. Bring your minis, terrain, etc... to paint or work on building. Minis must be primed in advance if you plan to paint. Figures for any game system or interest allowed. Hang out, paint or build, and have some social time while getting some hobby time in! Bring your own supplies.

For those who want to learn: I have a limited number of primed minis, paints, and brushes you are welcome to learn with. If you plan to come to learn, please message me to RSVP so I can make sure I bring enough minis. If you want to learn on a mini of your choosing, please prime it in advance - We don't want to be doing a bunch of spray painting in the parking lot. You will have a choice of learning with acrylics or speedpaints. If you want to learn acrylics you will need a wet pallet; I do not have extras to share. For a better experience, you may want to buy your own brushes.

Do I need to buy anything?
Please buy food and/or drinks to support Slice & Dice. They also have painting supplies for sale.

What's the difference between Speedpaints and Acrylics? Most of the high level painters you've seen on YouTube use acrylics to get high level of detail like you might see on a Warhammer box. Speed paints get you a good looking table ready mini fast, but aren't going to win you a painting competition.

Join us on discord: https://discord.gg/SwndwgBrvM

Anyone in Albuquerque looking for a good deal on an AIO liquid cooler? (Asus ROG Ryujin III 360)

I bought this a couple months ago, and it didn't fit my case - out of return period and honestly not worth the hassle to rebox it and print a shipping label and all that, so looking for $200 on it local.

https://www.newegg.com/asus-liquid-cooling-system-rog-ryujin-360-radiator-size-399-5-x-120-x-30-mm/p/N82E16835101097

It's brand new, the radiator and pump have never been opened, I did unbox it to double check the fit and it was just a few mm too thick (pcpartpicker said it would fit...go figure)

This is the black version, not RGB.

Lemme know, it's a nice system, I wound up with the 240mm version, it's quiet and the screen is nice.

Minture Painting Meet Up

Would anyone be interested in combining some hobby time with social time? Thinking about organizing a mini painting meet up at Slice & Dice. Bring your minis and paints and hang out while you work on them. All games/minis welcome. I could also teach folks who want to learn to paint, and provide some paints and brushes for learning with. I'm thinking Saturdays or Sundays daytime.

Any video game cons in NM?

Hey everyone, recently moved here from Illinois. Loving NM so far very much!

I live in Santa Fe and I notice that there’s a very strong tabletop gaming culture in the city and seemingly NM in general, which is awesome. But I don’t seem to hear nearly as much about video games. I’ve been an avid video gamer since my first trip to the arcade in the early 80’s and I’ve always loved going to video game conventions around the Midwest when I lived there. Any video game cons ever come through our beautiful state? Or is our only option to drive to Texas or Arizona for that?

Fungal Nerd Out at Camp May / Pajarito Ski Area this Saturday 9/21 at 11 AM

Hello fellow Nerds! I am a nerd of the fungal variety 🍄 I wanted to let you all know about an opportunity to nerd out about mushrooms this weekend! Please join us for an educational forage at Pajarito Ski Area. Well will have an introduction to foraging talk, discuss why people forage, what to look for, and talk about fungal ecology and maybe even get into DNA sequencing. We will conclude the day by cheffing up the edible mushrooms we’ve foraged. Donation is encouraged but not required, we want everyone to be able to join regardless of their financial situation.

Kiddos and doggos welcome to join as well!

Here is the link but I will also add it in the comments! The link is the way to sign up and it also has information like what to bring and more.

Join our Albuquerque friends discord server!

(Not affiliated with subreddit admins)

Most members are in their 20’s/30’s. It’s a supportive, diverse, and inclusive community of people in ABQ. There are members that are straight, gay, bi, trans, men, women, hispanic, black, white, asian, etc, etc. People in the server tend to be into nerdier hobbies like TTRPGs, Gaming, Anime, and etc, but there’s also people going to the gym, raves, and wider range of hobbies. At times we have large server meet-ups where everyone is invited to a single place, but many people also meet weekly in smaller groups. You don’t have to want to meet in person to be a part of the discord, there are people who just want to chat with other people in ABQ. It’s a very supportive place to get things off of your chest, celebrate, ask questions, and bond with other people.

The link is pinned on my profile, because the reddit is having issues with discord links for some reason. But also here with the link separated: (https:// discord .gg/e8jsN8JB)
