It's quick and easy to learn and we'll make characters and teach the game on the spot. If you want to bring your own dice just grab a couple of d6's.

Perfect for fans of Fallout or Mad Max!

So far we've got rotating Nintendo Switch games on the main bar TV as well as various tabletop games (Root/Chess/etc.) available for anyone who wants to play. Pickup D&D 5E one shots are every other Tuesday depending on when our resident Game Master is available.

Cheers!

Hey all, I'm currently working on a grassroots hobby magazine for central VA. If you are into Warhammer, RPGs, fantasy, scifi, or other tabletop games, this is for you! Have any artwork, homebrew content, or writing you want to share? Send it to me at rva28nerd@gmail.com and I'll try my best to include some of it!

Hey folks!

I host Tabletop RPG day at the Mechanicsville Library and our next game is this Saturday!

We'll be out from 10 AM to 2 PM playing A Fistful of Darkness, a Weird West game of gunslingers, outlaws and a post-apocalyptic sci-fi world based on Blades in the Dark. No previous experience required and if you want to bring dice from home just grab a handful of D6's!

Meetup Link for TTRPG Day at the Mechanicsville Library

WE’RE BACK for Game Night on Wednesday, May 10th at Gallery 5. 6pm til 10, no cover charge. We’ll have chess, Catan, Magic, and more! People are welcomed and encouraged to bring any other game they’d like to play.

Many of you who remember the before times know how special of a place Gallery 5 is for Richmond’s gaming community. Our very club was born there, and we can’t wait to be back.

For anyone specifically interested in chess, find us on Instagram at rvapieces or our website rvapieces.org for updates on where we’ll be. We meet three times a week around the arts district, as well as offer a free group lesson for beginners of all ages every Saturday at the ICA at noon.

I've been itching to join a new campaign but I work 2-9:30 Wednesday-Sunday and one of my days off is already dedicated to DnD and I'd rather not lose both of my days off. I'm about to start DMing with my other group for the first time so I'd really like to be a player. I'm thinking any night besides Monday or Tuesday night starting at 10. Preferably weekly but I'm cool with once every two weeks. I know it's late so I'm cool with shorter sessions as well!

Hi all,

I am trying to form a blood on the clocktower group that meets either weekly or bi-weekly. For those who don't know what it is, BotC is a social deduction game similar to one night werewolf, where everyone has a unique character ability and is placed in one of two teams. Each player has to use their ability to find out who is on what team. There is more to it than that, but that is the game in a nutshell. You can find out more about the game here: https://bloodontheclocktower.com/

Let me know if you are interested and if we get enough people we can meet at a board-game friendly place such as Garden Grove.

So, I've been throwing more money into decks and I literally play with the same two guys like once every [insert time frame], and it's really not frequent enough to warrant the amount of time and effort I've put into said decks lately. I'd be down to meet up in public-- OEJs, Battlegrounds, wherever, really! I'm also capable of hosting if people feel comfortable coming to hang, or am willing to travel to yours if you're comfortable with hosting! I've also got a switch with Smash and Mario party, and I have random steam games and board games if you're looking for those! Even got most of the Jackbox Party Packs installed!

Would ideally like to make new friends for consistent meet ups/hangouts, maybe once every week or two would be wonderful, but I understand life happens and we may not be able to keep up that cadence!

Hopefully there are some local gaming peeps though! For the love of God, help me scratch this MTG itch!

For anyone who may be interested, there's a great board game place that opened up in Midlothian. It's called Unplugged. They have over 600 boardgames, game nights and serve beer, wine, soda/coffee and food.

I've been telling my D&D group that Fiancee and I would host a board game night for something like six months now, so I figured after the holidays it was finally time to get around to it.

Fiancee will cook [snacks/dinner]. I will contribute by not making anyone eat something I cook. I'm a vegetarian, if you have any dietary restrictions beyond that, please let us know and we will accommodate.

Games! Or bring your own! I'm happy to play anything. There are some games in my collection that I have never played (Fiancee got me a board game subscription a couple years ago and several require 3+ players) or have only played once (usually because she didn't like them). So if there's a particular one you have your eyes on, don't count on me to be able to teach it. My favorite games in my collection are Terraforming Mars, Through the Ages, Everdell (which I just got for Christmas), Dominion (which is on top behind the "all is calm all is bright"), Carcassonne, and Catan.

We live out in Midlothian (the far end) so I'm a ~30 minute drive from most people. We also have two (friendly) dogs, so if you're allergic or a monster who hates dogs you might not want to come. DM for the address. Doors open at 2 PM, though you're welcome any time after that.

COVID Policy/Disclosure: I'm healthy, vaccinated, and boosted, with no plans to visit elderly people any time soon. As such COVID poses no practical threat to me, so I don't particularly care about such things. My personal opinion is that Omicron is going to get us all, but if you're vaccinated, you're going to be fine, so we should just live our lives. (And play board games!) I have no intentions of wearing a mask, though of course anyone is welcome to wear one if they like. If it makes you more comfortable, I do have a 430 CFM HEPA filter that will be running.

Hi all,

Has anyone had any experiences with local 3DS repair? I'm looking to get the SD card replaced that reads the game cards.

Good experiences? Reasonable Prices? Fast turn around?
