Hey All,

I'm looking to start up a new game that is more of a Dungeons and Daddies style game (funny/goofy) where you're whooshed off to a new word to save your pets. I'll be pulling stuff from the yawning portal and infinite staircase to supplement. We'll probably be doing 5.5e (new editions) and very beginner friendly - I'm a new DM.

The game would be in central Austin probably Tue or Wed and meeting weekly is the goal. Won't start for a few weeks as we figure things out.

If you're interested let me know!

I’m moving up to Leander soon. Anyone in the area running a game, or know of good tabletop game shops in the area?

(Lore)

!"A cursed artifact only known as—The Cup—has poisoned the land. Legends tell if you drink from it, and you’ll never die… but your soul feeds The Lich simply known as "MEE"**, a skeletal sorcerer driven to drown the world in shadow. Mee's plan is almost complete as he know can sever the ties of any promise with a new found weapon. The Cup’s magic is tied to The Star Forge*, a volcano where falling stars melt into rivers of light. To stop The Lich, you must destroy The Cup there—but doing so will kill everyone who sipped from it. Will you save the world… or doom those you swore to protect?"*!<

Any DND 5.5e or 5e Character is welcome. We use theatre of the mind and rules of cool.

If you don't like heavy RP this is not the game for you...

I'm looking to run 5e OR an indie game (Maybe Bastards, Maze Rats, Shadowdark, or Knave) for some newbies. DM me or comment if you're interested.

Note: When I say "South Austin" I am in Buda, but willing to travel as far north as downtown, if we find a location.

Experienced DM here looking to get a new group together to play the new editions. All experience levels welcome, and should note that I’m located in South Austin

EDIT: group has been filled!

Hi folks, I am looking to setup an in-person 2nd edition AD&D game. I'm in touch with a few folks who are interested but wanted to get the word out here. Not looking for anything super serious, just get together to roll dice and have a laugh. I'm based in Westlake but would do my best to work out a location that works for everyone.

I'm experienced in 5e and more than happy to help bridge the gap with 2e if you might be interested in exploring the edition that brought you Ravenloft, Planescape, Spelljammer etc.

Message me if you might be interested! Very early phase of figuring it out here, so the only thing set in stone is it'll be a 2nd edition game focused on the core rules (to start with at least..).

I'm in the Georgetown area looking for an in person dnd group. I've been in a few campaigns but currently have none and the itch is coming back.

mondays would probably be my best days but I am open to Thursday as well. Weekends are tougher as are the other weekdays.

I miss the in person aspect a lot so that is what I am really looking for. Happy to take any questions. Thanks for your time.

Hail hearty adventurers!
We play a hybrid of OSRIC and 1st Ed AD&D with a dose of house rules. We play every other Sunday at 1PM to 5PM. Our next session will be on Feb 2nd. We are only four sessions in and are starting to get into the groove and feel like adding an additional player would fill out the group nicely. Shoot me a DM if you are interested in some IRL old school fun.

I GM a group that plays Delta Green around North Austin most weeks on Wednesday evenings and would love to have 1-2 more player(s) that are good fits. There are 3 other players and we are pretty locked in for the game/time/location already. The game will run with just us alone if need be, but we do welcome some fresh blood that want in!

A Bit About Me:

I am a nonbinary queer commie and if you aren't cool with that you need not apply. Myself and some players in the group use they/them pronouns and we expect you to make genuine efforts to respect that and not be too sensitive to correction if it is a recurring issue. I am in my mid 20s along with the other players, and not that you necessarily have to be in the same age range per se, but that is the vibe. If you really like the police or israel or just don't vibe with leftists then I also imagine this group is not for you too. The game deals with overtly political themes and topics by nature of playing federal agents/employees in secret government conspiracies doing some of sketchiest security state things imaginable and so 'not being political' is really not a thing here and I am not looking for people that unironically worship the American security state.

What is Delta Green?

A horror investigative/mystery game that combines lots of lovecraftian/cthulhu mythos with government conspiracy horror. Don't be afraid if you aren't too familiar with those things, but people say it is like Call of Cthulhu meets X-Files in tone and mood. The rules are pretty streamlined and it is very easy to pick up just joining in cold, it feels especially easy and light to learn compared to things like DnD or CoC. I think the biggest thing to understand here is that this is a horror game that often has very dark themes.

I try and do my best at keeping it safer with trigger warnings, lines, veils, etc. but it is important to acknowledge that unintentionally there may still be uncomfortable moments like in any horror media. Particularly if you have issues with vague veiled descriptions of harm done to children by some of the 'enemies' then this particular delta green campaign I'm running soon is not for you.

If you made it through all of that and are still interested please send me a DM and we can chat!

*** even if you are reading this a good bit after the post was created, odds are I am running some kind of ttrpg (likely DG still) so if this post is still visible to you then I still have spots open for the same group!

Hello everyone. I am new to this whole Reddit thing and I also just moved to the Austin area and I am looking for a new group to join. I am very well versed in 5e but willing to learn other types. I am located north east of Austin so around there would be nice but I can travel. Dm me if you know of anyone looking or anything like that

*The group has been filled. Thank you everyone!*

All,

My wife and I just relocated to ATX for work, and I'm looking to get a TTRPG group going. A co-worker of mine is also interested in joining. We are both in our 30's and would prefer other professionals in the same general age range. Additionally, to ensure everyone feels comfortable and enjoys sessions, we would want players with good personal hygiene and a good attitude!

I have been DMing for around 10 years now and know both Pathfinder systems solid. I know 5E well enough to be dangerous and struggle through. I'm also open to someone else DMing, but have been relegated to the annals of permaDM for the past 10 years, so I can keep doing that if needed.

For timing and location, I'm considering Tuesday or Thursday from 6-10 CST at Emerald Tavern in North Austin weekly or every-other-week. I haven't chosen a campaign yet although I have a few I could run right out the gate. I won't be doing any homebrew content to keep my life balanced, but there are tons of premade campaigns.

I'm thinking of a full party of 3-5 players. Light role playing will be encouraged but not mandatory, I will want PC's to be reasonably lore friendly in whatever campaign world we choose. That's not to say that character creation options will be limited, but that if you choose something more unique it should be woven well into your backstory.

I'm mostly interested in making sure the party would all jive, so if someone is interested, I'd want to have a quick Discord chat for a few minutes to make sure everyone gets along and we are all looking for similar style games. It's not an interview, just an informal chat to make sure everything goes smoothly!

If anyone is interested, please send me a DM and we can move forward from there. Happy rolling!

*The group has been filled. Thank you everyone!*

Hey there—DM looking to do a one shot on Monday night upcoming: 5:30 - 10:30 pm. Looking for potential players for a long form campaign. DM is running a serious narrative-driven and high tension campaigns with battle, diplomacy, mystery, strong decisions/ consequences, homebrew, and adult themes.

All welcome: player interaction, ownership, turn-taking and agency encouraged. Quarterbacking, railroading, splitting the group, murder hobo, slapstick, spotlight hogging, min/maxing, meta gaming all get a harsh rebuke in game at the table and a warning outside the game. Multiple warnings and your character will receive a ceremonious yet narratively epic death and you won’t be welcome back.

World will be homebrew post medieval world that is grappling with technology. Think Borderlands, with a splash of Mad Max, and a sprinkle of American Horror Story.

Prefer experienced players at the moment who enjoy roleplay and take DnD seriously. I spend a lot of time and effort in my DM'ing and want players who respect my time and are able commit. I host at my place.

Drop me a DM!

Hey everyone. I recently settled down in Austin for the foreseeable future (was previously traveling a lot and couldn’t commit regularly). I am interested in finding a group that plans to run a longer campaign (not one shots). I am living in the Spyglass area in Southwest Austin (forgive me if that isn’t what you would call this area). If there is a long form campaign at a nearby game store I am not opposed to paying for a spot. Thanks everyone for your help!

Odyssey of the dragonlords is a 5e adventure set in the ancient Greek style setting of Thylea , as the players battle with the gods against thr great titans ad an age of peace comes to an end.

The game is I'm prgoress.for over a year now. Right now we have three players after one left Due to work balance so we're looking to bolster our team of heros. They are level 5 now but will be 6 in the next few sessions.

The players guid e is available for free on driverhrurpg or other sites if told like to take a look. The game has custom sub classes which are pretty good.

We play Saturdays at noon at emerald tavern.

If you're interested send me a message.

Hey all! New to the area and like to do one shots to get a feel of the nerd community:

Any intrest in a one off game set -

BETWEEN THE TIME WHEN THE OCEANS DRANK ATLANTIS AND THE RISE OF THE SONS OF ARYAS, THERE WAS AN AGE...UNDREAMED OF!

Join me as we travel to the strange and savage lands of Conan's Hyboria!

Using modiphius Robert E. Howard’s Conan-Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of RPG system which has a really cool DOOM mechanic baked in.

Respond here if your intrested and we'll work out dates for a game! I'd like to have this at Game Kastle in North Austin.

Come with me and LET ME TELL YOU OF THE DAYS OF HIGH ADVENTURE!

Hey guys and gals, so I’ve played DnD my whole life, but for the past 10ish years, life’s been too busy and friends have either moved or stopped playing. So I’ve stopped too.

Well, I want to get back into it. Are there any groups in Lakeway, West Lake, or adjacent areas that are looking for new members, preferably around 35+?

TLDR; Looking for a live game/group, quick study, not new to RP or dice mechanics, flexible schedule/travel.

Hi all I (33M) am looking for a DnD group to join. I'm located in Central East Austin, but willing to travel in town for game nights and am open schedule wise.

I'm down for any live game and I'm a quick study. I'm new to playing DnD but not new to the concept. I've got the dnd books, dice, am current on CR, have RP'd in other medias, played BG3, Pathfinder games, etc. but never landed a ttrpg group.

Ideally, I'm looking to make friends, have fun, enjoy some good story telling, and just generally have a good time.

Sales pitch:

Need an additional player? Hit me up.

Looking to spin up a new group? Hit me up.

Someone dropped out and the party could use another....hit me up.

Everybody plays DnD, but fantasy isn't really my interest. Are there any sci-fi games with similar followings?

Hello, I (28M) am looking to start a second campaign. I currently have a group that plays sunday afternoon every other week so I'm looking to fill my schedule in between. I've been DMing DnD 5e for ten years and am very open to new players. I live near lady bird lake so I'm willing to travel north or south.

The game would probably be dnd 5e with a few trial sessions. Could be anywhere from 2 to 6 players. Weekly or every other week. After the initial sessions, if we’re all still enjoying it, we can discuss continuing. Whether you’re a group of friends who’ve been looking for a dm or if we want to build a group of strangers just let me know.

Hey(27M) I’m a dungeon master in the north Austin area, me and my roommate are long time Players and DMs for 5e and pathfinder 1e. We usually do RP heavy story driven games, but have been having a hard time finding good players. If anyone is interested in getting something going DM me. (Super friendly to new players btw, I know some DMs aren’t so I figured I’d add that)

Sorry I haven’t been able to stay on this, holidays are still a little busy atm. But I had no idea there would be this many people looking for a DM. Someone messaged me all ready, and I generally keep my games small 2-4 players so I’d have space for maybe one more person at most, although I won’t know for sure until a little while from now. Still if your interested you should DM the type of game your looking for, I might be able to at least run some one-shots, or have some contacts I could reach out to if I have more opening.

Hi, all —

I’m new here, so I apologize if this sort of question is annoying. I’m looking to get back into TTRPGs after a multi-decade hiatus. In the past I played D&D (various editions), but now I’m looking to try something new. I’ve been researching online, and there are the one that most pique my interest:

Blades in the Dark

Mörk Borg

Shadow of the Demon Lord

Symbaroum

Vampire the Masquerade

Zweihänder

I’m not especially internet-savvy. What’s the best way to find a group here in Austin that plays one of these games?

Any guidance would be most appreciated.

Thanks!

F27 & M28. We are two folks looking for a long or short term DnD group session in north Austin's areas. Like Cedar Park, round rock, ect. We both have basic knowledge of DnD based on playing a few sessions, BG3, and Dimension 20. We are looking primarily for a DM and a few friends to hang out with once or twice a week? Perhaps weekends or after the usual 9 to 5 period, since we are unfortunately adults. :)

Just trying to see if there's any interest in Blades in the Dark. I was recently introduced to the system during a one shot with my regular group and I really love the system and the setting, so I'm trying to find a way to get more time with it.

Ideally there's already an existing group who'd be willing to take on a player for a few sessions just so I can try it out some more.

But if not, I'm considering putting a group together of people who might be interested in trying it for a few sessions. I don't have any logistics worked out regarding who, when,where, etc. Just seeing who's interested at this point.

If you've seen a similar message in some of the local RPG discords, yes that's me. If you've already reached out, I haven't forgotten about you. Just still trying to gather my thoughts on what this is going to look like before I start formally putting something together.

EDIT: Probably should have mentioned this initially, but location will likely be Round Rock, Hutto, Pflugerville, Georgetown, North Austin area since that's what will be convenient for me. Will likely choose a public location for initial meetups (coffee shop, library meeting room, or something, open to suggestions)

Hey everyone. I am looking to join a dnd group for working adults. I have been a permanent DM for a while now and would love to play a character. If anyone is looking for a player, please let me know.

Get ready for another epic Dungeons and Drafts event from 6-10 PM! This is your chance to jump into the world of D&D, whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned player. We could also use a few experienced Dungeon Masters as always so if you'd like to host a table message us!

Enjoy themed cocktails and immerse yourself in exciting gameplay while mingling with fellow adventurers.

Don’t miss the Wizard City live performance at 6 PM. What's Wizard City? Well it is a hilarious, over-the-top puppet show filled with unhinged humor and original music! With Dungeon Masters guiding the way, Dungeons and Drafts promises an epic night filled with magic, mischief, and adventure!

WHERE? BUZZMILL 1505 town creek dr, atx
WHEN? tuesday the 17th at 6pm

>>> facebook event page! <<<

Don’t know if this has been posted, but a delicious beer and a dope work of art. Highly recommended to give it a shot.

EDIT: Seats are currently filled. Thanks everyone!

Looking for a 5th Player for a D&D 5e Campaign!

When: First and third Sundays of every month, from noon to 5 PM, with Session 0 on January 5th.

Where: In-person at a home on the east side of Round Rock.

Game System: Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition (2024).

About the Campaign:

Our game is set in a homebrew world, with a strong focus on the hero’s journey. I have only created the skeleton of the world, the actions of the players will shape and build the world around them, creating a unique, and evolving experience. Characters start as ordinary people and grow into powerful adventurers uncovering ancient magical mysteries. The campaign blends structured narrative and sandbox exploration with combat, roleplay, and problem-solving.

Session 0 on January 5th will establish characters, discuss the tone of the game, and set expectations before regular gameplay begins.

What We’re Looking For in a Player:

• New Players Welcome: Whether you’re new to D&D or a seasoned adventurer, we’re happy to have you.
• Commitment: We value regular attendance and clear communication.
• Respectful: A welcoming and inclusive table is essential. We actively support and value diversity, including LGBTQIA+ players and individuals from all backgrounds. Respect for other players and their characters is non-negotiable.
• Collaborative Storytelling: This is a player-driven story, and we’re looking for someone eager to contribute to the narrative and party dynamic.
• No PvP: This is a cooperative campaign—our conflicts stay in-character and are resolved through roleplay.

Who We Are:

We’re a group of working adults who appreciate the effort it takes to set aside free time to gather. This campaign is a chance to relax, tell an amazing story, and have fun. Our Dungeon Master is running their first campaign and aims to create an exciting and enjoyable experience with plenty of room for character growth and world-building.

How to Join:

If this sounds like a good fit for you, DM me with a little about yourself, your experience with D&D (if any), and your expectations as a player. We’re excited to meet you and have you join the adventure!

Looking for experienced roleplayers to do a 4-6 session campaign to test the systems in my original ttrpg that I plan to publish in the future. The game takes place in a hard sci-fi 19th century alternate America, and aims to satirize the time period and subvert the tropes of western media myths. This is a mature southern gothic setting, not a rootin' tootin' playground. The sci-fi aspects of the universe amplify the lessons and themes we can glean from real history. You can expect for your character to be concerned with survival over adventure, and real world social and political issues taken from American history will fill out the world as the players complete their mysterious mission from an unknown puppetmaster.

If you're interested in playing and are available in person or online on thursday or friday evenings, reply here or DM me, and i can send you the PDF rulebook. Thanks for considering!
