Next game day in Berlin · Halloween Special
Six things that are true of every game day, not six things we intend.
You meet players and game masters at the table, not in a Discord thread three weeks earlier. No awkward cold start, no group you have to audition for.
Pick a table, put your name on a seat. 8 tables next time, 8 with seats free and 0 running a waiting list.
5 of the 8 tables next time provide the character, the dice and the rules. Never having played is the normal way to arrive.
Seat count, system, how long it runs, whether it suits a first-timer, and what it contains. Published before you book, not sprung on you at the table.
Lines and veils at every table. Any player can stop a scene at any moment and nobody asks why. It takes three minutes at the start and it is not exceptional.
Real rooms in real places — Sonnenallee 124, Another Country Bookshop, Tales Untold — for an afternoon and an evening, once a month.
Why this exists
After years of running games across Europe I noticed something simple but true: finding the right group is harder than playing the game itself. Schedules clash, vibes miss, and the magic fades before the first dice even roll.
So Dice & Tale is built the other way round. The gatherings are not about min-maxing or rushing a campaign. They are afternoons where people connect first and play second, because when the chemistry is real the story writes itself.
Nobody is paid. 20 tables so far, each run by a volunteer game master. Entry covers the room, and whatever is left goes into the next one.

Eight evil drow enter the Widow's Web. One walks out to rule. Level 8, no rests, no death saves, no resurrection. Team up, backstab on cue, and expect to die, possibly in the first hour. A 5 to 7 hour elimination one-shot where losing is half the fun.
