Three ways in

Turning up

You do not need to know anybody. Most people arrive on their own.

Who turns up

Real game days

Name stickers, strangers at the same table, and most of them came on their own.

Six players at a table wearing hand-written name badges, character sheets and dice trays in front of them.
Five players either side of a hand-decorated game master screen, crisp packets open on the table.
Four people at a small round table, one behind a laptop, beer bottles and a name badge.
A dungeon battle map and miniatures under purple light, players thinking hard behind their character sheets.
A long table of players under red bookshelves and a low ceiling, bottles and character sheets spread between them.

    Book a seat

    Pick a table on the next game day and reserve a place. Tables marked beginner friendly provide characters, dice and rules explanations, so the only thing you bring is yourself.

    Get an email when a date is set

    One message per game day, with the venue and the table list. Nothing else, and you can leave at any time.


Before you come

Worth knowing

  • Tables run three to four hours. You can play one and leave.
  • You do not need dice, a character, a rulebook, or a group.
  • Content warnings are on each table. Read them; they are there for a reason.
  • If a table is full, join the waiting list. People drop out most months.
  • Turn up ten minutes early. Tables start on time because eight of them have to.

Everyone at the table has agreed to the code of conduct.
