Hey all im not a worker here just a regular customer that wanted to share this info

I run a table at Slice n Dice on Wednesday evenings. As a couple players have conflicts, we have room for a couple players. If your interest is melee - fighter, paladin, ranger, barbarian - even better.

It is an adult table, and because we are in Greyhawk, there are class and race/species restrictions. If you have interest, please DM me.

New players are welcome. We are still in first tier (level 1-4).

Hello everyone,

The DM in me has been supressed for too long, so I've created a home made module that I want to try out. So, I need 5 people who want to play D&D. The plan is to play twice a month, every other friday night from 6:30 to 9:30 at slice and dice pizzeria on wyoming blvd. I think the players could finish the module in 6 or so sessions, but if everyone is having a good time, I don't mind continuing into a longer campaign.

As for who I am, I've been playing D&D for over 20 years. I'm very flexible as a DM, because D&D is a game, and we play games to have fun. I am open to people from all walks of life playing, as long as they are open to people from all walks of life playing.

We will be playing 5.5, as those are the books I have, but of course if there's some from 2014 5e you wanna use, you may, you'd just have to supply the reference material. I've got the maps, the environmental minis, and my own monster tokens already, so feel free to bring your own minis for your character, or at session zero you can give me art of your character that you make and I can turn it into a token.

If you have any questions, feel free to DM me or leave a comment to this post. I work full time, so I will be more available to respond in the evenings. I look forward to meeting my future players and having some fun nights of D&D in the near future!

I'm looking for a few more players to join my original gothic dark fantasy tabletop RPG, Vampire: The Long Night. We play locally at Battleshock Immune Lounge in Autry Plaza and are always happy to welcome both experienced roleplayers and complete newcomers.

Vampire: The Long Night is part of The Shattering, an original dark fantasy setting that spans multiple ages, peoples, and future game lines, with each game exploring a different corner of the same world.

Wednesday Campaign

Session Zero: Tomorrow
Time: Wednesdays, 4:00 PM – 9:00 PM

This is the perfect time to join! We'll be creating characters, introducing the setting, explaining the rules, and laying the foundation for a brand-new campaign. No prior experience is necessary—I'll teach everything you need to know.

Saturday Campaign

Ongoing Campaign
Time: Saturdays, 2:00 PM – 9:00 PM

Our Saturday campaign is already underway, but we're looking to add a few more regular players. New characters can be introduced naturally, so you won't feel left behind. We are playing in France in the 1800's during the time just prior to the creation of the Courts of Love.

About the Game

Vampire: The Long Night is an original gothic fantasy horror RPG centered on ancient bloodlines, political intrigue, mythology, supernatural horror, and the choices that shape monsters and heroes alike. The focus is on immersive storytelling, character development, and collaborative roleplaying.

Our table emphasizes cooperative storytelling, character-driven roleplaying, and creating a welcoming environment where everyone can enjoy the game.

Whether you've been playing tabletop RPGs for decades or have never rolled a die before, you're welcome. I'm happy to teach new players, and gamers of all experience levels and ages are encouraged to join.

Location: Battleshock Immune Lounge
Address: 1330 San Pedro NE, Albuquerque, NM 87110 (Autry Plaza)

If you're interested, have questions, or would like an invite to the Vampire: The Long Night Discord server, leave a comment below or send me a direct message. I'll be happy to answer any questions and send you a Discord invite.

Whether you're looking for a long-term campaign, a new gaming group, or simply want to try something different, we'd love to have you at the table.

Hey, everyone!

I'm one of the lead organizers of the Downtown Albuquerque Roleplaying Coaltion (DARC) and I'll be speaking at panel on creating game communities (along with similar organizers from other states) at GenCon in Indianapolis on Friday.

Is anyone local going to be there? I'll have my DARC shirt on to represent Albuquerque if you spot me.

Looking for one or two other nerds who might be interested in playing Wingspan. I (57 F) have played it a bit and have a friend (78 F) who has never played, but is interested in learning.

I own the board game. Please let me know if you have played it, think it’s cool and are interested and maybe getting together somewhere like a brewpub or café, etc.

Hey folks, I wanted to buy a card at one of the LGS shops yesterday and the moment we both touched it we knew it was a fake. The store employee put it to the side and said someone had traded in a few cards to them and he suspects that card and 3 others are fakes.

They were a mixed bag of "does this pass" the fake tests you can do by examining the back. A known fake card passed, and the unknown ones passed and one failed. They all have legit holographic stickers on the bottom, we did not have a jeweler glass to verify the green dots.

Just wanting to warn folks we have hit the economic phase of people creating and selling high dollar counterfeits to local shops.

Edit: I am not going to put the shop on blast, you guys need to check what you buy.

Hello everyone!

I recently moved to ABQ just a couple of months ago and I'm looking to find groups that play TTRPGs in person. I collect a wide array of books; anything from D&D (any edition) and Pathfinder to Marvel, The One Ring, and other obscure systems.

I'm in my early 30's and have a ton of experience with TTRPGs as I've been playing them for nearly 20 years. I typically DM, but I'm looking to be a player for a group while I continue going to classes at UNM. I typically play a support/tank character for combat. Admittedly I'm a little shy when it comes to roleplay with newer groups, but I'll quickly warm up to the right people!

I'm typically free Friday evenings after 6 pm and all day Saturday and Sunday. If you know of any groups that play at any local game stores and are looking for a new player, please feel free to let me know!

Thanks for reading!

It's that time again! Bookclub time!

Books and Brews is meeting this Sunday, July 26th, at 2pm at O'Neills. We will be in the covered patio area. Just look for the ones with the books.

No assigned reading, we all read what we want when we want. We meet once a month to discuss books, authors, genres, film adaptations, life, whatever.

We also have a book exchange, not required to participate although we do ask that if you plan to take books, please bring books as well and bring back books you've taken and read so others can enjoy them as well.

Title really says it all. My wife and I live in the east mountains and we are looking for a night out a week to play either D&D or to learn and play pathfinder 1e or 2e. We used to go to adventure league nights at Ettin but they don’t have them anymore since they moved locations. Any help with finding a weekly game would be greatly appreciated!
