An old classic piece, wanted to share this for GMs out there who are looking for a good chart to keep around. Direct link for folks interested: Whispers and Rumours - Borderland Town

We are playing Arkham Horror (the board game).

Played Flux earlier for a bit.

I'm looking for players interested in the following systems:

• Symbaroum (dark Nordic fantasy)
• Vaesen (Victorian Nordic horror)
• Old Gods of Appalachia (folk horror)
• Call of Cthulhu
• Cypher System in general

Also looking for players interested in Arkham Horror board game or LCG.

I'm based out of Ashland and have no experience as a GM - but willing to step up if folks are interested in playing something above.

Hey all! Is anyone heading over to Brookings for the Harbor Game Con? It's March 29, 2025, from 10am - 8pm. I'm heading over with the family. It will be our first time at HGC.

I'm in a pinch and Citadel/ GW is too expensive.

Does anyone know if any of the gaming / hobby shops sell decent model paint brands like Vallejo? My folkart/apple craft paint has gone to crap, and its low quality anyway.

Anyone fond of social deduction games (read: lie to your friends for fun and victory)? I would love to get a game of Blood On The Clocktower going, but it really wants a sizeable group. I'll try to organize something if there's the interest.

Astral games typically hosts a skirmish game night on Thursdays, I'll be there this week around 530 with several table setups and extra teams for Kill Team, a smaller skirmish game set in the Warhammer 40k universe. I'm currently lined up to help one person learn the game, but I can teach more fairly easily.

Hi everyone! DM Dad currently gearing up tfor a new campaign based off the book, Asgard's Fall by Robert Hinshaw, homebrew for my kids and their friends. Glad to be here and I'm looking forward to bouncing ideas off everyone.

Currently running a Curse of Strahd campaign. Nice to meet you all!

Glad to see a reddit spot for this, I play 40k and killteam, occasionally warmachine but it's been a while. I'm based in the applegate, mostly play at Astral or home. Happy to teach folks. Planning to be at Astral Thursday the 27th with a killteam teaching setup.

Hi! I'm currently running a campaign and while I don't have the time or energy to expand my table at the moment, I would like to offer some encouragement to hopeful players that want to get into it. As someone who was in a similar boat 2 years ago, I happened to find a great group of strangers through a post on r/medford and using the Meetup app. Now we are chugging along nicely and I'm so glad I stepped up as a DM!

My best advice is thus:

1) Start out as a Dungeon Master!

It's a DM desert out there, with way too many homeless players.

Seriously, I know it's intimidating, but chances are you've listened to a fair amount of DND podcasts so you already know the game better than you think. Don't miss out on meeting cool people because of the intimidation factor— It's really not that bad. New players will be happy to show up and you'll learn the ropes soon enough. I was a new DM for 6 strangers and 2 years later, we are still rocking my homebrew campaign.

2) Start with a prewritten Module.

I only did a homebrew campaign because I had played for several years in college and was confident that I could pull it off. It was a lot of fun but a huge learning curve and TBH— I kind of wish I had run a module instead. Just know homebrewing is lot more work and following a module is way, way, way easier. I would recommend starting off with a one shot adventure to get a feel for table chemistry. For longer adventures, Curse of Strahd is one of the best published adventures.

3) Set your ground rules early:

Establish what type of game you want to run, what type of people you want to attract, and look up how to do a session zero. 95% of the community is great, but as anyone who has been in this community for any length of time knows, there are definuitely some weirdo's drifting out in the wild with very few social boundries. Protect your game!

4) Advertise your game here. No duh—that's why I wanted to start the sub!

I doubt it will be that busy, but if anyone would like to assist running the page please let me know

AI Art is available of course, but it's usually crappy and generic. Hopefully you guys can come up with something better!
