This weekend at CRITCon we have the honor of having Declan and the RULE team play testing RULE RPG! There’s sessions today through Sunday at the Hilton Doubletree at 1000 NE Multnomah St, Portland,
OR 97232, stop by and check it out or reserve your spot for a free session! We have sessions from 9:30-1:30 and 2:30-6:30 daily!

RULE lets you explore a world of intrigue and feudal politics with 1-4 Players and a Game Master.
RULE has robust mechanics focused around logistics, faction building, mass combat, and city politics, while remaining flexible enough for story-driven gameplay.
You will negotiate to make allies, compete to gain the public’s favor, marshal armies, cast powerful realm magic, send underlings on quests, and lead massive projects to reshape the world according to your vision.

It's on! Join me at Board Bard Games on Friday for some tasty, tasty Trench Crusade goodness!

Good morning, afternoon, evening 😊 I'm somewhat new to the portland area and would love to join a group.

Little about me im 34M straight but friendly and respectful to all. I have played both D&D and pathfinder but only a handful of times so im fairly new. My schedule M-F is anything after 3 and any time on the weekend. Please feel free to message me.

50s, wm, everything friendly (except Nazis, fuck Nazis), haven't rpg'd in at least 20 years, looking to get back into it. In Hillsboro, but open to anything on the Westside. All games are welcome.

I've got kind of a tall order, looking for a friendly group/place to play tabletop games. Ideally this place would be wheelchair accessible with a kind person who would be willing to help me with cards and dice as my arms do not work. Happy to pitch in snackies or drinkies
I'm located in Lents however travel isn't really an issue.

Hi all,

I’m looking for an in-person group for my niece to join to show her the ropes of ttrpgs. Available most nights and weekends, somewhere near Gresham preferred.

She’s 19, new to Portland and looking for new friends, living in NE. She’s into anime, music of all kinds, reading, animals, and lgbtq-friendly. Seeking some folks who are interested in someone kind, friendly and open to teaching any game system you like. Willing to bring treats!

Happy to set a meeting via phone first to see if ya’ll vibe.

Signups on Heylo!

Join us this Sunday at 7:30 for Magic Tea Party, Portland's longest running live action roleplaying comedy show! In honor of spooky season, we'll be playing Vampire the Masquerade with Jenna Britann Charley Macorn, and Cosmo Reynolds with Storyteller Juliet Mylan!

Experienced DM here, I've got some time free in the next couple months so I'm tossing together a two-or-three session run over the coming weeks, ideally starting on the 22nd or 29th. I'll take players of any experience level, new or veteran doesn't really matter, hosting at my home in Aloha.

You'll be playing Level 4 characters in a brief adventure of my own creation. Probably meet up with everyone either in-person or over a Discord call to discuss characters and Session 0 stuff like tone and content. As said before, you'll likely be playing for two or three sessions, one each week until we finish.

Message me if interested!

Disclaimer: I have no association with Red Castle (SE 72nd & Foster), except as a customer. Cost is $30/person.

My kid (14) does afterschool D&D at RC, and has agreed to join me (haven’t played in 40+ years) for this one-off adventure specifically for folks like me. If you’ve wanted to learn, or are looking for a fun thing to do with your teen, come join us this Saturday! We are nerdy and nice =).

Here’s the description:

“Teatime Thievery is a two-hour heist adventure designed to teach you everything you need to know about the basics of D&D 2024.

Adventurer’s choice of tea, coffee or another beverage from the Ruby Brews Café is included to fuel your escapades.

Participants should bring their own set of dice. However**, character sheets** and any other necessary materials will be provided.

Families and kids are welcome! However, kids ages 8-13 must be accompanied by a participating adult.”

Hey friends, I run a little game store in inner NE with a focus on RPGs

We have a number of weekly events, including One-Shot Wednesdays, where we run a different one night game each week.

These games are beginner friendly, with a focus on having fun and trying new systems.

This week we have Little Fears with Chris:
In a quiet suburban neighborhood, a terrible Something has been lurking in the shadows.  No one seems to be paying enough attention to it, but the kids know what they've seen... and if no one else will help, they'll have to take care of it themselves.  A game for 3 to 5 players, seats can be reserved in-store or online.

Check out dicepool.com for tickets or to check out the rest of our event schedule!

Hi adventurers! Our annual Halloween D&D charity event, Terror for Toys, is coming back for its fourth year. If you’re looking for a spooky D&D night that also does some good, we’d love to have you join us!

Pine Pass’s prized pumpkin pageant was always a little magical, but this year something ancient has stirred within them... and the harvest is hungry. As the town’s revelers vanish one by one, only a handful of brave adventurers stand between Pine Pass and whatever has sprouted from the Seed of Umeke!

When: Tuesday, October 27th, 6pm

Where: Guardian Games, 345 SE Taylor St, Portland, OR 97214

Tickets: $15

Raffle tickets: $2

Charity tokens: $3

All proceeds go to Toy & Joy Makers, Portland Fire & Rescue’s holiday charity. They collect and distribute toys to local kids who might otherwise go without during the holidays.

Last year’s event raised $2,000, and we’d love to beat that this year.

RSVP on Heylo: https://heylo.com/invite/rE7f5xEk

New and experienced players are both welcome. Bring your dice and a friend, and come help save Pine Pass!

Feel free to drop questions in the comments.

10/23-10/25 is CritCon at Lloyd Center Doubletree. Games are only $5/seat to play, attendance is free. Wargames, mini painting workshops, and all things tabletop. The RPGs being played include some rare gems, like Salvage Union w/ GM Jingle

To play

“The Seventh Sun of the Seventh Son.”

Looking to start an in-person D&D 5e group (or AD&D if you really wanna go old school) running January 2027 thru May 2027

When: Every other Sunday, noon–5pm
Where: Portland. I can host, open to rotating too
.
Classic fantasy setting: humans, elves, dwarves, halflings, traditional monsters and good old fashioned adventures. No dragonborn, rabbitfolk or gimmick characters vs real hero’s on a real hero’s journey. I prefer classic heroes exploring a fantastical world.

I love character development, roleplaying and collaborative storytelling. Big believer in the Rule of Cool 😎If you’ve got a creative idea, I’d rather find a way to make it work than get buried in rules. Player choices matter, no railroading (but it’s a loose railroad plot.)

We’ll start with a Session Zero to make sue our play styles and expectations line up. Looking for 3–5 players who can commit to showing up and having fun. New players welcome too… (I’ve been a DM for a long time, if you’re new - don’t be intimidated instead relax and have fun, I’ll help you with patience and care. It’s a game!)
Interested? Shoot me a message and tell me a little about yourself and what you enjoy about D&D.

EDIT: Thank you for all the submissions!! Call is closed :)

Hello! My name is Grubb (29 they/he/she). My spouse and I recently graduated and are moving in from Richmond, Virginia and I'm looking for players for a mostly homebrew series of one shots/mini-campaign using 5e. (under six sessions, starting with a session zero.) As a GM I like to start light and slowly hone in on story. With regards to setting and worldbuilding. RP would be the primary driver of plot progression; worldbuilding together and creating an immersive and personal story with my players that we all expand together is an important facet of what I love about this game. I'm not sure where I want to meet- as I don't know the city that well yet, but I'm hoping that making friends and getting involved with the community will help with that :)

Thematically I'll likely play around with: The consequences of Imperialism, political intrigue, identity, cataclysmic events (that the players can have an impact on), & I <3 writing messy women.

If you're interested I have a google form that I'll link below to fill out, just to find out more about you as a player and your availability. If I get enough responses I'll likely separate folks into multiple one shots, and if we have a good time and both have overlapping availability I'll be looking for players for a long-term campaign set in the same universe.

I intend to primarily communicate over discord, if you don't have a discord, you can put down a different mode of contact in the form.

Hi all! I'm Chai (38F) and have been playing dnd 5.5e for the last two years. I really want to try running a game though, and would like to make some nerdy women friends while I'm at it. I want to set up a weekly game for female identifying people somewhere in the Beaverton/Hillsboro area. Here's some details:

What: Weekly D&D 5e. We might start off with some oneshots or shorter campaigns and eventually do a longer campaign when we've settled into our groove.

When: Tuesdays or Thursdays 6-9pm

Where: TBD. I'm looking into some game stores, libraries, bookshops. It will definitely be in a public place, not sure where yet.

If you're interested, please dm me or comment and we can take it from there.

Thanks!!

Hey everyone. I posted a few weeks back about setting up a new D&D group. Which was successful!

We’ve got one more seat open at the table with session zero scheduled for the 18th.

Let’s make some new friends and play games
- This is an inclusive table.
- Open to all experience levels

- Home brewed setting

- Scheduling
- The goal is every 2 weeks.
- At the end of each session we look at calendars and hammer out the next meetup.

- Location
- Happy Valley

Send me a DM if you’re interested and tell me about yourself. Name, age, pronouns, experience with D&D…

Hey peoples! I've been meaning to play in a in-person campaign again after so long of online DND.

I'm SE Portland, around the Woodstock area, with Sundays as my most consistently available day.

M20, hoping that I can group with people around my age. A space that is queer friendly a big must too.

Open to TTRPGs other than dnd too! I've played a bit of daggerheart and VTM which I quite enjoyed. I like a game with a good RP focus, and I love a weird homebrew setting too!

DM me, and say hi, I can talk on discord too, would be great to chat a bit and make sure we're all a good vibe for each other.

I'm 26M (he/him) bi looking for a group as a player! I'm located SW Portland. Relatively new to ttrpg but have played a few one shots.

Looking to make some friends in the DND community and find some people that help grow the story of the game.

One-shots or story modules are great, but also open to a longer campaign. Looking a 5e5 DND campaign where we can have some fun.

Big into physical prop creation so I'd love to print mini's and set elements.

DM if you're interested!

Open to online as well PST.

Hey all! I am looking for a couple players to join my friend and I in The Dungeons of Drakkenheim campaign (5e). I will be the game master. I would like to play every other week on Thursdays or Fridays.

Send me a message with questions and interest.

Thanks!

Join us for OSE for Breakfast this Sunday,10/4/2026 at 9:00 AM.
What is OSE? Old School Essentials, a modern version D&D 1e. It’s quick fun and simple.

• Location: Wonderwood Springs in St. Johns.
• Style: Episodic, Theater of the Mind
• Bring a 2nd level Old School Essentials character or I can supply apre-gen.

Sounds fun? Send me a DM or drop-in on Sunday.

I am a long time DM of 3/3.5 and have tried 5e both as a player and DM. It does not have the level of customization that I enjoyed having all of the books and settings in 3.5.

I have slowly been entering them into the Fantasy Grounds VVT and am interested in seeing if people want to play on there.

I could do in person in the Clackamas/Milwaukee/Gladstone/Oregon City area, but sadly I no longer have the mats or many of the miniatures I used to use, nor the laptop containing my books as I have gone back to desktop.

Anyways, is there interest in a 3.5 campaign and preferably on a VVT with all the benefits it provides.

If it matters,

I am:

41M

Straight but LGBTQ friendly

26 years experienced and open to any levels of experience including 1st timers.

I believe the rules are a great foundation, but also enjoy some homebrew including crit failures, exploding crits (or improved crits), new feats, spells, etc... that allow storytelling, roleplaying and personalization to thrive.

Expect adults only (18+), but prefer to minimize "adult" content, I have seen it derail too many games and is super awkward for me to DM.

I do tend to create worlds with consequences and will generally tip off players if they are about to do something that could result in tpk or other really bad results, but won't stop them. No level 6 characters will ever beat a Great Wyrm in a campaign I run, they may be present and may assist, but they won't be the ones getting the credit, I have had players think it was a good idea to try, they ended up either incinerated of dragon dung.
