Q: Do I need to know anything about Tabletop Role Playing Games (aka TTRPGs) to play?

A: Not at all! There are always at least a few tables that will be beginner-friendly!

 

Q: Do I need to make a reservation for a spot?

A: Nope! TTRPG night is drop-in based, with seating available on a first come first served basis. (Though once you've played a game or two with a particular GM we do let them save seats at their discretion for their regular players!)

 

Q: What games are being played?

A: Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition is our most popular game, but we also have a rotating roster of Game Master's who run a variety of other TTRPG systems! We post the weekly list of upcoming games on our Instagram (@theboardroomgc) and the Board Room Game Cafe Facebook page every Monday. Be sure to come prepared with a 2nd or 3rd choice, as tables can fill up! 

 

Q: Do I need to bring a character sheet?

A: That depends! If you know how to make a level 1 character, that’s always helpful - but if you don’t know how to make one, or want guidance - arrive early and our Game Masters (aka GMs) can often help walk you through it! We also have pre-generated characters available for some games.

 

Q: Do I need dice, books, or minis?

A: If you have some, bring them! If not, you can get your own in our retail section - or borrow some for your first time from a GM!

 

Q: How much does it cost?

A: Admission is our regular $10+tax, but you can also take advantage of our TTRPG Tuesday Special - spend $15 before tax on food or drink while playing an RPG on Tuesday to get half-price admission! ($5+tax)

 

Q: Is this suitable for kids?

A: Some of our GM's run games that are suitable for all ages, but not every game is right for youth 14 and under. If you're not certain, arrive early and be sure to ask the GM if their game is right for you and your young adventurer! Also - all players under 14 must be accompanied by a chaperone playing at the table alongside them.

 

Q: Can I run a game? How does that work?

A: All of our GMs are volunteers (with a few perks!) and we’re always interested in meeting new folks who want to run games! See below for how to reach out :)

 

Q: If I'm not looking to join a TTRPG, can I still come and play regular board games on a Tuesday night?
A: Absolutely! We've got lots of space, so even when we have TTRPG's happening, we have a whole other room for regular gaming! Book a table online HERE or give us a call at 902-423-7545 to guarantee a spot to play any of our 600+ games!
