The Greater Washington, D.C. RPG Meetup Group

Looking to join a game? Want to start a game? Just want to talk about games or reminisce about old characters? Then this is the Meetup group for you!!

We try our best to be all things for all interested people from across the NoVa, DC, and Maryland area. We have a monthly gaming event called the RPGala that consists of 8-10 games at each event. Some are campaigns, some are one-shots. There is almost always a D&D game or two and the rest a variety of games, basically anything that is out there that someone wants to GM. We are always welcoming new players and especially new GMs. If there is a particular game you would like to see at an RPGala, let us know! If you are an organizer of another area Meetup, let us know how we can help out and work together.

Some of the games our members are interested in include(but are not limited to): Dungeons and Dragons, Vampire, Spirit of the Century, Capes, Indie Games, Mechwarrior, Shadowrun, Call of Cthulhu, Elric, Rifts, Manhunter, Heroes Unlimited, Champions, A Game of Thrones, Harn, Star Wars, Robotech, BESM, Savage Worlds, Hackmaster, Ars Magica, Exalted, Battlestar Galactica, Delta Green, Rolemaster, GURPS, and Wild Talents.
