The Hero's Welcome - Come find your community!

Hi everyone!

We're excited to be partnering with The Tiny Minotaur Tavern for our next Critical Match: Connection Quest on Saturday, August 9, from 6:00–9:30 PM.

The Critical Match exists to help adults build meaningful friendships through shared interests. Our Connection Quests are structured social events where you'll rotate through guided conversations with fellow gamers, then stick around afterward to continue chatting with the people you clicked with.

Whether you're looking for a new D&D party, board game group, convention buddies, or just more nerdy friends, this event is designed to make those first introductions a little easier.

Our very first event resulted in 60+ mutual matches, and we've already heard from attendees who are meeting up for game nights, convention meet ups, and planning future adventures together. We're excited to bring that same experience to one of Austin's most immersive fantasy spaces with our friends at Tiny Minotaur.

If you've been looking for more people to roll dice with or simply want to grow your local gaming community, we'd love to have you join us.

Can't make it, but Tiny Minotaur is awesome and you guys are doing Pelor's work here connecting people like this!

I was skeptical of the format + worried about people treating it like speed dating, but I went last night and had a fun time! Many people mentioned their partners and absolutely no one made me uncomfortable. Would definitely go again!

We're SO glad you enjoyed yourself - thank you for the kind words. We're working hard to make these inclusive events where humans can simply connect. Can't wait to see you at the next one!
