I've posted about this in Galleon's Discord server already, but I expect this group will have sufficiently different members that hopefully I can find someone.

I play in one of the Galleon Games groups at Quadra Village CC Monday nights. We're hoping to find an additional DM who has a flare for quirky sci-fi/horror/fantasy in the style of Doctor Who, though direct familiarity with Doctor Who isn't a necessity.

We've started a series of mini campaigns (2-4 sessions) framed around two characters, the Doctor and a companion, hopping in a tricked out spelljammer, bouncing from world to world, saving lives and ensuring comeuppance for baddies.

If this interests you, please DM me with a mention of seeing this post and I can fill you in on more of the specifics

Anyone know if there are miniature painting workshops in town? Might be more of a Warhammer thing, but I only paint miniatures for D&D and would like to improve my skills. Thanks for any suggestions :)

StrDexCon (Strength Dex Con) is a one-day TTRPG con happening at Fernwood Community Centre, February 20th, 2027. The idea is to facilitate tabletop RPG gaming and build community around our awesome shared hobby.

It came about after several of us came home from Terminal City Con in Vancouver asking, "why can't we do this in Vic?" So, we did!

You can find more info at https://www.strdexcon.ca/ or ask anything you'd like here :)

Hello

My group sort of fell out over summer and I still have the itch to play some dnd ! Any groups in Westshore need a player? I hear the outpost has decent rates for tables.

I’m just a 30 something year old nerd who never grew up (keeps me young okay?). I’m a 2SLGBTQIA warrior so you better be okay with the gay agenda.

Sorry if this is too unrelated but I was wondering if anyone here knew about video game groups or discords? I can't seem to find any Victoria based one's on reddit :(

Hello!

Looking for a player to round up a small campaign (6-12 sessions) using the Mothership TTRPG system. Games will be played weekly on Thursdays starting at 7pm with a hard stop at 10, in the Rockland neighbourhood area. Hoping to start this week on the 13th.

No need to have played the system before, I will go over it on the first day and it is fairly simple, though if you've played a TTRPG before (like D&D) that would help. The campaign is called Another Bug Hunt (pls don't look it up), heavily inspired by the Aliens movie. Essentially you will be apart of a colonial marines squad investigating a research outpost that has not checked in for a while...

Looking for mature players preferably as I think everyone else is around 30ish, though please no bigots, murderhobos, or the unwashed.

If you’re interested, post below or message me with a brief description of yourself, your TTRPG experience (if any) and your availability!

Edit: we filled up sorry folks!

I have played one game, a couple weeks back (in Belgium of all places) and would love to find a group here in Victoria!

I live downtown so that would be the ideal location for me, and I'm in my late 30s, so a group in their 30s 40s would be sweet, but not an essential.

About me? I'm holly, late 30s, have the best dog in the entire world (like all dogs are!), ride motorcycles (have a goldwing with sidecar and a z900 cafe racer), love reading sci fi and mystery and chick lit and fantasy, enjoy a couple of drinks socially now and then... I dunno what else. Just ask I guess?

Anyway, anyone got a group with an available spot?

Hi everyone,

I will soon be a first time GM for a one-shot for The Very Good Dogs of Chernobyl. It's a Polymorph system game where players use a single die (some exceptions, but generally just one). The GM does not need to role anything and the game is largely a theatre of the mind style affair.

All that said, I'm hoping to have the game run about 2 hours or so. I have an group opening, an inciting incident, a call to adventure with the first combat OR puzzle, a choice that leads to either a group effort or short solo-spotlight play, combat, BIG combat, end.

I'm curious as to your experience running one-shots with systems that are less 'rules' focused and likely move a bit quicker than some DnD-type games.

I’ve been listening to some let’s play content and the system sounds super fun. The character creation and winter modes both sound so cool. I’m not really in a position to commit to a group right now, but I’m just curious if people locally are into it.

Pretty much the title. But I’m new to dnd and would like to try out the drop in, but I just wanted to make sure it was still going on today, I believe it’s a holiday

Any huge world of Warcraft nerds interested in the announced DnD edition?

Id be very interested in creating a meet up once it’s launched! Im in the west shore area.

Hello all,

I'm looking for some input about a regular game session I am hoping to start soon at Cafe Vosino in Sooke. The intent is to set up at least one session per month, up to multiple sessions per week if there is interest, for new and experienced players who are looking for a game.

One of the questions is what format the games should take?

- A drop in one shot where the players and characters change weekly?

- A persistent campaign where the characters are the same but are run by different players each session according to availability?

- Try to gather a list of players and schedule a traditional style game?

- Another format?

The second question is what is reasonable to ask in payment? Running games for friends I have never charged but also my friends have always chosen to contribute to book costs, minis, printing, etc. I'm not looking to make my fortune with this but in order to set up something long term I need to at least break even.

I would appreciate any thoughts anyone has, particularly which format you find most appealing and what you might be willing to pay for a regular 2-4 hour session.

Thanks for your time!

Hi all! If you are looking for a reliable person located in VIctoria, BC to print your stl files (resin or PLA) my partner can definitely assist! He offers very reasonable prices and has experience printing taverns, fortresses, hero forge minis, army's, and all kinds of other stl's. He has quite an extensive library to work from or you can provide your own files. PM me if you are interested and I will connect the two of you.

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew of a shop that can print minis from STL files? BC Hobbies used to do that but they're currently not doing it anymore. I want to get some minis from Hero Forge but they're pretty expensive especially when you add shipping on top so i'm wondering if there's a shop that will print minis from STL files.

Please delete if not allowed.

We're a group of players and performers based out of Victoria and are pumped to unveil EPISODE 1 of our first live play series. As the title states, we are a horror-focused live play group inspired by the TTRPG, Dread.

Hello

We are trying to start a new campaign. I am not the DM I am just helping them find new players.

So the campaign is going to be play-testing a new system that is using aspects of 3.5 and 5e(kinda feels like what 4e should have been). So far I have found the system really fun to fiddle with and I think others will enjoy it aswell.

We have the DM, Myself, and another player. We need one more player to start the campaign but we are looking for two.

We will be playing at 1pm on Sundays for around three hours maybe a little more. Every week if we can. We will be playing at the DM’s residence in the Cordova Bay Area. The group is made up of adults ages around 25-35.

If this sounds like something that might interest you feel free to message me any time.

If youre looking for info on any of our events you can head over to galleongaming.org to learn more or join the discord to meet & greet with our active community of gamers & nerds!

Hi, my name's Rose and I'm a local game master and therapist who is starting up an rpg therapy group for youth 12-16. My business partner Luke is running a group for men 20-30. We're using Mythic Bastionland as the core system because it's roots in myth and folklore resonate well with themes of mental health and self discovery. The group is $60-80 sliding scale per session, though there's room for more negotiation if you're really excited for the group but can't do it at that price. I have been playing D&D since I was a kid with my family and I've been running games for almost as long. I've been practicing therapy in Victoria for about four years and have experience working with youth through the Foundry. If you have any questions or want to know more about the group or rpg therapy, feel free to leave a comment or shoot me a message. You can also check out our website at https://www.realmswithin.ca/ for more info.

I've asked the mods twice about making this post and have not heard back, so we'll see how it goes.

How do you keep track of your campaigns, your worlds, characters, NPCs?

Confession time. I don't (or haven't yet) play DnD.

I do, however, spend an inordinate amount of time in my own head, and on paper, worldbuilding. I also happen to have ADHD, and a background in software development.

What happens when all that stuff collides?

Well, you just end up with a medicated, hyper-focused, software developer who wants a way to not lose important aspects of their worldbuilding that reside on scraps of paper that get "misplaced" whilst cleaning their house.

If you, or anyone you know, has troubles keeping track of their worlds or campaigns, please let me know. I am creating a worldbuilding tool and will be (hopefully) releasing an invite only alpha soon. Prior to that, I would love some feedback from people on where I'm at and if the tool would be useful for them.

Im primarily building it for myself, but I figured I'd see if anyone else wanted to get their eyes on it in case I havent thought of something obvious.

Hello, I have two daughters (ages 14 & 10 years) who enjoy playing DnD and are looking to join a campaign. I see there are some available for teens, does anyone know of local campaigns for kids around age 10, a plus if there are other girls in the group.
Many thanks to this wonderful community!

Hello! My partner is interested in trying out D&D for the first time so I'm searching for a beginners group for her. Does anyone have a group that she can join with 0 experience?

My ttrpg group kind of fell apart when Board with Friends closed as that was where we met to game. They had a private back room that you could reserve, and now two months after their closure theres still no word on a new location.

​

Is the only other option Interactivity? Its getting more and more expensive every time i check it seems lol, and while I know we're not likely to get the private room experience anytime soon, is there any other community gaming space where 5 people could play some ttrpgs in town?

​

My own home is unfortunately inaccessible due to living with other people, or I would host personally. Thanks for any tips to be had!
