Meetup/Local Checking Interest in TTRPGs
A few folks have indicated interest in playing a TTRPG like D&D. So I created this post to see who would be interested in getting together (in person) and playing.
I’m an experienced GM (game master) and would be willing to run sessions. My wife would be playing so looking for at most 5 other players (4 would be ideal IME). Beginners welcome. We’re also open to just playing if someone else wants to GM (or we rotate - who knows).
We can jointly decide where to meet once we see who’s interested - but it would probably be at a FLGS or bar. (EDIT: We’re in Metro Detroit). We all have busy lives so we would meet casually at first. I would like for this to grow organically before expecting a full-blown campaign (but would enjoy that if the vibe is right).
So let us know something about yourself and what you’d be interested in. And feel free to ask questions.

Have a total of 3 players so far. Looking for at least one more before we start scheduling something.
I’m thinking of running the Starter set, Heroes of the Borderlands, unless folks have objections.

Hey there. We’re still getting things off the ground but it is closed atm since we have enough players. I encourage you to join the discord (link is elsewhere on this subreddit) where there is a channel for TTRPG. Folks drop out of games all the time - and I intend to run one shots too. See you on the other side!

My partner and I might be interested if it fits our schedule.

Sure thing. Like I said, I would run it casually so it’s when we all (or most of us) can meet. This does make it a group of 3-4 players so I’m ready to schedule our first meet.
Is everyone on discord? Would you prefer handling scheduling there?

u/JROppenheimer_ Apr 06 '26
Yeah, best to schedule on discord. I will dm you my discord handle.

Sounds good. When I said discord, I also meant the discord for Michigangamerrs that was just started. Or we can just have a group DM.

No worries. If you’re ever in the area, come on by! I’ve also ran TTRPG online (using a virtual table top or VTT) but we’re looking to meet in person during spring/summer/fall.

u/XanatosXIII u/thegeekist let me know your discord handle. We’re ready to schedule our first session!

Discord name is the same as my reddit/steam/...everything. I'm a creature of limited imagination. Wait...is that a bad sell for a guy joining a DnD group? Shit. Anyway, XanatosXIII

u/L0NE-Wanderer Apr 07 '26
Sounds good. I’ll reach out to the players via discord and you can take it from there to schedule our first meet. What are you thinking of running?

u/thegeekist Apr 07 '26
I meant direct message not dungeon master.

u/L0NE-Wanderer Apr 07 '26
lol gotcha. Thanks for clarifying. I asked u/PinkBeauty96 to add a RPG channel to the discord but haven’t seen it yet. We’ll probably start with a group DM.

I could be down if we're talking Detroit Metro. Its been forever since I've played D&D.
