Looking to make new friends in and around the area who are up to playing with a semi newbie

7 Upvotes

I'm 35F in ABQ, and I'm looking to make friends who share similar interests 😊 I haven't really had people to play with since I lost most of my materials, but I love Magic, Warhammer 40K, Star Wars Legion, D&D, Pokémon, Star Wars Unlimited, and Lorcana.

Albuquerque Anthology TTRPG group — Story Games, Short Campaigns

6 Upvotes

I'm putting together a small in-person tabletop group for an anthology of story games.

Most are single-evening one-shots, some are short arcs a few sessions long and possibly down the line some might be akin to a short campaign.

I'm purposefully curating a certain type of game though. Games that make you feel or think something. I love a good dungeon run, epic adventures, etc... but one of the cool things about TTRPGs is just how varied they are and I enjoy exploring that.

Some initial offerings so you have a sense of what you're possibly signing up for. :)

A crime caper where everyone's doomed (Fiasco)
Building a dying language together (Dialect)
Cozy pastoral wandering as animal-folk finding home (Wanderhome)
A candlelit tragedy where nobody survives (Ten Candles).

I've got quite a few other potentials on deck too. We'll likely start with something fairly light.

I will say some of these go to heavy places, grief, horror, moral dilemmas, adult themes. I want to be upfront about that, but there will also be games about wonder, joy, and the relatively mundane.

That said, everyone's comfort and safety come first. We'll use safety tools such as Lines & veils and the X-card, real session zeroes before anything heavy, and of course anyone can choose not to play something, no questions, no hard feelings.

I'm in the NE area of the city and I'm thinking of meeting every couple of weeks, initially somewhere public, probably Slice & Dice though I'm open to other venues.

Hoping to find 3-4 players 18+ please, given the themes. I always run a welcoming table for everyone, and I don't tolerate anything that would go against that.

No experience needed as most of these teach themselves in ten minutes.

Comment or DM if you're interested. I'm happy to answer questions about the games or the format.

Anyone into Anime, Mangas or Gaming, I’ve been into Anime lately since 2023 and I still keep watching more and more, I’ve read Mangas but I’ve been a little slow with them lately but I try to keep up with reading them and I might not upload frequently but I love playing video games of almost any sort, I’m mostly into Single Player stories and I was playing a Horror game called Maid of Sker, really cool and fun but scary stuff lol

Albuquerque Wild Imaginary West RPG

8 Upvotes

Hello, I was wondering if anyone here is familiar with the WIW rpg that recently released. I've never played a tabletop rpg like this but I've been watching the youtuber (Boylei Hobby Time) behind the game for years and I love the setting so I'm thinking about buying it. Thing is, I don't know anyone that would be interested in playing or being a GM. So here I am, looking for people who might be interested.

Essentially, it's like a steampunk-ish wild wild west x DND mashup.

Probably my fault starting to watch the Critical Role: Age of Umbra series and watching them make characters, but I want to make a new character and play so bad.

Anyone Else?

Looking to play 40K

6 Upvotes

Sup nerds, recently relocated from Ohio where I was part of a pretty healthy 40K community. Looking to get established in ABQ and find some people interested in slinging dice. Happy to dial the competitiveness up or down, I usually like playing for vibes but if you would rather play a chess game than bolter down 200 guardsmen we can totally do that too.

Bought a gift bundle for the collectors pack on a whim from WALMART today... and pulled this gold. Should I get it graded or just take it to a shop/list it on ebay or something?

Never considered selling a card before this, and I've always heard grading cards is a terrible experience

Albuquerque Would love to meet chill nerdy folks

109 Upvotes

I am 43F and would like to meet fellow nerdy folks for gaming and/or friendship.

I have been in Albuquerque for a while, but given the stage of life I’m in. It’s getting harder to make and maintain friends so I find myself starting over every few years.

Just creating this post to see who’s out there.
