D&D games near me

Every edition of Dungeons & Dragons in one place, sorted by how far you would have to travel. The 5E filter covers both the 2014 rules and the 2024 revision (5.5E), because most tables treat them as the same game. If you want an older edition, the filters below will find the people still running them.

Hey! I'm Tomb, a (technically) 6 year DND player (on and off and with a lot of "rule of cool" tables so not a veteran) looking for a game for Sunday Nights usually starting around 8 EST (though my schedule will probably open soon!) Im a storyteller at heart, with a big focus on worldbuilding, lore, and character driven narratives. I like getting into the depths of the worlds history and seeing what makes it tick while playing with harsh backstories that loom like shadows over the players, but I tend to shy away from GrimDark, I like some hope with my whump please! None of that means I don't like combat though, combat plays a really important part in a lot of stories and can be interesting in their own right! I do know a lot of the rules for DND 5e, I've been watching actual plays long enough to have picked up on the rules, but I prefer Homebrew over RAW and Rule of Cool over Rules Lawyering I'm a huge fan of actual plays, namely Campaign 2 of critical role, Dimension 20s Misfits and Magic, A Court of Fey and Flowers, and The Seven, a small one shot campaign called World's Apart, and the beginning half of Godsfall (before the cast imploded) Literature wise I'm an avid reader of high fantasy, Eragon being my favorite series, along with Harry Potter (fuck terfs), and a niche Midgrade series called Avalon: Web of Magic! TL;DR in the DMs Guide Player Types: Im an Explorer, a Problem Solver, and a Storyteller, but I'm more than willing to hit something along the way, i prefer Homebrew and Rule of Cool over RAW, and i want some found family/hope with my hard story beats! I hope to tell amazing stories together 💛

Fight Night at the We-Won't-Rob-You

West Marches / Living World
One world and a big pool of players, but no fixed party - whoever signs up that week is who plays.
Do you like combat? Boss fights? Teamwork? Character builds? Ever done raiding in an MMO and thought, "I like this, but I wish it were instead a series of bespoke D&D encounters"? If you answered yes, then you might enjoy Fight Night at the We-Won't-Rob-You! What Is Fight Night? Think of it like a cross between a board game night and MMO progression raiding. A series of challenging encounters, one for each level. Reset and die without consequence. Beat the fight, get loot, level up, challenge the next one! Refit your character build between attempts, and build a strategy to conquer the boss! Create multiple characters to maximize your flexibility. Re-run defeated fights with additional difficulty modifiers. Challenge a gauntlet of every fight in a row and prove your mastery! Sessions are scheduled ad-hoc; a bot pings the discord each day asking for signups. If enough people are in, we run an attempt that night! What Fight Night Is NOT Outside of a vague framing device, there isn't really any story or roleplay to Fight Night; we're using roleplaying game rules to run a tactics game. Your character sheet is functionally just a statblock. Before You Apply Does that all strike your fancy? Great! First though, let us temper your enthusiasm. First, note that this is being run with D&D 4E. Not everybody's cup of tea, we know. Don't worry if you lack 4e experience; that was the case for the majority of us, and we're happy to teach you. That said, do be aware that you'd be entering the game partway through its run (Level 7) and so you'll need to be prepared for a lot of front-loaded information and complexity. Second, please don't apply if you're racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. We have players across a spectrum of race, ethnicity, gender expression, and sexuality. If that's going to be a problem for you, even a little bit, you're best off scrolling on. I promise you that you won't get along with us, we won't get along with you, and it'll be a miserable time for everyone. Lastly, you'll have to bear with the fact that we're a bit protective over our little group, and so we're going to exercise some pickiness when it comes to new additions. We can't promise to invite everyone who expresses interest. Sorry. If that all works for you, then feel free to reach out. You can DM me here, or on discord (username Sethenn). Come join the fight!

Heroes of the Freelands

Homebrew
House rules, a custom setting, or a system the Game Master wrote themselves.
Combat focused
Fights, tactics and initiative take up most of the table time.
Time: We will be playing from 6pm - 9pm (CDT) on Wednesday. Party Size:3-5 Game System: Microlite 4e, A stripped down hack of DND 4e that I wanted to use because it allowed for the use of either official class features and powers or custom made features and powers. Giving players a lot of customization and allows them to create the character of their dreams. Played on: Owlbear Rodeo with Discord for voice About Me: I am a GM of 4 years, mainly running 5e. I am a huge fan of players having the ability to play the character of their dreams. I run high fantasy epic campaigns. I’m also a huge fan of tactical epic combats. I’ve ran a mini 4e adventure for my main group a while back so I am familiar with the basics of 4e and am willing to teach any new people. Campaign Summary: Three larger than life personalities are at war. The General, Xanadonios of the Nikmaa Empire The Sorcerer, Zilik of the Ruby Tower And The Rogue Prince, Hubalt, Ruler of the seas. And they are fighting for control of the freelands. That is where the heroes come in, they come from the freelands and they have a choice of whether they want to support one of these factions or reject them and cement the freedom of their homeland!(This campaign was slightly inspired by Final Fantasy 6) Anybody interested please message me and we’ll do a little interview! And as always Adventure Well!

The best of 4e dnd

Roleplay focused
Conversation, character and story take up most of the table time.
No paid games
On a player profile - you are looking for free games and are not interested in paid ones.
Im doing a best of 4e style Campaign. Currently level 8. Just looking fir a few players to make up for a few that left.  We are roleplayers not rollplayers, unfortunately the discord as great as the people there are, are mostly rollplayer combat people.  So recruiting from  there hasn't worked.  Working on owlbear rodeo, but its mostly digital maps/theature of the mind, im not that tech savy.  The game here will be set to needing 3, but its ongoing, almost  every other thursday 7pm est. Most of my players are part time and im trying to get a solid foundation.

Late-Night 4e Campaign

Hello,  I'm looking for some people to play with after I get home from work during the week. Monday-Friday, I work from 3:30 p.m. until 1:30 a.m. CST the next day. That has me getting home from work at 2:00 a.m. Tuesday - Saturday. So, I'm looking for people who are up late and looking for a chance to game together. Ideally this would be hosted on Foundry VTT, since I have a server for it already and can keep it updated and good to go. I would prefer not to DM again, so I'm hoping someone on this fucked schedule with me might be willing to, but if not, the backup plan would be to run through all of the Dungeon Crawl one shots with a rotating DM each time. Besides that, I personally don't care too much about strictly rules as written, I enjoy setting aside rules for the sake of cool factor and fun. Homebrew races and stuff are always interesting and would hopefully be allowed by the DM(s) based on what we're doing. If you are interested, please reach out with which nights you're available and if you're interested as a player or a DM. I'm putting together a list from a few posts and trying to see who all could play!

How to find a D&D game near you

D&D is the game most people mean when they say tabletop RPG - one player runs the world, everyone else plays a character in it. You do not need to own a book, and you do not need to know the rules before you sit down.

  1. Set the area. Press "Use my location" for an exact reading, or type your city. Everything on this page reorders by travel distance.
  2. Widen the circle before you give up. Most people find their table in the nearest city rather than their own street, so try 150 mi before deciding the area is empty.
  3. Read the listing, then message inside Groupfinder. Your contact details stay yours until you decide to share them.
  4. Post that you are looking. Half the matches on this site run the other way round, with the game master finding the player.

Questions people ask

How do I find a D&D group near me?

Let this page read your rough location, or type a city into the location box. It then lists every open D&D table sorted by distance, closest first. Widen the radius if your town is quiet - most people find a game in the nearest city rather than their own street.

Which D&D editions can I filter for?

5E (which includes the 2024 rules, sometimes called 5.5E), 4E, 3.5E, AD&D 2nd Edition and original AD&D. The page shows all of them together by default, so you can see the whole local scene before narrowing down.

What if there are no D&D games in my area?

Then post that you are looking. A player profile takes a couple of minutes and it puts you in front of every Dungeon Master searching your area. In the meantime, the online section further down this page is open to everyone.

Do I need to know the rules before joining?

No. Plenty of the groups listed here say outright that they welcome beginners, and most Dungeon Masters would rather teach you than hand you a 300 page book. The rules get learned by playing them.
