Find D&D and tabletop RPG groups in Denver

Hi all,  First off, this would be entirely free.  I’ve run various systems over the years and I have a growing collection of Indie TTRPGs (and adventures) I’m interested in running, like Mothership, Mausritter, Pirate Borg, Old-school Essentials, and more. I'm looking for a consistent group to give them a shot and maybe start a campaign. I’m a father, so my time is limited to every other weekend.

[Aurora/East Denver] Experience: Total beginners are absolutely welcome! I am happy to teach the rules. I am looking to start a brand-new, weekly or bi-weekly Old School Essentials (OSE) campaign and I need 3 players to help me build an all-PoC founding group from the ground up! What is OSE? It’s a "classic fantasy" system based on the original 1980s B/X rules. It’s fast-paced, high-stakes, and focused on exploration and clever problem-solving rather than just complex math. Who am I looking for? Demographic: Specifically looking for PoC players to create a dedicated safe-space tabletop environment. The Vibe: Creative, inclusive, and atmospheric dungeon crawling.  The Logistics: Location: Public meetups at shops like Crit Castle Games or All C's Gaming Arena in Aurora. Schedule: To be finalized by the group (aiming for weekend afternoons or weekday evenings). Safety: We will use a robust Safety & Consent policy (Lines/Veils and/or Monte Cook Consent Form) to ensure everyone has a great time.  Interested? Drop a comment below or send me a DM with a little bit about your TTRPG experience (or lack thereof—it's okay!) and what kind of characters you like to play.

The parchment is pinned to the tavern's bounty board with a rusted dagger. It reads: “WANTED: Brave souls to venture into the unknown. Gold and glory await those with the grit to survive. Meet at the hearth if you dare to test your steel...'" Hi Denver! I’ve been a Highlands (NW Denver) resident for over 20 years and I’m looking to find a few fellow adventurers (parent/kid combos) to join my 12-year-old son and me for a bi-weekly D&D quest. The Quest We will be starting with new Level 1 characters with the intent to take them all the way through advanced levels. We’ll be running Tales from the Yawning Portal: essentially the "Greatest Hits" of D&D history. The Table Rules: Support for Beginners: If you've never played, don’t worry. We just ask that the kids can handle basic math, some writing, and most importantly, take the gameplay seriously.  The "Vibe": Expect classic D&D action: visceral combat (think: "The blade slices through the creature's neck..."), story narrative and a "PG-13" atmosphere. In our household, we allow the occasional "shit," but no F-bombs. Obviously, we will modulate as the new group gels. I'm pretty relaxed about stuff, but do want to set the stage. I’ll be the DM I am an experienced DM, but it’s been 30 years since I've done it and the game has changed, so I’ll be learning a bit. For me, it’s about the fun rather than precision (no rule nazis, please), but I do like to lean on dice so that I’m not a dictator for ever decision. Also, I’m not against killing off characters. (It’s not fun, if there is no risk.) If that happens, you’ll start with a new one. I’m also going to experiment with adding AI and multimedia to the game play. Logistics: Schedule: Thinking alternating Sundays (4–8 PM) or Fridays (5–9 PM). The "Life Happens" Rule: If you can’t make it, someone will pilot your character so the party stays whole. We also may have to reschedule/cancel sometimes due to my work travel schedule. Hosting: I’ll host at my home in the Highlands, but our first meeting when we make characters could be at a public location. I’ll provide a healthy dinner initially (I can handle special diets), then I’ll ask the players to help once we’ve gotten into a routine. If you’re ready to answer the call, we would love to know about you and why you want to play. (And by “we”, I mean my terribly decerning son. I’ll let any dreg in.)
