What we’re about
Welcome to Westside Tabletop Adventure Games, your gateway to thrilling and imaginative escapades in the vibrant West side of Los Angeles and surrounding areas! Our Meetup Group is a place to discuss and play exciting tabletop adventure games together.
We use "tabletop adventure games" to include various games and communities - roleplaying games, miniature games, board games, old-school, new-school, and many other sources. Such games blend authentic peril, inventive problem-solving, and episodic narratives. In such games, you can expect to encounter the following:
- Genuine risks and the possibility of loss, making your victories even more gratifying.
- A sense of wonder, with the promise of unexpected twists, enigmatic riddles, and breathtaking locales.
- Diverse and compelling experiences, as each session unfolds like an ever-evolving classic pulp tale.
- Challenges that require ingenuity, creativity, and teamwork rather than brute force, endless combat, or solving problems by enumerating abilities from a character sheet.
- Iconic and diverse characters inspired by pop culture and fiction, such as Conan, T'Challa, Ellen Ripley, Lagertha, Indiana Jones, and Nausicaä, to name a few.
- A strong, independent Do-It-Yourself attitude - empowering players and referees to make the games they play their own and even to write their own games whole cloth.
Our mission is to create a welcoming, inclusive, and unpretentious gaming community that values fun and camaraderie. We believe in fostering an environment where everyone, regardless of background or experience level, can gather around the table, unleash their imagination, and embark on unforgettable journeys.
Join Westside Tabletop Adventure Games today and become a part of our growing community of explorers, heroes, and adventurers!
Members are welcome to and encouraged to co-host and suggest new meetups for the group!

NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT AN EVENT
The Skies Shall Sunder events are coordinated via our Discord server, you will not be able to sign up to these events here, but must do so on Discord.Skies Shall Sunder
Skies Shall Sunder is an old-school, medieval-fantasy tabletop adventure ran in the West Marches style here on the West Side of Los Angeles.What is a West Marches?
A West Marches is a style of campaign where the Referee (what we call the Dungeon Master or Game Master) doesn't book gaming sessions, rather they provide players with their schedule for the upcoming weeks, and players instead chat with each other, decide on goals, and then they use the Referee's calendar to book game nights.We will be using discord to coordinate these games (this event will be mirrored there), so it is important that you are comfortable using Discord, and that you go join our server over here.
A West Marches is also an open table, meaning you are free to only play sessions that you can make it to with no commitment to play in any others! It's a great way to get games in when you like!
Are Beginners Welcome?
Absolutely! No experience is necessary. We will be using a version of old-school D&D, and honestly the game is perfectly playable without knowing very many of the rules. We will coordinate making you a character (or two) before the session begins, if you do not have one already.What Do I Need?
Nothing! Everything will be provide (unless you took your character sheets home, then you'll need that)..Any Questions?
Feel free to ask here or on the discord!
