What we’re about
Welcome to the Santa Cruz RPG Meetup! We're growing the Tabletop Roleplaying Game (TTRPG) community across Santa Cruz County. We're open to gamers of all experience ranges. Whether you're new to TTRPGs or have been playing for decades, if you're a TTRPG enthusiast in Santa Cruz County you are welcome here.
Members of this group run and play Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder, of course, but many other TTRPGs as well — from small press indie games to a wide variety of other systems and settings — our interests vary widely.
To find even more TTRPG action than what is listed here, check out the TTRPG of Santa Cruz Discord server. It's the online hub for all things TTRPG in Santa Cruz. Here you'll find the latest news and over 300 fellow local gamers: https://discord.gg/B8eY4fZ42W.

We meet at the central library downtown Santa Cruz, in the upstairs community room. First come, first serve so please be on time!
(*) You're welcome to bring your own D&D character, keeping these guidelines in mind: We generally use the 2024 ruleset, though a 2014 version is acceptable. No homebrew, and please use the standard array.
