This is a group for anyone (18+) who wants to casually play tabletop, card, and party games. Also, have an exclusive Happy Hour for our gaming group.
Pop-Up! Events | Always TBA and at unannounced locations
These events take place at private residences (house parties, arts & crafts, etc.). You must have participated in a previous meetup in order to RSVP. They are typically 21+ only events. No non-member guests allowed. The location is DM'ed to those who RSVP
PATH TO ORGANIZER
Any member can elevate themselves to organizer. Want to start a new club or host a one-time event? Fantastic! The path to gain organizer status is as follows, DM Michael M. or Alicia A. the following information: Event Title, Date, Time, and Description. Once approved, one of us will give you the ability to create the event on Meetup themselves and any other future events.
LEGALITIES
We will be taking photos and videos during events to update our Facebook and Meetup gallery.
If drinking, be responsible and have a safe plan to get home. Drunk drivers will be banned and law enforcement will be called. If someone says you're not good to drive you will listen to them and either:
1. Wait it out, 2. Get an Uber, 3. Get a ride from someone you trust.
Weapons and illegal substances are not permitted in our events.
CONDUCT
Everyone must follow the rules of the venues.
Our events are for socializing and not for dating. No creeps or "pick up artists". Matching organically is ok, but all interactions must be reciprocal, wanted, and appropriate.
Besides staff, only direct message (DM) members if their profile says they're "Open" to DM's or you've agreed in-person. We do not tolerate "casting the net" of dating or services in DM's. If you get a DM that's inappropriate, please report it to the staff.
Anyone who acts inappropriately will be given a one time warning or banning pending on severity.
If an issue comes up, please talk to the event host immediately so they can address the issue.
