Indie RPG Game Night (Geeky Teas)

Come join our Indie RPG Night where we play story games and independent role-playing games (RPGs).

Everyone of any experience level is welcome, with no prior knowledge required. Almost all games are one-shots or episodic, so no regular attendance is necessary.

Some games such as Apocalypse World and Blades in the Dark have a game master and players, in a way similar to Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) and traditional RPGs. Some games are “GM-less” and have no game master, instead using shared narrative authority, such as Microscope, Fiasco, and The Quiet Year.

Locations vary so check the meetup event for the current location. On this night we play at Geeky Teas & Games in Burbank. We plan to meet up starting at 6pm, and pitch games promptly at 6:30pm. The venue closes at 10pm. Games tend to normally last 2-4 hours. Note that Geeky Teas requires a $5 cover fee that you pay directly to them upon entry to the venue.

If you plan on attending, please RSVP. We have some tables reserved but may be limited in space, so consider it first come first serve if we end up having too many folks. We will try to accommodate everyone best as possible. If your plans change, please update your RSVP as early as possible so we have an accurate count.

We try to provide an inclusive space, and do not tolerate harassment or prejudice of any kind, including that based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, or disabilities. (If you have any issues, please contact one of the meetup organizers at any time, either during the meetup or afterwards.) We use the X-card and other RPG safety mechanics, and will discuss these just prior to the session. For details, please read our Community Standards document at https://bit.ly/StoryGamesLA-CommunityStandards.

If you plan on pitching or facilitating a game, try and bring the materials you need to play (rules, notecards, blank paper, tokens, and so on). We may have some of these items, but may not have everything you need.
