I run a local RPG meetup group. Every Thursday we run a one-shot RPG game. Very often, it’s a game none of us have ever played before. The idea being that we can try all sorts of different RPGs, experience different styles and genres, and I no longer feel like I’ve wasted money buying all these games.
Since 2020, they’ve mostly all been virtual games over Discord. I’m hoping to start up some face-to-face games this year. I GM most of these, but we’ve had several guest GMs. So if you’re a NYC Metro area GM, and want to run something, feel free to reach out.
