Association of Role Players

About us: 

The Western Association of Role Players is a vibrant community with a goal of encouraging the enjoyment of tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs). We have a wide variety of events to help folks find games to join, to learn more about TTRPGs, and to foster community. Our year starts with Introcon, in which GM’s will pitch their games, and you get to chat with them and pick a game you’d like to join. Or you can be the one to pitch your game and gather players! After that, we host a number of one-shot conventions, where we gather to play themed one-shots that our members have put together, as well as workshops, and other miscellaneous conventions. In December, we’re holding a chill hangout night to watch movies, play board games, paint, and vibe. And in February, we’re hosting a marketplace for all our creatives to sell their work, workshops, or commissions! And let’s not forget the WARPshops! Join us every other week for an evening workshop where we discuss various aspects of TTRPGs to improve our storytelling skills. So join us! Whether you’re a Table Top veteran or completely new to the hobby, we’re the perfect club to get you going. We look forward to rolling some dice with you this year, gamers!
