We noticed the original moderator for this sub abandoned ship about 2 years ago according to his post and after trying to contact him or anybody to assume his role, we created a replacement.

With hopes of seeing this community grow, we are starting to promote all types of events relating to PC games, new gen and retro consoles, board games, card games, etc. from our Geek Lounge in Denton.

We hope to help the community grow strong by using this new subreddit as a go-to for all sorts of events, gatherings and parties.

Please help us out by posting events you know of that others would be interested in. We are working on setting up events of our own and have a couple posted already.

Shakespeare Dallas is putting on a contemporary version of Macbeth this fall - and it is set in the gaming industry! While keeping true to Shakespeare’s original bloody script, this classic tale of power, ambition, and tragic downfall moves to alternative near future Silicon Valley where tech companies bid for ultimate control in a dynamic and changing gaming industry.  Following a prophecy from three witches that he will be king, Macbeth—at the urging of his wife—plots King Duncan’s murder to secure the throne. Guilt and paranoia poison Macbeth and his wife and spirals them into their tragic demise. This looks like fun: https://www.shakespearedallas.org/49th-season/

Hello my fellow Gamers

I am KingClong from Controllers and Keyboards. We are DFW based event and content creators. We are currently doing everything to expand out outreach to bring bigger better Podcasts, Streams, and Videos for your enjoyment. Most of all we are gearing up for Events!

We recently hosted the Pint and Play event and are looking to do a lot more like it in the future with the help of some our Friends like Dallas game night and The Inner Gamer Podcast.

Our goal with our content and our events is to bring a positive environments for people to get back to what we like to think of as the roots of gaming! And that is the social aspect from before online gaming. We want to bring you event and content that put couch co-op and LAN events back in the spot light. We want to get gamers together to enjoy games like back the old days. All the while still enjoying all the new tech and online services.

So does this sound like something you can support? Help us by following us on all our platforms to stay connected to all new content and future events. You can find links to all the outlets at:

Game on Friends!

I have a board game group in Dallas, but I’m wanting to leave it for personal reasons.

I am looking for a new group that meets weekly! If y’all have one let me know!

Moved to Dallas little less than half a year ago, just wanting to find some people who are into games as much as I am...which is hard since I play pretty much anything and everything.

Just wanting to find some people who want to hang out play/stream/record some gameplay.

Hit me up on PSN: frankfurtter and send me a message that you found this on Reddit.

This Sunday I plan to have a meeting to start a new roleplaying group. Last time I put out a call for players I got a lot of interest but in the end only one serious inquiry. Now the two of us are trying again.

Sunday, 2pm, at my apartment (near Love Field).

We're looking to play fantasy based games like D&D (3.5 or 4e) and Pathfinder. However, all genres of RPG are welcome.

Send me a PM if you're interested.

Myself and two friends are in search of more members for a new campaign. The DM role filled. We are looking to have a group of 5-7 members. This group is aimed to be offline, but we are willing to make certain situations work if need be. We know there have to be many others eager to start a new campaign in this area, so let us know if you’re one of them! Help us start a new adventure!
