Anyone into DnD (Dungeons and Dragons), or know where I can get supplies?

Submitted by vegemouse t3_ye7s33 in providence

I’m moving to Providence in a couple months and have been trying to get back into DnD after a long hiatus. I’ve seen that Providence has a few card/game stores, but was wondering if there is any that run DnD sessions, or even if there’s a place I can find players or a session to join.

Just curious about how much “nerd culture” (video games, card games, etc) in general exists in Providence.

Update: Thanks y’all for the recommendations!

Untapped Games has tons of supplies, and I know Foolproof brewery does weekly DnD but I'm sure there are others too

Thanks! I’ll check out Foolproof once I’m there. I saw untapped and it seems like a good place to play MTG which i’m also into.

Untapped is also great for board games and other TTRPGs. Fun place

Question about that.

I've always wanted to be part of the untapped community but it seems so pricey. I fully understand they need money to run but am I missing something? Are there specials or cheap/free casual events?

Which part is pricey? The DnD nights are $6/person which seems reasonable to me.

I suppose I'm looking for a board game / MTG group to meet 1-2 times per week. That's quite a bit per month which is why I was wondering if there is a discount of sorts.

I haven't really done any events so I'm not sure about pricing. I usually just stop by to casually browse games

Throwing another hat in the ring for Untapped. Haven't been in a while, but they were always amazing, especially to newcomers. When I first got into DnD, I went to a place down in Warren, and they were total assholes.

Ohh that shop in Warren.. I used to go there. The owner is awesome, but the other patrons were big time edgelords.

Another +1 for Untapped Games. I recently went there to get the MTGx40k commander decks and everyone was super chill, staff and players alike.

Will do once I move and find others to play with! I suppose DnD is something you usually play with an existing group of friends but it also seems like a good way to meet others.

Yeah I don’t have any friends that will let me play so I’m trying to join or make a new group lol

I know there’s a group in Pawtucket, my sister goes to it. I’ll ask for the name Edit. Pretty sure it’s Untapped, someone already mentioned it

I’d been considering trying to start some sort of social group centered around table top gaming (though I do play and DM D&D 5e specifically too).

Problem is I have small kids and not a lot of flexibility to go places right now. Would there be interest in starting a Discord community and maybe events and stuff later on if we get good interest?

I think there is a meetup group for this.

Wasn't there a games and comics place on the East Side? Off of Brook Street near Wickenden maybe?
