Dice on the Hill

During a recent visit to Shrewsbury House - our local community centre - Sue pointed out that a gaming group met there every Wednesday evening. She suggested that I ought to pay it a visit … so yesterday, I did.

The group - Dice on the Hill - started in 2018 and has a membership of over 150, although not all of them turn up every week. It also has a presence on Facebook, Instagram, and X as well as an active Discord group. According to its website:

The majority of our members are playing role-playing games, mostly that is D&D 5e where there is always a space to play. But we also run many other systems, such as Call of Cthulhu, WFRP, Star Wars, Free League RPGS, and more. We host multiple D&D 5e campaigns and welcome newcomers for both short-term and long-term adventures.

We offer a welcoming environment for both experienced players and newcomers to explore popular games like Blood Bowl, Kill Team, Magic: The Gathering, Warhammer 40k, Zombicide, and more.

I had a reasonable idea as to what would be on offer when I visited the group … and it lived up to my expectations. I was made very welcome, and had the opportunity to see loads of RPG games in progress ...

… as well as two games of FROSTGRAVE.

I spent most of the time watching the latter, and joining in the banter around the tables.

I thoroughly enjoyed myself, and will certainly be going back again … hopefully next week!
