OGG Campaigns
We're host three-month RPG campaigns in collaboration with local professional GMs (game masters). For folks who've been wanting to try roleplaying games like Dungeons and Dragons or just searching for a new group, our campaigns are reliable, meet consistently, and don't require you to own any books or accessories to get started.
Process
- Join the Opal Grove Discord server.
- Submit a registration form.
- Get matched into a campaign.
- Create your character (with help from your GM).
- Have fun exploring a new world!
Prior to the start of the season, prospective players can read through descriptions of the upcoming campaigns to get a sense of what play will be like. The player registration form tells OGG staff and the GMs when everyone is able to meet regularly, what experience they have with RPGs, and what players are hoping to gain or learn.
OGG will take all of this information, as well as the GMs' goals and preferences, into account and match up all of the groups. At that point, players who've been matched into a group will receive an invoice. Paying that invoice secures a player's spot in a campaign.
Each group gets a private channel in our Discord server. This provides a low-pressure opportunity to connect with fellow group members and ask questions of the GM. This private channel can be used for session notes, metagaming, inside jokes, anything that your group wants to use it for!
Several campaigns run at once over the course of 12 weeks. Each group will meet in the private gaming room at Opal Grove Games for no more than four hours per session. All campaigns begin with a Session Zero, where you'll finalize characters, discuss boundaries, and fine tune the world/story you'll be playing through with your GM.
If your GM is ever unable to make it in for your scheduled timeslot, a staff member who's been following along with your campaign will step in to run that session!
Pricing
Each session is $35 and there are 12 sessions in a campaign. You can pay up front and get two free sessions ($350) or you can pay monthly (3 payments of $140). Either way, the majority of this fee goes toward paying the GM.
In addition to a rich and engaging roleplaying experience, you'll get:
- matched with a group to play with consistently for 12 weeks
- use of our private gaming area
- access to your game's core book for reference
- all necessary printed materials and supplies, including character sheets
- accessories (dice, cards, towers, etc.) available to borrow in-store
- in-store storage between sessions
- snacks with each session!
Upcoming Campaigns
Mythic Odysseys of Theros
GM: Jeremy (he/him)
System: Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition
Summary: You have done your time you have fought your war and now all you long for is home. But in a war unlike anything you have ever seen, the once-familiar journey is now a life-threatening trek. Dangers from childhood tales to an undead goddess stand between you and home. Are you ready for what monsters await you? Are you ready to fight your way through? Are you ready to be legendary?

A House of Plenty
GM: Nel (any/they)
System: Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition (with Witch+Craft)
Summary: In addition to concocting proto-typical sword & sorcery adventurers, players' characters will also be makers of a particular craft, supported by Witch+Craft's very elegant and satisfying crafting system. The party will make things, break things, fix a house, and ruin a plot - or have a good time trying. There will be combat - this will probably run just a shade less cottage core than the book prescribes.

Hope Reborn
GM: Anthony (he/him)
System: Cyberpunk RED
Summary: Experience a near-future dystopia full of cybernetic madness, action-movie set pieces, noir level intrigue and cyber-schadenfreude. Become an Edgerunner—a half-merc half-gangster who uses guns, connections, cars or hacks to get ahead—and take on rival crews, vicious gangs, and your resident corporate overlords.

Wonderland Dreamscape
GM: Lando (they/any)
System: City of Mist
Summary: Your characters live seemingly ordinary lives in the sprawling metropolis. Yet, each of them harbors a slumbering myth, a whisper from another world—an echo of the Cheshire Cat, the White Rabbit, or the Queen of Hearts. They are drawn into a twisted version of Wonderland that flickers in and out of their city, a world where logic falters, and the line between friend and foe is blurred.
