Monday 6/1 - 6:30-10pm (First Monday) - Denver Indie RPG - Bierstadt Lagerhaus - Denver
The Denver Indie RPG meetup is back for June! Curious about trying a new setting or learning a new system? Sign up on Warhorn to secure a spot at one of this month's games. This is a friendly, inclusive environment for diving into all kinds of unique RPGs. Check out the games on offer below:
Blades in the Dark: One Last Score (GM: Cody): A darkly comedic heist in the fog-choked city of Doskvol. One of you is getting married in three days, and the rest of you are the friends who got the call. Your mission: break into a private auction house, crack a vault, and retrieve a compromising ledger before the wedding is called off. No prior experience is required; rules will be taught at the table. Expect scheming, bad decisions, and at least one dog.
Troika!: The Blancmange and Thistle (GM: Royce): Troika! is a science-fantasy RPG where you and your cosmopolitan group of fellow travelers—ranging from pond priests to lobotomized aristocrats—explore the ends of the multiverse. You will fly on mystic barges, help dying gods, solve confounding crimes, and plunder dead worlds.
Nimble (GM: Niko): It is time once again for the annual Augni Festival in the city of Cawlig. There will be games, food, and plenty of smiles—unless dastardly deals and baneful bandits ruin the fun. It’s up to you to save the festival!
Call of Cthulhu: Aurora Blue (GM: Rich): Set in 1932, you play as prohibition agents tasked with raiding an illegal whiskey distillery hidden in Alaska's Chugach Mountains. As the sun sets, the true "bad things" come out to play.
Tuesday, 6/2 - 6 PM - 9:30 PM - Dungeons n' Drafts - Odell Brewing Sloan's Lake - Denver
Dungeons n' Drafts brings D&D to breweries around Colorado. Characters and materials are provided and all experience levels welcome.

June's Adventure: Revenge of the Spider Queen

Tuesday, 6/9 - 7 PM - 8 PM - Goblin Mode Comedy - Western Sky Bar & Taproom - Englewood
Goblin Mode turns your D&D stories into live comedy. Tuesday June 19th at 7pm
Unleash your inner goblin at GOBLIN MODE! Live comedy for D&D audiences! We listen to your Tabletop RPG memories and turn them into laughs for fun and profit.
Never played or watched D&D and wonder if you'll like this? If you've seen Lord of the Rings or read a Romantasy book, you'll get most of the jokes.
Have a good D&D story? Or a friend who does? You might be part of what makes this show unforgettable.
Our show starts with an audience member telling a story about a memorable moment in a D&D game they really played. We interview them to draw out the interesting and funny details. Then we perform improvised scenes inspired by the story they told. We never know what'll happen in the scenes, but it's always absolute goblin behavior.
Thursday, 6/11 - 7 PM - 9 PM - Roleplay at the Cabaret - The Clocktower Cabaret - Denver
A Festival of Fae is an immersive live-play D&D-inspired comedy and burlesque adventure. Watch a ragtag band of bards navigate fae chaos through improv storytelling, cabaret guest stars, and real-time audience influence. Part fantasy roleplay, part variety spectacle — you won't just watch the quest unfold, you'll become part of it!
Roleplay at the Cabaret is a stylized live-play TTRPG stage experience that blends the traditional dice-rolling improv storytelling of roleplaying games with the intimate spectacle of cabaret. With audience participation, variety hijinks, and live influence through a custom-built website, they present a show that's just as much fun as it is unique.
Saturday, 6/13 - 8 AM - 7 PM - SpringGiving - Broomfield Community Center
Our Biggest Quest Yet!
We’ve officially outgrown our old dungeon! This year, SpringGiving is taking over both the upstairs and downstairs areas of the Broomfield Community Center. This expansion means we can welcome more travelers to join us for a day of dice-rolling and community impact.

This is a yearly event and we’re excited to kick off the year with you. Your ticket includes access to a wide variety of games, open tables, and great company—all in support of a mission that brings the gaming community together in meaningful ways.
At Gamers Giving Inc., we believe that gaming has the power to build stronger, more compassionate communities. SpringGiving is more than just a day of games—it’s a celebration of the people who make this community special.
