RPG Colorado: TTRPG Events Roundup
Welcome back to a very special issue of the RPG Colorado newsletter! This issue is gonna be a bit different, there's no unique events I found for the next few weeks so instead we're doing a roundup of the recurring happenings. Most of these have been featured in various issues of the newsletter but I thought it might be useful to have a version all in one place. Don't forget these are always featured on our calendar.
Know of any recurring open games or events that we're missing? Fill out our event submission form to get it on the calendar! Are you a frequent player/GM for one of these events? Leave a comment or contact us to let us and others know why they should attend too!
