Games: Community Events in the Metro Boston Area: 7/1/2023 - 7/17/2023

Saturday Go
Live Event - Massachusetts Go Association
July 1

This is a weekly Go meetup hosted by the Massachusetts Go Association, meeting weekly at the Cambridge public library. We have regular attendance, typically somewhere between 4 and 20 players with a wide variety of strengths. We usually set up on the ground floor seating area next to the stairs, immediately to the right of the main entrance.

There usually is no shortage of boards and go equipment, but bringing a set is appreciated, if you have one.
We always welcome beginners and new players, and will be happy to teach any newcomers how to play if they so wish :)

Sunday Mahj
Live Event - Watertown, MA
July 2

This is the Sunday meeting! Low keyed, and often we can have a 'fast' and a 'relaxed' table, depending on turnout. We generally meet at the tables by the fireplace. If you have a set, bring it along.

Elthos RPG - Cosmic Sci-Fi - The Way of All Flesh Campaign
Virtual Event - Westchester Area RPG Society
July 7

The Way of All Flesh is a Cosmic Sci-Fi Space Opera exploring the conflict between High Technology and Nature. The story takes place within the context of ancient histories, and the dreadful potential of a future General Artificial Intelligence gone horribly, and exponentially, wrong. The Players will be adventuring over the course of vast spans of time and space to explore and hopefully save a Universe in deep, deep trouble. Good luck!

Play Arkham Horror at the Tavern of Tales! They have food and drinks! I will rent two private rooms.

New or inexperienced players are welcome! I or others will run a simpler teaching scenario for any new players. Otherwise, we will have an ongoing campaign (which any players can feel free to slot into or out-of), and also some random one shots! I will bring pre-made decks but feel free to bring your own!

The Literary RPG Society of Westchester Monthly Meetup
Virtual Event - The Literary RPG Society of Westchester
July 17

We are a group of RPG enthusiasts forming an open ended discussion society that seeks to share ways to advance our RPG Worlds toward a higher, more literary quality, through the study of the art of storytelling, the use of gamesmastering techniques, as well as the adaptation of classical literature and cross-cultural mythology for our RPGs. We take as our inspiration Tolkien, CS Lewis, George MacDonald, Charles Williams, Robert Howard, A.A. Attanasio, Roger Zelazny, etc, etc, etc.

We will also be glad to help organize and host RPGs, arrange for meeting new players and Gamesmasters, and collaborate on the advancement of our own games - all over darn good pub fare and beverages. Talk typically centers around our experiences and ideas on Gamesmastering and World Weaving (the art of creating a mythopoetic fantasy world). Gamesmasters, World Weavers and Players are welcome.
