Someone sets the scene
The "GM" describes a world; you live in it.
Gather around
the table.
Hi! We are building a local community around tabletop roleplaying games — small groups, some dice, and a story you create together. Whether you've played for years or never seen a 20-sided die, there's a place for you at the table.
Join the community →What even is this?
A tabletop roleplaying game is part game, part shared story. One person sets the scene, everyone else decides what their characters do, and dice help determine what happens next. You build a story together, one choice at a time. No experience needed.
Dice decide the surprises
A roll turns a plan into a story worth telling.
You build it together

Who's behind it?
Who's behind Glenside Games
Hi — I'm Brian. I grew up in Jenkintown, just a couple blocks from the old Hobby Shop, where I loved checking out the painted miniatures in the window and browsing the Dungeons & Dragons books inside. I've spent years playing D&D and other tabletop RPGs with friends, and the hardest part was always the same: organizing games. I'm starting Glenside Games to try to make that easier by organizing games in local venues and helping nearby players of all experience levels find each other.
