Dungeons & Dragons is a collaborative storytelling game.  Players create characters and make choices together as the story unfolds, guided by a Game Master and the roll of the dice.  You don't need to know the rules or prepare anything in advance - just show up ready to imagine, decide, and have fun.

New players are welcome, and experienced players will find plenty to enjoy as well.

Hosted by Ken Collins, Experienced Game Master

Ken Collins has been playing Dungeons & Dragons since the 1980s, and from the very beginning, he discovered that his favorite part of the game wasn't just playing characters (though that's a blast) - it was building worlds, crafting adventures, and guiding stories at the table.  Like many longtime players, life eventually took over, and D&D took a back seat through much of the 1990s and 2000s.

In the 2010s, Ken returned to the game with a renewed appreciation for what tabletop role-playing does best:  bringing people together through shared imagination and collaborative storytelling.  Since then, he has been running games regularly, most often in Denver during several trips there each year, with a focus on welcoming tables, strong narratives, and engaging one-shot adventures.

Ken's goal as a Game Master is simple . . .

To create a relaxed, beginner-friendly environment where new players feel comfortable jumping in, experienced players stay engaged, and everyone leaves the table having shared a great story.

Hosted at Artifacts 302 in Downtown Farmington, NM

Artifacts 302 is one of the coolest buildings in Farmington.  It is located in what used to be the historic Farmington Lumber and Hardware building at 302 E Main St - at the first round-about as you're entering Historic Downtown Farmington.  Now, it is an art gallery featuring many on-site artists, the Studio Bake Shoppe with great coffee and freshly-baked baked goods, and a Gift Shoppe up front.  The venue is warm, friendly, and beautiful - and very welcoming to our one-shot events.

Please support our wonderful hosts with a purchase from the Bake Shoppe or the Gift Shoppe!
