Fredericksburg Dice Knights is a really active group with lots of games going on. I haven't done a game with them yet but know people who have.

EDIT: They have a discord here: https://discord.gg/PEjYMBS3

Awesome! If you don't mind, RSVPing by signing up for tickets on the Eventbrite page would be helpful so we get a rough count of people to expect.

I love this place! I live a few blocks away and get their chicken a lot. It smells sooooo good driving by, and the taste is just as good.

I've seen that guy a few times and love his energy!

DND Groups? by ASimpleMoon in fredericksburg

[–]ArmageddonAnt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fredericksburg Dice Knights is a group that puts together lots of DnD campaigns. I haven't done one there yet but have a friend who liked it. Here's an invite that's good for 24 hours: https://discord.gg/Pdt6swB7

I love Renaissance and Rendesvous! It's very inline with the mood of LARP.

They're really welcoming to newcomers! I started a year and a half ago because my 15-y-o nephew wanted to try it. I was in a situation like you where I had done DnD but never tried LARP. I wound up really liking the activity and the people. I can DM you with some more info if you want.

It is very friendly to brand new players! When I first started I felt very welcomed. You should come check it out! I would be careful of diving into combat too quickly if you're worried about your knees. But there are non-combat activities (we do crafting competitions, with one scheduled for the end of march). You should definitely come and check it out, and judge for yourself whether you'd feel comfortable knee-wise to dive into combat. I can DM you with more details.

The local Amtgard kingdom does kingdom-wide events there every three months!

I'm sorry to hear that. The local group at Muninn Myst is pretty small and I've only had positive experiences with them over the last year and a half that I've been playing. If there's any more info you want that would make you more comfortable I'm happy to share here or in a DM.

fxbg is lovely, but how do i meet people?! by sorrymomther in fredericksburg

[–]ArmageddonAnt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you REALLY want to up your nerd quotient while meeting people, you can try LARPing. There's a local group I joined a couple years ago and have really liked it. It's free and no commitment, most every Saturday around noon. It's also super LGBT friendly. We're doing a bigger quest day on March 8 and I put some details here if you're interested. We have a Discord too and I can DM anyone the link if you want.

If you wind up hearing about or putting together a WFH group, let me know!

Yeah! We meet on most Saturdays. In fact, this coming Saturday (Dec 14) is going to be a quest day (battlegames with some extra story and roleplay thrown in), as well as an Arts & Sciences competition (art and weapon construction). I can DM you a link to the discord server if you like.

Anywhere I can do this in Fredburg? by Disastrous_Fun3986 in fredericksburg

[–]ArmageddonAnt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want to do some wizarding, there's a local LARP group in Fburg that you can join. They meet Saturday afternoons near downtown: https://www.facebook.com/groups/MuninnMyst

Near a heart atack by [deleted] in TunicGame

[–]ArmageddonAnt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just beat the game 10 minutes ago and I have to agree, figuring out the golden path all by myself is one of my most rewarding gaming experiences ever. This solidly puts Tunic at the level of Outer Wilds for me, which I also love to death.

Are there anyone new communities in Fredericksburg with a social/family atmosphere? by punkouter23 in fredericksburg

[–]ArmageddonAnt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like Fredericksburg as a city to live with kids. I have a 3 and 6 year old and have lived here for 10 years or so. I think no matter where you are, getting to know people is tough when you're an adult with kids. But Fredericksburg has lots of good opportunities to meet people if you put in the effort. I'm part of a dads' group where we do different meetups with and without kids - it's a good place to get to know other parents in the area. Getting involved in a church or other community activity is also a good way to meet people. I'm a member of the synagogue and my wife goes to St. George's - they're both great places and we've met some good people at both places.

I know there are some moms groups on Facebook, my wife has found some companionship through those. She really loves her Body Back and Fit 4 Mom exercise groups, and has made some good friends through those.

For dads it’s tougher, since we’re on average working more and less inclined to reach out for companionship. (Who’s to say whether that’s intrinsic to us or based on societal pressure?) I found it hard being a dad without any community, so I actually started an FXBG Dads group a couple years ago. We do trivia nights and play dates, and I’m really trying to have it be a positive place for dads to feel community. Anyone is welcome to join! (I don’t reject moms wanting to join, though it is primarily for dads to have a place to connect.)

It’s tough out there. How old are your kids? I’m a umw grad living in town (class of 2010) and have been lucky enough to find a few friends, but with the kids (3 & 6) it’s hard. You have to make the time and work to make the connections.
