A nonprofit making room for connection. Looking to play? Find your haven

Tabletop gaming at Second Haven

A shared table.
A new adventure.

A roll of the dice. An unexpected idea. A story you make together. Tabletop games give us another way to share virtual spaces and build real connections.

From board games to Dungeons & Dragons (DnD), there is room for curiosity, creativity, and new friends.

Dungeons & Dragons

Your character.
Our shared story.

DnD is a tabletop role-playing game where you create a character and explore an imaginary world together. You describe what you want to do, make choices as a group, and roll dice when the outcome is uncertain.

At Second Haven, our new DnD groups are player led, with one member volunteering as Dungeon Master. The adventure grows through everyone’s ideas.

Join a Group

Our DnD groups are part of our community’s own creativity. Members come together to play, shape their adventures, and make a story that belongs to the group.

Meet the Guide

The Dungeon Master, often called the DM, describes the world, play the people and creatures you meet, and help guide the story and the rules.

Share the Story

Players each bring a character to the adventure. Ask a question, try an unexpected idea, help a companion, or solve a puzzle together. You don’t need to arrive knowing every rule.

What might a session feel like?

Imagine your party reaching a mysterious door. No one person has to have all the answers.

  1. The DM sets the scene. There are strange markings on the door and a sound on the other side.
  2. You decide together. Read the markings, listen closely, knock, or try something nobody expected.
  3. The story unfolds. A dice roll, a discovery, and your choices lead to the next moment you share.

New to role-playing? Let your group know. Questions and learning together are part of getting started. Our community care commitments belong at the table, too.

More ways to be together

A game table,
wherever we are.

Tabletop games using Tabletopia, Tabletop Simulator, and DnD platforms give us another way to share virtual spaces and connect.

A shared board or map gives us somewhere to gather. Taking turns, planning a move, and laughing at a surprising roll give us something to talk about.

Tabletopia

A virtual space for board games, with a shared table and game pieces to move together. It brings the familiar feeling of gathering around a board into an online space.

Tabletop Simulator

A digital tabletop for playing with boards, cards, dice, and other game pieces. It offers another shared space for trying games and spending time with fellow members.

DnD platforms

Tools such as D&D Beyond and Roll20 can support online adventures with character sheets, dice, and shared maps. We also use dedicated channels in our Discord for DnD with specialized bots for rolling die.

Before setting anything up, check with your group about the game, platform, accounts, and any costs involved.

Come as you are

There’s a place for your imagination.

All new members are welcome to participate in our DnD groups. Whether you are curious about your first character or would like to volunteer as a Dungeon Master, start a conversation with us.
