My name is Gabriel, I like playing games and am new to making them.

Dundee Tabletop Playtesting Meetup happens every 2nd Wednesday of the month @ Cake or Dice from 5 - 9pm.
It is a casual meetup for playtesting tabletop games, from board games, to card games, to TTRPGs and more. If you have a game you’d like to playtest, or you’d like to help playtest other people’s games, we’d love to have you!
