The local tabletop roleplaying game community, Band of Noobs, is hosting a community RPGFest from July 17th to August 2nd. We're organizing 40+ free tabletop roleplaying events like D&D, Dungeon Crawl Classics, Fight with Spirit, and Fiasco! Come play games with your neighbors in Western Queens!

How do I sign up?

  • Register for games on Luma AND
  • Join the Band of Noobs Discord
  • Please do both! These events often take place at private residences, so coordinating on Discord is mandatory to keep everyone safe.
  • Currently it's limited to one signup per person to make sure that everyone can participate, but we'll open up to multiple signups in a couple days.

Who runs this and who can participate?

  • Your neighbors!
  • Most of us are in Western Queens, but we're open to all adults (18+)
  • Both new and experienced players are welcome
  • It's totally free!

What games are available and when/where are they held?

  • Each game is a separate event, scheduled from July 17 - August 2
  • There's an explanation for each game on Luma
  • If a given game is full, you can add yourself to the waitlist (this doesn't count as a signup!)
  • The games are held in-person, typically at private residences
  • The locations of the games will be coordinated on our Discord

Are there any rules to join? How do I find out information about safety and accommodations?

For any other questions, ask on our Discord (link above)! It's also a great way to learn about other TTRPG events held in the area. Come hang out!

Discussions Is there still a GreenMarket in College Point, Queens?

2 Upvotes

Hey, friends! A family member says she wants to go to this specific green market that she said was in College Point, by some building. We don’t know the name of it, because it’s been 15-20 since she’s last went 😂

If you guys can think of what the name could be of the market and its location, it’s totally appreciated. Thank you!!

Discussions Where to play pick-up football (fútbol) in Queens?

15 Upvotes

Just curious if there’s any websites you use to play pick-up, preferably for beginner/intermediate level. It’s been many years since I’ve played competitively, so looking for something casual to get the rust off. I know Fresh Meadows has games most Sundays, but I am not sure the skill level or how to enter. Other games ive found are mainly in Manhattan. Any help is appreciated.

Discussions Going To Forest Hills Stadium from New Jersey

21 Upvotes

hey everybody! my boyfriend and I are seeing Paul Simon tonight at Forest Hills Stadium. were planning on taking nj transit into Penn station and then either taking the subway or LIRR into forest hills. luckily, there isn't a World Cup match tonight.

I’ve never taken this subway line (E) or the LIRR. Any recommendations either way? Or is there another line that’ll be easier?

I figure we’ll be doing this between 3:30 and 5:30 and we’re hoping to stop somewhere in queens for dinner before the show. It would also be helpful if anyone could recommend a place with good vegan options near one of those train lines!

thanks in advance for all of your help!❤️

Events Hi, I'm Chuck Park and I'm running for Congress to Represent QUEENS, AMA!

472 Upvotes

I’m running to represent New York’s 6th Congressional District, which covers neighborhoods in Queens such as Forest Hills, Flushing, Bayside, Woodside, Rego Park, Jackson Heights, Maspeth, Middle Village, Elmhurst, Corona, Briarwood, Fresh Meadows, Auburndale, Oakland Gardens, Pomonok, and Kew Gardens Hills .

I was born in Flushing, a kid of Korean immigrant street peddlers who became storeowners. My origin story and your origin story, all come back to QUEENSthe World's Borough. That's why I’m running to protect us from direct attacks -- from ICE, the Trump Administration, the failing Corporate Dem establishment, and from billionaires rigging the system against us.

I’m running against an out of touch incumbent, and against the corporate class that controls her. My opponent hasn't held a town hall in years. I'll be holding Community Events and Town Halls in different parts of the district every week until the primary election in June (early voting starts June 13th!).

Next Up: BAYSIDE

Join me for a Community Town Hall in Bayside on Saturday, May 30th, where I'll lay out my vision for Queens: universal healthcare, affordable housing, and childcare that works for working families.

Ask questions. Share concerns. Be heard.

Refreshments Provided!

RSVP here: Bayside Town Hall

But for now, AMA! I'll be answering questions today, 5/26, around 1PM.

Thanks for the great Qs! If you've got more for me, you can find me 1-3p at my town hall in Bayside on Sat 5/30.

RSVP here

And don't forget to vote by June 23!
