Gloucester City, NJ (South Jersey) right across the Walt Whitman bridge from Philly.
I'd love to get a face to face game going. Willing to DM or be a player. Though my apartment is pretty small and may not be an ideal playing space until my wife and I move into a bigger space.
Morris County (Madison) here. Vet player, frequent DM, owner of a ridiculous set of minis and terrain. Might be looking to start up a new campaign in the area and/or join one.
Union County player here! There used to be a group close-by but the comic shop that it met up in closed before I could join. New to D&D, only have a player handbook for 5e, but I have dice and am ready to roll!
What's up everyone! Jersey City and Bergen County area here!
I'm basically getting back into DND after a long hiatus. I'd like to get know a bunch of DND players in NJ area, update myself a bit on what's new/the "culture", and find some people we have chemistry with to play. I'm also just trying to connect with players around the area, myself, for now, and make it easier for us to find each other.
So let's be in touch and also have you found a group? And do you by any chance know of any such meetups/locations?
(been sending this message around to some people to try to link everyone up)
Welcome! I was in the same situation (returning after a long hiatus) and have now found an East Coast game to play in. We’re playing via Roll20 and Discord. Haven’t found a local face-to-face yet but definitely open to it.
Currently playing a GOO Tome Warlock at 2nd level.
I'm in Jersey City and in Bergen County a lot, but driving around the North/Central NJ area ain't bad...
So after talking to some people and researching a bit, here's something I realized, personally for me:
As I've said I used to play a lot in my late teens - mostly ADND 2e and some 3e, but after these 15 years "out the game" I am realizing that I should try some 'one shots' at game stores. The thing is that I think I know my preferences, but after the hiatus, I probably don't. So I decided that doing at least a couple of oneshots would help me figure out what do I actually prefer now in terms of campaign style/setting, edition of DND, types of people to play with, kind of character I want to play, even # hours in a session that's best for me, and just update myself on the rules and present culture.
After, ideally I'd like to play in a long, forgotten realms/high fantasy type campaign with 3-4 players + dm and play regularly, at one of our homes, with cool, easy going, not easily triggered, but not overly creepy people, who have some experience.
I think that's best way for me to move right now. And I actually have found maaaany people like you and me who are looking for groups and having trouble - like tons and around this area - and many are even willing to DM and/or host. I really think it just takes putting it out there.
About 20 years gaming experience. Mostly as a DM. I started with Basic D&D, and moved on to AD&D 2nd Edition which was my longest run at playing. Very happy memories and nostalgic for the 2nd Edition era. Played some Chill (Pacesetter version) and later did some 3.5 D&D and eventually Pathfinder when 4th Edition came out. Currently playing with a new group of friends with 5e and having a blast.
Just found this forum. Thinking about starting up a new group, not sure just kinda testing the waters. Would probably do a 5e game. Could be persuaded to drag out the old 2nd Edition stuff. I usually do a mix of homebrew/published worlds. Mostly played in Mystara and Golarion, my current world has bits of those and other worlds in them.
Anyway, just seeing what's out there and open to chat with anyone about our favorite hobby.
I'm an old timer.. started in 80s looking to dm a campaign. A bit rusty.. looking for players open for 4-5 hour sessions on Saturday late afternoon and evening. Casual play once every 3-4 weeks. Prefer older players, but just more about having fun. In South Bergen county about 2 miles from met life stadium. Email me if you are interested or want more details. Before session 0 I would suggest group meet at local pizzeria.
I'm in Eatontown. I'm looking to either join a nearby group or start a new one. If starting a new group, while new and inexperienced players would be welcome, I would prefer to play with adults because I'm old. Adults = anyone with their own income, living space, transportation and the ability to stick to a schedule.
I'm pretty much brand new to the game but have been trying to find a group to start up with. I'm in Bergen County, North Eastern, NJ. Send me a message if you want to try to group up!

Gloucester county player here looking for a new group. Wouldnt mind trying my hand at DMing either. Weekends work best.
