Built Around What Players Want to Do
Dorks & Dice began as a Dungeons & Dragons group and grew around a simple principle: the world should open up as the players engage with it. Campaigns were designed to support meaningful choices, unexpected plans, custom systems, and long-term consequences rather than funneling the group toward one fixed solution.
That approach produced long-form stories, unusual encounters, player-created nations and technology, and a setting that expanded in response to the group rather than ahead of it.

A separate summer campaign that let available members continue playing while the main campaign paused for players who had returned home between semesters.
Beyond the Table
Persistent Spaces for the Group
The community extends beyond scheduled tabletop sessions through Discord and privately operated game servers. These spaces provide somewhere to play, coordinate, share work, and keep the group connected when a full campaign is not running.
