Redbridge and London Role-playing group & Boardgaming (Barking)
Gaming group
ADEAVMOrganizing an event Weβve been fans of engaging stories since our ancestors told them by the fire. It was a revelation then, when we found out about role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons. Now we get to do heroic deeds, battle our enemies with guns and swords, and thereβs still plenty of treasure to find! You can join the Ilford Adventurers in creating all kinds of stories, no matter the genre. We like to try other types of games too; board games, card games - the group has something for everyone. Look at our past events, and feel free to message the organizers with any questions.
