🎉 Welcome to AtlantaPFS! 🎉 We are thrilled to have you join our community of adventurers. To get started, check out our welcome letter.

🕹️ Tabletop RPGs are for EVERYONE—no experience required!

Joining a new group can feel intimidating, especially in an unfamiliar gaming environment. That’s why we emphasize the welcoming and social nature of our game days. Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or new to RPGs, our tables are designed to be friendly, flexible, and fun!

Key things to know:

  • 🪄 Drop in and play—no long-term commitment required
  • 🎭 Play any character you want (within level guidelines)
  • 🤝 Our GMs are here to help you have fun, not to judge
  • 📚 Organized Play uses a “Core Assumption” model that minimizes additional material costs

No group is too established to welcome new friends! Or Nufriends, for our Skittermander fans. Everyone comes to the table as equals, ready to share in the adventure.

For more information, visit these pages on our website:

Our sessions bring together players from all walks of life, and each game is an opportunity to meet new people and build lasting connections. The rotating nature of our games means every session is a fresh start—a chance to share laughter, strategy, and storytelling with a new mix of players.

We’re here to ensure you feel supported, encouraged, and most importantly, included. If you’re nervous about fitting in, don’t worry—our community thrives on making everyone feel like they belong.

🛡️ Tabletop RPGs are for EVERYONE—no experience required!

You do NOT need to be an expert to join us. Our tables are 100% welcoming to new players, and we mean that. The rotating nature of our games creates an environment where everyone, whether new or returning, has the chance to meet fresh faces and enjoy a unique experience each session. This social dynamic makes every game day a fantastic opportunity to forge new connections and build friendships. No expectations, no pressure. Just come as you are and enjoy the adventure!

Common New Player Concerns:

  • 😰 Fitting in with a new and unfamiliar group of players.
  • ⚔️ Feeling pressured to fill specific roles, such as healer or tank, within the game.
  • 🔄 The lack of consistency in group composition compared to a home game, where the same people usually play together regularly.

We address these concerns by assuring you there are no strict expectations for players to fill specific roles. Our games are designed to be flexible and adaptable, ensuring everyone has a fun and enjoyable experience.
