OPEN HEARTH GAMING COMMUNITY

Open Hearth is an online gaming community focused on indie RPGs, storygames, and other TTRPGs—with a commitment to safety and inclusivity.

To be a little more specific, Open Hearth Gaming Community is dedicated to supporting TTRPG players and event facilitators. We have a dedicated calendar app which we use to organize events from one-shots to series spanning months.

Supporters of our Patreon at the $4+ level have a 48-hour priority sign-up window from when events are posted. After that, anyone is welcome to sign up for sessions. Some sessions are run specifically for new players and waive that window. Full sessions have waitlists, and folks who sign up for those often end up in games.

All sessions are run using a layered set of safety tools and adhere to our
community code of conduct.

We have a dedicated Discord server for discussing and planning events on the calendar. Anyone who plays in a session with us or supports our Patreon is welcome to join.

The Open Hearth Discord server is here: https://discord.gg/kpfcuCFzzM

There’s a lot more to what we do: we offer free gaming weekends to introduce folks to online play and new games; we have free game facilitator camps; we have regular talks and seminars on gaming; and we’re working on a relaunch of our podcast. These are all freely available to everyone and made possible by the generous support of our patrons.
