Saison Zero is a free monthly TTRPG club that meets every third Saturday at Wonderville in Brooklyn, NY from 2–6pm.
We practice open tables, so anyone can show up and play, even if you’ve never been here before.
However, Wonderville is a bar, so it’s best if all players are over the age of 21. But no one will card you and you’re not required to drink. However, it is recommended you order something to support the venue. (Wonderville does offer non-alcoholic options besides water and soda.)
No, just show up on time. Especially if you have a particular game you want to play, as we can’t guarantee a seat at your preferred table.
We divide up into small groups and play TTRPGs for 3-4 hours. The first half hour usually consists of learning how to play plus character creation, followed by a short break. After about two hours, there will usually be another 10-15 minute break at the facilitator's discretion.
If the game ends early (before 6) we might hang out a bit, or even play a short game that can be finished quickly. We cannot run late as we need to vacate so the next event can start at Wonderville.
Tabletop role-playing games like: Troika!, Mörk Borg, Mothership, Root, Mausritter, Dialect, Monsterhearts, Monster of the Week, World Wide Wrestling, Agon, Into the Odd, Star Trek Adventures, Sleepaway, CY_BORG, For the Queen, Microscope, and Brindlewood Bay.
Also a bunch of games you may or may not have heard of. You can see the flyers for our previous sessions here.
Saison Zero originally started as a D&D meetup, but since the OGL debacle in early 2023, we’ve steered more toward playing indie RPGs instead.
There are plenty of opportunities to play Dungeons & Dragons here in New York and, if you’re interested, we recommend checking out a local meetup, or just ask around on Reddit.
This doesn’t mean we’ll never play D&D at Saison Zero but those opportunities will be rare and probably hella weird.
Saison Zero is a community-run organization and, as such, all of our games are run by volunteers. Anyone can run a game; they just have to say they want to.
Yes, that means you! Do you want to run a Saison Zero game? Hit us up on Discord!
People run the games they want to run. There is no formal process beyond someone saying, “hey, I’d like to run this game” in Discord. Our organizer(s) will follow up with you in private chat to put it on the schedule.
You could also just show up with a game the day-of and the odds are greater than zero you may get to run it. It really depends on how many people show up and whether we have space.
We ask that you give us a month’s notice if you want to be included on the promotional materials.
If you’re just coming to play, no. We can provide pencils, dice, paper and character sheets. We want to be as welcoming to newcomers as possible.
However, if you become a regular, it would be in good taste to start chipping in. Snacks are always welcome. And if you have dice, bring them! More dice are definitely welcome.
If you are running a game, you will need to provide the basic materials to play. If you are lacking something like enough dice or a working printer to print out game materials, please contact the Saison Zero organizers and we’ll figure something out.
Yes, we love to try out new games at Saison Zero! Just ask in our Discord or hit up one of our organizers so we can put you on the schedule.
