The London RPG Community (we usually call it the LRC) is a Discord server for lovers of tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGs) to meet, discuss, and play together. We’re entirely open to new members at all times, as long as you’re 18 or over.
Do I have to be in London to play?
Despite the name, you don’t need to be London-based, since most of our games take place online — including our flagship drop-in D&D campaign, The Kantas Expanse. However, our in-person games do take place in London, typically in a pub or café.
Looking for in-person games? We play weekly on Wednesdays at the Clement Attlee pub in Limehouse! We have a D&D table, plus a range of one-shots and campaigns in indie systems, all totally free to play! Check out Weekly Games Night on the server to join in.
Who runs the games?
We are an informal collective, which just means that outside of The Kantas Expanse, games are arranged at-will by the members. That means you never know exactly what’s going to be on offer — and also that there’s nothing stopping anyone from signing up to be a Game Master and running something themselves!
We’ve hosted both in-person and online games in a range of systems, including Pathfinder, Vampire: The Masquerade, Call of Cthulu, Daggerheart, City of Mist, Old School Essentials, Belonging Outside Belonging, and much, much more.
About that D&D campaign…
Are you interested in playing in an ongoing story, but you don’t have time to commit every week? Then The Kantas Expanse may be for you!
Our ongoing Dungeons & Dragons 5.5 Edition campaign has multiple sessions every week, and you can dip in and out as suits your schedule.
- All Kantas games run online through the LRC Discord server, so you can join from anywhere (not just London)!
- With a large team of Dungeon Masters running games, you’ll experience a variety of stories and game types. From intrigue to whimsy, from horror frights to date nights; whether you prefer exploration, puzzle-solving, epic fights, or role-play heavy games — we have it covered.
- Every game happens in a shared setting. Regular one-off games are often connected by overarching storylines, culminating in periodic grand finales for all players.
- The Kantas Expanse has been running since 2017, with over 80 players and hundreds of characters. It is (as far as we know) the longest-running West Marches-style campaign in the UK!
D&D beginners are welcome! New players are assigned a buddy from our Dungeon Master team who can help you with character creation, learning D&D and more. You’ll get priority booking for your first game, and you’ll always start in Kantas with a Beginner Friendly session, regardless of previous experience in RPGs. For more about our setting and systems, we also present the Player’s Guide to the Kantas Expanse.
