ABOUT THE CLUB
The EBAC Tabletop Gaming Club (TGC) is a community of Electric Boat employees that come together to participate, talk, share, and altogether involve ourselves in the hobby. Some seek to broaden their knowledge of a particular hobby, to test the waters in a new game, or to simply find others that have a common interest. The TGC considers the following to be under our Tabletop Gaming umbrella;
Board/Card Games (BGs) are tabletop games that typically use pieces. These pieces are moved or placed on a pre-marked board and often include cards, miniatures, and more. (ex. Wingspan, Catan, Uno)
Trading Card Games (TCGs) are a type of card game that mixes strategic deck building elements with features of trading cards. (ex. Magic the Gathering, Pokemon TCG, Lorcana)
Miniature Games (MGs) are a form of tabletop game which prominently features the use of miniature models or figures. (ex. Warhammer 40,000, Battletech)
Tabletop Roleplaying Games (TTRPGs), also known as pen-and-paper role-playing games, are a game in which the participants describe their characters' actions through speech, and sometimes movements. (ex. Dungeons & Dragons, Mork Borg, Alien RPG)
The club officially joined the EBAC in June 2023, but really began in June 2022 with an EB Forum post. There was a small gathering for a game of Catan and the rest is history.

GENERAL FAQS
Yes! Bring them along, but please be aware of the age restriction and themes of the games planned for the event. Guests will also need to sign a liability waiver to participate.
I am looking to rally other club members to play a game I am interested in outside of the usual club events. How would I go about doing this?
You can post your event details in the "Looking For" section of our Discord and/or in the EB Forums under EBAC Tabletop Gaming Club. Be sure to include a description, dates, a responsive point of contact, and other expectations to get the most responses.
I would like to volunteer as Gamemaster for Role-play Night one-shot at the end of the month.
We love volunteers! A new gamemaster always mixes things up. Please provide the number of players you're comfortable with, your adventure system (and version if applicable), and the adventure hook you'd like to use. The club leaders typicaly discuss scheduling on the last week of the month, so please submit your idea accordingly.
I am severing/leaving Electric Boat. Is there a way I can stay a member?
Of course! You are a part of our community. You will still be required to have a signed liability form on file with us, and we can notify you of future events if requested. The only change is for any closed events or tournaments members will receive priority.
