About

Driftless Tabletop is a grassroots gaming collective dedicated to fostering tabletop roleplaying and board game culture throughout the Driftless Region—an area rich in natural beauty and community spirit, spanning roughly an hour’s drive from La Crosse, Wisconsin and Winona, Minnesota. Founded by passionate gamers who believe in the power of storytelling, strategy, and shared imagination, Driftless Tabletop creates welcoming spaces for players of all ages and experience levels to gather, learn, and play. Whether you're rolling dice in a Dungeons & Dragons campaign or strategizing over a Euro-style board game, their events are designed to spark creativity and connection.

The group hosts regular game nights, pop-up campaigns, and collaborative world-building sessions in libraries, cafes, and community centers across the region. They emphasize inclusivity and accessibility, offering beginner-friendly sessions, game master mentorship, and a rotating library of games to explore. Driftless Tabletop also partners with local artists, educators, and small businesses to promote the creative and educational value of tabletop gaming, often integrating themes of regional folklore and environmental stewardship into their adventures.

Beyond gameplay, Driftless Tabletop serves as a hub for community-building and creative expression. They support local creators through zine swaps, miniature painting workshops, and custom terrain crafting, and they’re known for organizing seasonal festivals that blend gaming with art, food, and music. Their mission is simple but powerful: to cultivate joy, imagination, and friendship through the shared language of games. Whether you're a seasoned dungeon master or just curious about rolling your first d20, Driftless Tabletop invites you to pull up a chair and join the story
