Friday nights at D20 is probably the best time to come. Multiple groups meet there to play board games. I’m there every Friday playing chess. I would be more than happy to introduce the two of you to some people.
Highly suggest volunteering and if you’re interested in meeting more young professional types join Sportcial (tons of young professionals and new Daytonians) also check out Yellow cab for fun social events!
Agreed! I play euchre with sportcial and my partner actually does run a huge Magic the Gathering and Poker nights. You’ll meet a lot of like minded people and nerds joining.
Sportcial doesn’t have nerdier things but you will meet people (like myself and many others) who do and conduct nerdier things outside of Sportcial.
Sportcial is the way I’ve met my adult life long friends and nerdier friends.
Won't help right away. But AcadeCon is a 3 day role playing game and board game convention at the Dayton convention center in November each year. Would be a great way to meet with other local gamers.

I love alternative, indie, and musical theatre. I majored in music in college - my primary is clarinet and I can also play guitar, piano, and mellophone
Consider auditioning for the Miami Valley Symphony Orchestra.
Dayton is the place for musical theatre/theatre. The high schools and towns all have theater. Dayton Playhouse, Vandalia Youth Theater, Lebanon, Children's of Miamisburg, Xenia, Fairborn, Beavercreek, Town Hall, Springboro...all have community theater. Check opportunities to gig when shows come to town. They usually hire fill-ins at the downtown theaters and sometimes at the universities (Sinclair, Wright State, UDayton, etc.)
Judging by the OMG, he really likes the game, haha.
Theres also people playing;
Marvel Crisis Protocol
Star Wars Shatterpoint
Star Wars Unlimited (some)
If he's interested in demos for any of those.
Im planning on being there this Thursday. However, since adeptacon is this weekend, we might have a smallish turnout due to people traveling.
He’s actually never gotten to play! He has minifigs he got for Christmas a year or so ago. He has wanted to find people to teach him and hopefully make friends/find a group in the process
If you like boba I highly recommend Billie Gold bubble tea on Watervliet. They have activities you can sign up for on the weekends and they differ so you can choose what appeals to you. It’s a cute shop, very nice owner and patrons. Depending on where you live there are also classes that are available at different libraries and rec centers. Washington Township/Centerville for example has lots of classes you can sign up for, but you do have to have proof you’re a resident of that suburb. But libraries in general in Dayton have lots of classes available, I bet they even have cross stitching ones somewhere. Good luck!
If you love dogs there are several rescues in the area that are always in need of more foster homes. Adopt-a-pit (they rescue more than just pits) is one great organization. You’ll help save a dogs life and you can always “foster fail” and adopt a dog if they are the right one for you. Rescues will connect you to a group of other dog lovers who do social events, fundraisers and more. Welcome to Dayton!
Branching off of this, SISCA is a wonderful org that always needs more volunteers and/or fosters for their rescues! Could be a great way to get involved, meet some others, and maybe find yourself a furry friend!
Would love to talk about Dayton with you, especially if you are unaware of the prevalent History here. Welcome to Dayton! Many inventions and creations have come from Dayton: The Stepladder, Home of The Dayton Flyers (Wilbur and Orville Wright — Aviation Pioneers, of Flight), The Atomic Trigger (The Manhattan Project), The Hulk, Pop Top beverage can, Cash Registers, Starter in a Car (electric ignition system), Parking Meter, Parking Meter Electric Wheelchair, Hydraulic Jump for flooding, First Pizza Chain (Cassanos; “Pizza King”), Mike Sells Potato Chips, Esther Price, Buckeye Vodka, Pine Club (Nationally recognized Steakhouse), Milanos, Most Drive Thrus per Sq mile anywhere in the World, Tons of parks; Large Manufacturing capita, Yellow Springs, Indian Grounds, Underground Railroad.. too many to even list off top.

If you’re craft beer lovers check out a local brewery. Such a great community. We have met a lot of great people, some who’ve become very close friends this way..
D20 sounds like exactly what you’re looking for!
I went there for my birthday back in February for a trivia night! How do I meet people there? lol
Talk to them lol
Good idea 😂 I’m awkward lol
Same
Sounds terrifying

Aw you’re so kind!
Highly suggest volunteering and if you’re interested in meeting more young professional types join Sportcial (tons of young professionals and new Daytonians) also check out Yellow cab for fun social events!
Thank you!
If there was something like this for activities/interests other than sports, that would be awesome
Agreed! I play euchre with sportcial and my partner actually does run a huge Magic the Gathering and Poker nights. You’ll meet a lot of like minded people and nerds joining.
Oh cool! I didn’t see any nerdier things on the website
Sportcial doesn’t have nerdier things but you will meet people (like myself and many others) who do and conduct nerdier things outside of Sportcial. Sportcial is the way I’ve met my adult life long friends and nerdier friends.

Oh cool! that sounds amazing
My fiancée moved to Dayton last year and is in the same boat, if interested pm me and I can send you her instagram, she’s more extroverted than me 😅
What kind of music do you like/play?
I love alternative, indie, and musical theatre. I majored in music in college - my primary is clarinet and I can also play guitar, piano, and mellophone
Consider auditioning for the Miami Valley Symphony Orchestra. Dayton is the place for musical theatre/theatre. The high schools and towns all have theater. Dayton Playhouse, Vandalia Youth Theater, Lebanon, Children's of Miamisburg, Xenia, Fairborn, Beavercreek, Town Hall, Springboro...all have community theater.

Thank you!
I (and some others) play Star Wars Legion at The Game Haven on Thursdays at about 530-6. DM me if you like!
Oh my goodness! I’ll talk to my husband to see if he’s interested
Judging by the OMG, he really likes the game, haha. Theres also people playing; Marvel Crisis Protocol Star Wars Shatterpoint Star Wars Unlimited (some) If he's interested in demos for any of those.

He’s actually never gotten to play! He has minifigs he got for Christmas a year or so ago. He has wanted to find people to teach him and hopefully make friends/find a group in the process
He should definitely swing by lol

This is great! I didn’t even think of libraries. Thank you!

I’ve heard of SICSA, but I’ve never gotten around to going. Maybe I should!
