OPEN HEARTH GAMING COMMUNITY

Open Hearth is an online gaming community focused on indie RPGs, storygames, and other TTRPGs—with a commitment to safety and inclusivity.

MECHA MARCH

A MONTH OF MECHA GAMING

The Open Hearth is proud to present a whole month of MECHA gaming this March 2026. All events are completely free. Anyone can play - you don’t have to be a current community member.

Signups will be handled via Playabl with the Open Hearth Gaming Community. You can sign up for the community there, which gets you access to sign ups when they open. Once you register for the community and the admins have confirmed it, you’ll be set up.

Signups will open Sunday, February 1st at 0900 US Eastern.

LET THE MARCH OF MECHS COMMENCE! ACTIVATE!

To be a little more specific, Open Hearth Gaming Community is dedicated to supporting TTRPG players and event facilitators. We have a dedicated calendar app which we use to organize events from one-shots to series spanning months.

Supporters of our Patreon at the $4+ level have a 48-hour priority sign-up window from when events are posted. After that, anyone is welcome to sign up for sessions. Some sessions are run specifically for new players and waive that window. Full sessions have waitlists, and folks who sign up for those often end up in games.

All sessions are run using a layered set of safety tools and adhere to our
community code of conduct.

We have a dedicated Discord server for discussing and planning events on the calendar. Anyone who plays in a session with us or supports our Patreon is welcome to join.

The Open Hearth Discord server is here: https://discord.gg/kpfcuCFzzM

There’s a lot more to what we do: we offer free gaming weekends to introduce folks to online play and new games; we have free game facilitator camps; we have regular talks and seminars on gaming; and we’re working on a relaunch of our podcast. These are all freely available to everyone and made possible by the generous support of our patrons.
