What is Valley of the Sun Meetup?

I bet a lot of you are wondering what Valley of the Sun Meetup is, especially since I have it plastered all over the side of my blog. Those of you who haven’t visited the site yet are really missing out on the opportunity to promote your own games and to find others around Phoenix. No gimmicks or people trying to sell you stuff here.

Valley of the Sun RPG Meetup is a gaming group based out of Phoenix, Arizona which specializes in RPGs. They also promote board gaming, Magic the Gathering and other Geeky events around the valley. The best part of the  group is that it is FREE TO JOIN! That’s right, the organization was founded and is run by fellow gamers who believe finding people to game with should be fun and remain free for everyone.

What are all the benefits for joining?

Promote Your Own Games – Did you just get the latest D&D book and are looking for fellow adventurers to share in your enthusiasm and venture through your story?
