There are more tabletop players in your city than you think — they're just scattered across Facebook groups, Reddit threads, and Discord servers. DiceGather brings them into one place so you can say yes, let's play.
- Free on iOS & Android
- No ads, no tracking
- Privacy-first by design
How it works
From character sheet to shared table in three steps.
Step 01Post a meetup intent
Pick the game, a time window, and a rough spot on the map. Thirty seconds, tops.
Step 02Discover nearby games
See intents on the map. Gold markers are yours, green are joined, neutral are open.
Step 03Join, chat, and play
Tap to join and you're in the group chat. Confirm the plan, then meet at the table.
Why we built this
There are players in your city. They just don't know about each other.
Local tabletop scenes stay small because nobody has a single place to find each other. DiceGather is that place.
Scattered across a dozen platforms
Tabletop players hang out in Facebook groups, subreddits, Discord servers, and local forums. None of them talk to each other.
Active players you'll never meet
There may be 30 D&D, board game, and wargame players within a 15-minute drive. Without a shared place, you don't know they exist.
No clear way to say “I’m free Sunday”
Group chats bury who's actually available. Without an explicit “yes, let's play” signal, the fourth seat stays empty.
What the app does
Everything you need, nothing you don't.
Six features that turn vague “we should play sometime” into Saturday night around a table — with privacy and host moderation built in underneath.
New · Nearby players
You're not alone, even before the map fills up.
See how many players are around you at a glance, and who is already hosting. It's social proof for your city, built without ever tracking anyone.
- A live count of players within 5 to 60 miles of you.
- Anyone hosting an active meetup floats to the top with a badge.
- Distances come from city centers — no GPS, no precise radius shown.
- Tap a card to open a profile and start a direct message.
Privacy by design
Intent, not surveillance.
DiceGather helps people say “yes, let's play,” not “here's where I live.” Privacy is a core product promise, not a compliance checkbox.

We don't store or show where you are right now. Ever.
City-level only
You pick a general area during onboarding. No precise coordinates are stored per user.
Meetups are not you
Map pins are for meetup intents you create, not your personal location.
Purpose-limited
Location is used to show relevant nearby meetups. It isn't sold, shared, or used for ads.
