Frequently asked questions
Here are some common questions about our association.
1. What is the Tavern of the Weird & Wonderful?
We’re a community of game masters, players, and writers dedicated to creating, playing, and sharing tabletop roleplaying games. Our focus is on collaborative storytelling, worldbuilding, and supporting new and experienced players. We host games, workshops, and events in Amsterdam, and we rely on donations to keep our resources free and accessible.
2. What kind of games do you run?
We specialize in three main settings:
- Morea: A steampunk world where magic and technology clash, kobolds Artificers with bombs, and factions like the Red Fist pull the strings.
- Spelljammer: High fantasy in space, where ships sail the stars and every planet has its own adventure.
- Shadowrun: Amsterdam: A cyberpunk-fantasy version of Amsterdam, where magic and technology collide in the Sixth World.
We also run one-shots, homebrew campaigns, and experimental sessions—so there’s always something new to try!
3. Do I need experience to join?
Not at all! We welcome new players and GMs with open arms. We offer beginner-friendly workshops, pre-generated characters, and mentorship to help you get started. Whether you’re curious about dungeons, starships, or cyberpunk heists, we’ll guide you through your first adventure.

We prefer donations over membership fees to keep our community accessible. Here’s how you can help:

- Volunteer: Share your skills as a GM, writer, or organizer.
- Spread the Word: Follow us on social media, invite friends to our events, or share our adventures.
