The Blokes
Welcome to RPG Blokes! We’re Mark, Barry, Jon, and Stephen—four middle-aged mates from London with decades of experience in roleplaying games. Our mission? Helping other middle-aged newcomers step into the world of RPGs—whether it’s Dungeons & Dragons, Call of Cthulhu, or any other tabletop adventure.
For years, we’ve introduced people to RPGs in our local community, running one of London’s largest weekly RPG clubs. Now, we’re bringing that same friendly, no-nonsense guidance to you. We know that starting out can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve never played before or haven’t rolled dice since the 80s. That’s why we focus on breaking down the basics, sharing real insights, and making sure you know what to expect from your first game and beyond.
