Hello again Dames and Allies! This month we’re transitioning to a new format for our monthly socials! The lovely folks at Bento Miso have been generous enough to let us run our event out of their space, which means we won’t have the seating arrangement problems we’ve had from having just TOO MANY DANG AWESOME LADIES in one place at a time like at...

JAMuary is a mere 10 days away from completion! Participants are really starting to crunch on their games, which are as varied and interesting as the women making them.

Even more exciting: we’ll be making a big DMG-related announcement at this event! Please...

Greetings Dames and Allies! You may have noticed the site has undergone a major makeover and now includes more content – check out our Calendar and Philosophy pages! The last pub night was a rousing success – drinks were had, new faces came out, and the night ended in a dance party. Couldn’t ask for a lot more than that! Thanks so much to all of...
