How TRS game days work
Tokyo Roleplaying Society runs regular tabletop-RPG game days: one-shot games you can join with or without an account.
What's a game day?
A game day is an in-person event with one or more time periods (afternoon, evening…). Each period has tables ("slots") where GMs run one-shot games — no experience or preparation needed unless the game says otherwise.
Joining a game
Browse the games, pick one, and hit Join. Signing in takes under a minute (email magic link, Discord, or Tavern) and means you get reminders, waitlist updates, and cancellation notices. Bringing a friend? GMs can allow guests, and organizers can add walk-ins at the venue.
Full games & waitlists
If a game is full you can join the waitlist. When a seat opens you're confirmed automatically, in order — you'll get an email and an in-app notification.
Want to run a game?
Anyone can GM! Open the GM Portal, pick an open slot, and submit your game. An organizer reviews it, and once approved you can release it to players. English, Japanese, and bilingual tables are all welcome.
Tickets & special events
Most game days are free and open. Some special events (like conventions) require a ticket — those pages show a notice and a link to get one.
At the table
Be kind, help newcomers, and support the venue (order a drink!). If you can't make it, cancel early so waitlisted players get your seat. GMs may use safety tools — check each game's content notes.
Common questions
I approved a game — why isn't it public yet?
Approving and releasing are two separate steps. Approve moves the game out of the review queue, then someone presses Release on the game's page to make it public and announce it. The game's own GM or an organizer can release it — the extra step lets GMs polish the listing before it goes live.
How do I delete a game that was already approved or released?
Use the Delete game button — it's on the game's page, on the GM Portal's Your games list, and in the organizers' release queue. It works at any stage, frees up the slot for another GM, and automatically notifies any players who had joined. The button is visible to the game's GM and to organizers.
I can't make it — how do I give up my seat?
Open the game's page and press Leave. Your seat goes to the first person on the waitlist automatically. Please cancel as early as you can — some events lock cancellations in the final hours before the game starts, and after that you'll need to message the GM or an organizer.
Why should I verify my email?
A verified email lets us match you to ticketed and members-only events, and makes sure reminders, waitlist promotions, and cancellation notices actually reach you. If you signed in with a magic link you're already verified; Discord and LINE sign-ins can add and verify an email from the profile page.
How do I change my name, photo, or intro?
Click your avatar in the top-right and choose Profile. You can set your display name, photo, a short self-intro, social handles, and play-style tags — those appear on your public member page.
What happens if a game or event is cancelled?
Everyone who joined gets an in-app notification (and an email where possible) right away. If the wider game day is still on, you can pick another open table on the same page.
