About Us

Roll Models

Roll Models is dedicated to developing and maintaining Tabletop RPG groups and clubs for both kids and adults in the greater Middle Tennessee area. We believe that gaming is more than building characters; it builds character.

We consist of skilled professionals who specialize in running Tabletop RPGs, creating and organizing groups, and teaching those new to the hobby how to play. We are experienced in running many different RPG systems including D&D, Star Wars: Edge of the Empire, Fantasy Age, Kids on Bikes, Tales from the Loop, and Ten Candles just to name a few. So whether its running a game for you, managing a gaming club, or teaching you how to play, we’re ready to roll some dice.
