About

There and back again — in card form. Magic's Hobbit set brings Middle-earth to the table: Bilbo, Gandalf, Smaug, the One Ring. Prerelease is where you play before the set is officially out. Six packs, one deck, complete strangers. Show up alone and leave with three new friends who also hate losing to Smaug.

Today · Jun 1 Spikes Lounge, 5211 East Washingto…

D&D Adventurers League — Weekly Sessions at Temecula

In 2 days · Jun 3 GameStar Hobbies, 27380 Jefferson …

GameStar Hobbies, 27380 Jefferson Ave, Temecula. June 4th and every week. The D&D Adventurers League at GameStar — the ongoing organized play program that opens a seat at the table to anyone who walks through the door, whether you've been playing for twenty years or have never rolled a d20 in your life. Adventurers League is the format that removes the biggest barrier to tabletop RPG: finding a group. You don't need to know anyone. You don't need to have a campaign. You bring a character — or build one at the table — and join the session already in progress. The stories accumulate across weeks, the characters grow, and the table at GameStar in Temecula becomes the place you spend Wednesday evenings when you'd rather be in a dungeon. dnd.wizards.com/adventurers-league for character creation and campaign details. June 4th at GameStar Hobbies, and every week after. The Temecula tabletop community is real and welcoming — the kind of table where a first-time player and a veteran share the same session and both find something worth coming back for. Show up. The dungeon is already in there waiting.

D&D Adventurers League — Game Empire SD

In 3 days · Jun 4 Free / $5 suggested 7052 Miramar Rd, San Diego, CA 921…

Dungeons and Dragons Adventurers League at Game Empire San Diego is organized play for the person who wants to run a character through a real campaign without needing to already know a Dungeon Master or a regular group. You walk in, pick up a pre-generated character sheet or bring your own AL-legal character, and join a table already in progress or at the start of a new adventure. DMs are provided. Dice are available. The only prerequisite is showing up. Adventurers League removes every barrier to tabletop RPG play that isn't already at the table. No group required. No campaign setup required. No years of lore to catch up on. The adventures are designed to run in a single session with a beginning and an end, which means you're never showing up to episode forty of something you missed the start of. You play a complete story. You come back next week if you want to keep going. Game Empire San Diego is at 7052 Miramar Rd, San Diego. gameempire.com for the weekly schedule and table availability. Character creation guidelines at dnd.wizards.com/adventurers-league. New players are not just tolerated here — this format was designed for them.

Pokemon TCG Friday Night Draft — TCS Rockets

In 3 days · Jun 4 7626 Miramar Rd Suite 3900, San Di…

Pokemon TCG draft night at TCS Rockets is the Friday format that resets the playing field. You don't bring your tournament deck. You don't need one. The draft format builds your pool from packs opened at the table — everyone gets the same number of packs, you draft the cards in real time, you build a 40-card deck from what you picked, and you play. Your constructed collection doesn't matter. Your ability to read signals and build under pressure does. TCS Rockets runs these every Friday, which means the table is a mix: the longtime competitive players who use draft to stay sharp, the newer players who find the format more accessible than Standard, and the people who just like cracking packs with other people who know what they're looking at. The energy is competitive but not grim. The Friday crowd is the friendliest version of this game. TCS Rockets is at 7626 Miramar Rd, Suite 3900, San Diego. tcsrockets.com for entry fee and current set details. Prizes for top finishers. Show up ready to draft.

Summer Game Fest 2026

In 4 days · Jun 5 – Jun 8 Dolby Theatre, 6801 Hollywood Blvd…

Dolby Theatre, 6801 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, CA. June 5th, 2026. Summer Game Fest takes the building where the Oscars happen and fills it with the games industry's mid-year announcement moment. Every major publisher and many independent studios use this event to release trailers, gameplay reveals, and release date announcements to a room that is simultaneously the most attentive gaming audience in the world. SGF is where the E3-shaped hole in the gaming calendar now lives. The show streams globally, but the audience in the Dolby Theatre experiences the announcements before the internet processes them — the reactions happen in real time, with the people around you, before the takes arrive. A trailer reveal in that room is the announcement, not the broadcast of it. If you're in the industry, this is the room where the year's games landscape becomes visible. If you follow gaming closely, attending in person is the experience that the stream approximates but doesn't replicate. summergamefest.com for registration options and the associated public events that run throughout the June 5th-6th window in Hollywood. The conversation that happens in the hours after the show is part of it.

San Diego Symphony — Summer Pops at The Rady Shell 2026

In 4 days · Jun 5 – Sep 19 The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park, 222…

The San Diego Symphony's Summer Pops season at The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park brings world-class orchestral music to the San Diego waterfront for a series of outdoor concerts running June through September 2026. The Rady Shell — an acoustically engineered open-air performance venue on the waterfront at Jacobs Park — provides a stunning setting for the Symphony's summer season with San Diego Bay visible beyond the audience. The Summer Pops programming spans the full range from classical masterworks to pops concerts featuring Broadway music, film scores, jazz, and popular artists performing with orchestral accompaniment. The variety makes the summer season accessible to audiences who aren't regular classical concertgoers while delivering the full orchestral experience that the Symphony's musician quality supports. The Rady Shell's outdoor format is distinctly family-friendly — picnic blankets, lawn chairs, and the relaxed atmosphere of the waterfront park contrast with the formality of indoor concert halls. The adjacent Jacobs Park lawn allows families to spread out while the children remain within range of the music. Food and wine are available from vendors on-site. The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park is located at 222 Park Blvd in downtown San Diego, walkable from the Embarcadero and accessible via MTS Trolley (Convention Center station). Parking in the downtown convention center structures. Individual concert tickets and season subscriptions available through the San Diego Symphony website.

SoCal Gaming Expo 2026

In 5 days · Jun 6 – Jun 7 Pasadena Convention Center, 300 E …

SoCal Gaming Expo takes the Pasadena Convention Center June 6-7, 2026 — two full days of free-play arcade, 200-plus vendor tables, and the specific joy of holding cartridges and controllers you haven't touched since childhood. This is a retro gaming show at its core, but that label undersells it. The vendor floor runs old-school SNES carts next to Japanese import Famicom titles, limited-run indie releases, vintage arcade PCBs, and anime merch that crosses over with the gaming collection. The free-play arcade is the heart of it — classic cabinets lined up and running, no tokens, no lines, just walk up and play. Pac-Man, Galaga, Donkey Kong, Street Fighter II. The sound alone takes you back. The Pasadena Convention Center is a manageable size, which means you can actually spend time talking to vendors instead of shuffling through a river of bodies. Parking beneath the convention center. Doors open at 10 AM both days. This is the show where people walk in planning to browse and walk out carrying a bag.

You found your people.

They didn't know each other before Falkor either.
