In the Tabletop-Network, there's room for every side of our hobby! No matter if you're young or old, whether you paint, play, collect, film, read, blog, take photos, convert, craft, sculpt or do anything else: In the Tabletop-Network you'll find like- minded people who share your part of our hobby with you. And — and everyone here really cares about this — it doesn't matter how long you've been in the hobby. Everyone can learn from everyone else, everyone has the right to ask questions. Whether you're a complete beginner who is just taking their very first miniature out of the box right now, or a veteran who's been active for thirty years and whose house is filled with dozens of display cabinets full of painted miniatures: Everyone has the same intention, namely to have fun with the hobby. And that's all that counts. So what sets the Tabletop-Network apart from other online hobby groups? Quite simple: We are far more than a virtual hobby group! We exist “for real”, because that was exactly the main reason the Tabletop-Network was founded: To create a way to meet other players, to play with them, to exchange ideas with them and to have a good time. Over the last (almost) fifteen years, some really good friendships have grown out of the Network, friendships that go far beyond just the hobby.

Social commitment is a matter of course for us. Once a year we organise the Tabletop-Network-ReRoll- Weekend all over Germany, where we invite all players to help victims of violence and crime. In the meantime, we have been able to donate well over 30,000 euros, money that directly benefits people in need. At some point, our goal was to crack the “magic” 10,000 euro donation mark just once — now we have already reached three times as much and we will continue in 2027! On behalf of all members, we would like to thank each and every one of you from the bottom of our hearts, because you and your enthusiasm are what make this extraordinary community possible in the first place. Only through each individual active member could a social media group become something that can rightly be called a “network”. And we are far from finished yet. We promise you that the Tabletop-Network will continue in the coming years to connect players, clubs, gaming groups and everyone else who loves the hobby of “tabletop”.

Welcome! We're really glad you found your way to us. In the beginning, you could only find the Tabletop-Network on Facebook. The basic idea was to bring together players, gaming groups, clubs, associations and everyone else who shares our passion for the hobby of “tabletop”. Because there's hardly a better way to keep hobby-enthusiasts connected around the clock than through this medium. That's why the Facebook group is still the heart of the Network, the place where our hobby (away from the gaming tables) “happens”. On the website you'll find everything about the Tabletop-Network. Feel free to look around. You can get to the Facebook group via the icon at the top of the page.

A fixed part of it right from the start: The TNT (“Tabletop-Network-Treffen”) in Pulheim near Cologne, which takes place once a year. A friendly, family-like weekend full of miniatures, games, hobby talk and lots of nice guys (and girls!). At the TNT you can finally meet the people you usually only talk to via Facebook. Unfortunately, three meetings fell victim to the Corona crisis, among other things, but in 2023 we carried on with full enthusiasm! Of course, the Tabletop-Network comes with no costs and / or obligations for you. There is of course neither an admission or membership fee, nor monthly subscriptions or any other nonsense. We also don't expect any dodgy “donations”. The Tabletop-Network is an institution created and shaped by hobbyists for hobbyists, without any commercial interests. We are fundamentally independent of manufacturers and retailers, and proud of it.

The Network lives and breathes through you: The tabletop-crazy people who are ready to share their hobby. That's why we only ask one thing of you: If you like our community, then get involved. Take part in our ReRoll-Weekend, visit meet-ups and conventions, get to know us in person at the TNT and show us YOUR part of the hobby. Because THAT is, in our eyes, what makes the Tabletop- Network what it is. Welcome to one big family!

We'd like to thank over 7,500 members! On 11 June 2012, the Tabletop-Network was founded as a Facebook group, although it wasn't called that at first. At the beginning, the idea was to connect players and clubs from North Rhine-Westphalia, so the Network back then still had the cute name “Tabletopforum NRW”. At first, our little group only consisted of a handful of members and none of us expected to reach much more than a few dozen active players — if that. Luckily, we were massively wrong about that! It didn't take long before we had members not only beyond the borders of the state, but even beyond the borders of Germany, and the original name simply didn't fit anymore. So it was time to give the child a new name and a new direction: The Tabletop-Network was born! Our proverbial door-to-door work has borne fruit and today, almost fifteen years later, the Network is a large community that is hard to imagine the German-speaking tabletop scene without, and that gives many people the opportunity to enthuse and inspire their friends every single day. And not only that. We help people in need.
