What is The Gopher?

We are an amalgamation of solutions to tabletop problems, but actually we are just the next in a long line of succession of Gophers who have been running our beloved local tabletop scene in Urbana Illinois!



We actually do a lot of different things, so you may see the following odd Gopher Subfactions:

Gopher Games; Our beloved storefront and gaming space. All are welcome here. You will also find our convention team at Adepticon, Origins, and GenCon.
