About us

Kia Ora! I’m Patrick, Founder of Venture Roleplaying and an avid believer in play for all ages! Venture Roleplaying aims to bring the joys of creating and telling stories with others to your front door. As an extrovert myself, I want to help others feel the joy of being around people.

Venture Roleplaying was founded in 2023 with the aim of providing a safe space to learn social skills and connect with others with similar interests. I am using play based learning which I have developed during my experiences as a teacher and disability advocate. My favorite game to form friendships and build connections is Dungeons and Dragons. 

Since I started participating in role playing games in 2017, I found fulfillment in the different ways I could express my creativity and in experiencing how others would use them as their creative outlet. After years of seeing this fulfillment in others, I decided to take my passion and turn it into my work.

Venture Roleplaying is based in Waikato and wants to remove any barriers you may have when it comes to playing games with others. This includes teaching others to run their own game, coming in to facilitate clubs and groups or running a private game for you and your friends. We are available to run games all days of the week from 9 am to 10 pm. 

We aim to please and are happy to make adjustments so if you are unsure if this fits for you, please feel free to give us a call! We love to share about our hobbies and want nothing more than for you to experience it.
