Twenty Sided™ is a Native and Woman owned business supported by an amazing team with magical familiars.
Bringing people together through games since 2011, Twenty Sided™ welcomes everyone to join our community, participate in our events, and visit our shop. Our home is in Brooklyn, and our family spans the world.
Lauren, co-founder and owner of Twenty Sided, is a natural born Storyteller. She didn’t know Dungeons & Dragons was a game until she was in her 20s, but she has been roleplaying her whole life. She has lived in the same building on the same block in Williamsburg since 1999. When she isn’t creating unique experiences, she is catching up with friends, reading sci-fi books, and making art. Outside the store, you can find her enjoying a cold brewed iced coffee in the back of The West Brooklyn, combing the racks at Beacon’s Closet for the perfect jumpsuit, or catching a date night movie at Nitehawk Cinema with her partner, Luis.
Arrow, best known from her appearance on our business cards, loves sunshine, peace and quiet, and sitting on Lauren’s hands while she is working. Originally small enough to fit into a shoebox, she now carries three cats worth of cat hair on her.
Luis is one of Twenty Sided's founders and owners. He hails from the desert southwest of Albuquerque, NM and has lived in NYC for the last 14 years after moving here on a whim. When Luis isn't doing Magic Pack 1 Pick 1s, he is probably listening to some long forgotten 80s thrash band or waxing poetically about New Mexico green chile. If you're in the neighborhood, definitely check out M Shanghai and get an order of Soup Dumplings! Also check out Book Thug Nation and Human Relations for a good recommendation on a used paperback (owned by a fellow RPG player and family friend).
Ayra (RIP) was a multi-talented go-getter whose hobbies included playing games, watching humans eat, more playtime, sneak attacks, and lounging in game boxes on the table during game night.She will always be remembered.
Jill is an improviser, video editor, fantasy fan, and board game. That's right she herself is a life-sized game of Operation, brand new and never played. She loves how games bring people together and give us all something to do with our hands while chit chatting. Her favorite game is Quantum (long out of print, tragically), but she’s always ready to explain why it’s the best game you’ll never play.

Sacco is not dead, he just belongs to her old roommate in Atlanta GA. Sacco, named for ICarly (not Avatar: the Last Airbender) as Jill incorrectly thought for years, set the bar high for any future cats. He meowed a fun amount, slept on her lap through the night, had a fascinating dating life, and co-starred in Jill's short film. Jill thinks about Sacco every day. Jill considered stealing him but knew it would probably come back to hurt her, or god forbid, Sacco.
Alex promised he would tell you all about himself when he gets a chance. In the meantime you can head on down to Twenty Sided and visit him in the shop or join him for a SideQuest adventure.
