No Apparent Reason Parties — NARPs for short — are a long standing tradition here at Destructoid. NARPs are parties hosted by Dtoiders for Dtoiders and everyone is welcome to attend a party. It’s about playing games and interacting with other people all in the name of having a good time.
March is here, and its time for more NARPs! This month brings a couple of great gaming events that you can meetup with your fellow dtoiders, as well as some new groups! Recently, the community has started up Dtoid Mexico as well as starting a resurgence of activity with Dtoid Florida! So if you are in these areas, make sure to check out the blogs and get involved!
Read on to see what NARPs are happening in Australia, Chicago, San Francisco and elsewhere!
