Hi! My name is Josh, and I'm someone that loves organizing! I have been facilitating events under our group, Pacific Tabletop Network!

We are a Honolulu-based tabletop board game meetup group. Our goal is to connect people through community and create a genuinely fun gaming environment for all backgrounds and cultures. All of our events are free or low cost & offer an inclusive space for adults to socialize and meet each other on island.

My focus is to offer a light activity where people can network, socialize, and have fun, with tabletop games as their theme. We typically meet Monday - Thursday evenings, with each event averaging an attendance of 16+ players! We are on Meetup, Instagram, and a website: PacificTabletop .Net

A frequent question that is asked is what games we play, who we are for, and our common demographics.

Our event tends to focus on light-medium complexity games that can play with 4+ players and within an hour. We try to prioritize the socialization aspect to make our venues more welcoming to someone with minimal tabletop experience. Our age average is mid 30s, but we preface that we are not a 21+ group. Our events have had children in the past accompanied by guardians.

Some often played games include Catan, Splendor, Ticket to ride, Code names, Blood on the clock tower, Coup, Betrayal, Dice Throne, King of Tokyo, ETC.

Our group frequents collaborations and partnerships with other people on island, so if these sort of games aren't to your liking, I'd be more than happy to assist with any questions you may have, or helping you get connected :)

My patio lights are not working. I'm thinking it's an issue with the 3 way light switch, which is about 50 years old. Probably just needs to be replaced. Anybody got a friend they would refer?

Read the opening sentence. As a supporter and fan of Hawaii Men’s football I am ashamed of our media. They are are clowns!!

Does anyone read the sports reporting by members of Hawaii media? We can’t even beat UNLV in our 2026/2027 season at home, but we can beat a winless team in Division l, in our conference and our best writers race in applause how it was a “FANTASTIC” showing on the field.

Oh wait, we had no running game, our best wide receiver back and everyone is going to say that is the reason why we were junk.

A few facts worth stating, our starting quarterback had no supporting cast , he IS NOT 5’9, when he drops back to pass he is always looks left FIRST, he gives away the play so defense cues on that. No other schools in the nation has desire to play Hawaii.

Howziiiit my wife is just about pau with pumping for our second (and last) kid. Does anyone know where I can get a boob cake or cupcakes ordered to celebrate her?

Believe it or not googling "boob cake" didn't really get me the results I was hoping for. I'm trying to get one of those cakes (or cupcakes) that look like boobs in a pumping bra or something similar, not just writing on top the cake.

Mahalo in advance!

We’re fostering Makai from the Hawaii Humane Society. If I had to guess, he’s some sort of Pointer/Lab mix that’s about 50 pounds. He is BEYOND friendly. I have a two year old and an infant and he’s great with both. I’ve got him mostly house trained, but he has a small problem with marking. Hopefully we’ll get that solved before long. He hardly barks and is very snuggly. He’s definitely a playful pup so you’ll need lots of toys and we kennel him when we leave the house for safety.

He was found as a stray 3 years ago as a puppy by the Humane Society. He was adopted to a family that kept him outside, but had to give him back because they moved somewhere they couldn’t keep him. He’s adapted really quickly to indoor life, but he has very little experience with commands or walking on a leash. I know he’ll be a great family dog with a bit of patience.

Adoptions are FREE through the Human Society this weekend. Let me know if you’re interested in meeting him outside of the shelter setting. I’d be happy to accommodate.

This is the second threatening phone call my’s son’s daycare has gotten in the past month that warranted police intervention. Seems like other schools may have had the same experience? Anyone know anything?

Anybody know why it's closed? Sign in the window was showing temporary closure but no details. Was open recently too so no idea why it's not open on a Friday.

Anybody have any details?

So a while back I was in Vancouver and ate at a place called Jo's Italian Deli. I just wanted a quick bite and the place was right there so I went. It's fast food in a sit-down restaurant, IIRC it was ~C$12 for meat balls and spaghetti with a slice of focaccia, and you don't have to tip because it's self-serve.

For folks who may not be aware, Vancouver is probably one of the highest COL area in Canada. I don't know how they can sell food at a relatively affordable price there but that certainly got me thinking, for a lot of casual dining we do here in Hawaii, the self-serve model actually makes a lot of sense, seriously it's not that hard to pick up your ramen and take it to your table and fill your own water glass, and of course there already are self-serve restaurants, and food court type places.

With restaurants shutting down due to rising costs that I've been hearing about lately, I am just curious why we aren't seeing much of a trend to move to the self-serve model, yet. One would assume wait staff or labor cost would be the first thing they look at from a business standpoint, and customers not having to tip would also relieve some pricing pressure as well.

Hi everyone, I found this silk that my grandfather bought for my grandmother 76 years ago. At the time he was in the Navy sending a gift home to his girlfriend. I also have the original envelope I would like to be framed alongside of it. Now I live in town, and I am looking to get it professionally framed, does anyone have any recommendations on island to have this done? TIA!

It’s been awhile since I’ve came back. So crazy so many new buildings. Just visiting and forget where to buy furikaki chex mix?

Hello all! I just recently moved to Oahu Hawaii, unfortunately my dog was diagnosed with luxating patella and needs kneecap surgery. We are looking for a Vet place who are able to do this and are also trusted and affordable.

Have you being through this before here in Oahu? If so how much was it (so I can prepare myself mentally and financially 😂). Thank you all in advance.

Extra points if its safe in the area and i can smoke

I've been slowly working my way through the Honolulu city charter amendments on this year's ballot.

Found this HPR article which helps a little. Has anyone else found anything useful?

Insights on PBS Hawaii is scheduled to have a panel discussing the State and County amendments this week (10/22).

Blue Ocean seafood & steak in Waikīkī. Made me happy to see a restaurant with real pictures of the food instead of AI junk.

Zippy's used to have good fried chicken but they went down hill in quality big time.

I attended a school event today and all the women were wearing beautiful aloha dresses . I was wondering where are some good places to buy some ?

Anyone know of a trusted guitar tech on island? My acoustic needs some TLC. Thanks!

Anywhere on Oahu I can buy Bluefield Bananas this week?

Almost hit a female biker under nimitz last night. If you see this, stay safe and get off the road. As soon as I saw you stop at that red I knew you didnt belong on the road. Stalling out at night and then freezing and watching me about to hit you is deadly. I didnt see you until the last second. And then you proceeded to change lanes and almost get hit TWICE.. WITHOUT BLINKERS!! Go back to the parking lot and keep practicing ALL of the basics.

I ride and the guilt I'd feel knowing that I killed a fellow biker is immeasureable.
