About Us

Hello! Welcome to We Geek Together! We are a tavern unlike any you have seen before, Our tavern offers open play and DM-hosted games of D&D, allowing D&D parties to have an easily-accessible place to play D&D and just Geek Out! This way, players can take their game from their mother’s basement into the open world.

In order to make this tavern a reality, we couldn’t do it alone. We reached out to local artisans to support their work and allow them a space to sell their geeky wares. This includes some of our own leather-crafted armor, LARP weapons, D&D environment candles and so much more. We are a community of geeks creating a safe environment for all geeks, or those who are interested in learning more about D&D. We welcome all, new and experienced, to enter our tavern.

Create your fantasy. Live the adventure.

Our mission statement is Create your fantasy. Live the adventure.  We love helping people have amazing experiences with tabletop gaming and everything adjacent to it.

The Story of We Geek Together

The Ashby Family

We are the Ashby Family; our family has been raised by geeks. Even as kids, our family was willing to show our geeky side to the world -from themed costumes to family LARPs in the woods. Here is a little of our Geeky History:

Our family has always had a love for all things geeky, from LOTR, Star Wars, and Harry Potter to D&D. Everyone started developing different interests, such as leather crafting, 3D printing, and D&D -of course. Despite everyone's different interests, we all found a way to still geek together.

Humble Beginnings

We Geek Together was officially formed; and, in early summer of 2020, we had our first booth space in Evermore park.

We sold many of our handmade products like leather armor, leather and cloth face masks, and a variety of 3D-printed tabletop accessories. Over the next 2 years, we developed our personality and products. We started getting to know the geek community and got to meet many other small businesses -whom we very quickly made friends with, such as Sea Dragon Cove, GMDICE, and many other small vendors.

We realized that We Geek Together was not just a family term, but grew into a community that was 'Geeking' together.

First Store Opening

In 2022, Our small business outgrew our humble fold-out table. We reserved booths at the Renaissance Faire, Fan-X, and many local events. Shortly after, we started advertising on social media platforms like TikTok. Many in the D&D community showed their support.

This support allowed us to open our geek tavern in the Provo Towne Centre Mall on November 19th of 2022.

Merging with SeaDragon Cove

It was at Evermore that the Ashbys met Nate and Jennifer Mellen, who also ran a vendor booth called SeaDragon Cove.  They sold 3D-printed dragons, ocarinas, laser-engraved coasters and decor, and leather snap hair wraps.

Jennifer is an award-winning illustrator with a creative mind bursting with ideas and Nate is a charismatic and captivating salesman with many entrepreneurial instincts. Together, they make a great team!

They and their family are also geeks: lovers of Brandon Sanderson, Phineas and Ferb, and Harry Potter -to name just a few.

It was a match made in heaven (or Evermore) for SeaDragon and We Geek Together to officially work together. The two companies merged on August 1, 2023.

Merging with Game Master Dice and Valiant Candle

Game Master Dice (GMDice) has been in business since 2008, selling polyhedral dice and other tabletop gaming accessories.

Kevin, the owner of GMDice, made a great leap forward in 2019 with the development of scented candles specifically made to improve the immersive quality and experience of playing tabletop role-playing games.

The candles proved to be a great success! With scents like Wizard's Library, Dragon's Blood, and Dwarven Tavern; they helped distinguish the company in the geek market (and it was a lot of fun coming up with new designs, too!).

The Ashby family reached out to Kevin and asked to sell the candles in their booth at Evermore, then (later) at the store in the mall.

Kevin's sister, Shauna, her husband, Rob, and their kids were visiting him from Maryland, and he showed them the candle business.  He showed them how to make candles and everybody got to make one. It was a lot of fun, and they wanted to do it more! So, the two families created a new business: Valiant Candle Company, which made candles for tabletop games, books, movies, and other stuff that they liked to geek out together on. Shauna and Rob (and their kids) moved to Utah for work in 2025, but Valiant continues to fulfill orders all over the world and to develop new products.

On April 1, 2024, Valiant Candle and GMDice officially merged with We Geek Together, becoming part of the greater geek family as well.

And Thank You!

Regardless of our locations -whether in our physical store location, or at our fold-out table, we do our best to draw people into an experience through leather crafts, unique dice sets, or atmospheric geek candles. We do all we can to make playing a great experience, with TTRPG tables in our store or online games through diceoutpost.com.

We heartily agree that the rising tide floats all boats, and we strive to work to help other quality artisans. This is where ‘We Geek Together’ takes on a whole new meaning: we love our collaborations with local artisans like Chris of 3D Cloud Print, the Mellens of SeaDragon Cove, weapon craft designed by Ravensmoon, tidbits by The Feathered Alchemist, real honey mead bottled by NightRaven Beverage Co, wares by Shielded Empire, candles care of GMDice and Valiant, works by Brandon the Blacksmith, awesome creations of Caden of Dwarven Fire, and many more.

So: we invite everyone to ‘Geek Together’ with us as we strive to help you ‘create your fantasy’ through our leather costuming and ‘live the adventure’ through our gaming establishment.
