Quevin.Druid99 (Wokingham)

Seeking a gaming group

I'm a young adult looking for something to do on my weekends even if it is once a month, I'd like to take part in a dnd campaign in wokingham. I had a few ideas so far for campaigns but I wouldn't like to be the dungeon master. I love the idea of playing druid or a magical class and using a rapier as a weapon. Some of my ideas for campaigns if anyone is interested in running them : a disney campaign with a twist where disney characters all live in a post apocalyptic world and all of them have a twist or a campaign where after killing certain monsters the whole team takes a break to cook (real life) what we just gathered.

Cat (Reading)

Seeking a book club

I’ve just gotten back into reading and absolutely in love with fantasy and romance. I’d love to join a book group to meet new people who share the same love for books.

Effie (Bracknell)

Seeking a book club

I joined a friend of mine for her book club down in Brighton, loved it so much I’d like to join my own. Looking for other young women (I’m mid 20s) who enjoy reading and would be up for meeting to chat over brunch or something. My favourite book I’ve read this year is between All Fours, Miranda July or The Testament, Margaret Atwood.

Sharon (Wokingham)

Seeking a gaming group

I enjoy worker placement, engine building, resource management games such as Rajas of the Ganges, Everdell, fantastic factories, cosmocotopus, Splendor but give most games a try. Looking for local boardgame groups / boardgamers

Bookaddict (Windsor)

Seeking a book club

I like good writing and I like a good murder mystery (but not the violent kind - give me a nice polite murder any time). Also like funny/witty books and non-fiction (particularly history). The one thing I don't read is "celebrity" biography but, otherwise, never happier than when the pile of books beside my bed is so high it's in danger of toppling

Bookaddict recommends:

The Poisoned Chocolates Case

by Anthony Berkeley | Learn more and buy

Beautifully written and plotted quite brilliantly. So clever. So very clever. BUT, if you get hold of the British Library Crime Classics edition, I recommend you close the book where Berkeley stops writing and ignore the denouements added by later editors.

Michael (Wokingham)

Seeking a gaming group

Played lots of 2e, WoD, Shadowrun in my teens in the 90s. Now in middle age I have recently restarted running a 5e Forgotten Realms campaign with my two adult kids. I'm inexperienced DM-ing the 5e system but loving it so far! There are lots of ways to play D&D depending on emphasis, from a quite rules-heavy strategy game to a free-flowing fantasy story with occasional rules checks - I'm probably more at the latter end. Open to playing or DM-ing something or just getting to know some friendly local RPG folk.

Hannah (Newbury)

Seeking a book club

Having rediscovered reading a couple of years ago i'm eager to meet new people and talk all things books. Romance and Fantasy predominantly (I'm a sucker for enemies to lovers) but open to all genres and tropes.

Brad (Reading)

Seeking a gaming group

I enjoy all types of TTRPG's. From sci-fi to fantasy. I have spent over 20 years as a gamemaster primarily and less frequently as a player and I would be happy to join a group as a GM or a player.

Lily (Reading)

This book is heartbreaking. Sobbed uncontrollably in the best way possible. The writing f is poetic and gorgeous <3

The song of achilles

by Madeline miller | Learn more and buy

A popular book for a reason, this book got me into reading.

Young mungo

by Douglas Stuart | Learn more and buy

Similar to my love for shuggie Bain. This book is painful and moving.

Andy (Maidenhead)

Seeking a gaming group

I have been playing computer games for 30+ years and also when was younger played tabletop games like Hero Quest, Axis and Allies, etc (but as you get older then hard to find groups) - I have been looking to get into Imperial Assault (got all the setup but just painted, which is my hobby) or any dice based Role Playing Game, but have zero experience. Looking for a group to play with but needs to be mature adults.

Jay (Bracknell)

The Handmaids Tale

by Margret Atwood | Learn more and buy

I read this in sixth form and enjoyed it very much. It’s disturbing but also tackles real world issues which I think is very important!

Katie (Bracknell)

Seeking a book club

I’m 19, looking to join a book club with my friend (see post below). We ideally want something casual and relaxed, to make new friends and have a nice activity to do together. Personally I am open to any genre but I tend to lean towards fantasies :-)

Jerrisha (Bracknell)

Seeking a book club

I’m 19 looking to join a book club with my friend. I’m open to any genre feel free to contact me :)

Sam (Bracknell)

Seeking a book club

I like biographies, thrillers, classics - to be honest not many genres I don't like as long as the book is engaging. I would like to connect with others so I can chat about the books I am reading, not many in my immediate circle of friends are really into books much.

Sam recommends:

Taste - my life through food

by Stanley Tucci | Learn more and buy

Not just the story of his life and his Italian family, but also the recipes that he occasionally puts in - I am into cooking as well.

False Alarm

by Bjorn Lomberg | Learn more and buy

Very intriguing book about the false advertising of climate change activists and media, full of science and alternative solutions. I've not finished it yet, but so far very eye opening.

MillieB (Slough)

Role played when I was 13 years old. I am 50 years old now! Did D&D, Warhammer fantasy roleplay & Dragon Warriors. Looking to participate in an Al Qadim or Arabian Nights rpg as a player. Free in Weekends. Would consider online sessions.

Bee (Ascot)

Seeking a book club

I’m a huge fan of the supernatural, thanks to the wicked stories my Gran used to tell when I was little. I’m looking to join a casual club since I won’t be able to meet regularly. I enjoy meeting new people, and reading books that expand the mind. It always makes for a good time!

Dave (Bracknell)

Seeking a gaming group

Gamesmaster running a Fate game re-tooled to fit a neo-Victorian cyberpunk setting. Have two current Players with characters and looking for possible third and forth. Have just started new campaign. If using Facebook I can add you to the Victorianeo group to get a sense of the atmosphere, but the story is under wraps! Central Bracknell.

Soph (Bracknell)

Seeking a book club

There isn't enough time in the day to read! I'll always have a book to hand and my favourite genre completely depends on my mood. I'd love to join a book group to discuss my favourite reads but also to dig into something I might not have picked otherwise!
