Martin (Dorchester)

Seeking a gaming group

🎲 Tuesday Night RPG — Players Wanted! I’m looking to put together a regular VTT RPG night, starting Tuesday 8th September, and running every other Tuesday, 7pm–10pm. The exact game and VTT will depend on what we fancy playing. Possible systems include: ⚔️ Draw Steel — heroic fantasy, tactical combat and big cinematic encounters 🌲 Forbidden Lands — gritty exploration, survival and dangerous wilderness 🚀 Savage Worlds Sci-Fi — fast, pulpy space adventure 💀 Dungeon Crawl Classics — weird, dangerous, gloriously old-school fantasy For VTTs, I’m currently considering Fantasy Grounds, TaleSpire or The Codex, depending on the game. The idea is to have a friendly, regular group who enjoy actually playing rather than spending six weeks discussing character builds! 😄 You don't need to know any of the systems beforehand. I'll provide whatever rules/materials are needed and we'll learn as we go. When: Every other Tuesday Time: 7pm–10pm Starting: Tuesday 8th September Where: Online/VTT Experience: Beginners absolutely welcome If you're interested, let me know — particularly if one or more of those games sounds like your cup of tea. Bring dice*, imagination and a willingness to make questionable decisions in dangerous fictional worlds. Although this is VTT, I would like to keep it relatively local in case we ever want to meet in person. This will not be my first rodeo...we have been playing online for about 5 years now.

Ahoy! I'm 27, new to the area and a friendly DM (on rare occasions even a player of 5e!). Mostly looking for a group to make some good stories with. Love learning new systems if they sound like good fun too. ^-^

Ramis (Bournemouth)

Seeking a book club

Somewhat new to reading so I’m open to genres. Looking to make new friends and chat with others who enjoy reading. I’m a 21 year old dude and I’m interested in making friends around my age and in book clubs for young adults! While I am interested in hearing recommendations for all genres, I’m particularly keen on reading the literary classics that the video game “Limbus Company” derives its main cast from. So far I have read a handful of these and have enjoyed them a lot! Do contact me if you know any Bournemouth-based book clubs or just want to talk books! My Instagram is @coolramis if you’d rather contact me through non-email means.

Ramis recommends:

The Stranger

by Albert Camus | Learn more and buy

Very short but enjoyable read. Straightforward and easy to read through. Despite its short nature, the book has some very interesting ideas and contains themes relating to existentialism and absurdism which I personally found very fascinating!

Ryan (Poole)

I love meeting new people whilst playing any kind of board game. I like games with simple rules. However at our Unpixel Games Night every Monday night at 7, my collegue like really competative games. Unpixels is great as we put our phones away and meet new people every week. So Inn Weymouth Mondays 7pm
