Ronald (Grays Thurrock)

Seeking a book club

I am a retired banker and IT specialist who started tracing his family history 10 years ago. I have researched my family extensively and have started writing a series of books about them. One has just been published whilst another is currently going through the editing process. I'm seeking to share my experiences with others who might have similar inclinations and to market my output.

Nacho (Grays Thurrock)

Seeking a gaming group

Hi, I'm a Game Designer looking for players to join me and play my TTRPG. The game is a mix of Sci-Fi and Fantasy. It's in the future, but everything is fueled and works with magic. The game is quite irreverent (there's swearing) and it doesn't take itself seriously. Imagine D&D mixed with Star Wars, Mad Max and directed by Tarantino. The idea is to have a relaxing and fun experience, ideally a 4 hours game, once a week. I can accommodate. Ideally looking for about 3 to 5 players. People of all genders and backgrounds are welcome. If you are interested, please let me know.
