Sami (Braintree)
Seeking a book club
Hi, I'm a 28 year old who has recently moved to Braintree and am looking to make friends in a relatively low stakes way in the local area (Primarily Witham, Braintree and surrounding villages, but as books can be discussed over text, I'm open to hearing from a wider area). I'm not great at socialising initially so I thought 'Hey, I love reading books, if somebody in a simillar situation wants to recc me a book or recieve a book recc in return and we could discuss it, that would be a nice chill way to start a rapport over a shared interest. I primarily like science fiction and fantasy but I'll read pretty much anything, especially if you give me a reccomendation of it. I'm currently reading the Dungeon Crawler Carl series and although I think it starts off a bit edgy and over the top, I have to say I really like how it develops and especially its world building. I can talk about world building for hours. I have also posted on the tabletop sister site and do watch seasonal anime with my wife, so if you wanna chat about what's currently airing or reach out to me regarding a game night, please feel free to.

28 years old, recently moved to the area and looking to make new friends of simillar ages in Braintree, Witham and surrounding villages. I have plenty of my own board games that I need more excuses to play, and am a forever DM with limited player experience looking for a reason to learn 5.5e should the oppurtunity arise, certainly could be convinced into DMing again for an IRL session, but it would take familiarity first - I don't want to get straight back into it. Just really looking to get to meet a few people in a chill low stakes environment, and go from there :)

My partner and myself are looking for a DnD group (very much first time players, but we have some of the books and done some similar table top games before and have a rough idea of what to expect) if anyone is hosting a campaign or one shot or similar that would be awesome, we would prefer 18+ We would love to find a group of like minded individuals for regular tabletop games, we are hoping to start a venture in D&D to start with. We also have a interest in board games, TCGs etc.
