Rick (Manchester)
Seeking a gaming group
Hey hey! 31M player here, really been getting into D&D over the past few months, currently playing in a 5.5e campaign but with each session being every 4-8 weeks it really isn't scratching that itch (I can also adjust to 5e!) Currently based around Wigan&Leigh area, but can drive out to the city centre or other places within reason - ideally looking to form/join a group and start on a campaign with people that can play a bit more frequently

Lapwing (Manchester)
Seeking a book club
Hi, I'm 26, living in Salford. I've recently gotten back into reading more mindfully; now I can't seem to stop, nor do I want to. I enjoy contemporary literary fiction and narrative non-fiction, and I'm looking for inspiration; I have an idea for an auddiodrama that I'd like to populate with words and personalities and characters,

Jason (Manchester)
Gaming group
25 Year old event manager working in Manchester after moving back to the city from Liverpool. I used to be a professional dungeon master in Altrincham but I want to rediscover my passion for the actual game. I'm working on a side project creating an RPG type of event and I realised that I haven't actually played any games in a while. I am looking to run a game of bastion land (similar vibe to DND) or failing that just plain old DnD (maybe steam punk vibe ?). I have a partner who is very new to the game so I'm not planning anything hard core and I'm super open to teach new players. I am hoping to run the games either in the city centre or in Hulme area, the kicker is that i becuase i work in events i am really hoping for a Monday or Tuesday evening game (maybe bi weekly).

Andrew (Manchester)
Seeking a gaming group
Hi. I was raised with AD&D Second Edition, and have some experience both playing and DMing a small group of this. I am keen to try and learn modern Dungeons & Dragons, being happy to join a group, even with an in progress campaign, as long as people are willing to be encouraging and supportive. I do not have experience of or access to models and figurines, but I do have a healthy imagination. Have dice, will travel! (Within reason.)

Seb (Manchester)
Seeking a gaming group
(22, based in Manchester) I have always wanted to get into D&D but don't have anyone to play it with in my personal life, found this website and thought why not, let's give it a go and see if I can meet people to play with. I have no actual experience playing but I'm a quick study and willing to put In research. Anyway, thanks for reading.

Alfie (Manchester)
Seeking a gaming group
I've played DnD but I am open to new experiences. I prefer more narrative and creative games to crunchy but I like a bit of both. I've built some one shots based off my stories so would like to DM eventually but for now I'm just looking for a nice group.

Sly (Manchester)
Seeking a gaming group
Hi everyone! Iโm a 30-year-old player looking to join a long-term campaign. Iโve played a few one-shots and have DMed twice, so I understand the basics but am still fairly fresh. What I'm looking for: Setting: Standard, classic high-fantasy (no sci-fi or heavy tech, please).Role: Primarily looking to join as a player. Alternative DMing: I am totally open to stepping behind the screen and DMing, but my style is highly spontaneous and heavy on improvisation. If you prefer low-prep, "theater of the mind," and reactive storytelling over rigid, over-prepared modules, we might be a great match! Note: Just a heads upโI'm not great with character accents, so expect my normal voice whether I'm playing or DMing!
