I'm somewhat new to d&d in the sense of not having played in many campaigns but I've got a decent idea of the game itself

Deena (Manchester)
Seeking a book club
Hi I'm Deena, Im 23 and live near Bolton and would love to make some bookish friends or join a book club. I mostly read rom-coms and sometimes fantasy but can be open to other recommendations, there just needs to be banter. I am a worshiper of all academic rivals to lovers books... something about them is just MMMMMH iykyk! I feel it's important to mention that i do boycott certain authors due to their links to zionism or the zionist 'state'. You can read what you want but I won't want to chat about certain books (ACOTAR, Fourth Wing etc.) due to this.

Vincent (Manchester)
Seeking a gaming group
21yo Trans man and relatively beginner TTRPG player with limited experience in a few D&D one-shots. Looking to get into playing more, finding a group and exploring different possible TTRPGs. Specifically interested in D&D or Fallout The Roleplaying Game. Mainly in Bolton but I have no inconvenience with commuting to either Manchester or Bury.

Jamie (Manchester)
Gaming group
Got some of the gear but no idea but looking to start into the world of TTRPG its been something that ive been wanting to get into for years but now ive taken the steps to do what ive always want to try and if anyone is wanting to help a complete novice I would appreciate the help and guidance. I work full-time over 4 night and I know it going to be difficult for me to find a local group in Atherton Leigh or Bolton that can fit within my constraints but here's hoping to finding something

Joe (Manchester)
Seeking a gaming group
Relatively new player to DnD 5e (2024). I've played various one shots and I'm up for playing more or joining a longer campaign. I'm also interested in playing other TTRPGs (Daggerheart, Shadowdark, DCC) and I recently played a Pirate Borg one shot which was a lot of fun.

RAW (Manchester)
Seeking a gaming group
Ive played D&D a fair bit now and I am quite young at 15 but the people my age are all very immature and I can't seem to enjoy it so I want go find a group that will seriously play the game while still joking and having fun My friend is the same so it would be two players who love to joke and have fun but also love the game to have a serious story plot puzzles and combats to play through Thanks! ๐

The main character book club (Manchester)
Seeking a book club
Hello! I am looking to start a Manchester-based book club centered around dark romance, spicy fiction, and all our favorite morally grey characters. I'm looking to connect with fellow readers in the area who love fast-paced plots, high stakes, and good banter, both on the page and over a drink!

Zeyad (Manchester)
Gaming group
Hi everyone, I put a listing here as a player looking for a group but I decided it is much faster to set up my own group. I already have one player besides me who wants to play but is also willing to DM at first. This friend of mine is quite experienced in DnD and other tabletop RPGs. Myself, not so much, but I did a couple of sessions of DnD in the past and had a blast. I am not hesitant to learn any new systems if that is what the group agrees on. Only way to do it is to do it I say. Both me and him are based in Manchester and would prefer a group that is local or close enough to commute without it being a hassle for them. The place to meet and play is already scoped out (Fanboythree). Anyone looking to have a fun imaginative time with enough junk food to kill them 3 times over is welcome. Pretty much anyone is welcome except people who will take the game way too seriously gameplay wise. Not referring to the roleplaying aspect as we all want to have a good time here. PS: of course, any suggestions regarding place to meet and location are welcome.

Charlie (Manchester)
Seeking a gaming group
I've played and ran TTRPGs with friends for a while and am always looking for new people to play with. I personally am a sucker for systems outside of DnD 5e but I've played and ran my fair share of that too. I'm in my mid 20s and am based in central Manchester. I generally run and play in the afternoons/evenings after work, or on Saturdays.

Zeyad (Manchester)
Seeking a gaming group
Hi there good people, I am looking for a DnD game group. Campaigns or one shots, I am good either way. Not averesed to any other RPG game. Anything to work the creative muscle. I am hoping to DM in the future but would like to get my feet wet first as I have only barely played DnD before. Just a couple of sessions. Fun though. I am based in Manchester and preferably would like a group based there as well. And hey, if no groups are available, let's get in touch and start our own.

William (Ashton-under-Lyne)
Seeking a gaming group
Hi I'm Will! I'm 22 and would love to be a player if you currently have any games open. I love all kinds of TTRPGs and coming up with unique voices and getting really into character. I really enjoy uplifting everyone and getting to know the players at the table. I have quite a lot of experience in TTRPGs and taught a class of Neuro-diverse kids how to play Dungeons and Dragons. I hope you have a fantastic day and it was great reading your profile!
