Humid (Northallerton)

Seeking a gaming group

40 year old dnd player (might DM eventually) wondering if any groups in the area? Usually play online with VTTs. Experienced with 5e and a bit of pathfinder but not much else

Godlike Pigeon (Malton)

Seeking a gaming group

31 year old fella from Malton, who has only started playing DnD for the last couple months but am falling in love with it. I have a fairly decent understanding of it through what I have played and from podcats and shows.

Bleak-House (Sowerby)

Seeking a book club

Not into historical stuff but otherwise open. Repurposed (not retired) and keen to get back into reading now not working. Never been in a reading group before.

Keeper of Stories

Keeps you interested and is a story within a story - references a historical true story which I bought the book of but not read.

Louise (Northallerton)

Seeking a gaming group

Mum of at 14 year old who is keen to find a local place to play war hammer.

Lord_Badger (Bedale)

Seeking a gaming group

Played TTRPGs from age of 12 all they way through to my 40's. Having taken a break, I would like to find a group that doesn't take themselves too seriously. D&D, Beyond the Supernatural (remember that one?), GURPS, Paranoia, various home-brew systems.

This book offers a really varied exploration of different "underland" places, featuring different geographies, geologies and anecdotal reflections from Macfarlane.

I'm a reader who writes, lives in York and is looking for people who like to take about literature, history and philosophy in pubs.

Debbie (Pickering)

Seeking a book club

Hi I have recently moved to Pickering and would love to meet some new people. I enjoy reading a mixture of psychological thrillers and easy to read fiction. I would enjoy being part of a book club to introduce me to reading different books, books I wouldn't necessarily choose myself. I look forward to hearing from you

Debbie recommends:

Ragdoll

by Daniel Cole | Learn more and buy

Thrillingnpschological thriller, the Starr if a trilogy. Very well written and despite the nature of the book, Daniel writes with a lot of humour. The trilogy is fantastic and keeps you guessing throughout.

Phil M (Harrogate)

Seeking a book club

Retired teacher with eclectic reading tastes keen on walking, reading and Yorkshire. Last three books I read were Demon Copperhead by B. Kingsolver, How they broke Britain by J.O'Brien and Escape Artist by J. Freedland. Keep adding to my reading Bucket List to guarantee immortality. Always looking for book recommendations.

Phil M recommends:

The Trees

by Percival Everett | Learn more and buy

Like any great satire this book is side splittingly funny and terrifyingly sombre. Set in the Deep South of USA it is essentially a whodunit with the murders occurring with cartoon like regularity. I have told so many about this book and am looking for more Everett - the guy's a genius!

Kristina (Skipton)

Seeking a book club

Hi, I am a mother to 4 sons, two of who are fully grown and left home, and two teenagers who are growing up too fast for my liking, that being said, I have a lot more time on my hands, so I’m starting to revisit all the things I love doing and haven’t always had the time for, and reading is one of them. I have always loved the idea of book groups, so here I am. Looking forward to joining!?!

Sam Swales Snowden (York)

I am a long time reader, my favourite go to hobby and even when I’m not reading a lot it’s always a bit before I go to bed ! I read everything fiction, classics, contemporary, memoirs, politics! Would like to meet others to discuss and get inspiration for the next read.

Debbie (Pickering)

Hi I have recently moved to the area and would like to meet new people. I enjoy reading a mixture of fiction including psychological thrillers and romantic stories. I like the idea of a book club to introduce me to different books, ones I may not necessary choose myself.

The Secret Garden

by Frances Hodgson Burnett | Learn more and buy

Beautifully written, can re read and enjoy every time.

Ballas (York)

Seeking a gaming group

Played 5e for a few years as the DM for 3 separate campaigns. Interested in other TTRPGs or games as well. Would prefer an in-person game but up for anything. I’d like to try being a player as I’m usually a forever-DM but can run games if everyone is newer

Emsa (York)

Seeking a gaming group

Hi! :-) New to tabletop. Minimal experience, have played a game of Vampire V5, The Witcher TTRPG, and only dabbled in character creation with DnD. Would love to find others interested in any of the above, take me under their wing!

Ellen recommends:

Angelology

by Danielle Trussoni | Learn more and buy

This book combines everything I love; puzzles, mysteries, adventure through the eyes of scholars known as Angelologists. The characters are well developed individuals, and the plot is engaging. It has been a favourite for many years.

SallyC (Helmsley)

Seeking a book club

I like literary fiction, historical fiction and thrillers.

Sally (Selby)

Seeking a book club

I am interested in discussing a range of fiction with other readers. I often choose prize winning novels or long listed novels when not sure what to choose. It would be good to meet others with the common interest of reading fiction.

BookloverJo (Skipton)

Seeking a book club

Hi, I’ve always loved reading but now find it difficult to find a book that is “unputdownable”. Would welcome recommendations and an opportunity to meet new people/make new friends. No favourite genre although I don’t enjoy fantasy, and count Maggie O’Farrell and Mary Wesley among my favourite authors.
