Ryan (M25) (Selby)

Seeking a gaming group

Hi! I’m based in Selby (UK) and I’m looking to join a D&D group, either online or local. I’m a seafarer and currently ashore for at least the next three months, so I’m very flexible and available when it comes to scheduling. I’ve played a couple of one-shots, but I wouldn’t consider myself a new player. I’ve been interested in D&D for a long time and know the rules well, having spent a lot of time reading the rulesets for fun — especially while at sea when other entertainment options are limited. In terms of playstyle, I enjoy games with a moderate pace where each session feels meaningful and the adventure is clearly moving forward. I especially like thinking through scenarios, problem-solving, and tackling challenges or puzzles, with combat second and roleplay third. That said, I’m very easygoing and happy to adapt to a group’s preferences. I’m mainly looking for a friendly, inclusive group and a good sense of bonding at the table. I’m a passionate player who enjoys putting effort into their character and the game, but I don’t expect or pressure others to play the same way — having fun together is the priority.

Caro (Selby)

Seeking a book club

Hi, I am Caroline and I own the little coffee house in Selby, I am hoping to set up a book club meeting during the day. I was wondering if anyone would be interested? I have a function room upstairs which holds around 18 people but there isn't a lift I can read but haven't read a book in a long time.
