MacMillan (Harrogate)
Seeking a gaming group
Hello, I'm just a guy looking to play dnd. I've been playing 5e for around 5 years online. Happy to have a chat with anyone and see if a group is willing to take me along with them. I'm more interested in trying a more light-hearted campaign at the moment but frankly I just want to start playing again.

meisha (Guisborough)
Seeking a book club
hello my name is meisha and i'm 21. I really love reading but struggle socially and find it hard to make friends. I'd like to connect to people who feel similarly or just also really love reading. I like anything from classics to thriller ( currently obsessing over James Patterson ) and also enjoy non fiction books on psychology and metaphysics.

Chris (Skipton)
Seeking a book club
Hi everyone. My name is Chris Gill and I'm a local author who has had two novels traditionally published by Yorkshire publisher, Fisher King Publishing. My latest novel, 'The Butcher Boys', is a novel about two close friends growing up in rival butchers' shops in a Yorkshire Dales village in the 1970's and 80's and the challenges their search for identity poses to their precious friendship in adulthood. The novel is on sale in bookshops throughout the Dales and has featured favourably in an article in The Dalesman alongside James Herriot and Julia Chapman. I have presented The Butcher Boys in many events across the Dales and am now looking to visit local book clubs to talk about the novel and my writing life. If anyone is interested, please contact me by email at '[email protected]' or by text on my phone number 07956 336311. Thank you so much. I look forward to hearing from you. Very best wishes. Chris. 😊

Amelia (York)
Seeking a book club
I am a voracious reader of essentially everything, though mostly fantasy adjacent and academic history. I am a university student on break who is going slightly insane with a lack of discussion and a desire to talk about things in detail with another human being. I don’t read much sci-fi or historical fiction, perhaps 20-40 books of each per year, out of 700-1000 total, (but plenty of historical fantasy), but I do enjoy both when well done (which I’m picky about with the historical fiction, courtesy of an academic love of daily life history and the history of trades and trade that mean I get my immersion broken very easily). I’d consider my favourite authors to be Prattchet, Kay, Jo Walton half the time (I either bounce off completely or it Does Things to me, there are two relateable books I’ve read in my life and she wrote both), and Sherwood smith slink less than half the time (mostly Time o Daughters, which I have yet to meet anyone else who has actually read. I don’t care for her most popular few, generally). I will however read pretty much anything, these are just the four that I end up rereading on loop when I’m not sure what else to do and that give me reliable book hangovers on the upteenth reread. The only genre I don’t read much at all is pure romance— I’ll only do it if it’s got a very strong alternate plot or if it’s not actually very romance based romance. This is purely me being very ace and very demiromantic and generally considering romance the least interesting character dynamic.
