Xirock (Camberley)

Seeking a gaming group

Hi there! I am mainly interested in Warhammer 40K with a large Imperial Guard force! and also, Bolt Action, mainly a very casual player, and still learning the rules! I also play other board games such as Axis and Allies! I love making terrain for games and am willing to host some home brewed campaigns!

Mari (Weybridge)

Seeking a book club

I love romantasy, romance, and advanced fantasy books with complex world-building. I’m looking for a book club that we read a mixture between these genres and discuss it afterwards :)

Jim (Egham)

Seeking a gaming group

I have been playing dnd for the last 5 or so years, and have stated trying to create my own campaign setting for a bit of fun. I'm just on the look out for a chilled out group who want to immerse themselves in a game for a few hours and have some fun and roll some dice. In game I enjoy shopping for magical items in weird little shops and travelling between quests, fighting goblins along the way! I am a player more than a DM but would be happy to try my hand a DMing my own campaign if people wanted that. I don't mind playing online as it offers a bit more flexibility but also happy for in person games if someone has a place to play.

Matthew (Weybridge)

Seeking a book club

Retired, and my days tend to move naturally between prayer, walking, and cooking. I am looking for a book group with reading that does the same—happy to cross genres, as long as there is plenty of depth to talk over afterward.I enjoy meaningful discussions and am looking forward to connecting with fellow readers, discovering new perspectives, and sharing recommendations. I also drop into a small local group that meets at Weybridge Library — found via Instagram (@theweybridgebookclub) rather than any formal channel, which suits me. Happy to compare notes with other clubs too.

Atmosphere

by Taylor Jenkins Reid | Learn more and buy

A story of astronauts and orbits that turns out to be really about gravity of a different kind — what pulls people toward each other, and what it costs to hold a life together across distance. Beautifully paced, and it lingered.

James (Woking)

New to D&D tabletop but familiar with many Forgotten Realms video games over the last 30 years including latest rules.

Patricia Parker (Oxted)

I enjoy Romantasy books. Looking for a book club to meet others and have an enjoyable evening out meeting new people.

Eric (Sutton)

Seeking a gaming group

I am a permanent DM on sabbatictal. I need to play for a bit before I DM burnout. I cut my teeth in ADND, grew in 3 and 3.5, and now enjoy 5e.

Matt (Redhill)

Seeking a gaming group

Looking for 1 player to join my Table and bring it back up to 5 people - Table based in Redhill at the Gamers Guild, Friday Nights 7pm to 10pm. Currently a Table of 4, playing Werewolf the Forsaken, Before Moving onto Call of Cthulhu WW2 game as our next plan. Happy to Take Veterans and New players alike, just be positive, willing to engage and learn new systems, and have fun :) Forewarning, This is not a D&D5E table, if doing Fantasy we prefer Pathfinder 2E, and like to explore a wide Varity of systems.

Nicole (Epsom)

Seeking a book club

i would love to meet and discuss books! i am a big fan of literary fiction, magical realism, classics, sci fi, and i am also wanting to get more into non-fiction, especially theory!

Jakub (Ashtead)

Seeking a gaming group

I have been DMing TTRPGs for over 15 years and love to try out new systems with groups. I've had a consistent group for the past 10 years in DnD 5e but as people moved away it has gone mostly digital and I'm hoping to start running some in person sessions again. Very interested in systems other than just 5e, such as Pathfinder 2e, Traveller, and perhaps going back and running some of the systems I started TTRPGs on, such as DnD 3.5e, Classic World of Darkness systems, or Dark Heresy. I'm in my late 20s, so would be good to get players of similar age. If you're up for starting a new game would be great to meet in a pub first and discuss expectations and what is enjoyed, and make sure we're on the same page as a group!

Lyrator (Epsom)

Seeking a gaming group

Man in his 40’s - Completely newbie to tabletop gaming but pretty voracious reader of sci-fi, fantasy, detective and non-fic. Watched some Critical Role so have a (very) barebones understanding of what to do. Keen to get involved with a patient group and learn more about it all! Happy to travel, availability is flexible but not fixed.

Lib (Godstone)

Seeking a book club

I am looking to meet new people in the South Godstone area. I love reading, mostly crime and psychological thrillers but dabble in lighter romcoms.

Becky (Sutton)

Seeking a book club

I’m a uni student who enjoys reading romance, fantasy, romantasy and occasionally sci fi. I would love to find people to discuss books with and hopefully become friends

JonW (Guildford)

Seeking a gaming group

Dad in my late 40s. Used to play AD&D and other games 20+ years ago. Looking to get into D&D again but I don't know anybody who plays locally (Guildford)

Oli TwoShirts (Guildford/Haslemere) (Guildford)

Gaming group

Hey folks, I'm a 34M DM looking to set up a D&D 2024 rules/5.5 edition group in Guildford, Godalming or Haslemere area. My plan is to run an Episodic D&D campaign with monthly or fortnightly sessions featuring 4-6 players on the roster. The backdrop will be that "the party" will have a large debt to pay, and each session will be a kinda one-shot adventure that'll contribute to paying off this party debt, so in the real-life meta-calendarial sense this would mean that not every player is essential to attend each session for story progression and should make the true bugbear of scheduling a lot easier (no offence to Bugbear PCs out there!) I'm based in Haslemere, and looking to do sessions in-person, ideally in spaces where everyone can get comfortable in their characters without it being too financially-punishing, because of this, I tend to avoid the idea of doing D&D sessions in pubs. Living rooms work best for this kinda thing. And with each character, I'd also like to arrange a one-on-one Character Creation session where we (the player and DM) can go through things like making a character sheet and fleshing out backstory together, then having a one-on-one quick Individual PC session so that you can get an understanding of what my play style is like before we all meet for Session 1 featuring all players. I'm open to both Total D&D Noobs and Experienced players, this won't be Tolkien, it'll just be about having some fun and building stories. How's this sound? All good? If so, hell yeh! Drop me an email with a little about yourself, session availability, expectations and what your experience is with D&D, and if you've got a Character idea in mind then feel free to let me know about it. And if you don't have a character in mind, then hey lemme know and I'm sure we can cook something up. Gondor Primulon adventurers 🖖 -Oli.

Oli TwoShirts (Haslemere)

Seeking a gaming group

I'm looking to build a D&D group to run Episodic/One-Shot...ish adventures, probably more on the silly-side of adventures at the moment. Going to be running 2024/5.5 edition rules, if you're familiar with 5th Ed. rules then I'm happy to talk you through it. Would prefer a living room to play in (as opposed to a pub) to keep costs (and alcohol-consumption) to a healthy level. I'm a 34 Gardener, forager, wannabe neuroscientist with a degree in Environmental Science. Keen on folklore, herblore, and fantasy. Currently audio reading Witcher series, and the British Libraries Weird Tales series, and John Wyndham. Touched with ADD.

One More Chapter (Haslemere)

Book club

Relaxed discussion, snacks, drinks and good company! We’ll mainly explore non-fiction, fantasy, mystery & romance, with plenty of room for other reads too! We will choose each book together based on a vote so everyone gets a say. Meet every 6-8 weeks 📚

SpringElf (Haslemere)

Seeking a book club

I love reading, 31, and recently moved back to the area after 18 years away so would be lovely to meet new people. I enjoy all sorts of fiction, especially fantasy, mystery and period romance, and the occasional non-fiction book!

Nancy (Leatherhead)

Seeking a book club

I am avid reader, love realist fiction, poetry, philosophy but will read most things if well written and engaging. I’m new to Surrey so looking to make new friends and join a book club as well. I like getting book recommendations from others, especially if the book has had an impact on them.

A fine balance

by Rohinton Mistry | Learn more and buy

A fine balance does a wonderful job of making you feel like you know all the characters by the end, their desires, motivations, strengths, weaknesses and all the things in between that make us human. It’s also gives a wonderful context of India at a particular time in history.
