Toni (North Shields)
Seeking a book club
I'm a 37 year old housewife who enjoys reading fantasy such as dark academia, YA and dark romance. I enjoy Brandon Sanderson's various books including his adult series' and his YA ones, James Pattersons YA books as well as well known books such as Forth Wing. I also enjoy what some would class as children's books with authors such as Darren Shan, Garth Nix and Derek Landy. I enjoy dystopian books. I love exploring new concepts and new characters. I also watch alot of Anime as I feel like they're able to explore for concepts than regular TV does. Dislike biographies, mystery books and adult horror.

Al (Whitley Bay)
Seeking a gaming group
I've played in a long campaign and DM'd a game for over 4 years. I'm looking for an opportunity to play again and experience D&D 5e with new people either in person or online. Ideally the game would be on Monday evenings but could do Tuesdays or Wednesdays. I've got a basic character idea for pretty much every class so I could fit into any existing parties to plug a gap.

Hi, looking to join a book club :) I like character-driven stories mainly, with a slower pace and lots of description. I also read historical non-fictions and biographies of figures with interesting lives! I would love to discuss my thoughts and hear those of others.

Peter J (North Shields)
Seeking a gaming group
Born in 1968, and have been a member of the Wallsend Adventurer's Role-play Group (W.A.R.P.) since 2014. I enjoy playing a variety of games, TTRPG, Computer games and board games including D&D, Palladium fantasy, Rifts and T.M.N.T, WHFRP, Alternity, Cyberpunk 2020, Shadowrun, Vaesen, Call of Cthulhu and both World of and Chronicles of Darkness. BG3, Scrabble, Kings Cribbage, Risk, Axis & Allies, Carcassonne, Talisman and Munchkin. I have also GM'd a couple of games (a short D&D game, Palladium Fantasy, Palladium Rifts and SLA Industries) and have a modest collection of TTRPG's and board games. I am hoping to find either a new group, ideally one which ,doesn't meet on a Sunday, or people interested in joining W.A.R.P. (which meets on Sundays in Walkerville).

Bardbro (Newcastle upon Tyne)
Seeking a gaming group
I’m designing a concept TTRPG I want you to try out and give ideas for. I can code so I make cool visual dashboards that look awesome and help strategically. I’m a really talented pianist so I make music to help with immersion. I’m 23m, super non judgemental n chill, I would love you to be one of the people giving feedback. Orks are the best team in 40k, cos you can scratchbuild and kitbash everything for cheap.

Thomas (Newcastle upon Tyne)
Seeking a gaming group
Hi, I'm Thomas, 28M. I've always wanted to get into DnD roleplaying, and I'd like to find an in-person group that I can be part of for sessions. I'm a hobbyist writer, and love creating characters and deep backstory, as well as having a lot of experience in roleplay. I don't have a specific preference for which type of universe, but I'm fond of high fantasy settings. I'm currently based in Newcastle.
