Bobby (Newcastle upon Tyne)
Seeking a gaming group
Hey folks! I’m Bobby, 30M (married, queer, mini poodle owner) looking to start up an in-person 5e D&D group every couple of weeks around Newcastle. My last table has dissolved and I’m keen to make some more nerdy friends! I am keen to DM a run of The Wild Beyond the Witchlight, but I’d like to start with a couple of one-shots first so we can get to know each other a bit first. My DM style is goofy, relaxed, and I’m a big believer in the rule of cool.

Janet (North Shields)
Seeking a gaming group
62F I have played D&D on and off for a long time. Not very good but willing to learn .I enjoy the role play and banter. I play video games like Skyrim, Dragons Age and Vikings so I definitely have a genre although I am willing to try anything. I'm looking for people that enjoy a bit of escapist fun.

A few recent favourites are: Pax (Renaissance, Pamir, Porfiriana), John Company 2nd Ed., Arcs, Oath, The Old King’s Crown, and Food Chain Magnate.

Joe (Newcastle upon Tyne)
Seeking a gaming group
Hi! I'm Joe, 28 (he/him) recently moved to Newcastle. I have quite a lot of past experience playing as a player and a little bit as a DM. I've played Dnd 5e and a little bit of Pathfinder, good with mechanical or RP heavy games. Despite playing for a few years I'm still shaky on the rules. Rule of cool and having a good time are the main things for me, so looking for something casual with folks I can call friends! :)

Erin (North Shields)
Seeking a gaming group
New to the TTRPG world only played in one game previously and had to drop out due to work issues, looking to get back into it. Know a lot of random lore but shaky on how to actually play, the roleplay aspect is a lure for me as a bit of escapism but also happy to play in a non rp heavy game too :)

Tom (Washington)
Seeking a gaming group
Hi, My name's Tom (he/him), married with kids (1primary, 1 secondary and 1 college). I've been playing 5E 2014 regularly for the past 4 years. I currently have a weekly game on a Sunday evening (running 3 years plus) and a bi-weekly game on a Saturday evening (session 100 around the corner), so commitment is not an issue. Ideally I'm looking for a regular midweek game either during the day (10am-2pm GMT) on a Tuesday or a Friday or on an evening Monday - Wednesday (9pm GMT onwards). I'm happy to play face to face but equally comfortable on Discord, Roll20, D&D Beyond, Foundry and I'm happy to look at and learn new editions/VTTs as required. I like a mix of exploration, RP and Combat and like to have some levity and humour in downtimes. If anyone is looking for a solid, reliable, mature, funny, LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent friendly player then shoot me a message. It would be great to hear from you.

Snormac (Sunderland)
Seeking a book club
36 living in the North East - I love reading and I love reading along with people, discussing as we go. Used to be part of a book club for years, and I miss it terribly. I’ll read anything (doesn’t mean I’ll like it). Message me if you’d like to meet for a coffee, or if you have a group that could do with an additional person with silly opinions.
