Gareth

Seeking a gaming group

Family board games are my only experience so far. I want to learn D&D and can commit to a weekly meet up. Evening or weekend. I'm almost 40, so I'm looking for an older group of players that don't mind teaching a newbie.

Nos

Seeking a gaming group

I’m new to table top games in general but I’m a quick learner and I’m happy to try any game. The main game I’ve played is The Binding of Isaac: Four Souls, it’s one I’m obsessed with. I’m LGBTQ so being okay with that is important. I just want to play games, meet new people who like similar things, make friends and have fun.

Cameron

Seeking a gaming group

I'm new to playing RPGs since I've had some trouble looking for groups but I'm a long time watcher of actual plays. I'm working on my own homebrew system and setting inspired by music since I haven't really found something that fits how I like to play games. I like simpler systems that focus on storytelling and setting over combat and levelling.

I have only recently started reading as a hobby but I am really enjoying reading dystopian novels, thrillers and sci-fi but I want to broaden my book horizons and find people to discuss books with, share ideas on books as well as recommendations 😊

It should be mandatory reading for anyone who thinks Donald Trump is on the side of the good guys.

TheDM

Seeking a gaming group

I'm an educator and researcher at a local university, and when I'm not working, or outside camping or hiking, then I'm using playing D&D (or wishing that I was!). I'm a long-time DM and D&D player. I'm currently running a homebrew setting using 5e (2014) rules and am looking for one or two like-minded players to join the game (ages 25-50+). Feel free to get in touch for more details!

I read and read and read some more! Anything and everything. I love to follow recommendations - it’s a journey - and it’s great to hear the thoughts of other like-minded people. I’d like to meet new people but I’m flexible about the arrangements!

This has so much depth and meaning. Since I learned about Mary Shelley and her troubled life I have found the book so moving - it describes her own trauma.
