I’m 21 currently and have been a dnd player for about 6 years now, I’ve also played other systems but personally my favourites are DND And Pathfinder. Happy to be a dm.

Nathanael

Seeking a gaming group

Im 23 and want to make more friends. I love all kinds of TTRPGs with the exception of DnD 3.5/pf1e and DnD 5/5.5 (no shade i have just played only it for 7 years). My current favourits are Blades in the Dark, The Wildsea, Numanera and Coriolis the Third Horizon. My dream would be to find a group i can play challenging games like Burning Wheel and Stone Top. Can GM but it will be low prep Numanera or something like Mythic Bastionland since im both an inexperienced gm and busy.

I am a 45 year old trans women and I'm pretty new to D&D and tabletop games. My experience is with 5e and dagger heart systems but I'm willing to learn.

Cosmobee

Seeking a gaming group

Hi, I'm Susi! I'm 28, and I'd love to find more nerdy friends and play more games. I'm happy trying out any system, but I do prefer games that have more of a focus on the roleplaying side of things, and just having fun. I'm looking for an open, friendly, and accepting group

Pinky

Seeking a book club

Would love to meet people locally who adore books and reading. I gravitate to non-fiction but also want to get out of my comfort zone! I'd also love to extend my social circle, which has reduced since working mainly from home.

Finding Sanctuary: Monastic Steps for Everyday Life

by Abbot Christopher Jamison | Learn more and buy

I bought this book after stumbling upon a clip of a TV documentary that was shown a few years ago. The author was in charge of the Catholic monastery that had allowed a small group of people to experience life there and he seemed so calm, reassuring and wise. I wasn't at all sure what to expect with this book but it was such a gentle and also practical little read. Not at all what people might expect! I ended up buying his other books, which were also great. You absolutely don't need to be religious in the conventional sense to benefit from it. It's more about finding sanctuary in this tricky modern world. I'm not at all a fan of 'self help' books, and I wouldn't class this as one of those.

The Poisonwood Bible

by Barbara Kingsolver | Learn more and buy

This is so evocative of the Congo, a really readable and yet challenging and thought-provoking book.

Heather

Seeking a book club

I’m an avid reader of a wide range of fiction and literature. I love to read and be recommended books outside of my go-to genres. My most recent top read is Barbara Kingsolver Demon Copperhead. I enjoy chatting characters, plots, and perspectives over a cuppa or glass. I’ve was a book club member in my last home in Gloucestershire and I since moving to Devon this summer I am now looking to join like-minded folk to talk books around Ashburton and Bovey Tracey.

Katy

Seeking a book club

Enjoyer of surrealism, magical realism, and rage books. I'm bubbly and always up for a friendly discussion over a cuppa!
