I’m a dad looking for an inclusive small group for my 13 year old daughter to join to learn D&D. She is neurodivergent and schools online from home. Is there anything around south or West Yorkshire?

Seeking a book club
I'm a primary school teacher who loves to read. I tend to read crime books and thrillers. I'd like to join a book club to discuss great reads. I'm pretty new to the area so I'm looking to meet new people to socialise with as well.

Seeking a book club
Hi! I’m Sophie. I moved back from abroad to Barnsley and I’m looking to join or help start a book club (in person and online) to share all the fun books that I don’t have many people to talk about to in person anymore. I’m currently finishing Ruthless vows, but love fantasy, romance, thriller, action, and various other genres. I even bought a non-fiction one recently which is a bit out of character for me.

Seeking a book club
41 and just moved to near Barnsley. Used to be an English teacher, now working in an unrelated field, and would like to get to know new people in the area by sharing love of reading. I feel I should be really arcane with what I’m reading, but I generally like a good middle of the road thriller. Recently I’ve been working through all the Lee Child and Jo Nesbo books and now on to Tom Clancy, currently reading Rainbow 6. I like a bit of dystopian too and would say 1984 is my favourite/ best book of all time.

Sarted to read the rules for dnd 5e back in 2023 and been trying to find a group to play with ever since (prefer online to start) due to mobility issues. Im still a beginner but have messed about building different character's recently purchased 2024 rules and re-sparked looking for a group to play with that goes easy on new players. ive played things like Warhammer and Warhammer 40k in the past so not totally new to this genre of games

2 years of D&D experience, partly as DM for a Curse of Strahd campaign but mostly as a player. Looking to find other players or even a DM to join our group, preferably someone who is very chill and isn't against any dark humour. We also play every Sunday starting at 2pm an finishing at roughly 8-9pm.
