Seeking a gaming group

I have quite a few board games, but I’ve never really had the chance to play any! I’d also really love to try D&D, although I’ve never played before. I’m quite shy and have some health issues that can make socialising a little difficult sometimes, but I’d really love to meet some new people and hopefully make some friends to play with! I’m 26 :)

I have years of experience playing DND, and I am currently a DM for multiple games. I love both role-playing and combat-oriented games, and I prefer parties working together to achieve things. I'm looking to either DM an in-person group or play as a player. 21 Year old guy :p

Bridges Of Madison County

Though it's a romance (not to everyones taste) l loved the story line, and his use of descriptive English. Its a small concise book, full of wonderful words & phrases

The way the story is written and how it takes you on a journey is incredible. You will be rooting for the main characters along the way.

Seeking a book club

I hope that you are all keeping well. I am just posting this to say that i have read through several of your comments and I can see that there are many of us who would like to join a Basildon Book group. Therefore, I will pop into Basildon library to enquire about setting one up. If they agree, I will post the details on here as well as seeing about putting a poster up in the library to advertise. Looking forward to seeing if we can get one set up Kind regards Tracy D

Hi everyone! I’m looking to get into TTRPGs and would love to join a group. I’m a complete beginner but really eager to learn. I’m in my 40s and happy to play with any group as long as they’re patient and don’t mind helping me pick things up along the way. Thanks!

Jodi

Seeking a book club

Hi I am a woman in my 40s who has always loved reading and mostly used to read thrillers, my favorite author of this genre being Karen Slaughter. However recently I have wanted to try reading some of the classics having just finished George Orwell’s 1984 an Animal farm which were both amazing, and I am loving working my way through my new classic reading list! I don’t know many other people who love reading like I do and would love to join a group and meet likeminded people and discover more genres and books that I haven’t tried yet.

It’s so different to anything I have read before, I love the depth of all the characters, the details in the authors descriptions of environment and the way the main characters change but you remain invested in all of them.
