I am a mature person in my autumn/winter years of life (68yrs old) and have wanted to learn to play DnD for many years now. When my wife was alive we always had an active social life with friends, but when my wife passed all our friends just closed their doors on me. I am now trying to meet and make new friends, but alas our local council has closed all social clubs down and there is nothing in Thurrock for over 20's, unless you count the pubs; and I'm not really a drinker. At first I thought DnD was for kids but having watched a documentary on tv, American doctors have found that getting elderly people into such clubs as DnD it has helped people aged between 40 - 80 get some memories back. I can't find anything for in age group in Thurrock, and though I can drive and have a vehicle I'm prepared to travel short distance to join clubs. If there are any DnD clubs near Thurrock or Basildon, and willing to take on newbies (never played the game before), I'd love to join, please bear in mind my age, I don't mind people younger than myself, but I don't want to be the eldest by about 30 years. If there are such clubs, within reason, I don't mind paying a subscription; just want to have some fun and laughs before my time is up.

33f and currently delving into the world of fantasy after falling in love with ACOTAR and absolutely obsessing over Fourth Wing (I am here for all fan theories after reading Onyx Storm). Also love a crime thriller but 2025 is the year of fantasy/romantasy so all recommendations will be appreciated.

Seeking a gaming group
Hi. I'm Clive. I've been around the Warhammer hobby for over 30 years. I'm looking to meet someone or join a group where we can play any of the Games Workshop games, paint together, or talk about our next hobby project. As I write this, I'm currently working on a Kill Team and a Blood Bowl team but I'm interested in all aspects of miniature painting and tabletop gaming. Please get in touch if this sounds like something you'd be interested in.

Seeking a book club
I love reading fiction but everyone around me only reads self help, I feel when I’m finished a good read I’m itching to share my thoughts and passion about it and don’t have anyone who’s as interested. I enjoy reading gripping fiction novels, mainly thrillers and plot twists. Will read romance and fantasy but a bit more picky with these genres.
