Auria

Seeking a gaming group

I used to GM quite regularly for CoC and DnD 5e, I haven't done so in a few years so would like to get back in the habit. I tend to run games with looser more homebrewy rules, I tend to be more interested in what's fun then what's official. If anyone's up for a oneshot in DnD 5e, please do reach out. No experience or kit required, I've mostly run games for new players to be honest! I have plenty of dice for all of us :D. If we get a couple of folks, I tend to prefer in person games in one of Birmingham's game cafes. Nothing I love more then holding my breath in a tense encounter and seeing that physical die roll across the table hehehe.

Gaming group

Mu group are playing starfinder 1e, and we have some spaces for new players to join! LGBT and beginner friendly. This is part of a tabletop roleplay club so we have more games going on as well! We meet every Thursday from 7pm to 10pm at the Selly Oak and Bournbrook Social Club in Birmingham and we have quite a few tables open to beginners and experienced players alike. We're always happy for people to drop by and talk with us to see if there is a table right for them! Reach out to me if you're interested or have any questions 😊

Matt

Seeking a gaming group

DM here, looking to set up a group in Birmingham to meet up in person and play a game focused around dinosaurs. BEGINNER FRIENDLY Our intrepid heroes are thown back in time, finding them selves in lands forgotten millenia ago. You will need to find out how you came to be here, how to get back, and most importantly, how to survive in a land where you're little more than a snack to the creatures around you! In person meeting (probably at a boardgames café) every other week. Weekdays in the evening, day is negotiable according to availablity. Scope: - Character creation - D&D 2024 core rules only - I will be using the Dr Dhrolin's book for Dinosaur stats - This will likely be a short to mid length campaign - Theatre of the mind (I don't have any dino minis!) - We will do character creation together as a group A bit about me: I've been playing D&D on and off for several years as well as doing LARP and improv. I currently run two other groups online, and would like to play some games in person!

Hannah

Seeking a book club

Hi, My name is Hannah Majid and I'm a journalist at ITV News Central. We're working on a story about how the UK Society of Authors is campaigning to get books stamped with a 'Human Authored' logo to ensure readers know the difference between books produced by AI, versus books written by real people. Hundreds of authors are also backing the campaign. We'd like to film at your next book club meeting (preferably this week or early next week) and ask people: Do you think books written by humans should be labelled on the cover as AI books begin to enter the market? Why do you think it's important for people to know if a book has been written by a human? If this is something you can help us with, please let me know as soon as possible! Thanks, Hannah

It balances humor with deeper themes like personal growth, family struggles, and emotional vulnerability. Fast-paced and engaging, it’s an easy read with memorable side characters.

Seeking a gaming group

I have only played one 5e campaign before but it sadly never finished due to personal issues but I’ve been dying to play more, I play Baldur’s Gate 3 and watch Critical Role so I do have a broad knowledge of the game and it’s rules, I love heavy story and roleplay but also enjoy getting stuck into some combat

Romance reader 03

Seeking a book club

Hi! I’m someone who reads in intense phases, when I’m in, I’m all in. I mostly read spicy romance because I love the emotional intensity, the tension, and the comfort of getting completely lost in a story. Reading is my favorite form of escape, and it’s the one hobby I always come back to. I’m looking to join a book group to connect with other readers, talk about the books that obsess us, and hopefully stay a little more consistent with my reading. I’d love to share recommendations and gush over fictional characters together!

It is great because it perfectly delivers the grumpy single-dad x sunshine nanny dynamic with intense chemistry, emotional depth, and small-town ranch charm. Cade’s tough, guarded exterior slowly melting for Willa is incredibly satisfying, and the bond between Willa and his son adds warmth and heart that balances the steam. It’s the kind of spicy romance that feels both escapist and emotionally comforting, addictive, swoony, and easy to binge
