John
Seeking a gaming group
Hi, I'm John, and I've been playing tabletop RPGs for 10+ years, with around 8 of those spent behind the DM screen. While I love running games, I'm currently looking to join a group as a player in the Bishop Auckland, Barnard Castle, or wider County Durham area. I've played D&D 3.5, 5e, and the 2024 rules update, along with a variety of other systems including Paranoia, Vampire: The Masquerade, and Star Wars d20 (3.5). I've recently picked up Daggerheart and Candela Obscura and would love the chance to give both a try. I'm a big Critical Role fan and have been lucky enough to attend several live shows in both the UK and the US. For me, tabletop gaming is all about great stories, memorable characters, and having a laugh with good people. Over the years I've met some fantastic players and made lifelong friends through the hobby. I have a regular online game on Mondays, but I'm looking for an in-person group and am available most other days. I'm easy-going, get on with pretty much everyone, and I'm looking for a friendly group that enjoys good roleplay, teamwork, and plenty of laughs along the way. If that sounds like your table, I'd love to hear from you!

I've only only played online D&D sessions with friends, looking for a group to play with in person. Very interested in playing Vampire the Masquerade, but am open to trying any game. Particularly interested in playing with other women and/or queer groups.

LUKE
Seeking a gaming group
Hi I'm Luke I'm 35 I have always loved all things fantasy... During lockdown I got into watching Critical Role on youtube and since then I have really wanted to try and get in on a campaign I have no experience other than watching other people play on video, but I am willing to learn and go from there. If there are any local games looking for players let me know I can travel as I drive, but the more local the better.

Seeking a gaming group
Couple looking to form a local DnD group, we are happy to host but only after getting to know you we are still learning DnD and are receiving lessons from multiple Experienced DM's and Players each week, What we are looking for is DnD players and DM's in the Bishop Auckland area who want to form a regular group for regular sessions and friendship.(ideally we need minimum 5 people 1 DM, 4 players we have currently us and one other interested person so need 2 more) if you are interested message me to discuss further. Just as a side note we are disabled nothing major just some mobility issues hence the eventual plan to host. We are however happy to travel for games if you wish to host as well but needs to be in the Bishop Auckland local area as we rely on buses.

The Chats & Chapter Club
Book club
The Chat & Chapter Club is a relaxed book club for people who love a good read, a good glass of wine, and even better conversation. We enjoy diving into books and sharing thoughts, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously — discussions naturally wander from plot twists to life updates, recommendations, and a bit of friendly waffle. There’s no pressure to be an academic or finish every page; it’s about enjoying stories, company, and a welcoming space where books spark conversation and wine keeps things flowing.

Seeking a book club
Hi, I live in Newton Aycliffe. I enjoy a good book and would be interested to listen to other opinions on books read. Im not a great talker but would just be happy to be in a group where I can listen and perhaps pluck up the courage to contribute at some point. I think an online club would work better for me.

Paeo Waplo
Seeking a gaming group
Used to play 1st and 2nd edition D&D in the 1980s and early 1990s. My kids have grown up and left home which leaves my wife and I with lots of weekends and evenings free. I’ve joined a group recently, playing 5e and loving it all over again. Would be interested in joining other groups or starting a new one.
