I read mainly fiction but also love true stories and biographies. Intending on taking early retirement in the summer so will have more time for books. Looking for new friends of any ages to meet up at least once a month for books, coffee etc.

I've been playing DnD for around 5 years now. Mainly as a player but open to doing another DM role. Mostly familiar with 2014 edition and if definitely consider myself to still be learning the game. I'm looking for a relaxed but invested campaign to be a part of with people who are enthusiastic and patient. I'm 20 so looking to play with people around my age but not necessary :)

Seeking a book club
Hi, I enjoy most genres but stared to read a lot of fantasy from the start of the COVID lockdowns as I wanted to explore something different to our everyday experience. I read a lot of contemporary fiction from established and new authors. I usually have a classic book on the go and something light and funny. I read poetry most days. Plus I read a lot of books related to the broader area of Psychology which is my area of work. I have a good sense of humour, like a good chat , keeping fit and meditate regularly. Iāve always wanted to be in a book club but have either never had the time or my local one might focus on only one or two genres. Iām local to Blandford and as Iām self-employed I have wide availability. It would be good to meet other people who share a similar interest in books and literature and who are open to new reading experiences.

Seeking a book club
Avid reader, in my 50s (sadly not for much longer), looking to join a book club that meets physically rather than virtually on either a weekly or monthly basis. I'll read just about anything but my preferred genres are Fantasy, Science Fiction and general thrillers. Currently reading The Devils by Joe Abercrombie, The Halflings Gem by R A Salvatore and Abroad in Japan by Chris Broad. Still looking for a book group in Blandford or surrounds but failing that if anyone is intetested in forming one please ley me know.

I'm in my late 50s and whilst I've been playing videogame RPGs and some board games for about 30 years I'm very new to TTGs and would really like to get together with some like-minded individuals to explore more table top games. Very interested in DnD (though not experienced), Wrymspan, SW Outer Rim or just engaging games in general.
