Jez
Seeking a gaming group
Hi. I played a lot of TTRPGs during the early 80s and have now retired and am a youngish 58 with two teenagers. Iād be really interested to take up the hobby again as I loved it back in the day. Mid week or evenings suit me. Prefer to be a player than a DM. Open to anything but have played AD&D, Call of Cthulhu and Paranoia from what I remember. Prefer face to face than online. Also used to love painting figures. Have dice will travel.

I enjoy scifi and horror. Scifi subgenres I quite like are pulp scifi and retro futurism. I donāt have may friends who like reading so Iād like to connect with people with similar interests

Charlotte
Seeking a gaming group
My name is Charlotte, 32 years old (she/her). I have played Dungeons and Dragons since 2020. I have been a DM'd most of the games I have played and was in a game for almost 2 years. I am looking to play in a long running campaign online, I am free weekends as I work full time Mon-Fri. I love all aspects of the game, roleplaying, solving puzzles and combat excite me so I am really open to any playstyles, themes. I am most familiar with 5E, but I am open to learning any of the editions.

Book club
A fantasy and sci-fi book club for readers who want to read books with ideas, depth and something to say. We typically avoid āchick-flickā reads and donāt shy away from the door stoppers! Weād love to meet at least once a month with plenty of tea and snacks to keep us going.

Seeking a gaming group
Hi I'm Charles (30M) I'm a D&D enthusiast looking to join or start a group in or around the Bridgend area I have been playing D&D for a little over 2 years being a mix of player and as a DM. So far I have played in some one shots and playing through Descent into Avernus currently, and I have DM'd a few one shots and I'm currently a DM for a Curse of Strahd Campaign I like all parts of D&D fairly equally (Combat, Exploration, Roleplay) but I think I generally prefer being a DM rather than a player I really enjoy setting up scenarios and encounters for players and working their backstory into the main plot or finding unique hooks specific to their characters I also enjoy coming up with characters with my partner (who also plays D&D) and helping to flesh out characters and the worlds they inhabit My current group are quite chaotic and honestly I enjoy that experience as a DM of trying to figure out what happens next based on the choices and actions of the players I'm really interested in the Eberron setting and had planned an adventure for some players but unfortunately it fizzled out and would be keen to revisit it at some point in the future

briefly played D&D before, but campaigns all fizzled out, so I am a relative newbie looking for a new campaign to join to actually get into a story

Mad old bat, reads anything and everything but especially sci-fi, fantasy and historical fiction. Not keen on chick-lit as a rule. Currently loving Sarah J Maas and ACOTAR, with Jane Austen on audio for running to.

Seeking a book club
Mainly chick lit and thriller/crime. Also read a lot of what's popular at the moment. Not a lot of friends read as much as I do so would love to have a cuppa and chat about recent reads.

Iād like to get back into reading and love doing a āpost-mortemā after finishing a book. I mainly read psychological thrillers or whatās popular but open to other genres. I have been a member of book club before but was in France and havenāt met a group of people yet in Bridgend to join a new one.

Seeking a book club
I'm a writer and reader from South Wales. I read pretty much whatever takes my fancy in the moment, but my top genres are: fantasy, sci-fi, historical fiction, and horror. Very open to other recommendations. I guess I'm looking for fellow readers who don't take themselves too seriously, who care equally as much about having fun as discussing books.

Seeking a gaming group
Heyo! My friends online call me Faun! I'm 24, amab and use any pronouns! I've run games in the past but I'd love to get some time as a player in a longer term campaign! I have experience with 5e and baldurs gate 3, I got a little addicted to its amazing storytelling and it's got me craving more again after a few years away from ttrpgs, I'm hoping to make some nerdy friends irl to hang out with and grow together as a party! I'm flexible when it comes to the type of game or setting, I absolutely love making characters that fit the world DMs have in mind, I struggle quite badly with a panic disorder and I hope this could be a great step to growing some more resilience! I can't wait to get to know you all!
