StarGlider

Seeking a gaming group

North Bristol - plenty of past experience; DM for most of it; don't mind DMing again but would be my Home Brew stuff - not really into reading rules at the table and I like grittier DnD - storm the dungeon, grab the loot, kill everything, save the Princess type of thing; not an actor or over dramatic, canny do accents, but like a good laugh and meeting new peeps

Seeking a gaming group

Hi, i’m 38M and looking to join a D&D group, i have had some experience, and the last campaign i was in got disbanded so didn’t get past 4th lvl. I’m very open to the type of genre of game, and have played stuff from comic fantasy to something a little more gritty somber. But the main thing i want to do id just meet some nice people, make friends and have a great time πŸ™‚

I am a mother of 3 and my children have just started schools/preschool so I have time for myself again. I used to love reading before I had children and would love to make some new friends and discuss our thoughts about books over coffee!

I have never read anything else like it. The sense of exploration and scientific wonder - and isolation from the world - is incredibly appealing!

Lu

Seeking a book club

We would like to start a book club in Southmead but wondering how we can make it accessible to people who would not be able to purchase a book every few weeks.

Jonathan Gwilliams

Seeking a gaming group

Long-time gamer, sometime Indie RPG author and TTRPG reviewer. I strongly prefer short-form narrative-led games, unusual and bizarre settings, Indie games and rules-lite or medium systems. Favourites include Everway, FATE, the Mutant: Year Zero line of games, Mouse Guard, Barbarians of Lemuria and Sorcerer. Happy to play or GM - I tend to run freeform, player-led, open world scenarios.

Hello! I have just moved to Bristol and am looking to join a book group or even just meet others who love books like I do! I’m a 26 year old woman and I enjoy psychological thrillers, crime books, dystopians, feel good books, drama’s, mental health/crime narrative non-fiction, and the occasional well written romance. My favourite recent reads are: The Book Thief, The Devil You Know, Romantic Comedy, Before I go to Sleep, All the Colours of the Dark, Daisy Jones & the Six, Room, and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.

Jaq

Seeking a gaming group

I'm a DM/ world creator for Dungeons and Dragons 5e. I'm not HUGELY theatrical, but I make great content and lore. I craft games both inside the realm of DnD, as well as using DnD mechanics/rules to run spoof and non-medieval campaigns. My campaigns are for those that like light-hearted comedy mixed in with their deeper lore and storytelling. Message if that interests you.
