Ida

Seeking a gaming group

I'm 25, queer and non-binary :) I've played one long D&D campaign at uni and a one-shot, but am definitely a bit rusty. I moved to Greater Manchester a few months ago and am looking to play D&D and make some new local friends! Happy to travel into central Manchester. My ideal days for a campaign would be Monday evenings, but I can make other evenings work too. I'm pretty nerdy, with my main interests being plants, birdwatching and art, think I'd get along well with anyone who is also nerdy & open to chatting about whatever

GJ Cox

Seeking a book club

Looking for book recommendations and to recommend books. I love all fantasy books of all age groups and am not ashamed to admit I am an adult who loves kids books. Occasional reader of adventure, thriller and horror books also.

GJ Cox recommends:

Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton
Jurassic Park

This is a fantastic book that can get overlooked because the movie is so popular. But what most people do not realise is that the book is so much better and is definitely worth a read.
Milo and the Misfits by C.C. Cassidy
Milo and the Misfits

A great YA cozy fantasy. The characters are amazing and it champions a group of children with life challenges, turning them into strengths, rather than weaknesses

Tegan

Seeking a gaming group

Hi there! My name is Tegan, I’m 24 years old and I’ve been playing D&D for about 3 years now. Up until this point, all my adventures have been online, but I’m really hoping to join a fun and welcoming in-person campaign. I love diving into character stories and collaborating with others to build an immersive world. I’m looking for a group that enjoys roleplay, has a good sense of humor, and doesn’t mind a little chaos here and there. I have payed both 5e rules and 2024 and I love making detailed characters with the space for character development. If you’ve got a seat at your table, I’d love to hear from you.
