Scott

Seeking a gaming group

Hi! I've loved DnD for over a decade now but haven't been able to join a game for over a year, so I may be a little rusty! I adore roleplay over combat so please expect silly voices and accents and interactions. I'm also a big fan of Sci-fi RPGs like the Alien RPG, Fallout RPG and Mothership. I have all the physical books but have never been able to play them IRL!

Seeking a book club

I spend so much time with my head in text books for my job and have lost the love of reading. I want to join a group of people who have the enthusiasm for a good book and a good conversation to revitalize this part of myself again.

Lisa

Seeking a book club

Hi, I'm Lisa! I am a dual citizen (Canadian/English) who came to England in 2010 when I fell in love with my British boyfriend (and I fell in love with the UK!) I'm an avid reader and would say I read most genres but I'm not big into fantasy/sci fi. My favourite genres are thrillers, horror, romance (contemporary, historical and everything in between), Japanese literature (especially if it's about cats), general fiction and classics. I love reading, cats, Taylor Swift and cosy hobbies. I've been part of an online book club for 8 years or so but would love to meet someone nearby who shares similar interests to me. :) It would be nice to find a few people in the local area and maybe do an online book club (on messenger, facebook or discord) and if it feels like a good fit, think about meeting in person. I'm in my late 30's, looking to talk to other women who are bookworms like me!

Phil

Seeking a gaming group

Veteran wargamer looking for gamers in the local area. My current focus is the World of Tanks Miniatures Game, Flames of War, AoS and boxed games like Hero Quest. Keen to get playing Carnevale and give games like Horus Heresy and Legions Imperialis a go. I’ve got the new version of Star Trek Adventures but I’ve barely scratched the surface with that. I’ve also got a fair bit of X Wing stuff, Battlefleet Gothic and Mordheim which would be nice to dust off

Yuki

Seeking a gaming group

Been playing D&D for 6 years, and moving to the area, and want to get myself feeling comfortable (and d&d is a comfort game😁) I like overarching stories with players characters making a real imprint on the world, but am absolutely happy to step back and let a character shine for an arch, and enjoy the roller coaster even if all my dude ends up doing is playing with a cat and RPing the odd time (observing be fun, jst not all the time)
