🎲 Tuesday Night RPG — Players Wanted! I’m looking to put together a regular VTT RPG night, starting Tuesday 8th September, and running every other Tuesday, 7pm–10pm. The exact game and VTT will depend on what we fancy playing. Possible systems include: ⚔️ Draw Steel — heroic fantasy, tactical combat and big cinematic encounters 🌲 Forbidden Lands — gritty exploration, survival and dangerous wilderness 🚀 Savage Worlds Sci-Fi — fast, pulpy space adventure 💀 Dungeon Crawl Classics — weird, dangerous, gloriously old-school fantasy For VTTs, I’m currently considering Fantasy Grounds, TaleSpire or The Codex, depending on the game. The idea is to have a friendly, regular group who enjoy actually playing rather than spending six weeks discussing character builds! 😄 You don't need to know any of the systems beforehand. I'll provide whatever rules/materials are needed and we'll learn as we go. When: Every other Tuesday Time: 7pm–10pm Starting: Tuesday 8th September Where: Online/VTT Experience: Beginners absolutely welcome If you're interested, let me know — particularly if one or more of those games sounds like your cup of tea. Bring dice*, imagination and a willingness to make questionable decisions in dangerous fictional worlds. Although this is VTT, I would like to keep it relatively local in case we ever want to meet in person. This will not be my first rodeo...we have been playing online for about 5 years now.

Hi. My name is Stephen, and I have just self-published my first book, which is being sold on Amazon. It's the first in a series of five detective stories set in the imaginary ski resort of Schneeburg in the Austrian Alps. Klara Hartmann is the inspector I also have a website set up to help publicise the book - Stephen Hudson – Author Website. Getting the word out there is the one issue facing me at present. Would love you to give it a read. Stephen

Seeking a book club
I live just outside of Dorchester. I enjoy all sorts of books, but really love quite dark and beautifully written books, and stories with complex characters. My favourite book of all time is The Secret History by Donna Tartt, which I've read over 10 times. I am hoping joining a book club could introduce me to something different. Mostly, though, I'd like to find a like-minded group to share my passion for reading.

Seeking a book club
Looking to Join or Start a Social Book Club in Dorchester Hi everyone! I'm looking to join a friendly, social book club in Dorchester. I enjoy reading a wide range of genres—fiction, non-fiction, thrillers, fantasy, contemporary, and more—but I tend to avoid historical fiction and intense horror. Ideally, I'd love to meet every 2 weeks, perhaps on a Sunday afternoon at a cosy coffee shop in town. I'm also very open to making new friends and chatting about books, life, and everything in between. If you're part of a group like this or would be interested in starting one together, please do get in touch!

Early 40’s - former warhammer and bolt action player, and some experience with D&D 5th edition. New to the area and don’t know many people, or any gamer types! Would like to find a group of likeminded geek types to play with maybe a couple times a month. My wife has played once before and loved it so might also be tempted to play too.
