Sandman

Seeking a gaming group

I've been playing D&D since Advanced Dungeons and Dragons (that's basically D&D 2e). I'm looking to join a campaign where everyone uses a camera (whether streamed or not) and with heavy role-playing (Critical Role style with a lot of in-character interaction between players and DM, accents/mannerisms etc). I enjoy combat and exploration too, but all story-driven. I tend toward magic users and other dex-based characters (have usually played wizards, sorcerers, clerics and rangers) but could also explore something completely different if needed (like a Warlock or Bard). I think a DM does lead the game but otherwise is a fellow player and players need to make sure the DM has a good time too. It's not the DM's responsibility to make sure everybody else has a great time or DM vs players; we play together, with the DM, creating stories. If you have or know of any campaign where I could be a great fit, please get in touch with me! πŸ˜€

Jo

Seeking a book club

I’ve always enjoyed reading and would love to take my hobby and turn it into something social so I can meet like minded people. I love fantasy worlds currently reading Empyrean series but I also enjoy other genres if the story line peaks my interest. I’m a working mum but would love to meet up maybe once a month to talk books and swap recommendations.

Beverley

Seeking a book club

I am retired and am an avid book reader. I’ve been in a book club before and I like that it got me to read things that I would never have chosen, many of which I loved. I moved to the area last year and would like to join another club and meet book lovers like me.

Beverley recommends:

Still Life by Sarah Winman

A young British soldier meets an older female art historian in Florence during World War II and the story traces their lives for decades. It is beautifully written and life affirming

JohnCBL

Seeking a gaming group

I played D&D when it first came out in the 70s and continued into the 80s, but not since. I would like to find any local players/club locally that play RPG games or even D&D. I'm a sIxty something lapsed RPG gamer, but still play Civilisation, Carcassonne, Setters of Catan, when ever I get a chance, which isn't often enough.
