Joseph
Gaming group
Hi there! I’m looking for fellow TTRPG nerds in the Gateshead/Newcastle area. I’m a lifelong tabletop enthusiast who’s always dreamed of diving into D&D, but I’ve never quite had the party to make that leap. I’ve played tons of genre-adjacent games—Pathfinder CRPGs, crunchy board games, narrative-heavy strategy titles—but I’ve always craved something more stat-driven and collaborative. While I’ve got friends who dabble, none are quite ready to commit to full-on campaign life. So instead of waiting, I’ve started building one myself. The setting? A post-climate collapse world where carnivorous forests have swallowed the lowlands, and vast mountain citadels house what remains of civilization. Think towering canopy sieges, fungal ruins, and ancient machines gnawed by roots and rust. It’s coming together really well, but I’d love to find a group to bring it to life. I’m new to running games but passionate and well-prepared. If you’re into immersive storytelling, collaborative world-building, and are cool with a bit of ecological horror, I’d love to chat. Whether you’re a seasoned player or curious newcomer, let’s roll some dice and see where the wilds take us.

Seeking a book club
Hi! My name is Becca and I enjoy reading a mix of genres, typically switching between fantasy themed books and fiction! I was looking at starting/joining a small circle that gets together for a cuppa and reads short books of all different genres. Another idea - my background and interests centre around environmentalism, and if people are interested I would love to start a space specifically centered around that!

Experienced 5E player but I love other TTRPGS too like LANCER and Warhammer Fantasy (Though I haven't had the oppurtunity to play either). I love the social aspects of roleplaying especially with a good group that doesn't take it too too serious. :)
