Seeking a book club

I love philosophy, talking about it and living it. I love real stories, biographies and historical fiction novels. I have just read the nightingale by Kristin Hannah and loved it. I’m reading the Women now, also brilliant. Wish I had read more when I was younger. I’m early 50s now.

Raltair

Gaming group

I'd say I'm a semi-experienced DM. My Idea of a fun campaign is one with a good mix of combat and exploring. My favorite campaign genre is Mystery and would love to run a local game with this.

Caroline

Seeking a gaming group

Looking for a group to play Curse of Strahd with! I love gothic horror and am looking for a group who are roleplay-heavy and ready to explore the emotional depth of this campaign. Don't mind if DM sticks to the book strictly or not. Have played this campaign once before, but it ended badly because DM was very controlling, exhibited favouritism towards one player and saw it as a 'players vs DM' situation, which was a shame. While this campaign is definitely not meant to be easy, I don't think it should be impossible.

Adventure seeker

Seeking a gaming group

42 year old male looking for a group who is willing to bring in a very new player to ttrpg. Looking for a classic d&d style experience but open to other systems. It would be more important to find the right group. Believe I would prefer a balanced type experience with story and not just a combat focused experience. Want to play in person. Not online.

Seeking a book club

I like almost every genre except Sci-fi and Horror. Could meet up once a month, look forward to making new friends.

BookReader79 recommends:

Love‘s Executioner
by I. D. Yalom | Learn more and buy
Irvin Yalom gives detailed and deeply affecting accounts of his work with these and seven other patients. Deep down, all of them were suffering from the basic human anxieties - isolation, fear of death or freedom, a sense of the meaninglessness of life - that none of us can escape completely. And yet, as the case histories make touchingly clear, it is only by facing such anxieties head on that we can hope to come to terms with them and develop. Throughout, Dr Jalom remains refreshingly frank about his own errors and prejudices; his book provides a rare glimpse into the consulting room of a master therapist. 'Dr Yalom demonstrates once again that in the right hands, the stuff of therapy has the interest of the richest and most inventive fiction' Eva Hoffman, New York Times 'These remarkably moving and instructive tales of the psychiatric encounter bring the reader into novel territories of the mind.
