Martin

Seeking a gaming group

Experienced GM for a number of TTRPG systems but most proficient with D&D 5e (pre-2024) with a number of multi-year campaigns under my belt running them and as a player. I have also been fortunate enough to be a player in a number of multi-year campaigns in other systems such as Stars Without Number, 13th Age, Traveller, Vampire The Masquerade, Exalted etc. โ€Ž โ€Ž I love a good mixture of RP, Social Encounters, Exploration and meaningful Combat that isn't a simple dungeon crawl. I prioritise the collaborative story telling of the group above the absolute following of the rules but do not shy away from the necessary "crunch" where ever applicable. I learn systems very quickly and ensure that I create characters that are mechanically sound to assist the party but try my utmost to make character with interesting flair that engages with the rest of the party. โ€Ž โ€Ž For IRL groups, I'm the "drinks guy" and happy to contribute to the table to keep us refresh. โ€Ž โ€Ž I am generally available weekday evenings depending on the days. I won't be able to commit to any weekend play, unfortunately. โ€Ž โ€Ž I'm based very west London (not too far from Heathrow) and can commit for IRL games that are a driveable distance.

Seeking a gaming group

I used to play 5e regularly but since moving to London I haven't had a group to play with, some experience as a DM with an improvise and note down style rather than fully cemented paths, all the better for you to de-rail <3 west london

I grew up playing 3.5D&D and played a little of 5e. I now prefer more narrative focus systems. I'm really interested in Call Of Cthulhu at the moment and my hope is to find a group to play, possibly live. I'm in north London.

Giuseppe

Seeking a book club

I'm an avid reader with a passion for sci-fi and horror, but I also enjoy diving into the classics, historical novels, and fantasy. I'm also fascinated by modern retellings of Greek and ancient myths, always looking for fresh takes on timeless stories.

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke
Piranesi
by Susanna Clarke | Learn more and buy
Piranesi by Susanna Clarke is a hauntingly atmospheric novel set in a mysterious, labyrinthine world. The story follows the protagonist, Piranesi, who lives in an endless house filled with towering statues, vast oceans, and intricate, uncharted spaces. As he uncovers unsettling truths about his existence and the world around him, the narrative delves into themes of memory, reality, and identity. Clarke's lyrical prose and intricate world-building create a captivating and enigmatic journey that leaves readers questioning the nature of their own perceptions.
