AWanderingGM

Seeking a gaming group

I'm one of those former creative professionals and tech guy who ended up somehow landing up high on the corporate ladder and now love to explore their stories and the like in RP settings while writing their stories and the like. Currently GMing two campaigns in DND (5e/AD&D hybrid) across a few settings and running other systems as one-shots. I play once in a while but enjoying GMing these crazy crafted story worlds. Just looking to find one player for one of my campaigns - it's all about fit here.

Su

Seeking a book club

Never joined a book club before so this is a first. I WFH so I would love to be able to get out of the house more and meet like-minded people who are passionate about books and anything bookish related. I'm a Black Muslim Woman so it would be great to meet people of similar background but I'm open to everyone from all walks of life. I enjoy fantasy, historical fiction, literary fiction (speculative, translated), sci-fi. I would love to indulge in other people's thoughts and views about books they have read and discuss till we're dry in the mouth.

One Left

by Kim Soom | Learn more and buy

It is a hard book to stomach but important for understanding the levels of unimaginable cruelty the "comfort women" (Korean girls) were subjected under Imperial Japan.

Kate

Looking to join a book club (fiction and non-fiction) in central London.

Missing being in a book group since moving to central London 6 years ago. Two local ladies and I would like to start a book group (fiction and non-fiction). Anyone local to Farringdon / Clerkenwell want to join us?

Bookish

Seeking a book club

Hi I love reading and am a huge advocate of reading for pleasure. I would love to have the chance to discuss books that I have read.

Rosie

Seeking a gaming group

I'm a very enthusiastic player with a reasonable amount of experience of 5e and a little experience GMing. I love world building and contributing to story and I would say I lean more towards roleplay rather than solely combat- definitely not a murder hobo! I would love to find a group of people who want to work on a campaign long term or who would be interested in making a podcast, but that seems like a bit of a long shot. I work as a early years teacher during the day and have lots of other nerdy hobbies like reading, writing and gaming.

DT

Seeking a book club

Hello! I'm an avid reader with a keen interest in science, history, and philosophy. I love books that expand my knowledge and offer new perspectives on subjects I previously knew little about. I also enjoy historical narratives, always seeking to understand the world and our context better. I'm excited to join a book club to share insights and discover new thought-provoking reads

If Nietzsche Were a Narwhal

by Justin Gregg | Learn more and buy

It explores how non-human animals perceive the world and compares their cognitive abilities with humans. It argues that humans' intellectual traits, which we consider superior, might actually lead to our self-destruction, while simpler animal cognition might be more effective for survival. The book blends humor, philosophy, and science to challenge our understanding of intelligence and suggests that humans' cognitive complexities aren't necessarily the pinnacle of evolution but a different, sometimes problematic path. I like it fresh perspective on survival and intelligence. It makes me feel very grounded.

BeginnerReader2003

Seeking a book club

Hi I'm a university student looking to get into reading and trying to be consistent with it. I enjoy reading but find it difficult to get myself to sit down for a long time to actually read. I'd like the accountability that a book club with give me and I'd also love to meet other people who are interested in reading.

Ben

Amy

Seeking a book club

25F based in South London (Wandsworth Borough). I want to start a local book club but have no idea where to start, so I thought I'd post here! I love books but need the kind of motivation to read that a book club would give me. I am into general fiction, mystery, fantasy, sci-fi, contemporary, classics and open to anything else. Some of my favourite books are The Secret History, Lonely Castle in the Mirror and The Kite Runner. Also love weird books like Bunny by Mona Awad. If you are relatively local and want to help start a book club/already have one let me know !!
