Dyane

Seeking a gaming group

Hi, I’m a 24 year old trans woman. In the centre of Manchester, super new to the area and honestly just looking to make friends and people to hang out with. I’m very familiar with DnD 5e and the newer releases and would be happy to either be a player or DM in a group for that. Somewhat familiar with Mage the Ascension and a few other miscellaneous games/systems.

Seeking a gaming group

Joe

Seeking a book club

I'm Joe, 30s and looking to expand my social circle via reading and sharing thoughts on books. My reading varies in genre, but literary fiction and memoirs are a personal favourite. Other than reading, I like looking after my pets, gardening, and volunteering in the local area.

Luke (Player)

Gaming group

(19M) I'm a player posting this again on behalf of my DM, Lucas, who has posted a listing here previously. We haven't yet received any applications despite many attempts on other sites, so please do reach out if the campaign interests you. Me and my DM are looking for 4 players, a minimum of 18 years old with the ability to attend reliably. The location would be Monstrous Light Games in Ashton and will take place between 12:30 and 17:00 every Saturday. The campaign would be a homebrewed version of Call of The Netherdeep. We use a good bit of 3rd party books for our games, picking what works best for us. If you want to use any homebrew yourself just show us first. You don't have to use homebrew yourself if you don't want to engage with it. Vanilla classes and subclasses are welcome. We're also willing to homebrew already existing things, just ask. Our games tend to be reasonably challenging. Death is a possibility for NPCs and players but we won't be doing a meat grinder. The world the module takes place in has also been homebrewed, so it's also a mix of the DM's own inspirations and the actual setting Exandria. If you are interested please do email.

Costel

Seeking a gaming group

31 y.o. male live near Moston. Looking to be a player in a DnD Campaign. I started getting into it as many did through Baldur's Gate 3 where I spent 800+ hours. I also regularly watch campaigns like Critical Role and Dimension 20 so I'd say I'm fairly familiar with the ruleset and how the game works, just not had a chance to find a proper DnD group to start playing IRL. As a result, I'm interested in a fairly serious campaign to get into where I'd be happy to commit to a regular weekly schedule. Looking for like minded people who want to really get stuck into the fantasy and role-playing element.

BookishGirl :)

Seeking a book club

Hi, I am a female in my late 20s, looking to join a book club with another soul. We are both social creatures and would love to meet new people. Our interests are varied & we would love the social side of a book club as much as the reading and discussion itself :)

Ryan

Seeking a gaming group

I love gaming, from TTRPG's to video games, to books, and so on. I recently moved to the UK and I am chasing the high that only a group of intrepid adventurers can satiate! I am accepting, open, and opinionated, but start of as a bit shy. I would love to find a group of players to join on an adventure, and build friendships along the way.

Shannon

Seeking a book club

Hi! I’m 30 and live just 15 minutes away from Manchester town centre. I’m looking to make some new friends discussing my number one passion: books! I mainly read fantasy, but have recently been expanding out into horrors, thrillers, and sci-fi. Have a wonderful day! :)

Shannon recommends:

The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson
The Final Empire
by Brandon Sanderson | Learn more and buy
Every single moment is actin-packed, and every single book in this series has a fantastic twist and heart wrenching moments, the conclusion of this trilogy has really yet to be topped in my eyes! This introduced me to Brandon Sanderson‘s writing and just cemented him as forever fave and immediate auto-buy author for me.
The Forgetting Moon
by Brian Lee Durfee | Learn more and buy
The characters (especially the dog, Beer Mug) are such a wonderful mix of likeable and easily despise-able, the world is vast and well crafted, and the stakes are so high, you have absolutely no clue. What will happen next!
Assassin’s Apprentice
by Robin Hobb | Learn more and buy
Do you want your heart absolutely shattered into a million teeny tiny pieces? If yes, may I introduce you to the amazing Robin Hobb and her poor fictional child; Fitzchivalry Farseer. I love this book so much I submitted my own beaten, loved and annotated copy as part of my Masters dissertation.

Recently back in the area, and I'd love to find a monthly book club for other bookish folks! Especially 30s/40s, feminist and queer literature and non fiction, ideally somewhere that meets in a pub with readers who want to meet new people!

Deena

Seeking a book club

Hi I'm Deena, Im 23 and live near Bolton and would love to make some bookish friends or join a book club. I mostly read rom-coms and sometimes fantasy but can be open to other recommendations, there just needs to be banter. I am a worshiper of all academic rivals to lovers books... something about them is just MMMMMH iykyk! I feel it's important to mention that i do boycott certain authors due to their links to zionism or the zionist 'state'. You can read what you want but I won't want to chat about certain books (ACOTAR, Fourth Wing etc.) due to this.

21yo Trans man and relatively beginner TTRPG player with limited experience in a few D&D one-shots. Looking to get into playing more, finding a group and exploring different possible TTRPGs. Specifically interested in D&D or Fallout The Roleplaying Game. Mainly in Bolton but I have no inconvenience with commuting to either Manchester or Bury.
