Jamie

Gaming group

Got some of the gear but no idea but looking to start into the world of TTRPG its been something that ive been wanting to get into for years but now ive taken the steps to do what ive always want to try and if anyone is wanting to help a complete novice I would appreciate the help and guidance. I work full-time over 4 night and I know it going to be difficult for me to find a local group in Atherton Leigh or Bolton that can fit within my constraints but here's hoping to finding something

Seeking a gaming group

Relatively new player to DnD 5e (2024). I've played various one shots and I'm up for playing more or joining a longer campaign. I'm also interested in playing other TTRPGs (Daggerheart, Shadowdark, DCC) and I recently played a Pirate Borg one shot which was a lot of fun.

RAW

Seeking a gaming group

Ive played D&D a fair bit now and I am quite young at 15 but the people my age are all very immature and I can't seem to enjoy it so I want go find a group that will seriously play the game while still joking and having fun My friend is the same so it would be two players who love to joke and have fun but also love the game to have a serious story plot puzzles and combats to play through Thanks! ๐Ÿ˜‹

The main character book club

Seeking a book club

Hello! I am looking to start a Manchester-based book club centered around dark romance, spicy fiction, and all our favorite morally grey characters. I'm looking to connect with fellow readers in the area who love fast-paced plots, high stakes, and good banter, both on the page and over a drink!

Zeyad

Gaming group

Hi everyone, I put a listing here as a player looking for a group but I decided it is much faster to set up my own group. I already have one player besides me who wants to play but is also willing to DM at first. This friend of mine is quite experienced in DnD and other tabletop RPGs. Myself, not so much, but I did a couple of sessions of DnD in the past and had a blast. I am not hesitant to learn any new systems if that is what the group agrees on. Only way to do it is to do it I say. Both me and him are based in Manchester and would prefer a group that is local or close enough to commute without it being a hassle for them. The place to meet and play is already scoped out (Fanboythree). Anyone looking to have a fun imaginative time with enough junk food to kill them 3 times over is welcome. Pretty much anyone is welcome except people who will take the game way too seriously gameplay wise. Not referring to the roleplaying aspect as we all want to have a good time here. PS: of course, any suggestions regarding place to meet and location are welcome.

Charlie

Seeking a gaming group

I've played and ran TTRPGs with friends for a while and am always looking for new people to play with. I personally am a sucker for systems outside of DnD 5e but I've played and ran my fair share of that too. I'm in my mid 20s and am based in central Manchester. I generally run and play in the afternoons/evenings after work, or on Saturdays.

Zeyad

Seeking a gaming group

Hi there good people, I am looking for a DnD game group. Campaigns or one shots, I am good either way. Not averesed to any other RPG game. Anything to work the creative muscle. I am hoping to DM in the future but would like to get my feet wet first as I have only barely played DnD before. Just a couple of sessions. Fun though. I am based in Manchester and preferably would like a group based there as well. And hey, if no groups are available, let's get in touch and start our own.

The Burning Truth
by S.T Author | Learn more and buy
It is unusual and not your usual crime thriller. Based in Lancashire and features a female lead aged over 40 with a tragic background story which follows her through the book with an insidiously nail biting thread.
The Burning Truth
by S.T Author | Learn more and buy
This crime thriller is unusual at only about 40,000 words. It's a great Sunday read or holiday read. The main character, Lizzie Holland is in her 40's when she joins the police after a tragedy. This book not only has murder and mystery but also an insidiously nail biting background thread. Highly recommend.

Seeking a book club

well as my profile name suggests Im a bookaholic and proud! I read everyday I generally use my kindle or an audiobook for convenience but I do love the smell of a new book! If really love a book I have it in all formats (hardback or paperback, Kindle book and Audiobook) I read a variety of genres but mainly Romance in all forms (Dark/Historical/Romcom/Romantasy/Contemporary/RH) None of my friends/family understand my obsession with books I would love to have someone to talk about books with.
