Ian

Seeking a gaming group

53 year old who loves roleplaying games. Mainly Warhammer FRP first edition but have recently purchased 4th edition. Looking for 3-4-5 others who want to invest in 1-2 sessions per week. You will be invited to play once an initial pub test has been passed, where we meet up, have a couple of beers, discuss what we want and see it's all compatible then we get down to some intense gaming! Once I sort the spare room (carpet.. lick of paint), we can all jam at my place! I live in Wallsend! Thanks!!

His Dark Materials: North Light
by Philip Pullman | Learn more and buy
A great first book in a brilliant trilogy, it's amazing to read no matter what age you are. The world building in this series is really well done and the characters are really well developed.

It's a great fantasy with interesting characters. There are plans to turn it into a TV series so good to discuss fan casts

Vicki

Seeking a book club

I'm an avid book reader - and like pretty much everything (once an English Lit girly, always an English Lit girly) huge Joan Didion fan and love a great memoir by someone odd, and fiction of almost all genres. I do have a hard time with badly written smut, but devour it all the same. Looking to meet new people, have a chatter box and giggle about books with new pals.

Charlie

Seeking a book club

A lover of romance and fantasy who would love some friends to chat about this with, as my boyfriend is sick of hearing about it! Would love to be able to connect with people with the same interests and head out for coffee and a good bookish gossip!

Lu Davies (:

Seeking a gaming group

I'm Lu, I'm 17 (18 soon!) and i love playing dnd, I've been playing since i was 14 but haven't had a solid group in a while. I usually play sorcerers because that magic system makes the most sense to me. I like joking and being stupid but i can be serious for a campaign if the rest of the group is. i have ADHD and ASD so please forgive me if my attention is a little lacking. I have DM'd a couple times before and prefer to work with groups no bigger than 4 including myself, but that's not a hard rule.

Quintessence

This is the first RH I read and it wasn’t only a brilliant introduction to the subject within this genre but also lead me to this amazing author.

How to kill your family  by Bella Mackie
How to kill your family
by Bella Mackie | Learn more and buy
It has an addictive plot with a really unlikable main character but you can't help rooting for her as the story draws you in . Can't wait for her next book

Seeking a book club

I love reading from all genres but Fantasy in particular. I enjoy using goodreads/ bookstagram and book signings as a way to connect with people. I don’t know many readers IRL so I’d love to find some people to discuss literature and connect with.
