ImpishMischief

Seeking a gaming group

Hello! My name is Tim or Imp, I am 32 years old, and I'm looking for a new gaming group (or potentially several). I am an experienced TTRPG player, I have been playing since childhood, I am a storytelling focused player and GM, and I have even been fortunate enough to run a few campaigns on a professional basis, as well as an official campaign for Wizards of the Coast (admittedly, way back when 5E D&D was first introduced). While I prefer to DM, I am also more than happy being a player as well. I have experience playing and running campaigns and one offs for the following systems; D&D (3.5, 4, 5. No experience with the new 2024 ruleset, unfortunately). Ten Candles. Cyberpunk Red. Vampire: The Masquerade. Call of Cthulhu. Valiant. I am interested in playing or running games in the following systems (all of which I have the rulebooks for); Kids on Bikes/Kids on Brooms. Blades in the Dark. I am interested in playing or running games in the following systems (which I do not yet have copies of the rules for); Daggerheart. Alice is Missing. Slugblaster. Heart. Mythic Bastionland. Obviously, these lists are not-exhaustive, and I'm open to discussing and playing in many different worlds and themes. I also have many ideas for my own worlds and campaigns that I'd be more than happy to share with you all. I have a Virtual Tabletop so I can play with anyone around the UK, and I am more than happy to meet up in local libraries and pubs for games or just coffee and discussions on TTRPGs (obviously, providing I can get there). Mostly, I'm looking for friends and fellow fans of this lovely hobby of ours, and to create and share some incredible stories around a table. If I sound like someone that even you would be interested in chatting with, I would love for you to get in contact. Thanks for reading all of that spiel, I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Lydia

Seeking a gaming group

Avid gamer, quiet nerd, looking for a dnd group to join as a player. I’m interested in one day writing a campaign but I need practise in playing first. I’ve played a small campaign as a cleric before and a one shot as a barbarian. I’m a bit rusty on the rules so a lowkey, not too serious group would suit me best. I won’t be able to guarantee the same time every week but I’ll try my best to dedicate time to dnd. Online would suit as I’m a bit shy but eventually I person would be great!

Seeking a book club

Like a book club environment with a range of opinions on the same book. Fascinating.

BookReader recommends:

Bridges of Madison County by Robert James Waller
Bridges of Madison County
by Robert James Waller | Learn more and buy
Love story, best-selling book that dominated the sales charts in 1993-94 – in 1995 film was released starring Meryl Streep and Clint Eastwood. A story set in the 1960’s about an Iowa farm wife who meets a National Geographic photographer by chance while her family is away at the Illinois State Fair. Two strangers from different worlds — Robert Kincaid, the free-roaming, globe-trotting photographer, and Francesca Johnson, the Iowa-based farm wife living by the mid-American norms of the day whereby feminism has no place, and a wife stays put for life. The two strike up an intense, short-lived love affair. However, reality and responsibility soon intrude, and the affair ends. The two lovers, torn by separation, return to their previous lives and live out their days longing for what ‘could have been’. The story swept over America, hence the film.

Seeking a gaming group

Hiya, kinda a double posting. Firstly I have a spot open for a currently going in-person session, this is a villain session where players are doing a preset campaign up to level 10 before stepping into the role of the BBEGs, for this im currently looking for only one player and will be slightly picky this is in a homebrewed world of mine which ive mashed several bits of TPP into it such as steinharts and the corpus malicicous books. on a unrelated note im also looking for a campaign both me and my partner can join, whilst i have plenty of experience my partner struggles to focus on sessions due to his unmedicated adhd (we think) ideally would like a dm i can send Third party things too.

Annie

Seeking a book club

I love reading fiction and I’m open to reading other genres. Seems the local book club is full so I’m hoping to meet a community of readers like myself to make our own. I don’t always feel motivated to read and think having a book club would be positive influence :)
