Segre

Seeking a gaming group

Have been playing D&D for many years on and off - most recently 5th ed. and mostly via Discord as Swanage is a bit of a desert for D&D I have found. When is the broadcast on Purbeck Sounds, please?Never DM'd. I play lots of other tabletop games when I get the chance - Dominion, Catan, etc.
