Description

Looking for Players – Tabletop Roleplaying in Penrith area I am running an in person RPG game in Askham, near Penrith, and I’m looking for a few more players to join us.

We play currently  a fantasy roleplaying game using the Shadowdark system, in future may be some campaigns in different settings . Think of it as collaborative storytelling: You create a character (like a warrior, rogue, or wizard) I describe the world and situation You decide what your character does Dice rolls help determine what happens The rules are simple and mostly stay in the background—the focus is on creativity, problem-solving, and having fun together. 📍 Location In-person sessions hosted in Askham, near Penrith (Cumbria, UK) We play at  Penrith tabletop gamers club nights Log in to view 🕒 Schedule Group meets fortnightly on Fridays Sessions usually run 18:15 – 21:30 Next session 12th June 2026 (can work offsets from thus point) 👥 Current Group A friendly group of around 3 regular players + GM Relaxed, welcoming atmosphere 🎲 How it works Open table format: You don’t need to attend every session The game world continues even if you miss a session Characters typically start at level 1–2 (or just below the current group) 🌟 What we offer Beginner-friendly environment – we’ll guide you through everything Flexible commitment – come when you can Story-driven gameplay focused on exploration and creativity Potential for additional campaigns if there’s interest 💰Costs I don't charge for my time. The first session is free, following sessions cost £4 to cover hall hire. 🔎 Who we’re looking for Anyone interested in storytelling and group games No experience needed Especially great if you’re local to Penrith or nearby If this sounds interesting or you’re curious and want to know more, feel free to get in touch! 😊

I am looking for 3–4 players for an open-ended campaign set in the Gundam Universal Century timeline!  we will use Owlbear About the Campaign: Timeline: Starting during the One Year War (OYW) and continuing for as long as the story takes us—until the squad either falls in battle or decides to retire. Player Choice Matters: Your starting faction, objectives, and assets will be dictated by the choices you make as a group. You have the power to change the course of UC history or become another victim of its tragedy. Sandbox & Dynamic Storytelling: This is a heavy sandbox campaign. I love building the world around player motivations and goals. Some sessions will be purely character-driven roleplay with little to no combat, while others will drop you straight into gritty, intense battlefields. Custom Art: As a GM bonus, I can provide custom sprite art for your custom Mobile Suits and potentially your characters! What I Ask from Players: Patience & Feedback: I am a first-time GM stepping over to the other side of the screen for my first full campaign (after running a couple of one-shots). I might make mistakes, but I am very open to constructive tips and feedback! Roleplay Focus: We are here to craft a compelling story together, not just min-max or go on kill streaks. If you want to shape the Universal Century, this is your chance.

Ancient Age: The Hunt for a Match

Newbie friendly
New players are welcome, and nobody expects you to know the rules beforehand.
Hello there! I see you have taken an interest in my little post here. Which means something about my title has drawn your attention or you wish to see what this crazy man has to say. Whatever the case, welcome! I am currently looking for players to be a part of a grand adventure set in a fictitious version of Iron Age earth. Where gods and magic are as real as the earth and sky. The best way to describe the setting has to be a mix between EPIC: the Musical and Titan Quest. If this doesn’t drive you away, then you might be the player I am looking for. Before we go any further, a bit of background to help you out. Who am I?: Call me 007 for now. I am a forever GM who has been running games for the better part of 10 years. I have run everything from D&D to Fate, Open Legend, Star Wars, etc. You can say I am a rather experienced GM. The best way to describe my style is story-focused with a collaborative element. I tend to work with players to make the game threatening as well as epic for those involved. If this sounds good to you, we should then get into the brass tacks. What is the System?: This will be a Fantasy Age game from the good people at Green Ronin, though a rather homebrewed version due to my habit of experimentation. I cannot promise a vanilla Fantasy Age experience. Mechanical alterations may occur in certain circumstances as the need arises.  When is this Game?: This game is taking place on Saturdays at 9pm CST. As this is what works for the people already in the game. These times are non-negotiable. What’s the General Setting?: We are playing on a version of Earth during the Iron Age. Long past the time of ancient Greek tales and the old empires from the Bronze Age. The exact year is 550 BC. For those with historical backgrounds or who know their history, yes, we are taking place during the rise of Persia. Meaning the entirety of the Ancient world is available to be explored at your leisure. There are entire lore documents explaining everything that happened, as magic is a part of the world, in contrast to reality. Speaking of Persia. What’s the Story?: Persia is a major part of the story, though our crew is more tied to a specific island nation. Not Cyprus but a close guess. The isle of Crete, as one King sees the writing on the wall. Sending your band of misfits on a journey to other kingdoms. Using your political and social skills to find the perfect match for the king’s daughter. Creating a binding bond that might see them through the storm that will soon plague their nation. In a sense, you guys are royal matchmakers.  With final say over who gets to be wed to the princess, you've been given the unilateral power to determine if Crete somehow survives the coming incursion, or gets swept away (as they were historically). What kind of game are we dealing with?: Mostly of a sandbox nature, with a higher focus on exploration, political intrigue, court politics, and character motivations. As I expect you all to at least travel to half the world before making a particular choice. This game, in terms of percentages, will be 50% roleplay, 10% downtime, and 40% combat. As a result of this spread, I am looking for players who jive with heavy roleplay and are willing to take chances with their characters. This will require your focus and dedication. Those looking for a more passive or casual experience should try to find another game. How long will we be here?: About 2 years.  I hope that gives you enough information to give a general idea of what you are getting into. I have more to say, but we can save that for a one-on-one. For now, I will leave you with some final words. As stated in the title, this will be an 18+ game. We are going through a very violent time with concepts that might be uncomfortable to some people. Sex, Drugs, and other unsavory topics will be discussed through the game. I am looking for players willing to handle such topics respectfully and the gravity they deserve. If at this point nothing has scared you away, I welcome you to find the next part of my post. How do I join your game?: I have made a Google Form. If you want to join, all you have to do is respond to the form. After that, I will get in touch and discuss your potential involvement in my game. For those who wish to join as a couple, family, or other related ties. Have each of you make a response and mention at the bottom who you are in a joint application with. If you do jointly apply, I reserve the right to deny both of you if one does not meet my standard. With that, we come to the end of the post. If you have any questions, feel free to DM me privately. Until then, this is 007 signing off.
