Looking for Players – Tabletop Roleplaying/Adventure Game in Keswick (Beginner Friendly!)
Hi everyone! I run an in-person tabletop fantasy roleplaying game in Keswick and I’m looking for a few more players to join us.
If you’ve never played before—no problem at all. New players are very welcome, and we’re happy to teach everything you need to know.
# 🧭 What is this game?
We play a fantasy roleplaying game using the Shadowdark system. Think of it as collaborative storytelling:
You create a character (like a warrior, rogue, or wizard)
I describe the world and situations
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 Keswick (Cumbria, UK)
# 🕒 Schedule
Sessions usually run 18:30 – 22:00, There may be some leeway on the times.
We aim for weekly or fortnightly games, but at minimum once a month
