Find D&D and tabletop RPG groups in United Kingdom

Hi, I am currently DMing a game on alternate wednesday evenings in Woking, UK. Due to a change in workload, I am going to have to step down as DM and am looking for a replacement for the group. There are 6 of us with a wide range of experience from one player who has only ever played a few sessions all the way upto players who have been playing for decades. The campaign is fairly new (about 3 sessions). Players are level 2 and are running through Lost Mines of Phandelver. They are happy for a new DM to takeover from where they are or to start a new campaign. They are not bothered about whether it is homebrew or a module - but they would like a healthy, balanced mix of combat, exploration, and roleplay and prefer high fantasy over scifi or  steam punk. They don't mind starting a campaign from scratch, but wouldlike to keep their character concepts if they can. The group is a great mix of personalities and I have loved DMing for them. Let me know if you are interested.

Looking for new players for shadowdark RPG games in Keswick,Cumbria.  I have an established gaming group and am looking to expand session frequency through additional players Group is new player friendly Shadowdark is a rules-lite d20 system with OSR vibes. Open to other game systems in the future. Current casual  campaign is a west marches style setup where each session an expedition party leaves a central base to explore the world through rumours and previous expedition logs , each session ends with surviving party members returning to base.  Looking for players wanting to play sessions between weekly and monthly cadence, If is enough players available on a day(3+) then I will run a session/expedition.

We're presently looking for new players.  We've been running gaming sessions at a historic pub in Nottingham for the last 10 years. Right now, we're about halfway through a masks of nyarlathotep campaign.  If gaming, beer, insanity and cosmic horror that man was not meant to wot of are your thing, we have exactly what you need. Oh, and beer.

Hello!      (QUITE A WORDY DESCRIPTION BUT TOTALLY WORTH READING) I ran a 6 month DnD Campaign earlier this year and had such a good time with it that we're looking to do it all again in the near future, this time in a Cyberpunk/Dystopian setting :) Our last campaign was extremely narrative heavy and I imagine we will lean into that just as hard this next time. I am pretty relaxed about the rules and happy to bend things if it makes for a better moment. The main goal is to have a great time and create something that feels a bit more like a story experience than just a TTRPG. 5 players worked great last time and with 3 of the original group returning we’re looking for 2 or maybe 3 more at most. It’ll be another 6-month campaign, playing weekly on either Saturday or Sunday. Obviously, the occasional planned absence or emergency is completely fine, but everyone should realistically be able to make almost every session. I tend to tie the story quite closely to individual characters, so having people consistently there makes a big difference. I also like putting a bit of effort into the atmosphere (lighting, music, sound effects, set pieces, maps, etc). The last campaign even ended up involving a weekend away for an important part of the story and if all goes well we will totally do something like that again. Campaigns require a real commitment not only to the DM but also to the other players. I can safely say that despite none of us knowing each other before the 1st campaign we are all really good friends now and we hope to make more in the form of a couple new faces for this one! If you're interested, have questions, or just want to know a bit more about what we're planning, feel free to message me. Thanks for reading!

Planning to run a campaign eventually with WFRP next year but planning a few oneshots in Oct/Nov/Dec. Will be using Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 5th edition (only just released) I hope To find some like minded players or just to have a oneshot laugh with new people and maybe bring some people to the game. Beginners more than welcome (some of my group are from DnD and new to Warhammer). If you’re interested drop me a message and tell me a bit about you. For the oneshots I will likely make a load of varied characters with enough choice that there will be something you want to play. This is so that we can get straight into it and learn the rules as we go. Likely play on Weekends usually at Arcanists Tavern in Hackney. For those new to Warhammer: it’s a more grim and more perilous world, set in the Human empire, you have a species: Human, dwarf, halfling, high elf, wood elf. Career: each career has 4 tiers and the idea is you progress in this (or swap to a more appealing one) you may start as a Grave robber but end up as Indiana Jones/Lara Croft type. No game breaking abilities but powerful nonetheless. A bit about me: in my 40s. Group is 30-40s but anyone welcome. I’ve run WFRP as a kid (1st Ed) and as an adult have run 2nd edition. I also play in two DnD 5e campaigns and have DMd a 5e campaign. I plan to go back to Warhammer, love the setting and find the lower power and more brutal Warhammer appealing rather than the quick power jumps. Love to make the character important: the more you give the more you get back! Message me if interested or want more info.

Hello! We have a group of 5 players wanting to start a campaign, and we're looking for a DM. We're an extremely friendly group, mix of experiences and backgrounds. We'd like to play DnD 5/5.5e, classic setting, good mix of narrative/RP/combat. Want to meet every Thursday at the Wharf pub, Castlefield. Let me know if interested!

Gundam Missions is a cooperative tactical tabletop RPG for up to 5 players plus a Game Master (GM). It combines elements of tabletop RPGs, miniature wargames and tactical board games, with the focus placed on teamwork, objective-based missions and Mobile Suit combat rather than simply destroying every enemy on the battlefield. Each player takes the role of a pilot and controls their own Mobile Suit throughout the campaign. The GM runs the enemy forces, mission events, objectives and the wider campaign narrative. As the campaign progresses, players earn rewards, develop their pilots, customise their mission loadouts and gain access to new equipment and tactical options. Missions include scenarios such as Destroy, Escort, Sabotage, Capture and Rescue, alongside larger boss-style encounters. These are connected by light storytelling and an ongoing campaign narrative, eventually building towards a final confrontation with the campaign's recurring enemy commander — essentially the campaign's "Big Bad." The game is intentionally more of a tactical RPG than a traditional roleplay-heavy RPG. You won't need to spend hours acting in character or memorising Gundam lore. Most of your time will be spent making battlefield decisions with the rest of the party: choosing routes, managing resources, protecting allies, completing objectives and deciding when to fight, advance or fall back. Missions take place on a 48" × 72" battlefield using 2D terrain, objective markers and game tokens. Movement and weapon ranges are measured in inches, while combat uses dice rolls for attacks, defence and other effects. Mobile Suits have different movement, weapons, armour, equipment and battlefield roles, giving each player their own strengths while encouraging the group to work together as a proper squad. A major part of Gundam Missions is the use of physical 1/144 scale Gunpla models. Each player needs a 1/144 Mobile Suit model to represent their unit on the battlefield. You do not need to already own a Gunpla to play, as a suitable model can be provided. However, building and bringing your own kit is highly encouraged. Choosing, assembling and customising your own Mobile Suit is part of the RPG experience, and the idea is that you gradually develop a connection with the machine you take through the campaign. All other game materials — battlefield, terrain, tokens, objective pieces and supporting components — are provided. You also do not need to be a Gundam expert. Gundam fans will obviously recognise plenty of the machines and references, but previous knowledge of the anime or wider Universal Century timelines isn't required. If you enjoy tabletop RPGs, miniature wargames, tactical board games, Gunpla, or cooperative games and fancy trying something different, you should be able to pick the system up fairly quickly. The rules are designed to be approachable for new players while still offering enough tactical depth for experienced tabletop players. Individual missions are expected to last approximately 1–2 hours, with the first campaign currently planned to begin this autumn and sessions expected to run roughly every other week. Gundam Missions is a free-to-play, independent, fan-developed project and is still actively being playtested and refined. Rules, balance, missions and other systems may therefore change as development continues. While the project is in a playable state, players joining the first campaign won't just be playing the game — their feedback and experiences will also help shape and improve it as the project develops. If this idea excites you, you live locally and you're interested in joining the group, feel free to reach out!

Hai :3  I've been DMing online for about 2 years now but I've never tried irl, so here I'm trying to start that :p forgive me if I'm rather amateurish  I have two campaigns that I'll decide between based on the player makeup, one a time-loop sandbox I've home-brewed, and another a tighter dungeon crawl, still fairly nonlinear, based on Fear&Hunger. Before any of them, I'd like to run a oneshot to see what type of players I have  Generally, I don't tend to stick super closely to rules as written, and tend to not plan nameless enemies. I also don't have a super firm grasp on the rules themselves lol so it'll be a learning experience for all of us (so generally, not trying for the highest heights of difficulty)  In terms of players, I'm hoping to find people who aren't super old (I'm sixteen, ideally be under 20) and who are ok with the queers™ (don't be an arse basically)  So ya :3 if you want a roleplay-planning focused campaign rather than turn by turn battle strategy this is probably the campaign for you ✨  If your interested, DM me on discord at 'lavenderthesillycat'

Hey there! You can call me bam or bamboozled here and I have just recently moved to London! I'm staying around Mile End so I'm pretty close to city centre and I would love to try and run a few one shots in person with others that enjoy ttrpg!  I am mainly experienced in running City of Mist or any of the Mist Engine by Son of Oak Studios as it is lighter on the system and more emphasis on the narrative and roleplaying aspect of it so if that sounds like anyone's cup of tea feel free to let me know!  New players or players new to the system are welcome as well as I will teach them the system which is pretty easy and we will be using pregen characters provided by me or I can guide you through character creation for anyone that's interested. I'm mainly looking to run something by this weekend or even next week so if anyone is free or around, I wouldn't mind running a few one shots (we can use pregens if that's easier to get into the system or idm guiding players through the character creation process) If that sounds like something that interests you, feel free to hmu and we discuss time and location for our fun one shots that may or may not turn into a long running campaign if it's the right vibe! Hope to hear from you all soon! Cheers!

European middle-ages vibe for world-building, collapsing as Sorceror-Kings bring apocalyptic magic. GM for 30 years, newly started a roleplay group, playing Saturday fortnightly at the Aldershot games shop. This is not a D&D group, we use a light rules system in a homebrewed world that is dark, gritty low fantasy (Barbarians of Lemuria) I have three players, open to having a few more. The players have some leeway to be creative with their background and the parts of the world they are from, so they can invest in building the world, and in narrating part of their own adventure. What's important to me is that players can commit and want to roleplay in a the game I've described. Magic is not a common part of the game, while it is fantastical, magic is special and surprising. I've GM'd many systems over many years, and run many long lasting campaigns. It's totally possible we might branch out and have other campaigns running. I'm interested in scifi (particularly Traveller or Star Wars) too.

Brand new DM looking for moderately experienced players (age 19-25 preferably), plan is to do Phandelver's but it could easily go down a different path. Posted at 4 players but can have more. This is an in-person campaign taking place in Hartford, Northwich of the UK. This is NOT an NSFW campaign, however it is for over 18s per the age range provided earlier.

A new in-person cinematic campaign using the ALIEN RPG system. If you like ALIEN, retro sci-fi or just want to try a new system then we would love to have you. Join the crew, Wayland-Yuntani offer great benefits. A survival horror style game in the ALIEN universe, following characters as they try to survive the machinations of mega-corporations, hostile alien life and each other. Mainly strung together scenarios from offical and community resources with a bit of homebrew to tie it all together.  The ALIEN ttrpg is a heavily stylised, cinematic ttrpg system focusing on atmosphere and story telling, focuisng on mechanics mainly when things get desperate. It aims to mimic the feel of the Alien movies. It offers a different style of play from other system that offers compelling beats with which to tell a tense and dramatic story at the table. The system can be has a higher chance of character death than something like D&D, much more similar to Call of Cthulhu, it is survival horror after all. We aim to create a fun, if spooky, storytelling game. This being said everyone should feel comfortable at the table. We will lay some ground rules for what people are ok with, and the GM does regular check in to make sure everyone is doing ok; and if a topic comes up that uncomforable it will immediatly be skipped. The aim to have fun first and foremost. Meeting new people can be a little daunting, so can new ttrpg systems, but we hope you will give it a try.  Exact Day and Location not yet decided, and will be dependent on player and availability.
