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.
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 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
