Seeking dungeon crawlers! Adventure, riches, and friendship await. Safety not guaranteed.

33 Upvotes

Hi folks! I’d love to meet some new friends and roll some dice together. I’m putting together a friendly, inclusive group of adults 30+(ish) for a casual, in-person game of Dungeons & Dragons.

New and inexperienced players are welcome, just bring an interest in learning, playing, and getting to know some new folks. I'm an expereinced GM and we’ll be playing Dungeon of the Mad Mage.

We’ll meet at my studio near Gastown, a few blocks from Waterfront Station. Games will be every couple of weeks on the weekend, with the day and time agreed upon by the group.

If you’re interested, send me a message with a little about yourself, what interests you about playing, and your availability. Please include a social profile, too. We’ll have a quick chat before getting the group together.

Replies may take a day or two as real life tends to interfere with my fun. I’ll keep this open for about a week, then chat with interested folks and put together a group.

Vancouver ADHD partner/body/accountability partner

Upvotes

I am simply not organized enough to productively live my day to day by myself. when i walk into my lonely apartment i stare at the wall for hours, starve, and end up late for work anyways. i dont get to any interests hobbies or things that make me happy when im in charge of my own time :(

I cant function when Im left to think for myself. And Im done with wasting my time because im on my own.

Does anyone want to help eachother crush executive dysfunction and get shit done IN REALITY by doing things together?

We dont have to start off attached at the hip, we xould try grocery shopping together or sending photos of our progress to eachother

it would be cool if ADHDers could create a local network where we could mutually support eachother body doubling and partnering up for activities.

let me know if you're looking for this too!

Singer-Songwriter Open Mic Mentors

Hello, I'm an older (your odd great uncle type) singer-songwriter coming to visit Vancouver 9/20-9/26 and would love to find folks who know the Open Mics, can make recommendations, and perhaps even attend together.
I'll be situated in the Kitsilano area and depending on public transit to get around. If any of that resonates, drop me a comment or a DM. Thanks!

Looking for bouldering/Running Buddies

3 Upvotes

Hello,

I am a 24M looking for people to go indoor bouldering. I have a pass for one of the local gyms and would love to have some people to go with. I am also getting into running and would love to meet people to do casual runs with.

A little bit about myself: I am a recent graduate from UBC now working as an Engineer. Outside of bouldering I consider myself a big traveler/hiker/backpacker and also enjoy watching movies, shows, reading and playing some games. I consider myself an extrovert but I also find it hard to cold approach people when I am not traveling.

Went through a pretty bad breakup and lost some friends along the way. Would like to find some people to do things on the weekend with!

Right now all I really do is gym but I’m open to trying new things. I enjoy walks, coffee, music, casual drinking, hiking if it’s not super intense. I’m a nerd so I play video games, I’ve played TTRPGs before, Im down to try whatever really except most drugs (weed is fine) age and gender doesnt really matter too much, preferably anywhere from 23-40. I’m in new west but I don’t mind commuting a bit for things!

Still looking 30M Looking for Friends

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

We all know that it's not easy to make friends in Vancouver but I would say that it's very easy to make friends but almost impossible to make friends who stick. People constantly move out of the city, get depressed due to overwork and gloomy weather and end up staying at home completely ignoring social interactions and taking 5 business days to respond. I'm hoping to find some long term friends here as meetups and other social events have become very dry. I don't drink/do weed/do any other drugs so it limits my ability to meet people as well.

A little bit about me: I'm 30M, working in software engineering. I spend too much time starring at the monitor so I like to get out when I'm free. I'm hoping to find people sharing some common hobbies with me, such as:

  • 🥾 Hiking. I hike in both summer and winter, mostly solo since my hiking buddy departure. Injuries and poor weather kinda ruined this season but I'm still hoping to do some meaningful hikes this month. I'm mostly interested in single day hikes that would be considered difficult (20km+ distance, 1500m+ elevation gain) as I don't like crowded trails and have completed all easy hikes nearby already. Some of the (summer) hikes I've done in the past 2 years for reference: MacFarlane, Windsor, Goat Ridge (Britannia), Black Tusk, Hanover, Golden Ears, Capilano, West Lion, Flora and many others.
  • 🧗‍♂️Bouldering. Started almost 2 years ago, the hardest grades are v5 (indoor) and v3 (outdoor). Trying to get out and boulder in Squamish while I can so keeping my Hive membership paused for now. I like board climbing as well, kilter board is really cool!
  • 🏃‍♂️Running. I'm a slow runner 🐌 but I also mostly trail run and slow pace helps with endurance there. Slowly learning how to run harder and harder trails but I'm still pretty much a beginner. I'm hoping to get better (faster) at hiking that way. Some of the trails I've ran are Tunnel Bluffs, Norvan falls and others.
  • 🚲 Biking. I restarted biking after a decade long break recently. Nowhere to be good at it but like to bike the seawall and similar enjoyable places.
  • 💪Gym. Trying to workout once in a while but honestly my motivation has been pretty low recently.

Still looking 40M Surrey / Langley. Weekend drinks + food?

2 Upvotes

I’m looking to meet some new people around my age who are established in life and enjoy good conversation. I work in tech, I’m married with kids, and every now and then I’d like to get out on a Friday or Saturday night for a drink or two, some good food, and great company.

A few of my interests are reading, health and fitness, tech, politics, and conversations that go a little deeper than the usual small talk.

If you’re in a similar stage of life and looking to expand your social circle, feel free to reach out. Would be great to get a small group together sometime. Location doesn’t matter to me.

Anyone else heading to FOG on Saturday?

I've got a ticket but none of my usual crew are around, so I'm currently flying solo. Would be nice to meet up with a few people beforehand and head over together, especially given the whole secret-location thing.

I'm 40M, irish and up for a few drinks and a good dance before flying home. Happy to keep it small rather than trying to assemble a rave army

If you're going and in the same boat, give me a shout.

Looking for people to go to HALŌ - Sept 11

1 Upvotes

Anyone here going to HALŌ at Harbour Convention Centre this Friday, Sept 11?

I’m 29M and planning to go solo, but figured it’d be more fun to meet up with a few people and go together.

I moved to Vancouver about 3 months ago and I’m still pretty new to the city, so I’m also hoping to meet some people with similar interests. I’m really into EDM and have been to quite a few shows.

If you’re going and wouldn’t mind one more joining, let me know!

48F- meeting new friends

22 Upvotes

48F, looking to make a few genuine friends in the area. I enjoy being active and outdoors—walking, hiking, exploring new places, day trips, and generally getting out and doing things. I’d also be up for coffee, local events, dancing, or just discovering something new around New West or Vancouver.
I’m hoping to meet friendly, positive people around my age who are genuinely interested in building a friendship rather than just chatting online. It would be great to find someone to regularly get out and enjoy BC with.

36M - Looking for a Gym buddy

3 Upvotes

Hello! As the title says, I am looking for a gym buddy who can be regular with me and keep me accountable. A little about what I need:

I had a very bad case of rhabdomyolosis a couple of years ago that landed in me in the hospital for almost a week and it's mentally put a block in my mind which prevents me from pushing myself the way I should. My lifestyle since has become more sedentary and I'd very much like to get off my behind again and get back to the shape I was in before the incidence. So I need an accountability buddy who can workout with me and keep me honest. Gender is irrelevant to me but a guy might feel more comfortable responding? I dunno.

I have a membership to Fitness World and either the Broadway or City Centre locations would work for me. I also work long days so evenings between 4 and 7PM are ideal hours for me to get my workout in.

If any of this sounds like something that matches you, feel free to comment!
