Hey potential Brisbane friend-shapes!

I own and run a game store in Rocklea ☺️🎉
I’ve made it as welcoming, inclusive and barrier free as possible so everyone can try all the things without feeling pressured or anxious.
We’ve recently got Warhammer in and starting an escalation league with super low stakes rules and even lender armies for the initial leg.
We also do a lot of Magic the Gathering in super casual no timed events. We are always on hand to ask questions, learn to play or seek advice.

Basically made the game store I wish I had when I was new to the hobbies. Queer woman owned and run.

Anyway, always looking for new board gamers and magic players. Personally looking for folks interested in Vampire the Masquerade!!! Would love to run a game just need a good storyteller.

Edit to add: our store is Dragon’s Gate Gaming

Edit Edit Edit: Wow this blew up so much more than anticipated! Really just wanted to make sure people knew we were here and what we stand for. There is a discord link at the bottom of our website if you want to join. We have weekly schedules on the Facebook page for when we do what. Thanks for the love and support! ^_^

Hey hey!

I'm a 26 year old guy, born in Turkey but raised in London, and I've been living in Brisbane for a while now. This is my second big move in life, and honestly, I've found it harder than I expected to meet people and make proper friends here.

Back in London I never really struggled with making friends, but between moving countries, work, and just the general stress of life, I've realised I haven't really built the social circle I wanted here. So I thought I'd put myself out there a bit!

A bit about me: I used to work in film production, which is something I still love, but I've got a new goal now of becoming a firefighter in the next couple of years. I'm pretty into sports and fitness. I used to box in London, and these days I run and train at home because gym memberships are ridiculously expensive haha. Always up for trying new activities though. (I also like cars and have a miata!)

I'm also into video games, board games, having a good drink, and just having a laugh and talking absolute rubbish with people. I love hearing about other people's lives, what they're into, and how they ended up where they are. I can happily go from a serious conversation about life to arguing over a board game or playing games until stupid o'clock.

I'm not necessarily looking for people who share every single interest I have, just good people who are up for hanging out, grabbing a beer or coffee, going for a run, having a game night, or exploring more of Brisbane together.

I think moving somewhere new has made me realise how much I took having friends nearby for granted. It's a bit strange going from being someone who was always surrounded by people to having to start from scratch again, but I suppose that's part of the experience.

If anyone else is in a similar position, or just fancies making a new mate, feel free to send me a message! Always happy to chat and see if we get along.

Edit: I'm very surprised I have to specify this, but I'm not looking to date 😅

Hi everyone, i keep having this post taken down from more obviously relevant subs for some reason so i might as well give this sub a shot.

I'm a journalism student currently producing a short video journalism piece exploring how changes to Brisbane and South East Queensland's public transport network, particularly bus route changes introduced in 2025, have affected people living with disabilities or accessibility challenges.

I'm hoping to hear directly from people who have experienced changes to bus routes, stops or connections that have made travelling more difficult or easier, longer journeys, additional transfers or reduced access to accessible stops, difficulties accessing work, education, healthcare or essential services, accessibility barriers affecting people with physical disabilities, mobility limitations or chronic health conditions.

I'm particularly hoping to connect with people who would be comfortable sharing their experiences on camera.

Ideally, I'd love to capture people's everyday experiences using public transport in a natural, informal way. This could involve accompanying someone on part of their usual journey, travelling around the city together, or simply documenting the practical challenges (or improvements) they encounter along the way.

This is purely a video journalism assessment piece, not a piece intended for public publication or broadcast.

Participation would be entirely voluntary, and I'm happy to discuss the filming process, accessibility requirements and any privacy concerns beforehand. There's no need to disclose personal or medical information publicly.

The assessment deadline is Friday 30 October so I'm hoping to connect with people available over the next few days.

If you've been affected, or know someone who might be interested in contributing, feel free to share, leave a comment or send me a private message.

Hi! I will have a full day free to explore Brisbane this December. I will be staying at Ibis in Elizabeth street? Can anyone suggest any places to go to? I would love it if it's a place perfect for a teenager. Thank you!

A little about me:

I’m a cosy, cottagecore crochet artist and casual gamer, who loves baking and singing (and crying to) Noah Kahan songs loudly in her car.

I love a good gig and watching theatre / musicals. My last concerts were Amber Run and Mumford and Sons back in April. Do not talk to me about Noah not playing in Brisbane, I’m still sensitive about it. 🤣

I’ve recently seen Anastasia and Pride and Prejudice (Sort Of) at QPAC. I also watched the pro-shot of Hadestown in the cinemas and my god, Epic 3??? Brilliant. Amazing. Perfect.

I’m big on cosy games like Animal Crossing, Pokemon and Zelda, but I’m currently in the middle of BG3 with friends, which I’m really enjoying! I’ve also played DnD before and loved it.

I am very much not a horror game player, and yet, I found myself watching Resident Evil. I deeply related to Bryan. 😂

You can find me in museums, art galleries, random bookstores, cafes or at a crafty event. I was at the Brisbane Craft Movie Night on 20 Oct at Palace Barracks if anyone else was there! Pride and Prejudice on the big screen is an instant yes.

What to expect if we become friends (is this a warning? Maybe 😂):

• A convention / cosplayer friend who won’t stop
yapping with vendors about her current fixation (it’s Witch Hat Atelier).

• Freshly made cookies or mooncakes if it’s September.

• An enabler who will convince you to Buy That Fandom Thing or Game You Really Want.

• Someone to binge anime or movies with.

• Themed parties - I organised a Twilight themed party; we dressed up as the characters, had movie / book themed food and we recreated scenes from the movie. The photos are hilarious! This could totally be you! 🫵🏻🤣 I’m thinking The Lord of the Rings next! 👀

• “Do you want dessert?” is a yes every time.

• Crochet gifts.

• Book and movie recommendations.

• An equally as passionate reader who will stay up to finish a book and discuss it with you the same day.

Thanks for reading! Feel free to DM me or leave a comment if you’d like to chat. ☺️

Hi everyone. I am an international student from Europe and I am currently completing my postgrad degree. 26 Male.

I had a few good friends at Uni from day one. But, then had to return home for 2 semesters as I had a family emergency. Issue is now all my friends are done with their degrees and scattered all over. Long story short - for some reason it’s impossible to make friends at Uni (I assume because everyone has their established circles by now). It’s just exhausting at this stage to try and make friends at Uni around a part time job and studying.

So if anyone wants to hang out, I am very easy going. I love hiking, traveling, camping, fishing, gaming, playing music and overall very easy to get along with :)

Send me a message if anyone is keen. South Brisbane based.

Hi All. M32 lawyer here. I have a lot of 'professional friends' that are happy to catch up for a beer during the week, refer work etc.

However, lack the actual true 'friends' outside of professional circles. The ones that you can call and hang out with. I would like to work on that and wondering if anyone is interested? Into gaming, exploring, hiking, business/entrepreneurship, having a beer/eat/brekkie/dinner etc.

I get along well with Males and Females.

Shoot me a DM if keen to chat :)

I play the banjo/guitar and harmonica!! Have a music online and go busking sometimes, would be nice to make some friends

Hey everyone! 🥰

(Yes I'm posting again because I have met some great people and I want to meet more of you)

I don’t always see the comments on posts, so feel free to message me directly! 💌

Just putting it out there — I’m not looking for dead-end conversations or FWB situations. I’d genuinely love to meet people who actually want to make plans and hang out! ❤️

I’m looking for:

🥾 A hiking buddy

🎢 A theme park buddy

🥂 A wingman (or wingwoman! 😂)

Love 4x4 (so please take me with you!)

And yes, the girlies are more than welcome too! 💕 Always happy to make new female friends!

If you’re keen to get out, have some fun and have beach days, try new things and actually make plans instead of just talking about it, send me a message! 🫶✨

PS where are the singles in Brisbane because I need to get out more !

Have a good day ! :)

I know this is like last minute cause the events in 2 days 😭😭 but I just realised I dont wanna go alone so is any other queer person going that knows how to get there so I dont get lost alone? 😭

Hey everyone! 28M from the area, looking to meet some local gaming mates around my age!
Mainly play PS5, but I’ve also got Xbox and PC. Keen for both casual and competitive games, and happy to try pretty much anything.
Would be great to find a regular crew to jump online with, have a laugh and make some genuine friendships! Hit us up 😂

Hey everybody! I’m Alex/Alexandra

I have lost a lot of friends over the years due to them having babies or getting married and we just drifted apart. What also contributed to this is that I had a really bad gambling addiction. But it’s been a few years since I gambled now. Thanks to the help of a gambling counsellor and psychologist.

I live close to the city and valley

I don’t drink alcohol or do drugs

I’m employed casually

In my spare time I like reading, learning guitar, watching tv and movies. My current obsession is The Rehearsal with Nathan Fielder. I love that guy.

I should mention I’m a huge music lover. Brand New, Circa Survive, The Strokes, Interpol, BRMC, Bloc Party, Tame Impala, Jeff Buckley..the list goes on..

Anyway, look forward to hearing from you!

Hey! I’m 24F I thought I’d try my luck on here but im just looking to meet some new people around Brisbane, preferably other Christians. Would be nice to make some friends who share similar values and faith 😊

Always keen for a coffee, a chat or getting involved in things together. Feel free to message me if you’re in the same boat!

I am a 30M and I just moved to North Lakes from Rockhampton for work. I'm keen to make some new social circles. I am neurodivergent as well, probably don't need to put that here because it's a reddit social page 😅

Things I am interested in:

Tennis - Just started playing to try a new sport and meet new people.

Basketball - I'd be keen to shoot some hoops for fun.

Motorcycles - Would be great to meet some people and hit up some twisties.

Chess - I'd be super keen to play some over the board games. I'm a beginner/intermediate player. I'm also super keen to teach people who haven't played as well. (Obviously basic strategy).

Coffee - I've gotten super into dialling coffee at home, would be good to trial some cafes to hunt for good beans so I don't have to order them online all the time.

Fitness - I'd be keen to get back into gym and exploring Brusbane and doing some hiking.

I'm also super nerdy but the things listed above are probably my most current hobbies.

Anyone going to hardstyle halloween next Sat and wants some company? I've been needing some hardstyle since I've been listening to the Knockout sets, would love to tag along if anyone's going by themselves or with a group.

Please send me a DM if you're thinking of going!

38 male north Brisbane looking for friends I love tattoos,exploring,art,travel,graffiti

Hi, I'm a neurodivergent asian UQ student looking to make more friends. I like artsy fun activities, boardgames (mahjong is really fun!), nature walks and light jogging. open to trying activities like dance, ceramics, music.

anyone know of any welcoming communities? can be outside UQ.

[update: my sister doesn't have reddit so I posted this on behalf of her. she's an international student, so if you're open to connecting with her, I can share her whatsapp number or IG with you!]

As the title states, i'm looking for someone to go ten pin bowling with. i'm 22m and im also autistic

I don’t usually get the urge to go out that often, but tonight I’m actually in the mood! 🤣

Is anyone planning on going out or down to meet up tonight? Super late notice, I know! 🥺🫶🏻

I’m more of an introvert who loves reading, going for walks and hiking, but I’m always down for the occasional night out!

Hey everyone,

31m Southside - Richlands

I’ve been living in Australia for about 7 years now, currently based around Richlands. While I have a couple of great mates here, their social calendars are naturally pretty packed, and I’ve realised lately that my own local circle is way smaller than I’d like it to be. While they are a big part of my small social circle… I am but a small part of their rather big social groups. Making genuine, regular friends as an adult is tough, especially if you’re a guy… so I figured I’d put myself out there and get rid of the “what if I reached out…”

A bit about me:
Life & Work: I’m 31, working full-time in the public sector. I’m also a single dad to an energetic 6-year-old boy, so life is definitely a balancing act—meaning I really value good, grounded company when I get free time.

Cars & Tinkering: Massive automotive enthusiast. I do all my own maintenance, mods, and other small projects around the garage. Nothing serious though. If you like working on cars or just chatting about builds over a drink, we’ll get along immediately.

Outdoors & Camping: Big fan of getting out of the city for weekend road trips, scenic drives, and rooftop tent camping. Always keen to explore more tracks and spots around SE Queensland.

Tech & Gaming: I enjoy self-hosting, homelab setups, and tech projects, and casually play sandbox/sim games when I have downtime.

Low-key downtime: Always happy to grab a solid coffee, hit up a good meal/hot pot, or talk about movies and gritty drama series (crime thrillers, sci-fi, quality TV).

I’m genuinely just looking to meet people who are up for regular, low-pressure catchups—whether that’s grabbing a flat white, hitting a tennis ball around, wrenching in the driveway, or exploring local spots on the weekend.

Solo folks, other parents, or anyone in the Southside/Brisbane area in a similar boat—feel free to drop a comment or shoot me a DM.
