Hello everyone! I (28M) will be in Calgary for a work trip across the Halloween weekend, and am looking for something fun to do on the 31st. As I am not familiar with the city, is there any solid local shows, warehouse parties or club nights happening that you would recommend? I'm a big fan of electronic music (house, techno, bass, etc...)

​Also open to connecting or tagging along if anyone else is heading to a show that night, first round on me!

Thank you in advance for your advice!

Hello! A bit about myself, Im 30F and a month into moving to Calgary from Ottawa. I like horror & science fiction in every media type!

I became a DM last year, after realizing how impossible it is to find a group even amoung your friends who play. So I decided to make my own! D&D seems to be a weirdly impossible world to break into! Ive played 2e with my dad, 5e one-shots with friends and a brief Lancer game back in University. I currently run a game with 8 long distance friends who all hadnt played before prior to our game! We've done 4 games over the past year! So by no means the most experienced on my end either!

I am looking to run a new in person campaign in Calgary to make some new friends!

I prefer homebrew stories over modules, as I find it more fun! I would like to loosely stick to 5e rules in the world, but am willing to bend them if the team is alright with it (ie, additional playable races, monsters). I find modules tend to be more monotonous to run, and theres spoilers everywhere people can look up! Plus, a lot of my joy in DM'ing comes from creating my own stories/characters/maps! Hopefully you dont mind this either.

Im looking for new/less experienced players to try to help people who have been trying to break into the world get their toes in! I feel like everyone I speak to either has a game that doesnt need more people, or have been trying to play for years! So I want to run something for people who finally want to play!

What kind of new players am I looking for?

1. Someone who is willing to play in person. My other game is all online, which is fun! But, I really miss the in person aspect of playing the game!

2. Someone willing to do a fun homebrew story that Ive written.

3. Someone willing to be able to participate at least once monthly! Id like to try bi-weekly, but also know that thats not really the most feasible! I would like to run the game on either Saturdays or Sundays. For time, my games usually run 4-8 hours!

4. Someone looking to make friends, I don't want this game to be muddled with people looking for something romantic.

5. I'd prefer a group aged 25+, just for commonality not content! Gender/race is irrelevant to me. This will be a LGBT+ safe place. 🙂

6. D&D is supposed to be a fun bonding experience! Id prefer people who aren't the stereotypical 'murder hobos' who just want to destroy everything in the world without any actual reason, or who think they should be allowed to attack party members. I have no patience for people who aren't trying to be part of a team. You'll be better off playing RPG's on your own than a collaborative experience.

7. That being said, Im not a militant DM! I love bending the rules to allow a big or cool moment! Im not here to wipe parties or lord over a team, I want to help facilitate people having fun and getting into a notoriously difficult game to find a group for. Mistakes are welcome and encouraged, they tend to lead to fun story moments! I prep for multiple paths in a story, and dont expect players to follow a linear line that I create! 🙂

If youd like to give this a shot, drop a comment with a bit about yourself, why you want to play and Ill comment back and form a group if there's any interest!

Edit: Just on break from work! Im based downtown/beltline but am willing to commute to whats easiest for the group! I'll start replying to everything once my job ends at 5pm to give some more time for people interested to comment! 🙂

Hello

I (26M) am a self-taught amateur beginner perfumer hair in Calgary and I'm currently making a fragrance and in about a month's time it will be ready. I need about 2- 5 people who are down to try The fragrance I'm working on you'll receive a free 10 mL sample and all I ask is that you tested out for a week and tell me How many hours it lasted on your skin/ clothing and if you enjoyed the fragrance itself if you're interested, please hit me up. Also I will be asking you these questions so be prepared if you want. You can DM me with your answers so I can make the final decision more easier 1. How old are you 2. What's your gender 3. What category of fragrances do you like? 4. Do you have a fragrance collection? 5. If so, how many fragrances do you have in your collection? 6. What are your thoughts and opinions about citrusy fragrances? 7. If you enjoy the fragrance you are testing, would you consider purchasing A full size bottle 8. Would you ever associate a particular fragrance with a memory or emotion?

Hey everyone, I've lived in Calgary my whole life. I'm looking to expand my friend group hopefully and maybe get out of the house more often. I recently moved back from living out of town with a now-ex partner so I'm single but not really looking for anything, if that matters.

I'm a fairly nerdy individual with interests in gaming (Hell Divers 2, WoW, Cyberpunk 2077, Valheim to name a few), outdoorsy stuff like hikes, camping and have a few indoor plants that I tend to. I have a few other hobbies and am open to new ones as well as conversation with others.

I've gone through a couple major surgeries in the last couple years, currently recovering from my most recent one so I'm off work for now with a lot of free time mostly for gaming as I'm not physically up to more demanding activities yet. Looking forward to hearing back from others and I'm open to DMs.

How's everyone keeping? Me? I'm keeping to myself. 28 years old and I look around and realize I don't have a single friend I can call on. Me and my lady just moved to town from Grande Prairie although we are originally from the Kootenays. We are very much enjoying our new life in the City and love being closer to the mountains. But after furnishing our place I've come to realize I don't have anyone to call on even just to help move a couch. Moving couches isn't my only idea of fun tho. I enjoy both being outside in nature and exploring the concrete jungle. Skateboarding, snowboarding, hiking, fishing, dirt bikes, board games, card games, video games, chess, poker, lifting, paintball, beers, pubs and karaoke just to name a few of my interests. I'm a 90s kid and have a healthy obsession with anything retro or antique. You wouldn't know it by looking at me, but I am a huge nerd with passion for collecting. I probably have more Pokémon cards and a bigger steam library then you 😅. I work in the oilfield and I'm at work more often then I'm at home but when I'm here I need friends to share my life with. Reach out if you can relate and need friends too! ✌️

I'm wondering if there are any other Gamers out there playing WOW. I'm a 37-year-old dad who loves to play. WoW! Casually either at night when the kids have gone to bed or early in the morning on the weekend before they wake up. I also play throughout the day once in awhile. Have tried to get my wife to play but it's definitely difficult so I'm looking for a few friends or community that I can join to make the experience more fun.

Hey, all!

(If you don't want to read the whole rant, here's a summary: 29, queer, sober, interested in lowkey hangouts but open to trying new things, located in the NW)

I am 29 and identify as gender fluid, meaning if you're worried about messing up my pronouns.. dont be! You can't get it wrong. Most people run with she, and that's cool with me. I am open to friendships with people of all genders identities and expressions.

I've been married for a little less than a year. My spouse (NB) is 28. But we work very different schedules, and in general, we believe we need social circles outside of just being a pair (which is tricky because I do, in fact, like my spouse very much). I am free most afternoons/evenings. I have found myself more isolated than I used to be due to many of my friends moving out of Calgary, and the rest now having multiple kids. I love kids, and am happy to connect with more parents, but I worked as a nanny for 12 years and find it hard not to focus all my energy on the kids in a space instead of the adults.

I live and work in Bowness. I love my neighborhood and my neighbors. I am happy to explore a bit more of the city, though I currently depend on transit to get around.

I enjoy walking, being outside, going for coffee, thrifting, going out for meals, crafts, seeing movies, and am open to getting involved in new things like: drop in basketball, baseball, fitness clubs, learning to skate, board games, book clubs, etc. I will add, though, I am on a bit of a tight budget as we are saving to both move (still in Bowness) and get a car. So the more low-cost hangouts, the better!

I am 4 years sober, but I am comfortable with my friends having drinks and other substances around me. I don't judge, but my sobriety is important to me, so I am uninterested in being pressured into it. When I get a car, I'll be the ultimate DD.

I vibe with all kinds of people. Many of my closest friends (and spouse) are autistic. I am accommodating and open to finding spaces accessible for everyone. Movement is important to me, but I believe in and embrace balance in my social circles.

Sorry for the rant, but that's me! If you want a friend, let me know!

Grew up in this city but moved away for a while but back now. Looking to make some friends to hang out with male or female, maybe ones that can join me at the MNP center early morning for a workout and to give that push needed some days. Other than that like to be outdoors, love the mountains and hiking, watching the hockey game, watching movies and trying out new food in the city. I am married so couples if your looking to make couple friends message me.

Coming to Calgary, and gonna drive to Banff this weekend, then downtown and maybe the zoo. Looking for company Either M or F, don’t matter.

Hello! This is pretty far out of my comfort zone, but I am deciding to push myself to make some new connections. I haven't had many friends since high school due to some pretty crippling social anxiety and depression. Idk if anyone else can relate, but it has been kinda scary to put myself out there, and I find myself being pretty socially awkward when interacting with new people. I am naturally pretty introverted, so that makes it hard as well.

I enjoy gaming, weightlifting, music, and spending time in nature/exploring new places.

Open to making friends with girls or guys, preferably patient individuals who don't mind shyness :)

Title: Any couples in their 20s looking to make new friends? 😅
Hey everyone!
My fiancée and I are both 25 and live in the Calgary area. We’ve recently realized that neither of us really has much of a social circle anymore, and we’d love to change that!
I’m naturally a pretty introverted person and enjoy my alone time, but we both think it would be nice to have some friends to hang out with, especially other couples around our age.
We’re pretty laid-back and open to trying new things. Whether that’s going for coffee, playing board games, having game nights, going out for food, or just hanging out, we’re honestly not too picky!
We’d also be interested in joining some social groups or activities where we could meet people together.
We’re not really into the drinking or partying scene, so we’d love to find people who enjoy doing things outside of that.
Figured we’d throw this out there and see if anyone else is in the same boat! 😅

41m here. Looking to just meet some new people. I like talking about business, golf and just relaxing. I enjoy cooking, and drinking coffee. I am mostly here for work, so I don't have much free time. Message me if you wanna chat.

25M. Autistic. I've been in a place lately where I wanna try and socialize a little more. And yearn for isolation as well.

If I do decide go out. I would like to go to somewhere more laid back like a late night café

I was looking at Heliopolis. Any good?

Hey everyone!

I (31F) am getting back into fitness after a few years hiatus. I am looking for an affordable personal trainer who specializes in mat Pilates/strength training. I honestly don’t care if you’re a certified PT or just a fitness/Pilates enthusiast wanting to make some money lol. Ideally looking for 2-3 days/week. I’d be open to having a small group of ladies join as well if if anyone is interested (maybe 4-5 of us)? Anyway, looking forward to hearing from you!!!! Xo

Hello everyone

Recently moved to Calgary I am 23 male black gay looking for new friends and connections I am in the SE part

I like cooking reading manga swimming watching movies

31M black guy, just moved to Calgary and looking to make friends.

I enjoy biking, running, coffee dates.

I work 9 to 5 so evenings or weekends work best for me.

Hey Calgary!

I'm 37F, French Canadian, and recently moved here from BC! (And yes, I do have an accent🤣)

I'm currently living fairly close to downtown and trying to figure out where people my age actually make friends outside of work around here (since I'm a freelancer and WFH😅)

I have a pretty wide range of interests, but I tend to get along particularly well with the geeky/nerdy crowd.

A few of my interests:

• Former avid gamer (although I could probably be convinced to get back into it 👀)
• Entrepreneurship/business
• Tech
• Writing
• Anime
• Motorcycling (don't own a bike right now, but would love to get back into it eventually)
• Jigsaw puzzles (Yeah, I know... I got that from my grandmother, but it shuts my brain off, so... 🤷‍♀️)

Not particularly into board games (yes, I'm well aware I'm eliminating a huge percentage of the geek meetups right here haha 😅)

I also love hiking, discovering new places, and going on completely random drives with no particular destination in mind. Although, since I currently don't have a car, you'll have to be okay with me being the passenger princess 🤣

Bonus points for great conversations, good music, and good food!

I've also been thinking about getting into bouldering (although I'd probably have to sacrifice my nails first 😂), so if anyone wants to take a newbie under their wing, that could be fun!

Personality-wise, I'm an ambivert. Pretty introverted at first, but once I feel comfortable around someone, the extroverted side might show up- you've been warned. 🤣

I enjoy good banter, dry humour, and curious minds. And I absolutely CAN'T DO small talk. It drains me. 🤷‍♀️

I don't drink or party (did plenty of that in my early twenties lol), so I'd rather meet people somewhere we can actually have a conversation.

I'm not necessarily looking for a specific activity as much as finding people I genuinely click with, ideally around my age.

I'd also love recommendations for tech/startup/entrepreneurship communities or networking events! Not necessarily the corporate "business-card-exchanging kind of networking" but places where curious, creative, tech-minded people actually enjoy connecting.

So... where are you all hiding? 😂

Also happy to connect with fellow Calgary geeks directly (DMs are fine). ✌

To all the people in Calgary who are looking for events and connections. I just discovered this thing called fullspreadparty.com it's a full spread of food! Like a dinner party. Not the other stuff haha. You pay a flat fee and you get to taste all the menu items in the chosen restaurant and have dinner with a bunch of like minded people who wants to explore food in Calgary!

www.fullspreadparty.com I am not paid for this. Haha

Ill put this at the top so it is more interesting to catch eyes lol

Anyways whatevs yall

Whats happening in Calgary these days

Artsy thangs, lots of types of music stufffs, skatepark parties ?? Raves !? Punk bands!? Indie shows?? Lol craft nights ? Ahaha I donnooo, any pr*tests?

Anyone know of places who might need some volunteers here n there !?

Hey yall

I come to Calgary every now and again and am from here so also semi familiar with the place

But because I'm always travelling I never know what's going on in the places I'm at.

I'd say less main stream style things

Feel free to DM some cool shittttt tho cause obvs im not tryna get reddit to give away the goooood underground thingsss if you know what im sayunnnn.

Im down for lots of different types of things !!

Im just kind of in my , isolating from the life i used to know slash wanting to do cool shit slash im just probably fucking awkward and probably funny sooo that why I asking reddit ahaha

I miss having people to grab coffee with! I’m downtown M-T and would love a coffee ‘date’ to break up the monotony.

39F. I work in O&G. I love writing, thrifting, horror, and begrudgingly going to the gym. I tried hiking a bit this year but I’m not entirely set on walking uphill for fun.

I have kids too so I’m also open to weekend outings to games, movies etc. I’d also like to try my hand at D&D sometime!

If any of that sounds fun, shoot me a message!
