    @everyone If you've put your name down for talisman tonight... Good news ! You've got a space at the table ! Everyone who has signed up can play so we look forward to seeing everyone tonight at 1800 in MR302. See you there !


The Aberdeen Univeristy Roleplaying Association (AURA) exists to help connect fans of TTRPGs, Wargames, TCGs, LARPing, Board Games, and other activites, and to provide them with a space to play and any other resources they may need.

When it comes to setting up groups, we allow Game Masters to advertise their games through us, and give them access to room bookings. This is true both for continuing long-term games, as well as single-session one-shots. We also have an enormous library of rpg source books from various systems that we are happy to lend out to those interested, to help encourage people to play these games without needing to spend all your cash on the books.

In addition to setting up groups of players, in the past we have had large events such as pizza and boardgames, barbecues, pub quizes, bonfires, costume contests, and so forth. We are looking forward to being able to host these events again within physical safety guidelines in the future.

If you want to get more in touch with our community, we have a Discord group for our society as well (Join here: https://discord.gg/hAfFG3nyTJ), which will allow for more cohesive and direct communication between members.

If you are interested in running your own campaign of games through AURA, please email us, and we can book a room for you and post an advertisement for players, or you can join our discord and do it yourself.

If you want to join a game through AURA, keep an eye on our Discord server, games are usually run on campus.

Finally, part of our goal is to provide a safe-space both for Game Masters and players, so if you are having difficulties with someone in your group and you want someone to help mediate the issue, then email us and we'll see what we can do.

We look forward to you joining our community, whether it be online or in-person. Please feel free to email us at roleplaying@ausa.org.uk if you have any questions or concerns.
