  Hello @everyone! I'd like to give you a reminder of our General Meeting and TTRPG Give It A Go, which is happening on the 8th of October. At this meeting, we'll be electing our First Year Rep. Any prospective First Years who would like to try out for this role can sign up here: https://forms.gle/4GyGbiBUandhZc6G9 I would like to remind everyone that to vote or run at the General Meeting you **must have an AURA membership**. Visit our AUSA page to buy one, as you will also need it to gain free entry to future events and to utilize our room booking system. Additionally, if you would like to run a game at the GIAG, you can sign up here: https://forms.gle/v98dbPMpj7T7Ft5X9 Games will begin immediately after the General Meeting, at the discretion of the Game Master running. This form will **close the day after the Fresher's Fayre - 18th Sept**, so use this time to sign up - you have just over two weeks. A Player's Sign-Up form will be released shortly after. Like previous years, if you have a game that you are running or are going to run, and would like us to advertise it at the general meeting, you can! Use this form to let us know the details: https://forms.gle/VWRxDVvL7pTzhKdG8 We'd love to see you there!

  Hey @everyone! It's that time of year again where AURA gives a big update of things that are happening this year. We hope to see you there! ## **__Fresher's Pub Quiz__** Join us at the Blue Lamp on Gallowgate for a night of fun questions and maybe a drink or two. This event is not ticketed, so feel free to join us anytime between doors open (6.30pm) and our start time (7.30pm) on the 22nd September. ## **__Murder Mystery with WayWORD__** The director of Aberdeen's Amateur Whodunnit Play Theatre Company has been found murdered, hours before opening night of their first show! With the cast and crew under suspicion and the police stuck in Aberdeen traffic, it's up to some plucky audience members to solve the crime before the 5-minute call! This event will be held on the 27th of September at varying start times, and the tickets can be found on the WayWORD website: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/wayword-festival/immersive-murder-mystery-with-aberdeen-university-roleplay-association/e-ogzmga ## **__Blood on the Clocktower__** Like last year, we are running weekly Blood on the Clocktower events! Join us for a night of intrigue as you root out the demon in each game, running weekly every Monday, starting on the 15th September. ## **__General Meeting and TTRPG Give It A Go__** Our General Meeting will be held on the 8th October at 5pm, where we will be discussing events for the year and electing a First Year Representative. You can sign up to become our First Year Rep here: https://forms.gle/4GyGbiBUandhZc6G9 Additionally, we will be advertising games at our GM, so if you need some players, contact us here to add your game to our GM: https://forms.gle/VWRxDVvL7pTzhKdG8 Our GIAG will begin immediately after our general meeting, so if you are interested in running a game, sign up here: https://forms.gle/v98dbPMpj7T7Ft5X9 Player sign ups will be available after the Game Masters form closes on the 18th of September, so keep your eyes out for that! Hope to see you there!

The Aberdeen University Roleplaying Association (AURA) exists to help connect fans of TTRPGs, Wargames, TCGs, LARPing, Board Games, and other activities, 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 their 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 quizzes, 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.
