The Aberdeen Univeristy Roleplaying Association (AURA) exists to help you join or run your own game of Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, and many other systems.
When it comes to setting up groups, we allow Game Masters to advertise their games through us, and when possible we provide a space for them to play. This is true both for continuing long-term games, as well as single-session one-shots. We also have a library of 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, 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 and we'll help you get some new players. Hopefully soon we will be able to allow for organising face-to-face gaming sessions, until then we can only help set up online games.
If you want to join a game through AURA, keep an eye on our Discord server and our Facebook page. Games will be run online or on-campus at the discretion of the Game Master.
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.

AURA is now selling society hoodies and gilets. The items all have our AURA logo on the left breast and large on the back in white embroidering. The hoodies are made of heavy blend cotton and the gilets are made of fleece. We will soon be making these available for purchase once again.
