The Open Roleplaying Community is a forum for people to:

=>   find out about roleplaying games (RPGs)
=>   try out a roleplaying game
=>   meet other people who are interested in playing
=>   get together regularly and play

We are committed to making sure everyone feels welcome - whether you're just visiting for the day, or looking for a long-term game!

When We Meet:

From Saturday 11th April we will be meeting and playing in the Meadow Bar on 42-44 Buccleuch Street, Edinburgh. Directions can be found at this link - http://www.meadowbar.co.uk/ and here's a Google Map.

Most people start to arrive between 12.15pm and 12:45pm with games starting at 1pm and run until 5pm. You'll find us upstairs in the function room, just look for a collection of people with rucksacks ;-). New faces are always welcome!

About ORC:

The Open Roleplaying Community is exactly that! It's not just a venue or club, it's a community of gamers in Edinburgh who play all kinds of games. Whether you're running a game at ORC on a Saturday or looking to play (or run) in an RPG on another day, or just curious about RPGs, you'll find joining this community helpful.

RPGs we play:

We play a variety of games at ORC - not just on Saturdays! A number of community members run games outside the Saturday afternoons, so even if you can't make it on Saturday you could still find a game.

What's on at ORC?

The ORC Events calendar details a number of games coming up. A sign-up sheet also makes the rounds every week, detailing the next fortnight of games. You can sign up by choosing the relevant event and ticking the "I will go to this Event" box! Note that you will need to be a registered user (and signed in) on the site to do so.

Can anyone run at ORC?

Yes, but do try and publicise your game first - submit an event, and post in the Games/Players Wanted forum, and add it to a spare slot on the sign up sheet. That way you'll be able to gauge interest too.

Does anyone run Game X at ORC?

You can find out if anyone GMs a particular game by asking in the Games/Players Wanted forum. If enough people are interested then someone will likely step up!

About the Venue:

We book the function room of the Meadows Bar at 42-44 Buccleuch Street (near the Black Lion games shop). Under-18s are welcome, but are not allowed in the bar area. As the Meadows Bar serves food and drink, do not bring your own - help keep the venue (and bar) open!
