Roleplaying games are essentially games where you play the role of a character in a story. Unlike computer games, Tabletop RPGs offer incredible freedom in choosing who your character is and the world they live in. We run a huge variety of games so there's something for everyone, from newcomers curious what they're all about, to veteran players looking for something to sink their teeth into.
We run a lot of different RPGs, mostly Dungeons and Dragons, Monster of the Week, and Call of Cthulhu. People do run other RPG systems as well though, and there's a system out there for any kind of game imaginable. If you want to run a game then GM applications open just before the semester and usually end during the first week of classes.
We also run special sessions: one shots and megagames. We run one shots on the first week of each semester, these are open to people of all skill levels and some one shots are specifically built to teach people the game. Megagames are games that are sort of a mix of an RPG and a board game, normally where you play a small faction in the part of a large collective and you have to help your group. We tend to run one megagame every semester.
We have physical books that we can loan out to prospective GMs who want to run a game, and there are many more pdfs of books available online for those that we don't. Players don't need to worry about the books, all they need to bring is themselves, something to write with, and some dice (some GMs might provide these too).
Finally, if you'd like advice or to simply chat about RPGs our Discord Server has channels where people talk about all that nonsense. So if you're unsure about running a game and would like some support, or enjoy talking worldbuilding with other GMs, we've got you covered.
