Do you struggle to get to Gamesoc? Perhaps it's too late and difficult to access? Have I got a treat for you!
We will be hosting an event in collaboration with the SU for Disability History Month. We will bring board games and video games from 2-4 in the main hall of the SU. Come along and hang out!
A simple graphic of an orange to purple gradient with a white, slightly translucent box on top. This box has the Games Society logo in the top right and the following text: Accessible Games Hour for Disability History Month Wednesday 19th November from two to four P M in the S U hall. Do you struggle to find events that are at a good time and are accessible? Come join our chill video and board games session!

FOR ALL OF OUR TTRPG FANS & those who are simply interested in trying it out!

Come along to our Character Creation Workshop in Windsor 1-02, 3, and 5 this coming Wednesday from 7-10PM to design a character for our upcoming One-Shots.
A banner resembling the character name on a Dungeons and Dragons character sheet, with a dragon around it. In it, there is text saying "CHARACTER CREATION". Underneath are three boxes - one box resembles a shield (representing "Armour Class") and has the date of the workshop, 1st October. Another two boxes have jagged corners and borders (with similar styling to "Initiative" and "Speed"). In these it says "7-10PM", and "Windsor 1-02, 1-03, and 1-05" which are the rooms in which the workshop will take place.

Game coordinators are people in charge of running and scheduling some of the smaller society events, that are often more tailored towards specific communities, i.e. long-form, fighter, wargames, and TCG games!
