About us
Royal Holloway Games Society is the central hub for all things gaming on campus. We facilitate most forms of gaming including Board Games, Video Games, TTRPGs, Wargames and Esports.
Normally we run on Mondays (Board Game night) and Fridays (Video Game night) during term time, with weekly arrangements made to provide rooms and resources to DMs for their campaigns. Alternating weekends are pub socials or Longform boardgames and Wargames..
Membership
At Gamesoc, we care about one thing above all others: providing a place where as many people as possible want to come and play games! As such, anyone is welcome to come to our regular sessions, membership or not, to hang out and play games. At our sessions, we provide everything you might need, including a huge inventory of board games, consoles, controllers, people to run games and teach them, and more which all require money to upkeep and expand over time. As such, if you would like to support us in making Gamesoc great, then we would be very grateful if you bought a membership.
In addition to helping us run our weekly board game and video game socials for the whole year and Gamesoc's D&D campaigns and one-shots, the Gamesoc Standard Membership (for just £7) gives you exclusive access to any special events we run, including megagames, unique tournaments and leagues, and any trips we go on.
To get involved in the Esports side of our community, you can join the specific Esports discord, which is permanently linked in the Gamesoc server. This is where you can find information on how to participate in our various esports teams and any LAN events, watch parties, in-house tournaments, or trips.
If you are only reading this during the second term or beyond, there will be reduced-price memberships for you to take advantage of.
