There’s more than just Dungeons & Dragons at ORC Edinburgh!
Have you ever watched a film or read a book and wondered what it would be like to be that character? Or maybe you’ve thought, “What if the hero did X instead?”
Whether it’s fantasy, sci-fi, horror, or modern day, we can help make that happen. Roleplaying games (RPGs) can cater to your every need as the possibilities are endless! Or maybe you’ve played RPGs before and would like to start playing again?
The Open Roleplaying Community of Edinburgh was formed to help Edinburgh RPG players and GMs to get together and play (by coincidence, the initials make up the word ORC!). ORC Edinburgh is a non-affiliated, free-to-join, community of gamers of all ages. We are committed to making everyone feel welcome. ORC Edinburgh has a thriving online community.

New faces and beginners are always welcome!
How to find us
ORC Edinburgh currently meet and play at the Meadow Bar on Buccleuch Street, Illegal Jacks on Lothian Road, and at other venues (inlcuidng the Edinburgh Games Hub). Most people start to arrive between 12.15pm and 12:45pm with games starting at 1pm and run until 5pm. New faces are always welcome – whether you’re a first time gamer, or returning after a long spell away from RPGs, you’ll be made very welcome.
If you can’t make it on Saturday, there’s a large number of other gamers who play during the week. Why not visit the ORC Edinburgh website anyway? You might also like to check out the page on Gaming in Edinburgh.
