GameOn Sunday (Edinburgh) (Edinburgh)
Gaming group
We are an Edinburgh-based collective that gathers each Sunday to partake in various games. Generally, our group is composed of an equal number of men and women, mostly in their early 30s. We like to keep things casual and relaxed, with drinks and food often involved. We have a proud member of our group that is quite the BGG celebrity - Sarah. She even got a picture of her playing Carcassonne, which is one of the most popular photos on the site! Rest assured though, fame hasn't gone to her head.

Here at ERPG, we welcome tabletop fans with open arms. We often host activities and classes for those who wish to learn to play. Plus, we are always on the lookout for experienced DM's (Dungeon Masters) to join our roster. Primarily, we feature Dungeons & Dragons, but there are also some Sci-Fi events, Vampire The Dark Ages, and more. Unfortunately, due to the current climate, our board game nights have been suspended.
