Welcome to the Harrogate Roleplayers website

The Harrogate Roleplayers are part of the Harrogate Wargames and Roleplaying Club, which has been running successfully for over 10 years. We're always looking for new club members, so if there's anyone out there in the Harrogate area who wants to come along and enjoy some roleplaying, you're more than welcome.

On these pages you'll find club members' contact details, as well as information on where the Club meets and other Harrogate roleplaying events.

We play a variety of RPGs from classics like D&D/AD&D, Call of Cthulhu (Gaslight, 1920s and Dark Ages), Bushido, Traveller and GURPS, to more recent games such as Deadlands, Delta Green, Star Wars, Feng Shui and 7th Sea. We even play board and card games (including CCGs).

Click here to see the RPG's we're currently playing.

If you have a game that you'd like to play or run, please pop along to the club and tell us about it. We're always happy to try new games.

Magic: The Gathering collectible card game (CCG) is not currently played regularly, although we're hoping to get it back as a regular fixture in the not too distant future.

 

All are welcome!

 

Whether you're an experienced roleplayer, a novice, or new to it all and just want to find out what it's all about, please feel free to contact us, or just pop along to the RAFA Club on Thursdays from 7:45pm.

We look forward to hearing from you.
