Pages from society members
Mo Holkar owns Undying King Games, one of PBM's most innovative businesses. UKG runs several games commercially: Unexplained, Pieces of Eight, Europa, Corporation, and their latest offering, Mammon Incorporated.
UKG recruits playtesters, designers and GMs from RPGSoc members, so if you're interested in PBM, get in touch!
Other Oxford Societies
OUSFG - The Oxford University Speculative Fiction Group. The society for discussion about and writing of speculative fiction, as well as drinking.
Taruithorn - The Oxford Tolkien Society. Pretty self-explanatory really.
Other RPG societies with cool pages
Abingdon Guild of Adventurers (old website, new contact details may appear here at some point)
GEAS, the Edinburgh University Roleplaying Society. (Website appears to be SNAFU at time of updating; contact your net rep with updates.)
If you are more interested in Cambridge than Oxford, have a look at CURS, the Cambridge University Role-Playing Society. Interestingly, there does seem to be a large number of the Oxford RPGSoc who are actually from Cambridge.
