Join us every Sunday and tell a story as a group by playing a beginner-friendly roleplaying game. Every week we have 2-3 different games - you will choose which game you play on the day. All materials provided and rules are explained at the start of each game, you just need to bring your imagination. 🎭 **This week's facilitators:** * 🧬 **Cyrus** with *[Dead Serious](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1a_8HoeLE_anm-9TifDPy71cig5l92P9P/view?usp=sharing)*, a one-page RPG where you play invincible unyielding warriors. The most ELITE of the ELITE: The DREADBUTCHERS. But the squad has a malfunction - they can experience EMOTION. In this game you must always remain in character. If you laugh, stop talking in a DEEP IMPOSING voice or don't take the mission seriously your character might.... EXPLODE! * 🐺 **Scott** with *[Campfire](https://witchpleas.com/products/campfire-the-any-story-anywhere-intro-rpg)*, a story-based game by our own Wojtek Borowicz. A group of friends have rented a cottage in the woods near Briançon, a remote Alpine village in France. They plan to spend a couple of days kicking back, drinking mulled wine, and skiing in a nearby resort. They are weary from their long journey, but that will soon be the least of their worries. Can they survive the night once the deadly secrets of Briançon emerge from the darkness on the night of the full moon? *** Feel free to ask the organisers any questions you have (here or on our [Discord server](https://tinyurl.com/indie-rpgs-dublin)).

**See Dublin through a new lens—and with new friends.** Welcome to **Quality Time**. We’re "breaking up" with the shallow events to give you something better: a creative afternoon stroll designed to capture the soul of the city. This isn't about "the 'gram" or content creation; it's about the art of looking and the joy of being present. We are so excited to co-host this walk with our wonderful community member, **Angie**. Angie has a passion for capturing the hidden details of Dublin, and she’ll be guiding us to help find those perfect angles and unique perspectives that we usually miss while looking at our screens. ### 🥾 The Journey: We’ll meet at the iconic Samuel Beckett Bridge and wind our way along the quays. Together, we’ll hunt for the beauty in Dublin’s architecture—from the grand Custom House to the historic Ha’penny Bridge. * Duration: Approximately 2 hours of movement and creativity. * The Finish Line: For those who fancy a treat, we’ll head to Cinnamood on O’Connell Street afterwards for coffee and their famous cinnamon rolls! ☕️🌀 *** ### ✨ The Quality Time Vibe: Before we set off, we’ll tuck our "connected" selves away (phones on aeroplane mode!) so we can truly engage with the city and each other. **Connection that lasts:** Quality Time doesn't end when the walk does! We encourage everyone to share their favourite "snaps" in our community WhatsApp group afterwards. It’s a lovely way to see how we all saw the same city through different eyes. 🖼️🤝 *** ### 🕰️ The Schedule: * **12:30 \|** Meet at the Samuel Beckett Bridge (Look for Maja & Lexie! 🦄🦆). * **12:45 \|** Creative walk begins. * **14:30 \|** Arrival at Ha'penny Bridge & optional coffee social. *** ### 🐥 What to bring: * **📷 Your Camera:** Professional DSLR, film camera, or your phone (strictly for photography—no scrolling!). * **👟 Comfortable Shoes:** We’ll be exploring for about 2 hours. * **🌦️ Rain Gear:** It’s Dublin! Let's be prepared for all four seasons. * **💛 Yourself:** Whether you’re a photographer or just want to socialise and enjoy the walk, you are so welcome! *** ### 🎟️ Tickets & Community Support: We believe everyone deserves access to Quality Time. If you’d like to support our mission to build a more connected Dublin, any contribution is warmly welcomed! 💛 **A Note on Attendees:** Please don’t worry if the numbers look low on Meetup—we manage most of our community through **[Lu.ma](https://luma.com/qualitytime_dublin)**, and our events are always full of life! **⚠️ Liability:** *Everyone is responsible for their own safety and possessions. Let’s look out for one another!* We can't wait to see the city through your eyes. **Hugs, Maja & Lexie** 🦄🦆 *(Quality Time Team)*

We’re bringing back Adult Field Day. Last year was a good mix of competition and just hanging out, so we’re doing it again with some new games mixed in. Think team-based challenges, simple races, and a few things inspired by game shows. You don’t need to be athletic. Most of the fun is just being part of a team and getting to know people you wouldn’t normally talk to. The goal isn’t really winning. It’s meeting people, laughing a bit, and leaving knowing a few more names than when you showed up. If you stick around after, we’ll have a potluck cookout. This is at a race and there is a race that night be sure to check it out $15 cash only after the race about 11:30 or so we’ll start partying by the bonfire. BYOB free camping or sleep sober up in your vehicle do not drink and drive!! Bring: * Please Bring Something to share for the potluck cookout signup sheet [https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E49ABA92EA2FAC70-63781787-saturday](https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E49ABA92EA2FAC70-63781787-saturday) * Clothes you can move around in RSVP on Meetup is free. A small contribution helps keep events sustainable and ensures those who RSVP actually show up. Great events take time, effort, and consistency to organize.
