GURPS

We now conduct virtual MeetUp meetings exclusively. As the group now conducts both online and in-person group meetings, it does not matter too much where you live, if you are currently only interested in online meetings. The purpose of the virtual meeting is to discuss The Work and one's individual knowledge and experience. In the case of those local to Austin, after an online meeting, there may be an in-person meeting prior to admission to group meetings. The MeetUp is organized by The Austin Gurdjieff Society. The group website is: https://austingurdjieff.org/ The group's activities are: - Weekly meetings - Virtual meetings - Work Days - Movements classes with an associate group in New Braunfels - A Week of Work in the Summer - Producing The Lost Herald, a web newsletter/webzine To sign up for The Lost Herald newsletter, click on the following link: https://tofathomthegist.com/2021/05/21/issue-3/ One of the Group leaders is Robin Bloor, a pupil of Rina Hands who was, in her turn, a pupil of Gurdjieff. He is the author of several books on The Work. For more information on his books click on the following link: https://tofathomthegist.com/books/ He also runs seminars on Gurdjieff's Objective Science. These are based on his recent book: Gurdjieff's Hydrogens. Click on the link to watch the Youtube Video: https://youtu.be/hmzyOfzR0uA Click here for a link to the details of the seminar Series https://tofathomthegist.com/gurdjieffs-hydrogens-seminar/sem-seminar-details/ In addition, leads a group that does online Tales readings and discussion. Participation is by invitation only. Click here for details. https://tofathomthegist.com/event/the-tales-study-group/all/ He is a senior member of the Seeker's Café. If you don't know it, its website can be found here: https://seekerscafe.org/ Scheduled meeting dates and times are found here: https://tofathomthegist.com/event/seekers-cafe-gathering/all/ However, you need to be invited to become a member. That's the full extent of the Austin Gurdjieff Society's activities. Outside of the usual activities, the focus of this group's work is the study of Gurdjieff's Writings and the study of Objective Science. If you are interested in becoming part of The Austin Gurdjieff Society, sign-up for a virtual meeting and we'll take it from there.

The purpose of the meetup is to chat about RPG stuff, play RPGs together whenever possible, and give Gamemsasters and Players a way to informally meet and greet each other, talk about RPG stuff, and help to facilitate introducing players to games in the area. If you are a GM with open slots at your table this would be a good venue to meet perspective new players. Just post a RSVP and tell the group a little bit about your game so players can get an idea of what you're up to. Or feel free to drop in and chat about D&Dish stuff. If you are interested in alternative RPGs like some Indie Games or Traveler, or whatever version of D&D from Edition 1 onward, feel free to drop in. We're open to any RPG type games. I'll try to remember to have a sign up stating that this is us which will say "Westchester Area RPG Society (WARS)!!", but do look around for us ... Modern Myths is not a huge store, and we generally will be sitting at the tables in the back of the store. Also, please note - a minimum of three members need to RSVP 24 hours in advance for us to hold the meeting. Otherwise the meeting is postponed until next time. I also encourage members to spark up interest by expressing your RPG interests in your RSVP and encouraging others to attend the meeting as well. :) Mark

Systems are better than goals! This is an idea I first read about it Scott Adam's(Dilbert Cartoon Creator) book "How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big". This concept is further developed in the book "Atomic Habits" by James Clear. If you've never heard about idea before you might think this is a vague statement. You might be curious as what this idea fully entails. Well, tune into Monday Morning Motivation and you'll find out! I'll give a short synopsis of how you can better use systems in your life to get what you want. \*\*\* THIS WILL BE AN ONLINE EVENT\*\*\* Please login 5 minutes early. We will do brief introductions and get into our topic of discussion for the day. Please understand that if you ask to be admitted after 8:05 it will likely be denied, due to the fact that we're probably already in a discussion and it would disrupt the flow. I use "Google Meet". It's Google's version of Zoom. Most people are familiar with it. If you're using your phone you will need to download the app. Just go to the app store and search "google meet". If you'll be on your desktop, you should be able to just click on the link and it will open a new web browser and you can just click on join the meeting. Starting out the week right can set the tone for your whole week! Imagine just starting this simple ritual of tuning into hear something that could motivate your life. It could be something that makes you feel good for the rest of the day. There's nothing like connecting with like minded positive people for a few moments, sharing some smiles and then moving on through your day holding that positive energy. Bring your favorite beverage! I'll have coffee! We'll enjoy a simultaneous sip.

You're taking an important step in developing your public speaking and leadership skills. But, we understand that it can be intimidating to attend a meeting for the first time, especially when you're not sure what to expect. That's why we've put together this guide to help you prepare for your first Toastmasters meeting. By the time you arrive, you'll have a good understanding of what to expect and why Toastmasters is structured the way it is. Here's what you need to know: * **What is Toastmasters?** Toastmasters is an organization that provides a supportive and positive learning environment where members can develop their public speaking and leadership skills. Members meet each week to practice giving speeches, participate in impromptu speaking exercises, and give and receive feedback. This is a combination of in person meeting as well as online. * **A Brief History of Toastmasters** Toastmasters was founded in 1924 by Ralph C. Smedley in Santa Ana, California. Smedley recognized the need for a supportive and structured environment where people could develop their public speaking and leadership skills. Today, Toastmasters has over 363,000 members in 143 countries, making it one of the largest organizations of its kind in the world. * **What happens at a Toastmasters meeting?** Each Toastmasters meeting has a specific structure, with several different roles and activities. Here are some of the key elements you can expect: The meeting begins with a formal opening, usually led by the Sergeant at Arms (SAA) who introduces the Chair of the meeting. The Chair will lead the first half of the meeting and introduce the mini-roles. The purpose of having many small roles is to give the chance to more people to speak. The Toastmaster of the Day (TMD) takes the lead for the second half of the meeting, the education session, which starts with the prepared speeches. Members who have signed up in advance will give a prepared speech on a topic of their choice. The length and format of the speech will depend on the member's level and the type of speech they are giving. **Next is the Table Topics**: This is an opportunity for members to practice impromptu speaking. The Table Topics Master will ask a question or give a prompt, and participants have 1-2 minutes to speak on the topic. **Evaluations:** For each prepared speech, an evaluator will give feedback on the speaker's strengths and areas for improvement. This is an important part of the Toastmasters learning experience, as it helps members identify areas for growth and improvement. The meeting ends with a closing quiz. The quiz master will ask questions to make sure participants were listening! * **Why is Toastmasters structured this way?** The structure of a Toastmasters meeting is designed to provide a supportive and positive learning environment for members. With all the available roles, participants have many opportunities to practice their public speaking and leadership skills, receive feedback, and improve over time. In addition, the structure helps to ensure that meetings are well-organized and run smoothly. This allows members to focus on their personal growth and development, without getting bogged down by administrative details. * **What should I expect as a guest?** As a guest, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment. You will have the opportunity to observe the different activities and get a feel for what Toastmasters is all about. You may be asked to participate in Table Topics, but you are under no obligation to do so. If you prefer to just observe, that's perfectly fine. Most people visiting for the first time find it interesting and unique because of the structure and all the roles. After the meeting, you will have the opportunity to talk to members and ask any questions you have about Toastmasters. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about the organization and how it can benefit you.

[LONG OVERDUE COVID-19 UPDATE] We've not been meeting in person for a very long time, due to the need to protect our community from undue exposure during this pandemic. With over half a million deaths recorded now and no real end in sight, Monday Night Savages remains on hiatus as an in-person gathering event. However, there IS a Discord Server where folks are encouraged to set up online, virtual gaming events, as well as "We've been mutually quarantined and are tested negative" meetups. https://discord.gg/ukmNykS At some point, we hope the vaccines reach enough of the population to warrant general in-person gatherings again. When that day comes, the Monday Night Savages will join once more for great RPG action! ---------- I realized it was high time to update this description, so here it is. Monday Night Savages (called that because, when we started, it was mostly Savage Worlds games we had going) has evolved into all kinds of different games being run. We have numerous GMs, thankfully, and we have them rotating on an every-two-week basis. This means a given campaign or short series will run every other Monday for a while, while the opposite Mondays will feature a different set of games. Your best bet to find out what games are in the rotation is to join our Facebook group. Let me (Sean Patrick Fannon) know on FB that you'd like in on that group. That's also a great group to talk about games you'd like to run or see someone run. Prior to each Monday, the proposed games will be listed in the Conversation section below this announcement section; make sure you indicate your game choice below when it's posted. ~SPF

The historic Boardgame And RPG Enthusiasts Group is organizing online boardgames each wednesday, at 8:30 pm - 11:30pm on their online discord. Join a welcoming community for folk near and far, young and old, of every shape, ability, and gender identity, as they enjoy digital boardgames and chatting in our discord voice channel to build a fun online community, centered around boardgames and roleplaying games. Chatting in the discord requires a microphone for your personal computer and a discord account. You can join our discord for free at the following web address. [https://discord.gg/nagJvNAmvs](https://discord.gg/nagJvNAmvs) There are many different methods we use to play board games online, but the most common is a free website, Boardgame Arena. It is accessible through an app or from most web browsers, and facilitates live games of over 480 of the most popular boardgames. It's easy to use! All you need is an email address and you can sign up for a free account here: [https://en.boardgamearena.com/account?page=newuser](https://en.boardgamearena.com/account?page=newuser) Some games often played by members on BGA include, but are not limited to; Innovation, Space Base, Railroad Ink, Race for the Galaxy, 7 Wonders, Welcome To, and many more. We also use the discord to coordinate future events, and with the recent access to widespread vaccination we are in the process of carefully opening up some live and in-person events. Come join us to be a part of the planning, or just for the most recent updates! This meeting will be a freeform gaming event. Freeform Gaming meetings are open gaming events where everyone is welcome (and encouraged!) to suggest any games they would like to play. If you suggest a game, please be prepared to teach it to others, or make it clear up front if it will be a learning game for everyone. Rules lawyers and game-crappers should feel free to stay home. To attend, all that we ask is that you review the Group Guidelines ([http://www.meetup.com/bn-bareg/messages/boards/thread/4892770](http://www.meetup.com/bn-bareg/messages/boards/thread/4892770)). While not required, RSVPing helps let us plan how to break up groups for games ahead of time. Knowing beforehand, if we have room for a 6 player game of Codenames, or if someone is wanting to play a 5 player game of Terraforming Mars, makes things a little easier to plan. We hope to see you there!

This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD
