Come as you are. Bring your curiosity! The **Arcane RPG Guild UAE** is a community for people who love the craft of tabletop storytelling — the design behind it, the decisions inside it, the worlds that come out of it. You don't need to be an experienced player. You just need to care about good stories. This session we have a full evening lined up. * **👋 Meet & Greet** If it's your first time, welcome. If you're a regular, bring someone new. We open session with informal introductions — a good way to find out who's at the table and what they're working on. * **📰 TTRPG News** What's been happening in the tabletop world? We share releases, announcements, and things worth paying attention to. No prep needed — just bring anything you've noticed. * **🔨 World Forge —** we will discuss full original setting to the table: *ExM:roya* — a hard sci-fi TTRPG about giant mechs, fragile pilots, and a galaxy fractured by a single discovery: matter from outside our universe that releases near-unlimited energy. Whoever controls it controls everything. This isn't a pitch. It's a working session. We look at the setting, the custom system, the design decisions — and the community helps stress-test it. What's working? What questions does it raise? What would you want to explore as a player? * **🌐 Community & Platform Discussion** How do TTRPG communities build and sustain themselves online? We're opening the floor to talk about platforms, tools, and what actually works for groups like ours — locally and across the region. 💰 **Free event** \-\- just grab a coffee or a bite at **Caféine Club** to support the venue hosting us. 🕖 May 14, at 7:00 PM 📍 Caféine Club UAE See you at the table. 🎲

Come assist Van Buren Shelter (https://ymcacolumbus.org/locations/vanburen) staff in serving dinners and cleaning up on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above. There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change. The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/). Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers. For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.
