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. All materials provided and rules are explained at the start of each game, you just need to bring your imagination. 🎭 **This week's facilitators:** * 🚀 **Filip** running *Coriolis - The Third Horizon*, a space opera game steeped in Middle-Eastern inspired aesthetics, culture, and mysticism. You have been hired by the Baroness Hungry Reason to attend a Mourner's Auction on Eventide Needle and obtain a fragment of a dead mathematician's memories: "The First Rain". Expect mystical intrigue with exploration and negotiation at the forefront - combat is possible but not required. * 🧑‍⚖️ **Emil** with another case for the *Eldritch Defenders*, a rules-light game of investigation and moral argument where you play lawyers defending fantastical creatures. This week, a ghost bound to a crumbling building in Hell's Kitchen is preventing a redevelopment operation by the landlord. The firm will try to defend the ghost's rights and help uncover the reason why the landlord is so desperate to move on and erase the building's history. * 🧑‍🚀 **Wojtek** guiding a starship crew through an abandoned colony in the sci-fi survival horror scenario, *Mothership: Another Bug Hunt*. The colonists on Samsa-VI have lost contact with the Company. But they've gained contact with something else. The players' crew must re-establish communications with a remote terraforming colony. However, when they arrive they find an abandoned colony and the remains of a bloody assault... *** Feel free to ask the organisers any questions you have (here or on our [Discord server](https://tinyurl.com/indie-rpgs-dublin)).

We're hosting another in-person writing session - back in COSTA Dawson so we can sit together comfortably. What is a write-together? It's a couple of focused writing sprints (30 mins each) with breaks in between for for snacks and chats. It's a chance to get some writing done and to meet other writers. All are welcome, old hands and newbies alike, and you can write whatever you like. To find us, go downstairs and seek out the people with laptops and notebooks.

Hi, all Independent Movie Lovers. You are invited meet at 7 pm, on Friday the 20th of February. This meeting is at the Café on the ground floor of the Light House Cinema, Smithfield Square, Dublin. We will discuss the film: **My Father's Shadow** (2025), directed by Akinola Davies. My Father's Shadow is set in 1993, and examines a family's struggles in Lagos. We will also discuss: **Apocalypse Now** (1979), directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Several versions are in circulation. It seems the Apple TV and Sky Store are showing the 147 minute cut that was essentially the original theatrical release. I think Coppola's 2019 'Final Cut' is available for rental from YouTube, and this would be the preferred cut for discussion. We will watch the movies independently, and meet for discussion on Friday the 20th of February, at 7 pm, at the Café on the ground floor of the Light House Cinema, Smithfield Square. **My Father's Shadow** is showing at some Dublin cinemas, including Cineworld in Parnell St, the Light House Cinema at Smithfield, and the IFI, Eustace St, until Thursday the 12th of February. **Apocalypse Now**, the 'final cut' is available for online rental on YouTube. Other versions are available for rental from Apple TV and Sky Store. Michael Sheeran

Hi everyone, With DIFF currently underway, and some unusual movie times in the schedules, our *usual venues* are not going to suit us this Friday, so I’ve chosen to go to the historic **Savoy Cinema** on O’Connell Street instead. This weekend is the release of another Award-popular movie, particularly for the lead actress, Rose Byrne - If I Had Legs I’d Kick You. So we’ll go to the 8pm screening at the Savoy. It has unreserved seating, so do book early. **IF I HAD LEGS I’D KICK YOU (113 mins) Screen 4 at 8pm** [If I Had Legs I'd Kick You | Official Trailer HD | A24](https://youtu.be/ywFDoT7LBbQ?si=KGpuxJAMXbCVzmQ1) To book - [https://booking.imc.ie/booking/?cinema=savoy&stage=tickets&perf=155527](https://booking.imc.ie/booking/?cinema=savoy&stage=tickets&perf=155527) *“Rose Byrne gives a performance of blistering intensity in Mary Bronstein’s extraordinary second feature; a white-knuckle ride into the psyche of a woman on the brink of despair. Byrne plays Linda, a psychoanalyst caring for her critically ill daughter who must relocate to a dingy hotel. Her husband (Christian Slater) is away, and she must single-handedly juggle hospital visits with treating her clients, while monitoring repairs to her home. If I Had Legs I’d Kick You is a brave, formally daring, and entirely unforgettable experience.”* **Dining:** We will then have dinner beforehand in [Bobo’s on Abbey Street](https://maps.app.goo.gl/kFLX3BF9JVUVVVzw5) at 6:30pm. It’s primarily a really good burger place, but they also do nachos, wings, and salads as well. If you wish to join us for dinner, please post a Comment to be included in the numbers as space is limited. Note that they do not split bills there so it’s CASH ONLY again for this one. **And if you want to explore more about The Savoy’s rich history: [https://www.dublincity.ie/library/blog/savoy-cinema-souvenir-programme-opening-ceremony-november-29-1929-president-cosgrave](https://www.dublincity.ie/library/blog/savoy-cinema-souvenir-programme-opening-ceremony-november-29-1929-president-cosgrave)**
