Card Making & Stamping

Weekly Draft night in NW. We currently meet up at Franklin Hall near 14th and Florida. U Street Metro is the closest stop. I'll have packs but feel free to bring packs if you have them. Entry is $17 (you can bring Play Booster packs to lower the cost by $3.50). If it is a special set, it will be more.

Come out to [Third Hill Brewing Company](https://www.thirdhillbrewing.com/) and play some board games! Serving food with their variety of drinks so come and fuel up for the games. Learn about new games, play games, meet new friends, and have a good time! All ages and levels of experience/knowledge of games are welcome as long as you have a willingness to learn and/or teach your games. Host will provide some games but as always, you are welcome/encouraged to bring your own (recommended you know them and/or ready to teach them). Please be aware that there is no direct parking but there is nearby parking garages. **NTBG** is a safe environment for all to have fun. Bullying/harassment is not tolerated.

Come the whole time or if you just spend 30 minutes. All are welcome. You are welcome and encouraged to bring your own coloring supplies but, if you don't have any, I will have plenty and am happy to share! (coloring books, colored pencils, and markers). Part of the mission of this group is to provide us an opportunity to check out AND SUPPORT local businesses. So, please don't bring any outside food/drinks and, while purchasing something isn't at all a REQUIREMENT to participate in the event, I do strongly encourage you to try something from the vendor :) I look forward to seeing and meeting you there! ***\*\*DISCLAIMER*\*\*** Photos may be taken during the event to be shared here on Meetup so feel free to let me know if you'd like to be excluded from them.

**Could it be that the perfect format doesn't exist because the cards for it haven’t yet been made? Are ideas already budding in your mind? Let’s bring them to life. Even if they aren't perfect, I want to see them in action! Expand an existing theme or brew an entirely new one.** **Here’s a card editor you may use:** **[https://lauqerm.github.io/ygocarder/](https://lauqerm.github.io/ygocarder/?data=%7B%22fm%22%3A%22tcg%22%2C%22rg%22%3A%22en%22%2C%22fr%22%3A%22ritual%22%2C%22lf%22%3A%22auto%22%2C%22rf%22%3A%22auto%22%2C%22rpf%22%3A%22auto%22%2C%22fo%22%3A%22normal%22%2C%22op%22%3A%7B%22opbd%22%3A100%2C%22oppd%22%3A100%2C%22optx%22%3A100%2C%22opnm%22%3A100%2C%22opbf%22%3A%22%23404040%22%2C%22opab%22%3Atrue%2C%22opnb%22%3Atrue%2C%22opeb%22%3Atrue%2C%22opfb%22%3Atrue%2C%22opbl%22%3Afalse%7D%2C%22fn%22%3A%5B%5D%2C%22afn%22%3A%22normal%22%2C%22of%22%3A%5B%22normal%22%2C%22normal%22%2C%22normal%22%2C%22normal%22%5D%2C%22na%22%3A%22Junko%22%2C%22nst%22%3A%22custom%22%2C%22ns%22%3A%7B%22nsfs%22%3A%22%23000000%22%2C%22nssc%22%3A%22%23000000%22%7D%2C%22at%22%3A%22TRAP%22%2C%22att%22%3A%22auto%22%2C%22sf%22%3A%22NO+ICON%22%2C%22it%22%3A%22auto%22%2C%22st%22%3A6%2C%22stl%22%3A%5B%5D%2C%22sa%22%3A%22auto%22%2C%22ar%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fh5kXZeC.png%22%2C%22ad%22%3A%22%22%2C%22as%22%3A%22online%22%2C%22af%22%3Afalse%2C%22arc%22%3A%7B%22aru%22%3A%22%25%22%2C%22ara%22%3A1.325%2C%22arx%22%3A0%2C%22ary%22%3A4%2C%22arw%22%3A100%2C%22arh%22%3A67.54716981132076%7D%2C%22hbg%22%3Afalse%2C%22bg%22%3A%22%22%2C%22bgd%22%3A%22%22%2C%22bf%22%3Afalse%2C%22bgs%22%3A%22online%22%2C%22bgt%22%3A%22fit%22%2C%22bgc%22%3A%7B%22bgx%22%3A0%2C%22bgy%22%3A4%2C%22bgw%22%3A100%2C%22bgh%22%3A89.5%2C%22bgu%22%3A%22%25%22%2C%22bga%22%3A1%7D%2C%22lm%22%3A%5B%221%22%2C%223%22%2C%227%22%2C%229%22%5D%2C%22lr%22%3A%22%22%2C%22il%22%3Anull%2C%22ip%22%3Atrue%2C%22pf%22%3A%22auto%22%2C%22pe%22%3A%22Once+per+turn%3A+You+can+pay+800+LP%2C+increase+this+card%27s+Pendulum+Scale+by+1.%22%2C%22rs%22%3A%224%22%2C%22bs%22%3A%224%22%2C%22psi%22%3A%22medium%22%2C%22ta%22%3A%5B%22Trap+Card%22%5D%2C%22es%22%3A%7B%22cdtl%22%3A%22strict%22%2C%22efs%22%3A%22auto%22%2C%22eus%22%3A0%2C%22ebg%22%3A%22auto%22%2C%22eml%22%3A0%2C%22ejr%22%3A100%7D%2C%22ps%22%3A%7B%22pfs%22%3A%22auto%22%2C%22pus%22%3A0%2C%22pbg%22%3A%22auto%22%2C%22pml%22%3A0%2C%22pjr%22%3A100%7D%2C%22ef%22%3A%22%5B2%2B+Effect+Monsters%5D%5CnEach+time+an+opponent%27s+monster+activates+its+effect%2C+place+1+Pure+Counter+on+that+opponent%27s+monster+%28max.+1%29+after+that+effect+resolves.+Unaffected+by+activated+effects+from+monster+with+a+Pure+Counter.+Cannot+be+destroyed+by+battle+with+monsters+with+a+Pure+Counter.%22%2C%22si%22%3A%22YGOC-EN001%22%2C%22atk%22%3A%222000%22%2C%22def%22%3A%222000%22%2C%22pw%22%3A%2218111996%22%2C%22sti%22%3A%22holo5%22%2C%22fe%22%3A%221%3Cst%3E+Edition%22%2C%22ife%22%3Atrue%2C%22act%22%3A%22%22%2C%22hct%22%3Afalse%2C%22isp%22%3Afalse%2C%22ile%22%3Afalse%2C%22idt%22%3Afalse%2C%22ilc%22%3Afalse%2C%22cr%22%3A%22%C2%A92020+Studio+Dice%2FSHUEISHA+TV+TOKYO%2C+KONAMI%22%2C%22fh%22%3Atrue%2C%22sts%22%3A%5Bfalse%2C%22%23000000%22%2Cfalse%2C%22%23000000%22%5D%2C%22tts%22%3A%5Bfalse%2C%22%23000000%22%2Cfalse%2C%22%23000000%22%5D%2C%22ets%22%3A%5Bfalse%2C%22%23000000%22%2Cfalse%2C%22%23000000%22%5D%2C%22pts%22%3A%5Bfalse%2C%22%23000000%22%2Cfalse%2C%22%23000000%22%5D%2C%22ots%22%3A%5Bfalse%2C%22%23000000%22%2Cfalse%2C%22%23000000%22%5D%2C%22dl%22%3A%5B%22%22%2C%22%22%2C%22%22%2C%22%22%2C%22%22%2C%22%22%2C%22%22%5D%2C%22fl%22%3A%5B0%2C0%5D%2C%22ve%22%3A3%7D)** **Just click and type away.

Join DC Metro Crafts for a field trip. We'll be at Quill and Crumbs, the cafe at the Shakespeare Folger Library. The Shakespeare Folger Library is about 3 blocks from the Capitol South metro. Head up First as you get out of the station, pass the Library of Congress and the Capitol, turn right on East Capitol, and the Folger is on the right. The entrance is around the side, not through the front of the building. Head upstairs to the cafe and we'll be at the tables at the back. Bring your own cross stitch, knitting, crochet, or other portable craft. We'll be in the back at the group tables.

Join us for a night of board gaming with FANG (Fem All Night Gaming). **We are an all fem board game group** in Columbus, Ohio. No cis-men, please! We play modern hobby board games! If you're unsure what that is, we can teach you! We'll be meeting on the second floor of Giant Eagle in their cafe area. Giant Eagle has a lot of food and beverage options including their hot foods bars. You are also welcome to bring in any outside food.

Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations. 
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that. We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus. 
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn. 
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play. 
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders… 
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords… 
IMPORTANT: 
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for. 
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus. Sponsored by [Transform Labs](https://www.transformlabs.com/services)

This week is Twos-day on a Wednesday. Bring your favorite 2 player games and be ready to teach some and learn others. We'll bounce around and get to know new people and new games. Think speed dating but without the stress, romance or dating! And we don't judge, if you'd prefer to stick to bigger games by all means, go for it! The Forge does have a full bar and kitchen. There is no cover charge but they do request all attendees to purchase a minimum of ~$20 per person. Soft drink refills are $1 each. Please support our hosts so we can continue to provide great events for the group! The Forge has a large library of games available for us to enjoy. Hosts and regulars will also provide numerous popular games but please bring any games you would like to teach and/or play. Doors open at 6, and we expect gaming to be rolling by around 630. Please promptly end your games and clear out the space at 10pm when the bar closes. We encourage socializing but do not permit disruptive behavior of any kind. Thank you for your continued commitment to providing a fun and welcoming space to veteran, newbie, and rookie gamers in the Columbus area. Parking can be challenging. There is a parking lot behind the neighboring Mexican restaurant that is free and easy to walk from but it's a bit hidden.

Pay attention! We’re delaying a week for those of you who may be on Spring break and/or celebrating the holiday. Ok, no pancakes, but waffles-a-plenty. Join the local UX and Digital Design community for a casual monthly breakfast. Look for us upstairs!
