It is not kind to me. It does not belong to me.” Do You Come From Gomorrah? is a memory play, one man’s elegy to a younger self who survived impossible circumstances. In this world premiere, written by **Frank McGuinness** and performed by **Ryan Donaldson**, over the course of 75 minutes, we meet a man who has come through a terrible experience with enough humanity left that he can tell us about it. This story is a testimony of all people who have been abused by those in authority, a protest against cruelty. Exploring the strangeness and contradictions of 1970s Ulster, it registers the damage done and celebrates the act of survival. “his cheek bones so beautiful I have to close my eyes in case he blinds me” **Running time:** approx. 1 hour and 15 minutes

Our free-of-charge meet-up in the Black Sheep Pub on Capel Street. This is a casual meet up for people who want to play boardgames. Lots of people bring plenty of games and rules will always be explained so don't worry if you're new to the hobby and you don't have anything to bring along or think you won't know how to play. The meet-up runs for the whole day but late comers always welcome, you just may have to wait a little for a game to open up but games will be starting and ending throughout the day. **IMPORTANT!** **The meet up is free of charge but we do ask that people support the bar by buying food and/or drink. The bar is very accommodating to us and it's important that we support them in return. Bringing in outside food or drink is completely unacceptable.** Check out the comments below where people will say what games they are bringing and express your interest in joining if interested. Any questions contact either of the organisers Gavin or Stephen.

We are a group that plays Pathfinder, a tabletop RPG. We are relaunching the games in Dublin and for that we need new players like you. We will explain the rules to you and help you create your dream character. If you want to join the fun, get in one of the games at [https://warhorn.net/events/ireland-pfs/schedule/2026/05/02](https://warhorn.net/events/ireland-pfs/schedule/2026/05/02) What do I need? Just a set of dice and something to take notes. Do I need a character to play? We have pregenerated characters of all types that you can use right away. Do I need to know all the rules? The basic rules are not difficult, and we can help you get up to speed if you don't know them. Here is a basic guide https://www.simplypf2e.com/simplyplayers Is this an ongoing adventure? All Pathfinder Society games are short adventures that can be completed in 3 or 4 hours. They all have their own story and resolution. It's free, just buy something at the shop if you like.

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)).

Give(a)Go is hosting a beginner-friendly agent builder day in Dublin on **May 2nd**, as part of a global week of building around AI agents. **NOTE: To confirm your spot register on [www.giveago.co/register/zero-to-agent](https://giveago.co/register/zero-to-agent)** Agents are the new apps. They don't just respond, they reason, plan, and act. They browse the web, call APIs, write code, send messages, and loop until the job is done. And right now, the tooling to build them has caught up with the ambition. This is a beginner-friendly event. ​This is a day to go from zero to a working agent. Something that actually does something. Not a demo, not a prototype sitting in a notebook -- a deployed, live, usable thing with a URL you can share. ## ​Build tracks ​You can choose one of the tracks below, or mix tools if your idea needs it. ## ​Track 1: Vibe coding agents with Vercel ​Use Vercel’s tools to go quickly from idea to deployed agent. ​This track is for people who want to build fast, prototype with natural language, create interfaces, connect tools, and ship something live by the end of the day. ​**v0 + MCPs** Go from prompt to interface, then connect your app to real tools and data. ​**Workflow Development Kit** Build durable agent workflows that can run async tasks, recover from failures, and continue across deploys. ​**ChatSDK Agents** Create agents that live inside chat-based workflows like Slack, Discord, GitHub, or your own product. **NOTE: To confirm your spot register on [www.giveago.co/register/zero-to-agent](https://giveago.co/register/zero-to-agent)** # ​Track 2: Production-ready agents with Lua ​Use Lua to build agents that connect to real tools, APIs, and business workflows. ​This track is for builders who want to write actual agent logic in TypeScript, define custom tools, connect external services, test locally, and deploy without managing infrastructure. ​Lua is especially useful for agents that need to work across real channels like web, mobile, Slack, email, WhatsApp, Instagram, or Facebook Messenger, while handling hosting, scaling, orchestration, context, retries, and monitoring behind the scenes. ​Good for builders who want to create agents that feel closer to real products: customer support agents, lead qualification agents, internal operations agents, e-commerce assistants, research agents, workflow automations, and API-connected assistants. **What to Expect on the Day** * ​A full day of focused building with other motivated builders * ​Short kickoff to set direction and expectations * ​Focused on hands-on learning, learning by doing * ​Build solo or collaborate with someone new * ​End-of-day demos where people shares what they shipped *** ## ​Schedule ​🕙 **11:00 AM** — Doors open 💡 **11:15 AM** — Welcome + kickoff 🎨 **12:00 PM** — Inspiration & scoping 🍕 **1:00 PM** — Lunch 🖥️ **4 :30 PM** — Live demos & shipped agents showcase **NOTE: To confirm your spot register on [www.giveago.co/register/zero-to-agent](https://giveago.co/register/zero-to-agent)** ## ​Global prizes ​Builders who submit through the global build week will also be eligible for the global competition, with **$6,000+ in prizes**. ​Top submissions can win up to **$3,000 in credits plus Vercel Pro**. There will also be a **Community Favourite** award voted on by builders globally on May 3 and 4. # ​**Sponsors** ## ​[V0](https://v0.app/?utm_source=luma) by Vercel ​v0 is the leading AI-powered interface builder for modern web teams — empowering marketers, product folks, designers, developers, and AI-curious builders come together to ship real apps using v0. ## ​[Lua AI](https://heylua.ai/?utm_source=luma) \- The Agent OS ​Build, deploy, and scale enterprise-grade AI agents. Ship your first agent without touching infrastructure. ## ​[Baseline](https://baseline.community/?utm_source=luma) *(Venue Partner)* ​Baseline is an independent community and workspace for early-stage founders who are building breakout and break-through tech companies in Ireland. ## ​Community Partner ​[​](https://www.wolfpack-digital.com/?utm_source=luma)**[Wolfpack Digital](https://www.wolfpack-digital.com/?utm_source=luma):** Award-winning web and mobile product studio with teams in Dublin and Cluj-Napoca, working with clients from early-stage startups to global brands. *** **NOTE: To confirm your spot register on [www.giveago.co/register/zero-to-agent](https://giveago.co/register/zero-to-agent)** ## ​**​Community** ​​​​\*\*[Give(a)Go](https://giveago.co/?utm_source=luma)\*\* is a Dublin-based builder community running hands-on technical events for ambitious people who make things. 30+ events. 1,500+ attendees.

If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized!

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.
