**Read this carefully before signing up!** [Dungeon World](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeon_World) is a narrative high fantasy roleplaying game, built on the [Powered by the Apocalypse](https://www.forbes.com/sites/robwieland/2020/12/29/a-beginners-guide-to-powered-by-the-apocalypse-games/) framework. It was first published in 2011 and has since become one of the most popular tabletop RPGs in the world. Two years ago, the original creators of Dungeon World commissioned a new design team to develop **Dungeon World 2**, bringing the game up-to-date and taking into account 15 years of evolution, creativity and play in the PbtA community since the early days of the game. This new ruleset is not yet ready for public testing, but a series of closed alphas took place in 2025. On 2 February 2026, a 'final alpha' ruleset was distributed to a small community for a round of playtesting during the spring. This game is part of that playtesting round. **About this game** Using the final alpha ruleset, we will design a set of characters and then jump into a short adventure entitled The Orchard of Glass Wolves. You don't have to know anything about Dungeon World or have any specific roleplaying experience to join the game. The ruleset is designed to be beginner-friendly. Also, it's worth saying that I (as GM) have been working with Dungeon World for many years, but the new alpha ruleset contains a lot of new stuff for me too, so we will be discovering it together! The outcome of our game, and our feedback on the experimental ruleset, will be shared directly with the designers. **This adventure will take *two evenings* to complete. If you want to take part, you need to be available on *both* the following dates:** * **Sunday 15 February, 19:00 at Outpost Brussels** [(sign up)](https://www.meetup.com/boardgamemonkeys/events/313187960/) * **Tuesday 17 February, 19:00 at Outpost Brussels** **Please do not sign up for just one session. You must sign up for both -- or neither!** If you do sign up, please do so in a spirit of experimentation, patience and good humour, and let's see where the game takes us...

General theme: Narrative Knowledge What are the consequences of our relying on narratives as a means to knowing, understanding and relating to the world? What are the advantages and disadvantages of our using narratives as a fundamental way to communicate with one another? Have our interactions and interrelationships in general become captivated (literally) by an excessive dominance of narratives? Just as walking upright has enhanced our ability to navigate our physical world, so has communicating via language enhanced our ability to navigate our social as well as introspective worlds. Dirt paths and asphalt roads we have created during our long process of walking upright have at the same time ultimately determined how we now currently interact with our physical landscapes - closed loops, literally and figuratively. Have all our inherited created narratives also closed-looped our minds, rigidly structuring how we relate to our own selves and to others? Is a key to cultural progress and evolution simply to add many new narratives, all expressing divergent perspectives? Or would de-narrating both our inner and outer worlds be an equally - possibly even more - valuable strategy? With what could we replace narratives if we still wanted/needed to connect and interact with ourselves, with others and with the world? Special theme: The Paradox of Philosophy Are there better ways to arrive at insight, understanding and meaning than by thinking philosophically? What we might call a "philosopher's paradox": 1.Philosophizing essentially demands optimizing our thinking (reasoning, conceptualizing, imagining...) as well as our overall awareness (of here, of now, of others, of self...). 2.Thinking typically diminishes awareness, and vice-versa. 3a. Western philosophy tends to prioritize thinking (abstract) over awareness (concrete). 3b. Much of western philosophy (even Phenomenology!) is consequently narrative in form. Conclusion: Optimizing our thinking necessitates ridding of (or at least suspending) our awareness. Nevertheless, awareness remains a valuable vehicle for attaining knowledge and insight. Is this "philosopher's paradox" simply an intellectual bug? Or is it a fundamental - arguably problematic - feature of our thinking that impedes us from knowing and experiencing anything most directly and fully? What better ways are there in any case to understand the nature of ourselves, our world and our existence than through thinking and philosophy?? Is a dog or rabbit more in touch with being and reality than a human? "Between your thoughts, it's the space that listens." Elias Amidon, from "Medicine Beauty" Illustration: "Socrates, Plato, Aristotle & the Buddhist monks" (concept by Alan Woo, executed by ChatGPT)

Save the date :-) We will have another 'death is...dialogue' evening on Friday, February 20th from 6-8.30pm. This will be a more open discussion around the topic of death with other attendees. Come with your questions, your stories, and a big dose of open curiosity. Snacks & drinks provided 5 euro contribution to help cover the cost of the space

Welcome to our weekly event in the upstairs room of The Sister Café, rue Chair et Pain 3, one block from the Grand Place. Please get there early enough to order your drink at the bar first. Thank you! After introductions we will collect questions from the group participants, choose one by voting then discuss it for an hour. Then most of us stay for drinks and bizarre conversations. Past questions have been wide and not confined to academic philosophy: What is a genuine friend? Is social media turning us into emotional zombies? Do we lose some of the experience of things by defining them? Are we driven by sex? Is loneliness a personal failure? Is morality relative? **Crucially, be kind and respectful and generous** in your disagreements; remember how much you personally enjoy someone else proving you wrong before celebrating your cutting counterexamples.

#### Do you freeze, overthink, or hold back when asked to improvise? Many singers feel blocked when improvising. You might worry about singing the wrong note, feel stiff when using your voice freely, or believe that improvisation requires creativity you don’t have. In this workshop led by our vocal teacher [Sandy](https://www.pacsonmusicschool.com/more-info-sandy), we’ll **explore improvisation through a guided vocal circle**, using vocalises, sounds, and spontaneous expression rather than prepared songs. **This approach helps you develop your ear, strengthen your musical instinct, and learn to listen and respond naturally in the moment.** Improvisation becomes less about thinking and more about sensing, listening, and allowing your voice to move freely. In a safe and supportive group environment, you’ll discover how to trust your voice, release control, and experience singing as a natural and intuitive process. This workshop is based on guided vocal improvisation exercises in a group circle, where active participation is essential. Paid event: 35 Euro Registration and payment via [link](https://www.pacsonmusicschool.com/events-1/improvisation-freedom-singing-without-fear-all-levels)

📚 Book Club Invitation: The Ape That Understood the Universe by Steve Stewart-Williams Hello curious minds and lovers of big questions, For our February meeting, we turn to The Ape That Understood the Universe, a fascinating and accessible exploration of how the human mind evolved to make sense of reality, from everyday beliefs to science, religion, and culture. Steve Stewart-Williams takes us on a journey through evolutionary psychology, showing how the same mental tools that helped our ancestors survive also shape our deepest intuitions, sometimes helping us understand the world, sometimes leading us astray. If you’ve ever wondered: * Why humans are so good at storytelling * How evolution shaped our beliefs about meaning, morality, and truth * Whether science is just another cultural product… or something more …this book offers plenty of fuel for reflection and debate. 📅 Date: Friday, 21 February ⏰ Time: 11:30 📍 Venue: Carpe Diem, Avenue de Tervuren 13, 1040 Brussels Expect an engaging and open discussion about human nature, evolution, culture, and how an evolved ‘ape’ ended up trying to understand the universe, all in a relaxed setting with good coffee and good company. As always, you’re welcome whether you read every chapter or just grasped the main ideas. Those who wish can stay for lunch afterward and continue the conversation informally. 📞 Questions: 0474.60.83.70 🏡 Book Club Home Rules 1️⃣ You’re welcome even if you didn’t finish the book. 2️⃣ We listen to understand, not to win. 3️⃣ Curiosity, respect, and openness come first — especially when ideas challenge us. Looking forward to another lively exchange of ideas 🧠
