Social and Cultural Outings

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'll choose one to 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:** * 📺 **Eoin** with *[Public Access](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gauntlet/public-access-analog-horror-mystery-ttrpg)*, an analogue horror/mystery game using the Brindlewood Bay system. The year is 2004. You've returned to Deep Lake, New Mexico on a mission to uncover the secrets behind a TV station that only you and a few likeminded obsessives seem to remember. As you hunt for video tapes and clues to the mystery surrounding the long lost channel, you'll uncover far more than you bargained for - about this unassuming town and yourselves. * 🌇 **Vishnu** with *Hex and the City*: an urban fantasy clone of *[Lasers and Feelings](https://johnharper.itch.io/lasers-feelings)* where you are members of a monster hunting crew. You are all that stands between the forces of darkness and the innocent people that don't believe in them. Whatever hijinks and personal drama you have going on in the background, you have always managed to come through and save this City. Or at least, you have until SERENITY, THE CHOSEN ONE got herself grievously wounded in the last battle, leaving you with no prophetic visions to guide you, or convenient one-shot monster killing powers while she recovers. (Or maybe she's off "recuperating" with her demon boyfriend again, who knows?) * 🐐 **Scott** with *[Goat Crashers](https://gshowitt.itch.io/goat-crashers)*, a Grant Howitt one-page RPG. You're a cheeky little goat who just wants to party. Problem is, the only party in town doesn't want goats to attend. But to hell with them; you're going to get inside by any means necessary and have the BEST time. *** Feel free to ask the organisers any questions you have (here or on our [Discord server](https://tinyurl.com/indie-rpgs-dublin)).

The feast day of Divine Mercy is the Sunday after Easter. This special day commemorates God’s unfathomable love for us expressed through his divine mercy. It is based on the visions and experiences of Our Lord which were granted to Sister (now saint) Faustina Kowalska during the 1930's. One of the messages from Our Lord to St Faustina - “*On that Day, the very depths of My Tender Mercy are open, whoever goes to confession and receives Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment.*” (Diary:699) We will go for coffee in the Maldron Hotel afterwards.

### **The Vibe** Time to trade the city skyline for a 360-degree view of Wicklow. We’re heading up the Great Sugar Loaf for a brisk morning hike to clear the head and get some fresh mountain air. It’s a short but steep rocky climb that feels like a real accomplishment before we reward ourselves with coffee and bites nearby. ### **The Plan** * **10:30 AM:** Meet at the **Great Sugar Loaf Car Park** (the one off the L1031, exact location below). Look for the tall guy —you won't miss me. * **The Hike:** It’s a roughly 1 to 1.5-hour round trip. It’s a bit of a scramble near the top, so bring boots or sturdy sneakers. * **The Reward:** After we descend, we’ll convoy to a nearby spot for coffee, brunch, and a proper chat. (I'm eyeing up **The Pluck-and-Pantry** or **Avoca Kilmacanogue**, but open to suggestions!) * **Finish:** We’ll have you back on the road/home by 1:30 or 2:00 PM. ### **Who is this for?** Anyone who wants to start their Sunday with momentum rather than a slow crawl. If you like nature, good conversation, and don't mind a little bit of a rocky path, come along. ### **Note on Weather** If it's misty, we climb (the rocks look cooler in the fog anyway). If it’s a dangerous gale, I’ll update the group by 8:30 AM Sunday morning. **Let's claim the summit. See you there!**

Dodgeball is back again! If you’ve been wanting to come out, this is an easy one to join. We’ll be playing for about 1.5 to 2 hours, you do not need to bring any equipment, and no experience is needed. We use a specific set of rules and equipment to make the games run better and keep them fun for everybody, not just people who already know how to play. If it rains, the event will be canceled.

We have never until now featured Zinfandel, the ubiquitous California grape with the Dublin Wine MeetUp Group. At its best Zinfandel, is rich, voluptuous, with great depth of red and blue fruits. Jammy and hedonistic are common descriptions Each person should bring one bottle of an quality Zinfandel wine; be creative and quality conscious, with some bottle age if possible. Turley, Martinelli, Biale, Seghesio, Ridge, Hartford Bedrock, Carlisle, Klinker Brick, Frog's Leap, and anything from the Rockpile vineyard is likely to be very good to great. The Prisoner wines began as a Zinfandel blend. Also bring a protein based appetizer to share and **a wine glass for your personal use.** Cheese and meats are best with these wines. There will be a gas grill behind the clubhouse to grill. We’ll gather at the Oak Creek clubhouse, where the Dublin Wine Group, hosted by Thom and supported by Timothy, will take it from there. Come join us for a fantastic mix of great wine, food, and even better company! The evening wraps up at 10 PM. **Please pay $10 at the door per person to cover the cost of the room rental and for the tableware, napkins, water and cups.** 🍷 **6:46 PM – Dublin Wine Group Social** 📍 **Oak Creek Clubhouse** **9005 Oak Village Blvd, Lewis Center, OH 43035** View on Maps (https://maps.apple.com/place?address=9005%20Oak%20Village%20Blvd,%20Lewis%20Center,%20OH%20%2043035,%20United%20States&coordinate=40.158011,-83.003901&name=Oak%20Creek%20at%20Polaris&place-id=I8D83B59D441EDD9B&map=explore)
