All materials provided and rules are explained at the start of each game, you just need to bring your imagination. 🎭 **This week's facilitators:** * 🧑‍🚀 **Axel** with *[Sol: Beyond Earth](https://zeruhur.itch.io/sol-beyond-earth): The Venus Incident*, a rules-light RPG set in a retrofuturistic universe. The year is 2090, in a world where the Space Race never ended and now human colonies and outposts proliferate in Earth orbit and across the Solar System. Peace between the major global powers has been maintained by the United Nations of Earth, and humanity has entered what promises to be a golden age. You are the crew of the UN survey vessel *Sally Ride*, carrying out a survey near Venus. A routine mission…or is it…? * ⚒️ **Nathan** with *[Bam! New Skill!](https://arispen.itch.io/bns)*, micro RPG based on *Roll For Shoes*. A team of young wannabe adventurers in a small farming village hear the news that a group of orphans from a nearby village have been kidnapped by goblins to mine for treasure in the mountains nearby. Not only do they want to save the day and be celebrated as heroes for rescuing these kids, but they want that sweet reward money. Our heroes can learn anything, but they have no inherent talent. * 🐍 **Adam** (me!) taking adventurers on an old-school treasure hunt in *[Shadowdark](https://www.thearcanelibrary.com/collections/shadowdark-rpg/products/shadowdark-rpg-pdf): Raiders of the Hidden Temple*. A dubious treasure map led your characters deep into the sweltering jungles of Tal-Yool. Now, a ruined temple stands before you. Do you dare enter to claim the fabled Chalice of the Blood Queen said to be guarded by the venomous viperians inside? *** Feel free to ask the organisers any questions you have (here or on our [Discord server](https://tinyurl.com/indie-rpgs-dublin)).

**💝 Personality-Matched Speed Dating for Indianapolis Locals from Home — Real People** Joining means you'll cycle through quick private Zoom rounds with Indianapolis singles matched to you by age and personality, as a skilled host keeps the pace natural. When booking your spot, a two-minute quiz captures your personality — your personality profile from that quiz to pair you with compatible Indianapolis locals, meaning your rounds are curated and not random. When it is all over, we disclose mutual matches quietly — keeping your selections private otherwise — and what happens next is entirely up to you. **Select your age group to secure your place:** - **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=532.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Indianapolis&groupurlname=club-for-serious-connections-day-trips&ar=18-32&face_v=4.0) - **Ages 30-46** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=532.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Indianapolis&groupurlname=club-for-serious-connections-day-trips&ar=30-46&face_v=4.0) - **Ages 40-58** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=532.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Indianapolis&groupurlname=club-for-serious-connections-day-trips&ar=40-58&face_v=4.0) - **Ages 55+** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=532.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Indianapolis&groupurlname=club-for-serious-connections-day-trips&ar=55+&face_v=4.0) **⚠️ Spot not held yet:** An rsvp on this page is not a confirmed spot, so register through the age group link, complete the form, and take the two-minute personality quiz — numbers are intentionally limited so register early, and the quiz plus registration together hold your place. --- **Who it is for:** - Daters within Indianapolis getting away from profiles that never convert to actual dates and need a better way to meet people. - Anyone at all around Indianapolis finished with matches that fade out before meeting and want actual face-to-face conversation. - Members near Indianapolis getting away from swiping left and right with no results and are ready for something that feels natural. - Those in Indianapolis finished with digital dating that never converts to anything real and are serious about meeting someone. **Here is the format** 1. **Find your age group** – by using the link for your bracket above, then take the brief quiz, as the quiz plus registration is what counts. 2. **Hop on** – at the event start by opening your Zoom link, no download is needed since it works in any browser, and a friendly host manages everything once you are on. 3. **Connect** – back-to-back private Zoom rounds with Indianapolis locals selected for your age group, while a host ensures every round feels natural, as each round is with a Indianapolis local matched to your profile. 4. **Discover your matches** – mutual connections are confirmed and sent after the session, with contact info only shared when both of you said yes, and the outcome is yours to take forward at your leisure. **Details** - **Format:** Online and live on a live Zoom call running short speed dating rounds throughout, matched by quiz results and age at every round. - **Where:** All online — from your laptop or mobile device, no special equipment — just a device with a camera and internet, and you can join from your couch or anywhere else that works. - **Host:** A dedicated host keeps everything on track and stress-free throughout, which takes all pressure off the format entirely — everything from round one to the final match is handled. - **Vibe:** Warm video date rounds with Indianapolis people who actually turned up, and you leave with more energy than you arrived with. - **Duration:** You are looking at about an hour give or take including the welcome, and most people say it flies by. ⭐ *"Great evening — the matching was spot on"* – Indianapolis local, first event --- ✨ Short rounds with real Indianapolis locals — select your bracket and register and the evening takes care of itself tonight. The evening starts the moment you register. 🎯 ✨
