Storytelling Games

Come join us for board games! All are welcome, you don't need to know the games in advance because we'll give rules introductions before starting each game. We have a huge collection, and everyone is welcome to request or bring new games (so long as at least one person knows how to play it!) We have no fees, but please show appreciation for our hosts by ordering food and drink from their menu. We generally start at around 7 and keep going as long as people want to. If you come along later that's fine too. See you there!

Come as you are. Bring your curiosity! The **Arcane RPG Guild UAE** is a community for people who love the craft of tabletop storytelling — the design behind it, the decisions inside it, the worlds that come out of it. You don't need to be an experienced player. You just need to care about good stories. This session we have a full evening lined up. * **👋 Meet & Greet** If it's your first time, welcome. If you're a regular, bring someone new. We open session with informal introductions — a good way to find out who's at the table and what they're working on. * **📰 TTRPG News** What's been happening in the tabletop world? We share releases, announcements, and things worth paying attention to. No prep needed — just bring anything you've noticed. * **🔨 World Forge —** we will discuss full original setting to the table: *ExM:roya* — a hard sci-fi TTRPG about giant mechs, fragile pilots, and a galaxy fractured by a single discovery: matter from outside our universe that releases near-unlimited energy. Whoever controls it controls everything. This isn't a pitch. It's a working session. We look at the setting, the custom system, the design decisions — and the community helps stress-test it. What's working? What questions does it raise? What would you want to explore as a player? * **🌐 Community & Platform Discussion** How do TTRPG communities build and sustain themselves online? We're opening the floor to talk about platforms, tools, and what actually works for groups like ours — locally and across the region. 💰 **Free event** \-\- just grab a coffee or a bite at **Caféine Club** to support the venue hosting us. 🕖 May 14, at 7:00 PM 📍 Caféine Club UAE See you at the table. 🎲

The topic for May is "Ink" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

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 sometimes fill esrly. There is additional parking lot behind the neighboring Mexican restaurant that is free and easy to walk from but it's a bit hidden.
