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:** * 🧑‍🚀 **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)).

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!
