Play Dread on Halloween

\*This is a ticketed event please book your seat here\* https://www.egad.com.au/event-details-registration/stadtowne-a-quiet-town **Stadtowne, 'the Quiet Town', is the perfect destination for a cheap vacation in Southern America!** The pancakes at Danny's taste of rock. The brownies feel mouldy, and the air is warm. School bells drag, forums eat away time, and gas runs low. Something in the woods bites. But in this timeless town where there's "no danger to be had", with beautiful nature strips and its own National Park, any visitor is bound to run into nothing in particular. This horror game surrounds a Peeping Tom lurking around town scaring the townsfolk -- a shadow appearing in windows. As you choose between being tourists, teenagers, and town leaders, decide your destiny with only one thing in the way: a large tower of jenga. Suitable for players who've never played Dread (or any TTRPGs!), this game system is very simple. Instead of dice and character sheets, all we have is the jenga tower. Do something dangerous, you take a block. If the tower falls, you die! Inspired by the Mandela Catalogues, Stranger Things, the X-Files, and Men In Black, this is a horror supernatural oneshot. Safety Tools will be in place such as the X-Card. Trigger Warnings include: \- Violence\, body horror and gore \- Brief Loss of \(specific parts of\) Bodily Autonomy \- Child Endangerment If you'd like to play but you don't want any of these triggers listed to be included, arrangements can easily be made! Feel free to DM @charlottethegreen on Instagram for any questions, queries, thoughts or theories! Run the Stadtowne Oneshot yourself at [charlottethegreen.itch.io](http://charlottethegreen.itch.io).

Play 3-Sided Soccer at Albert Park - mixed - social - all levels - all fitness

3 Teams. 3 Goals. Hexagonal Pitch. A game of alliance and betrayal in equal measure. We are looking for new players and returning players alike to come play a match. Players of any ability, fitness level or background are welcomed - the game is intended to be fun for a Sunday morning rather than super competitive. If you've never played before, that's okay - the rules are as simple as this: * There's no offside - roam where you will * Defend your goal at all costs * No hands (this is soccer-style football after all) Come down for 9:00am, we make some balanced teams and warm up for the match starting at 9:15. Three thirds are played of 25 minutes each so we're usually done by about 11:00am. All fitness and soccer skill levels more than welcome and encouraged! A note regarding junior players: We very much enjoy and encourage junior players to come along and play however please be aware of the following: * As most attendees are adults, all players must be a minimum of 1.5m tall and 13 years of age. Soccer may have incidental contact when contesting a ball, and we would hate for someone small to be injured as a result of running into someone larger than them. * Any players under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a playing parent or guardian. How to find us - We meet on the astroturf pitch near the Baselball and Hockey clubs in Albert Park. The main location we use is called "Dorothy Coleman Field". If we aren't there then there may be a couple of other locations, [as noted on this dynamic map](https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1JdDwV4AOV5e-xP5d56m16-eu29GlnZQ&usp=sharing) \- generally we will follow in number order\.

learn to play Cyberpunk Red

\*This is a ticketed event please book your seat here\* https://www.egad.com.au/event-details-registration/cyberpunk-red-messiah-virus # Cyberpunk Red: Messiah Virus You wake. The City never went to sleep. Roaring and thrashing like some cornered beast, scorched by war and twisted by neglect... someway, somehow Night City rises from her ashes and beckons you back with a chrome and neon finger. This is a place where dreams can be made, and where anything is possible if you can survive on the Edge just long enough. A group of augmented misfits are recruited by an aging gangster trying to prevent an internal schism from escalating into outright war. Should be a simple enough negotiation... except the gang involved is the hyperviolent tech-fetishists of The Maelstrom, and one of their factions claim they have begun hearing the voice of God. Well, a God... Will the characters be able to head off this new conflict before it sets the City on fire? Will they favour the hardened killers of the Maelstrom's old guard or the new zealots I'm their midst? Or is there another way? And do the dead get a say in this? This is Night City choomba. Anything could happen. Players will be provided with premade characters and dice, but would probably benefit from bringing style, attitude and a sensible means of note-taking from home.
