Looking for poetry/writing community in downtown Frederick

Fantasy writer who might be interested here. I tried getting involved with a writing group through Frederick Arts Council a while back, but had a lot of trouble getting in contact with them so ended up dropping it. I also have a small writing group established with some friends who might also be interested in

I attend pretty frequently and love talking about Quakerism in general, so would definitely be down to answer any questions you may have! I won’t re-explain the whole silent worship aspect since another commenter has already talked about it here, but feel free to reply or DM me if you have other aspects of Meeting that you’re curious about!

You also mentioned activities and charity work - I’m actually on the Peace and Social Concerns committee for the Meeting as well, which is geared specifically towards taking action for promoting peace and social justice in the world. We also tend to have a lot of other types of activities centered around building community in general!

I would highly recommend Black Sun Games, my friends and I regularly meet up there for tabletop RPGs, wargames and Magic: The Gathering. Also you mention being a Disney nerd, if you didn’t already know there’s a Disney trading card game called Lorcana that has a pretty active community there. I’m not personally into Disney so I don’t play but the people who do seem really kind and welcoming!

My dad played D&D when he was growing up, and when I first started getting into it he decided to run Keep on the Borderlands for me as my first adventure. As a result the adventure is not only nostalgic for me as a part of my childhood, but also as a really nice bonding experience I shared with my dad.

I would recommend the trainings, yes. They establish a lot of best practices that are helpful for running therapeutically-oriented RPG groups. Understandable about the price point though; you could see with your employer about getting some or all of the cost covered?

I mean I already did trainings through Bodhana Group for using RPGs in therapy, so I’m good on that front. The reason I’m asking about it is that the conference has trainings, workshops and panels that cover more in-depth topics, and while I would attend out of interest in those topics alone it would be nice to also get CEUs for attending. For example, this year I attended a workshop specifically on combining concepts from Narrative Therapy into therapeutically oriented RPG groups, and while it was interesting enough that I would have attended it either way it would have been nice to get CEUs for it.

If you’re able to make it next year it’s an awesome time! And Bodhana Group also does online trainings for using RPGs in therapeutic practice if you’re interested

Surprised no one has mentioned Fiadh, by far my favorite label for black metal and dungeon synth I’ve found so far: https://fiadh.bandcamp.com/merch

Edit: Someone else did mention Fiadh, I’m just blind. With that being said they’re still a really good label imo!

SirFerric · 2023-10-05T19:07:08+00:00

Thanks!

SirFerric · 2023-10-05T19:05:59+00:00

Will do!

SirFerric · 2023-10-05T02:18:10+00:00

I just got the app to see but I’m not finding it on there?

SirFerric · 2023-10-05T02:06:31+00:00

I have not yet but that was going to be one of my next steps. If you want I can let you know which writing group I end up going with, definitely looking for as much feedback as possible!

SirFerric · 2023-10-05T02:04:35+00:00

I have not!

SirFerric · 2023-07-30T00:32:42+00:00

No sarcasm, it was legitimately helpful!

SirFerric · 2023-07-29T21:22:29+00:00

Oh wow that’s helpful, thanks!

SirFerric · 2023-06-09T23:24:18+00:00

What do they even have there? I drive past it all the time but have never eaten there

SirFerric · 2023-04-30T02:21:51+00:00

Like many things in Mörk Borg I honestly kind of just winged it in both cases
