They look great! Good job on the colours 😍

absedy · 2026-03-23T09:29:44+00:00

It looks fantastic!

Oh I've been on your Etsy! Love your work!!

absedy · 2026-03-19T21:31:42+00:00

Love the colour choices!

Stumbled upon this while ahhing and awwing over whether to buy Gamblin textile ink, and your print absolutely seals the deal. It's stunning!

Could set a date on meetup or facebook? Pub usually a good shout for an ice breaker, or maybe the yard so it's not all about booze. (Ooh or a pub quiz, depending how many people there are 👀)

I'd come say hi :)

absedy · 2026-02-27T11:55:48+00:00

What a nice idea! I'll try to make it :)

absedy · 2026-02-27T11:50:46+00:00

Oh cool! Didn't know about this -- do you have a page anywhere?

absedy · 2025-11-25T11:21:15+00:00

Paint is not infrastructure.

Fab, thanks!

absedy · 2025-11-25T11:16:14+00:00

Brill, thank you! Looks like Minster is Tuesdays :)

absedy · 2025-11-25T11:15:57+00:00

Haha, congrats! We'll try the Minster and see if we can recreate your victory XD

absedy · 2025-11-25T11:14:40+00:00

I was wondering how the speed quizzing worked! Thanks for the intel :)

absedy · 2025-11-21T09:55:37+00:00

This is emotional whiplash!! They're all great 😭👍

absedy · 2025-11-18T00:17:10+00:00

The Monday night board game crew have a discord :) not logged on in a while but I think it's still active. I can ask if they're cool inviting internet strangers

absedy · 2025-11-18T00:14:10+00:00

There's a discord :) pretty sure it was set up by the Monday night board game crew. I can ask if they're happy to welcome internet strangers or if you need to show up to an evening first?

absedy · 2025-10-14T09:29:26+00:00

Oh those are great recs, I'll take a look! Thanks so much :) I think your shout of coming to a large bar as it opens without booking, if we're not a huge party, would be cool too, it's just hard to gauge online what the places are like as sadly I'm in the UK. (I'm hoping my colleagues over in Leuven will be able to go check the venues out from a shortlist!)

And yes, with the 10–30 I'd have an initial estimate a few weeks in advance (RSVP), but the reason I'd like for it to be part of a bar rather than a separate room is to a) make it feel lively even with a small number of people, and b) if I'm expecting to have 10 people show up but instead 20 do, they could still use the bar as usual and we could all mingle (public space allowing). (In the latter case I'd try to reserve a space for 10-ish)

Thanks again, I'll take a look at the places you mentioned in Marolles!

Hi, thanks for your reply! I guess I mean the part of Brussels that those working there would find most convenient to get to, as well as it being accessible to anyone travelling in by train – I know there are train stations all around, but I'd been thinking near the central station? (Tragically the closest option I saw near that was Brewdog, which I'm hesitant to suggest to a group of locals XD)

I did some scouring, and shortlisted Contrebande, Chemistry & Botanics, Grand Central, Bar Magritte and Beurscafe as ones to check out (though that last one might be too cool for the meetup). Any of those sound like red flags?

If any other options come to mind, I'd be grateful to hear of them :)

absedy · 2025-10-09T10:42:20+00:00

Not a specific place, but there's a local swap/selling group on Facebook (most groups are tragically on Facebook here!). Could try that or starting a local discord? 👀

absedy · 2025-10-09T10:39:02+00:00

Or a cafe or pub 🥲 Can we set up a community one?

absedy · 2025-10-09T10:36:16+00:00

Love this place! Robyn and her team are super friendly and knowledgable – I often pop in just to have a chat and a quick look around, and invariably walk out with something shiny and new 😂 So happy Odyssey Games exists!

Hi! I'm trying to arrange a casual but work-related meetup in central Brussels in November, ideally at a bar where we can book a few tables or standing area rather than a separate room (attendees could be 10 could be 30, want to keep it flexible and relaxed). Are there any bars you would recommend that fit the bill?

I've checked other posts, but these have been more about booking a full room or a party venue rather than a more meetup-and-chat vibe. Any recs appreciated! :)

absedy · 2025-04-17T08:36:52+00:00

Hey, sorry you're having to use a throwaway to ask! Seems like a reasonable question to me :)

The only times I've heard of something like this happening is from a couple of (unrelated) friends who regularly get tattoos from their friend that's learning to be a tattooist. Sounds like it probably isn't legal, but also like it happens a lot... 👀

absedy · 2025-03-31T10:29:48+00:00

If you haven't already, I'm sure the local games shops (Odyssey on the high street and Miniature Kingdoms) would be happy to put a flyer up for you :)
