🎲 OCT '26 RPG: Gamma World (5th Edition)
📜 RULES SYSTEM: Alternity (1st Edition)
💡 NEXT GAME: TBA

If you've ever been curious about playing a Tabletop Role-Playing Game (TTRPG), then this is the group for you! TTRPGs have seen more mainstream acceptance and popularity, thanks in part to Stranger Things and other media. Longer-form "let's play" shows have also become a new phenomena, with some of them being adapted to Netflix series!

OCTOBER: Gamma World (5th Edition)

Gamma World is a post-apocalyptic science fantasy role-playing game in which player characters explore Earth centuries after the collapse of civilization, searching for artifacts from the time before "The Great Upheaval". The setting is chaotic and dangerous and little resembles pre-apocalyptic Earth. The weapons unleashed during the final war were strong enough to alter coastlines, level cities, and leave large areas of land lethally radioactive. These future weapons bathed the surviving life of Earth in unspecified forms of radiation and biochemical agents, producing widespread, permanent mutations among humans, animals, and plants. This has caused mutations such as additional limbs, super-strength, and psychic powers.

Spots are limited! Please see Mikie if you have any questions.

Oct. 24 | Exhibition Opening: National Portrait Beauty Gallery

🗓️ DATE: Saturday, October 24
🕓 WHEN: 4 pm - 6 pm
🧭 WHERE: Studio Route 29
62A Trenton Ave., Frenchtown, NJ

Works by Pratik, Sarina, and Christian are included! Let's support our friends at the exhibition opening on 10/24. Invite your friends and family! Transportation is on your own, but a few spots will be available with staff departing from STG. Please see Rosemary for more information.

EXHIBITION INFORMATION:

Displaying paintings of people has long been a way of demonstrating power. Visit a Western country’s national portrait gallery (or any museum with historical artworks), and you will see pictures of people with power going back centuries — cardinals, dukes, queens, popes, counts, bankers, presidents, and gentry of all sorts.

Over the years, portraiture’s purpose and promise have broadened greatly. Painting and drawing have made their way out into a much wider and more diverse world of brush-holders (and pencil-holders). People are fascinating to people, and so portraiture lives on as a way of holding attention for a while on a friend, a heroine, a family member, a dog, an enemy, a pundit, a star, the self. These pictures might honor, grieve, ridicule, admire, document, play, love.

National Portrait Beauty Gallery offers a collection of portraits made by a coalition of artists working in different contemporary contexts, many of whom work in supported studios for artists with intellectual and developmental disabilities. These studios are places where people are coming together in peership, friendship, and allyship — making care structures that are also structures for opening the shades to let more brilliance into the world. We always have been, and we always will be, people who are connected to other people. It’s beautiful.

This exhibition takes place across two galleries: Studio Route 29’s Beauty Gallery, 62A Trenton Ave., and ArtYard’s Courtyard Gallery, 13 Front St., both in Frenchtown, New Jersey.
