Over the past few years, interest and exposure to sword and sorcery role playing games
(and in particular Dungeons and Dragons / D&D) has dramatically increased. From The Big Bang Theory to Stranger Things to Game of Thrones to most recently The Witcher, fantasy role playing games have re-entered the mainstream consciousness. Compounding
this trend, many people started seeking out additional forms of entertainment with
the onset of the Covid-19 outbreak. But picking up a role playing game can be intimidating
for those new and unfamiliar to them. Role Playing games truly are for everyone, and
this event will help introduce these marvelous forms of gaming entertainment to the
ATU faculty and staff. This event will start by talking briefly about role playing
games, how to play them virtually / online (and eventually face-to-face), and what
you need to get started playing. At least half the time for this event will be allotted
for answering any questions you might have about these games.
By day, Christopher Housenick, is an Assistant Professor of Political Science in the
College of Arts and Humanities. By night, he organizes a biweekly Dungeons and Dragons
group that fights orcs, trolls, and giants while saving the world, one die roll at
a time.

Join Nate for a virtual bartending course. The course will include a brief history
of bartending/mixology, discuss bar basics and how to stock your home bar, mix a classic
cocktail, and mix a more modern cocktail using advanced techniques. All you need for
the course is vodka and another spirit of your choice, sour mix (see included recipe
if you would like to make your own, which is recommended!), a few sprigs of mint and
basil, and blueberries and/or raspberries. Dust off your cocktail shaker set, jiggers,
muddler, and strainer. If you do not have these items on hand, Nate will show you
some alternative ways to mix the cocktails with other items in your kitchen.
Sour Mix Recipe: 1 cup sugar, 1 cup warm water, 1 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice,
1 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
Tip: If you buy the bulk bag of lemons/limes from the grocery store, juice the entire
bag for this recipe. It may be over 1 cup, but you can always add more simple syrup
if you prefer a sweeter flavor.
To make the simple syrup, bring the water to a low boil and add the sugar. Turn off
the heat and stir until completely melted. Add the syrup to your pitcher/bottle/pouring
vessel, then add the lemon and lime juice. Stir until combined. For best flavor and
results, chill for several hours or overnight.

To combat isolation and get to know each other in a relaxed setting, let's gather
virtually. The theme of this gathering is "What's a cool object in your house?" Pick
one unique/weird/interesting thing you own (doesn't need to be grand) to "show and
tell."
