Silent Book Club: Solo RPGs & Choose-Your-Own-Adventure

6:00 PM • Wednesday, November 4, 2026BeermiscuousFree

Grab that solo RPG, journalling game, or Choose Your Own Adventure book you've been meaning to get around to actually playing (or pick up a new one at Goblin Market beforehand!) and meet us at Beermiscuous for a more social solo-gaming experience. We'll also bring a selection of games from our library with us for you to borrow. Like most silent book clubs, there will be time before and after to chat and mingle. Get there at 5:30 to say hi and get yourself a drink, then at 6 we'll have a dedicated hour of silent gaming.

Trans Occultist Meetup

7:00 PM • Thursday, November 5, 2026Goblin MarketFree

This is a place for trans occultists of all traditions to share experiences and knowledge with one another. Pagans, witches, chaotes, Luciferians, esoteric Christans, Thelemites, African Diaspora practitioners, and everybody else. If you practice magick and consider yourself some sort of non-cisgender, you are welcome. You are also welcome if you are just questioning your gender, and if you are merely magickally curious. Do not worry about not being trans enough or magickal enough. First Thursday of each month, 7pm-10pm
