Under the Table — A Chicago Mafia LARP
About This Event
A 1930s Prohibition-era intrigue game about loyalty, power, and secrets, where every conversation could make or break an alliance.
Under the Table is a sandbox-style game where there’s no winning , consider ‘failing forward’ and making big interesting choices in order to make this little slice of old School Chicago sparkle.
There isn’t one single plot to follow; instead, there are webs of secrets, debts, romances, rivalries, and ambitions waiting for you to pull on them. You’ll decide what kind of story unfolds: vendettas, betrayals, power grabs, messy romances, or all of the above.
Costumes recommended! Take pictures in our photo booth.

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

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
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
