Goblin Quest: When The Goblins Stole Christmas



It’s not easy being a goblin. You have barely been born from the Slime Pit that you are already being thrown in the front line in the service of the Dark Lord, with very little awareness of your surroundings, of what is at stake, or even of yourself, really. Not that this has ever stopped a goblin before: your life is likely to be brief and end violently, so clearly the only thing is doing something memorable with it.


The goblins in this adventure have entered the world at a very special time. Snows covers the land, bells chime, goodwill abounds and the Dark Lord has decided it’s time to do something about it.


The goblins will have to steal Christmas.


They don’t know what Christmas is, of course, but that hardly matter.


In this game you will control a clutch of five goblins with their own dreams, aspirations, and nonsensical personalities within a world full of unexpected, and frequently deadly, perils. Lean into the absurdity, accept the fleeting nature of goblin life, and weave a tale of heroism, misfortune, and whimsical nonsense.


PRE-GENS PROVIDED?: 

 Building the goblins is part of the fun of the game. Blank goblin sheets will be provided and a character building session will be included at the beginning.

CONTENT WARNINGS: 

This is a comedy game with occasionally dark humour. Slapstick violence and death are extremely frequent. Specific trigger warnings include blood, foul language, and institutionalised mistreatment of goblins.



PLEASE NOTE: This session will begin promptly at 6:30PM. If you arrive later than this, we may not be able to seat you at a table. 

  • When you arrive, please head to the bar in the Apothecary to check in! We suggest arriving 15 minutes before the ticketed start time to ensure you have time to grab a drink and settle in.

      Genuinely didn't know what to expect from this event other than a night of dressing up as a vampire and drinking cocktails... But it was so much better than that! The community that The Arcanist's Tavern has built are so kind and accepting welcoming my craziness without a second thought. I'm usually terrified to dance, but the dance teachers were supportive and made all those worries go away - I even went back to dance another time! But one of the major highlights for me was the social deduction game we played. I was expecting we'd get in to groups and do some werewolf or coup or those types of board games about spotting people lying etc. but no, this was a full immersive experience. The organisers crafted a brilliant story and kept everyone's attention throughout. They told us there was a murder of an ancient vampire and even got 6 random people there to role play and act as one of the 6 suspects. Everyone else had to go around questioning them and trying to piece together the story with little dribbles of clues that the organisers left us. I was able to pretend I was a vampire detective and when the suspect was revealed and voted out I felt so validated for putting all the clues together. Genuinely how I want to spend every Halloween or spooky Holiday from now on!
