Book Club

Join us for this month’s graphic novel Book Club! This month’s discussion topic is the graphic novel adaptation of Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief!

You can participate ONLINE! Click the button below to go to a virtual meeting.

Mythological monsters and the gods of Mount Olympus seem to be walking out of the pages of twelve-year-old Percy Jackson's textbooks and into his life. And worse, he's angered a few of them. Zeus's master lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect. Now, he and his friends have just ten days to find and return Zeus's stolen property and bring peace to a warring Mount Olympus.

Series creator Rick Riordan joins forces with three of the biggest names in the comic book industry to tell the story of a boy who must unravel a treachery more powerful than the gods themselves. It's the perfect introduction to the series and to Greek mythology.

Wargaming Club: Kill Team + 40k

Join us for Wargaming! We’re playing Kill Team and Warhammer 40k!

This event is drop in and beginner friendly; rules will be taught. Bring your own armies or borrow one from the host! Or, just come chat wargames with other fans.

Due to the success of this event, we’re going to Twice Monthly! Join us again on July 26th.

Want to stay informed about wargaming events on the Southside? Check out the Chicago South Side Skirmish Boardgames & Wargames Discord Server.

interested in other wargames?

We plan to hold more miniature wargaming events in the future, including but not limited to Games Workshop products. So, this would be a great event to attend (even if you’re not into Kill Team) so that we can talk as a community about what events we’d like to see on the schedule.

Feel Free to contact John (the First Aid Gaming Coordinator) with any questions. Email him at firstaidchicago@gmail.com
