This Week At Goblin Brain

Verified from public schedule sources

What You'll Find

Goblin Brain offers a chainmail class that sells out quickly, providing hands-on crafting instruction beyond traditional miniature gaming
The store hosts regular Commander pods most weekends, establishing it as a consistent community gathering point for competitive Magic: The Gathering play
Goblin Brain actively hosts furry and cosplay community events alongside gaming, creating an explicitly inclusive safe space for marginalized hobbyist communities

Tips From Regulars

First Time Here

New to miniature gaming? Try their trial games and intro sessions to learn before committing to a full army - they're welcoming to beginners and create a safe, judgment-free space

Best Time To Visit

Most weekends feature Commander pods (typically 5-6 players), making Saturday/Sunday the best times to find pickup games and meet the gaming community

Pro Tip

Staff (Nathan and Ben) are genuinely knowledgeable and helpful - ask them about hard-to-find items, army building advice, or product recommendations; they'll go out of their way to help

What To Expect

Beyond just 40K, they stock multiple gaming systems (Warhammer 40K, MTG, D&D, Pokémon) with good selection of singles and accessories, plus they offer chain mail and jewelry crafting classes
