Indiemeet's Monthly Meetup

Help support the group with a tip: [https://ko-fi.com/indierpg](https://ko-fi.com/indierpg)! This is Indiemeet's monthly meetup. Come along for 13:30 and meet folk. At 14:00 we start pitching games. Everyone who's brought a game to run gives a short pitch: they say what it's like, how many players it can take and whether it has a GM or not. Then we allocate people to games and play them. We love people who pitch games, so please do come with something you'd like to run. If you'd like to pitch a game, you'll need to include: number of players, type of game (GMed or GM-less), and a brief blurb of the game. If it's your first time at Indiemeet, we'll ask what you want to play and try to make sure it runs! We believe that gaming is for all: Indiemeet believes in providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of participants in any form. We believe that gaming is for everyone, regardless of who you are or your level of experience.

Fictions by Jorge Luis Borges

Join us as we discuss Fictions by Jorge Luis Borges over a pint (or several...)! New members are always welcome. **Description:** The most popular anthology of Jorge Luis Borges's short stories, Fictions is a wildly original and influential collection of fantastic tales. Jorge Luis Borges's Fictions introduced an entirely new voice into world literature. It is here that we find the astonishing accounts of 'Funes the Memorious', the man who can forget nothing; 'Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote', who recreates Miguel de Cervantes's epic word-for-word; a society run on the basis of an all-encompassing game of chance in 'The Lottery in Babylon'; the mysterious world of 'Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius' which seems to be supplanting our own ; and the 'Library of Babel', which contains every possible book in the whole universe. Here too are the philosophical detective stories and the haunting tales of Irish revolutionaries, gaucho knife fights and dreams within dreams which proved so influential (and yet impossible to imitate). This collection was eventually to bring Borges international fame; over fifty years later, it remains endlessly intriguing. Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. A poet, critic and short story writer, he received numerous awards for his work including the 1961 International Publisher's Prize (shared with Samuel Beckett). He has a reasonable claim, along with Kafka and Joyce, to be one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. 'One of the most memorable artists of our age' Mario Vargas Llosa

October AniSocial @ KERB Social Club

**Join our Discord for smaller weekly events and to chat with other London Anime Meetup members**: [https://discord.gg/JmNdncgkyf](https://discord.gg/JmNdncgkyf) Join us for a fun evening filled with discussions about the latest anime and manga releases after work with a drink. Whether you're a seasonal or old school viewer, this is the perfect opportunity to connect with fellow enthusiasts, share recommendations, and maybe even discover a new favourite series. You just need to bring yourself and some ID (over 18s only as it is a pub). Look forward to seeing you there!

AnimanJapan Anime & Manga Club!

If you love anime & manga then please join us for our weekly meetups, where we basically just sit, chat and read anime & manga! We usually sit in the back of the pub. If the weather is nice we may sit outside at the back of the pub, or even outside on the downstairs floor. In this meetup, you can BYOM (bring your own manga) or read one from the selection we will bring. See this as an opportunity to discover, recommend or simply enjoy Japanese comics & anime with like-minded people! Note: This is not a book club. Also, the TCR bar is kind enough to allow us to use their space to host this meetup, and has asked if possible for attendees to support the venue by purchasing a drink or food while you're there. Please don't bring your own food or drink to consume at the venue, as the venue does not allow this!

AniManJa Board Games Club!

**Please note~ RSVP will open one week before each event. This is to avoid no shows. If you are unable to attend please mark yourself as ‘not going’ so someone else can attend in your place. Thank you. ** It's a board games club with a twist! We have a variety of games to play as well as the usual titles and favourites like Secret Hitler, Exploding Kittens and Uno so come on down if this sounds like fun to you! The games will be easy to understand as well, so don't worry about your level of board game experience! And remember to BYOBG (bring your own board games) if you have any that you would like to share :) We will meet inside TCR Bar for around 1pm. We will be seated in the boths at the back of the bar. Food and drinks are available from the bar. It would really help the venue if you could make a small purchase from the bar. Thank you.

Imperial College Late: Robots!

Sounds absolutely fascinating, a late evening about robotics at Imperial College: "At Imperial Lates: Robots, you can get hands-on with all things robots, tech and AI at this free evening event for adults. Where will robotics go in the next ten years, and what does intelligence mean in our ever changing world?" (description continued below). I am asking for £3.50 attendance fee to go towards Meetup organiser costs. Please pay me in exact change when you get to our meeting point. Thank you. We'll go for a drink afterwards. Continued: "How would you feel about a robot doing surgery on you? Put your skills to the test by controlling a robotic arm to play our version of the classic game, Operation. Then get crafty and design your own soft, squishy body-bot to take home, inspired by flexible fibre-bots that can navigate inside the human body. See if you or your friends are faster than a machine in a pipetting race, then watch robots play football where every pass, tackle and shot is decided in real time by AI. Check out the mini droid powered by plants, before you step behind-the-scenes in a tour of the labs and meet Imperial’s robotic sea turtle. Then head to the bar, grab a drink and soak in the music from the DJ. With hands‑on activities, fascinating talks, real robots and inspiring research at every turn, you can indulge your creativity and curiosity by learning all about the research driving the technologies of tomorrow. Whether you’re looking to discuss the future of robotics with the people on the cutting-edge, or wanting a sociable night with science, music and conversation, this Lates has it all."
