I think this may be my personal favorite of the Gig images, IYKYK. Besides, there’s an increasing number of reasons to be loud, these days. Get Loud!

Yet more Gig art from Amber Robyn for Holomatixx, this time from The Brass! This piece has big β€œI can hear this picture” energy to me; I’m getting Careless Whisper by Wham. What’s it playing for you?

An excellent guess! The answer is Changeling: The Dreaming; although technically it should be Werewolf: The Apocalypse. Two nerds in the nineties, met over a copy of The Book of the Wyrm, and the rest is history…and a whole lot of games ❀️

Four games that influenced us as designers and as people- it is the fault of one of these games that the partnership behind Nerdy City met in the first place. Take a guess which one!

New year, new dice bag! Used up some scraps to give the math rocks room to breathe, may 2025 continue as productive.

Ran a great game of RPG Nasty at our local game store this weekend! 99 Dead Balloons, or Jonathan’s Terrible Day took place at a swamp-side summer camp- only one made it out alive…or did she?? Bloody one-shot fun!
