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 “I can hear this picture” energy to me; I’m getting Careless Whisper by Wham. What’s it playing for you?

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!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and other Strangeness TTRPG

Going right from Kickstarter to convention means a tired Nerdy City on a Monday, but it was sure good to see our NJ gamers at Dexlite! Now, more coffee.

Nerdy City Inc. @nerdycity.bsky.social · 04/07/2024

And that’s the end of Side One, folks! Since we funded, thanks to you all, we have enabled Late Pledges for another month. Any Stretch Goals we hit during that time, we will honor! Meanwhile, we’ll be at Dexlite in Morristown this weekend, celebrating and running Holomatixx! Come on by!

National GM day! Not a category I would have put myself in for a long time, but being lead on Holomatixx has meant running Holomatixx, and practice apparently makes…well, less panic at least.

Woo con day! It’s the Block that Rocks Morristown, with back to back Holomatixx games. Then tomorrow, Holomatixx in the morning, Dead Mall Dungeon in the afternoon, LobbyCon thereafter! C’mon by!

Metatopia was exactly what the doctor(and the editor, and the developers) ordered for Holomatixx. Much clarity, many boost. Plus amazing personal talks and connections, and playtesting a game that’s knocking some ideas loose for a side dream project (blaming you, @thismaybegraham.bsky.social !)

Combo of surgery recovery, vaccine recovery, and area flooding sounds like time to stay home and edit things that have been put off.
