Hey, wanna support some dope black designers and get some dope games in return? Then you wanna pre-order the Griot Anthology. Ashcan coming next week! thoughtcrimegames.itch.io/griot-anthol...

We love links for the red string wall!

Come on and dare to be stupid with us this weekend in Morristown, NJ for Double Exposure’s Dreamation! Meet a bloody fate in RPG Nasty, or do a deep dive into the Flipside in Holomatixx!

”Love for the Love Gods is an absolute delight for cozy horror fans such as myself. What better than to make the Perfect Town with your friends…and then make it WEIRD.” - @nerdycity.bsky.social Meggan Jaffe, Nerdy City FOLLOW THE LOVE: shorturl.at/MbEtK

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!

Two down, two to go- if you’re interested in a game with our head writer and forever GM Sean Jaffe, plus checking out an awesome array of games and books (including ours), head to @dungeonbooks.bsky.social in Jersey City!

Iiii don’t wanna work, I want to bang on the drum all day… fabulous art coming in for your Holomatixx Gigs!

This next month at Jersey City’s @dungeonbooks.bsky.social, join our own Forever GM Sean Jaffe in exploring the world of vintage RPGs!

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

Speeding through the week towards PaxU! Can’t wait to meet lots of new people; if you want to find us, we’ll be at the IGDN booth, 19B Hall D, 10-2 Saturday and Sunday morning. Stop on by and say hi!

Next weekend we’re going to be in robot heaven; running character creation and game demos for Commandroids! Room number and times tba, stop by for some con-exclusive swag and an awesome indie ttrpg!

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!

Looks like it’s time to brush up that posting schedule, huh. Hello all, we’re an indie TTRPG writing and publishing collective! Our games balance nostalgia, whimsy, and horror with our own easy system: check out ReMemorex, RPG Nasty, or Commandroids today!

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.

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!

THE FINAL DAY!!! With your help, we FUNDED, but there’s some tantalizingly close stretch goals in sight, plus there’s new add-ons to customize your pledge! Get while the getting is good, Rockers!

Getting down to the Final Countdown, we’re so close! Help us keep the music alive!

Hey look it’s us!

Heading out to Origins this week, gonna be running a bunch of Holomatixx! Who will I see there?

And we are live!

One day til Launch!! Getting ready for Holomatixx to hit the stage!

Hi new bluesky friends! Out here posting about games and all. Hopefully a little more present now that the day job is just about over for the summer. More to come soon!

It’s the opening act!! Holomatixx: A New Wave Order has a fresh new landing page for you to check out. Follow along as this outrageous 80s Pop Magic world of secret rockstars gets ready for its debut! www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

HEY THERE SPORTSBOTS! Exciting game today with the Turbo Foxes vs the Kremzoids! We’ve got a moment before the players take the field though, so a question for all you out there in medialand; have you ever made up an in-universe game inside your game? Tell us all about it! #ttrpg #gamedev

Hey guess where 1/3 of Nerdy City is gonna be this weekend?? With our friends @accidentalcyclops.bsky.social on their streaming game of The Real Thing!!

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!

Hey, who’s got several sets of thumbs and is gonna be at Dreamation this weekend?? It’s Nerdy City, and we’ll be running Holomatixx and Rememorex, Friday and Saturday. Come on by and say hi!

Oh yes, Bluesky! That platform we keep meaning to post upon. 2023 ended with a bang of illness, and 2024 so far has been mightily busy, but there’s fun stuff ahead so keep an eye out for more! It’ll be…

What a hecking week. But we’re on our way to Pax Unplugged, hope to see some of you nerds there!

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 !)

Who are we seeing at Metatopia and PaxU this year??

Anyone else think of editing as word punching? No? Or occasionally as word smushing.

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

Yeah, I'm going to keep talking about this! Because it's cool as fuck! Help a bunch of cool queer & trans ppl make a bunch of cool pins to add to our cool pin collection!
