WeMadeThisUp are two friends who have been creating stories together for a long time and who are currently in the process of revamping their website. But you can still visit their site for a long list of free stories.
ZwodderZA
I’m a white South African who grew up gay and nerdy in a small town; today I find nerdy shit to obsess about all the time. I joined my first tabletop roleplaying game in my 20s and I’ve been hooked ever since. I write and edit for a living, but in my free time I blog about boardgames, RPGs, crafting, the creative or gaming-related projects my friends and I are involved in, cool shit that’s happening, various things that I think are great, and things that piss me off. My pet project is a series of posts filled with GMing advice for new players and GMs – people who, like me, came into the hobby late and did not always feel welcome. I also run and play as many RPGs as I possibly can. Social justice iop.

New year, new goals
Apologies for ghosting you. (Also, forgive me if the first post is more introspective than most. It seems that’s becoming a trend for the blog: each year’s first entry seems to be kinda medatative.) I didn’t mean to disappear, promise. Turns...

Interlude: The Benefit of Hindsight
Last week I shared some advice about where to find players for your game. Of course, that’s just the first part of finding your group. This week I thought I’d share personal experiences of the potential pitfalls to watch out for once you do get...

ToneDark is the work of Antoine Blackler, who writes short stories and fairy tales when he’s not busy being a stellar web designer (he designed the new look for the NerdVerse blog, which we couldn’t be happier with). You can...
We’re on Twitch!
As the existence of this blog demonstrates, I am prone to collecting obsessions and fascinations with all manner of nerdy stuff. Something that’s been keeping me very busy of late (and contributes to the lack of regular blog updates) is Twitch streaming....
From the Vaults: HorrorFest 2008
Remember how I said that I’ve known Paul and Sonja from the HorrorFest for a long time? Well, here’s proof! The following article was originally posted on channel24.co.za (when they still paid freelancers for articles), in October 2008. I co-wrote...
Designing our new logo
Hooray, NerdVerse has a new logo! It may look simple, but it took two months for this design to come together. To celebrate, I wanted to share some of what went into creating it, including some pictures of the work...
Finding Your Players
AKA Gather Your Party, Part 2 Finding players for your TTRPG group can be its own adventure – one beset by perils, obstacles, and setbacks, with many opportunities to abandon hope along the way. Fortunately, you can always ask your...
