I really like the look of the old-school sci-fi vibes of the cover.
Thanks, I love it too - the font and design are thanks to the excellent Dai Shugars. I'm lucky to have him on board for this one.
An Indiana Jones-esque adventure to the tune of Mothership? Sign me up!
Thank you Mr. McFin, looking forward to having you on the team!
Hi there!
I found Nirvana on Fire at Phantasm gaming convention and I was very impressed.
My name is Gary and I'm the Director of RPG for BreakoutCon. We're the largest tabletop exclusive convention in Canada, and we welcomed more than 1700 unique attendees in 2024, up from 1400 in 2023 - we're expecting a similar jump this coming year. Our convention is home to one of the largest Indie RPG tracks around - we're passionate about introducing our con-goers to new games and experiences, and I'm very much hoping you'll join us!
We're always looking for opportunities to introduce new games and new guests and I think your games will be a great fit.
If you're looking to learn more about our convention you can do so here: https://www.breakoutcon.com/
I can't find a way to reach out directly, would you let me know if you're interested?
