May 6th – 12th

Good news! The ROOT expansion pack is fun as heck. We had the delightful experience at Wednesday Games of playing as The Great Duchy, a powerful mole civilization hiding under the feet of the other factions! We were mostly testing that the rules were understandable, which meant a lot of being asked “what do YOU think that means?” but also they pretty much were! The new factions are very straightforward while introducing fun new mechanics!

March 25th – 31st

The Comics N’ More moving party was delightful! Great people showing a lot of support for a great bunch of comix-mongers. We didn’t manage to get any of our silent auction bids, but that just meant that other wonderful folks did! All the money went to help out with the move and we really cannot wait to see the new digs! See the new Comics N’ More at 64 Cottage St., Easthampton MA! Also don’t miss out on their next big party on Free Comic Book Day this May 4th!

March 18th – 24th

LARPers! Big things coming up on the 29th! It’s the start of the Magestry Spring 2019 season! Also we’re really excited about Comics N’ More’s big party on the 24th!

March 11th – 17th

Something important to check out next week! Comics N’ More’s “Move On Up” party! On March 24th at 2:00PM to 4:30PM at Galaxy [60 Main St, Easthampton, Massachusetts 01027]! You can go to a great party to support a great local comic shop! There will be a silent auction too which is great!

Feb 25th – March 3rd

Comics N’ More is moving! They’re going to a better space that is not in a basement, which is a real improvement over basically any basement. We’re sure there are nice basements and all, but generally you want to exist above ground while you do business. There’s just something about having the option to have windows that brightens up a space.

Feb 18th – 24th

Since we haven’t told you to do so in a while, it is a good idea to support excellent local charitable organization The Northampton Survival Center! They do good work providing food to people in need in our community. It’s a terrible thing that anyone in the Valley goes hungry, and it’s good to alleviate it if you can.

July 10th – 16th

The Valley Nerd Watch! Spider-Man: Homecoming was a movie we really liked a lot, and we think we can recommend it pretty wholeheartedly. Dragged a bit in places, but overall our favorite take on Peter Parker as Spider-Man pretty much period in a long time. We also had the absolutely positive addition of a young […]

March 13th – March 19th

The Valley Nerd Watch! Most important thing this week? NERDSummit 2017! It’s great, you’re great, you should head there and be great at a great event.

March 6th – March 12th

The Valley Nerd Watch! So hey here’s a thing we just found out about recently despite ostensibly being a news source: due to a variety of circumstances both unforeseen and ultraforeseen the lovably local game shop co-op Worlds Apart Games is going to cease to exist soon. Like, by the end of March. So that’s […]

August 31st – September 6th
