Tabletop Tuesday: Fiddle while you game! (7/18)

You think July in Palatine is hot? Try July in ancient Rome! July 18th, 64AD marks the beginning of the great fire of Rome, during which Nero famously ‘fiddled.’ With their high-powered air con, our game night won’t be so hot, but why not commemorate the conflagration with a game of Fire Tower or Flashpoint Fire Rescue or something about ancient Rome? No matter what you want to play, join us at Nellies from 6pm-11pm on July 18th for some great gaming, won’t you?

Tabletop Tuesday: The 23 Enigma (5/23)

When I was a kid, my buddy Nate was a little obsessed with the number 23. He called it his favorite number, and would point it out every time it appeared. I’ve since learned that 23 has significance in some occult and mystical literary works; in these works, 23 is considered lucky, unlucky, sinister, strange, sacred to the goddess Eris, or sacred to the unholy gods of the Cthulhu Mythos. This confluence of ideas, sometimes called the “23 Enigma” came to mind as I noticed that tomorrow is May 23rd. So, barring any eikositriophobia in your party, venture out to Nellies from 6pm-11pm to join us for games and whatever other mysteries the evening shall reveal!
