Year: 2016

  • Ingenium returns

    Over two years ago, we ran a Kickstarter for the second edition of Ingenium. Despite clearing over six thousand dollars, it failed to meet its funding goal. We discussed options.

We’ll be giving you information on our upcoming projects, our convention schedule for the rest of 2016, and even news on…
