I, Nerd

Max Sydney Smith

4.9/5 (29108 ratings)

Description:Robin plays the Game in a club on the top floor of a converted warehouse. Every week Robin’s Halflings do table top battle against Daemons, Dwarves, Elves, Orcs, Humans and the forces of Undead. And every week he loses.But when the twin who collects Elves announces the club is closing and their weekly games night is on the verge of being lost forever, the seven friends decide to enter the National Masters Tournament and so immortalise the club name in the national rankings.Will Robin overcome his lifelong losing streak and how much is he prepared to risk to lead his Halfling army to victory?Set against the backdrop of a sub-culture under threat, this sharp-edged story-in-miniature is an ode to friendships and the secret languages that bind them."I, Nerd is as fascinating a tour through a niche pastime as any sports novel or work of historical fiction, but with the universal appeal of a story about isolation, friendship and the long tail of adolescence. Some of its characters focus on their fantasy wargame’s technical aspects they call ‘crunch’, others on its lore they call ‘fluff’. In this novelette Max Sydney Smith shows he’s a master of both: the crunch of plot mechanics and the fluff of vivid characters and their sad sweet backstories. I, Nerd plays like a dream." – Mazin Saleem, author of The PrickWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
