Valor Infinity: The Role-Playing Game
A distress signal pierces the Pendulum System. Its source is Evander, an ancient world circled by a lost supercity. Pioneers, opportunists and the daring answer the call.
Eternity is not the limit. It's the beginning.
Escape Da Box
A card game of savage survival. You're a goblin trapped in da box with your rivals. Be the last one standing and escape.

Select an image to enlargeEscape Da Box
Savage survival for goblins. Outlast your rivals, be the last one standing, and Escape Da Box.
Everyone picks a goblin Player card (fight for your favorite if you must). Each goblin tracks three attributes from 1 to 21: Guts (courage), Moxie (smarts) and Spunk (zest for living). Shuffle the deck and draw seven.
Drop any attribute to zero and you're out. Push one past 21 and your goblin explodes (act it out, loudly). You get to finish your turn first, and every goblin left takes damage equal to how far you went over.
On your Action turn, play whatever cards you like, then pass to the left. When someone targets you, react: counter each card with a Defense, Gadget or Critter. Critters can crash in at any moment for a Chaotic turn.
Refill to seven at the start of your turn, and never hold more than seven. Played cards go into the Meat Grinder. Discard freely, but an empty hand leaves you wide open.
Running Out of Time
Honest conversations about living with cancer and long-term disability: how it changes us, and what still becomes possible.
Hear from cancer survivors and veterans who've navigated VA healthcare, the hobbies that keep us afloat, and whatever sparks our curiosity along the way. In the fight, a survivor, a disabled veteran, or just looking for community? You're not alone.

We Might Be Robots
A passion project of Rob Hoffman, our Chief AI Officer, made to show what happens when human artists and AI create together: music with soul, and sounds that weren't possible before.
It isn't here to replace human-led music. It opens new doors beside it. Used well, AI gives a voice to people who haven't always had one, and helps thinkers and dreamers bring what's in their heads to life. We think that freedom is worth celebrating.
