More than twenty years ago, Dead Gentlemen Productions met Aaron Williams, the creator of Nodwick, at the Gen Con Indy gaming convention. In 2008, Nodwick made a historic live-action cameo in the cult comedy The Gamers: Dorkness Rising.

After the movie, it was only natural that Aaron and the Gamers team would eventually collaborate on a series of Nodwick strips set in the world of The Gamers. Originally released as digital Patreon rewards, Aaron's entire run of The Gamers: Nodwick's Tale is now available for the first time in a deluxe hardcover edition, as well as a complete PDF.

Nodwick's Tale tells a crucial part of the story that began in The Gamers: Hands of Fate, when the fantasy characters and their players swapped places, and in The Gamers: The Series, when Magellan discovered that his daughter Princess had been captured by The Shadow.

Now, Princess and Nodwick must navigate The Shadow's demands as they serve in his castle, go on outrageous quests, and eventually uncover The Shadow's most devious plot.

The end of this adventure ties directly into ZOE's forthcoming The Gamers: Attack of the Pwns movie, releasing in 2027!

This flash campaign, for BackerKit's Printopia 2026, is ready to go to print!

Following completion of Printopia, we'll send surveys shortly after funds clear (typically two weeks). Shipping and handling will be charged in the surveys following the campaign, and will commence from the ZOE warehouse in Seattle. We ship (almost) anywhere in the world and can accommodate pre-paid duties for most destinations, including the UK and the EU.

It typically takes 2-3 months for manufacturing and freight, so we expect fulfillment to begin in early 2027.
