A Family Exploring the World of Fandom Together
Of course, Nola Nerd Couple are huge Star Wars fans. We love everything Star Wars, including the prequels. We love the movies, the music, the comic books, and on and on. We love going to Star Wars Celebration and meeting people Stars Wars related at every Comic Con we attend.
Earlier in the week we posted about renewing our love for Star Wars Destiny. We played a few times at Star Wars Celebration at the Fantasy Flight Games booth and decided to buy some new packs. Here is what we got: We really can’t wait to play with these new…
There Was an Awakening A few years ago, Mrs. Nola Nerd sister (Dina) told us about Star Wars Destiny. It is a card and dice game about our favorite franchise. We resisted at first, but Mrs. Nola Nerd’s other sister (Cara) and her husband (Darin) became fanatics about it. Then…
