NUELOW Games: Tariff free since 2011, tariff free now!

Are you worried that tariffs imposed by the Donald Trump are going to make the prices of your favorite games, comics, and books skyrocket, because they are primarily manufactured some place outside the U.S.? Well, we are here to put your mind at ease with alternatives... 

If the tariffs and the additional expense they bring worry you, and if you don't want your fun-time to cost more than is reasonable, you should check out NUELOW Games! Don't let the Bad Orange Man pick your pocket! Get your RPG material, comics, and fiction from NUELOW Games! No tariffs now, no tariffs since 2011, no tariffs ever! Click here to see the 300+ TARIFF FREE offerings!

If that sounds overwhelming, or you like games but not comics, or you like comics but not pages and pages of non-illustrated stories (also known as short stories and novellas), of if you just want to peruse art collections and RPG material, then use these links for more narrowly focused listings of what NUELOW Games has to offer.

DriveThru Comics for comics anthologies that also contain game material and fiction.

DriveThru Fiction for fiction anthologies and novelettes, some of which also contain game material and/or comics, bit most of which do not.

DriveThru Cards where you'll find the rules for a couple card games we developed. Maybe someday, we'll actually make the cards instead of giving you the play-test experience by making you use a normal deck of cards to play.

There are over 350 different offerings available from NUELOW Games, so it's likely that you'll find one or two items that you think will be worth your time... especially if you take the low, low tariff-free prices!

But don't take our word for it. The Donald himself knows the score.

Something's afoot...

 She just went tiptoeing (although not exactly quietly) across the lobby outside our offices. Where is she going?

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month

Here's a little something from Dutch cartoonist Peter van Straaten:

(English translation by Steve Miller)

Whether you think you're in love or not, when the partner says "no" or otherwise rebuffs you're sexual advances, stop. Back off. Put your pants back on and your hands in the pockets. If you keep going, you're committing sexual assault (at least) or even rape (at worst).

Happy birthday to Sylvie Guillem

Today is the 60th birthday of celebrated French dancer Sylvie Guillem.

At a young age, Guillem proved herself as a talented gymnast, but when she was 11 her true talent--dancing--was noted by her parents and by famed ballerina and dance instructor Claude Bessy. Although Guillem stated that she initially hated dancing and preferred gymnastics, she soon discovered that she loved performing for the public and by the age of 16, she was locked into a trajectory of success and international celebrity.

Guillem rose swiftly through the ranks of performers, and she was soon dancing the lead roles in every production she had a part in. During the 1980s and into the early 1990s, she was the principal dancer for renowned companies such as the Paris Opera Ballet and the Royal Ballet in London. 

 

By the mid-1990s, at the height of her fame as a ballerina, Guillem turned her talent toward modern dance, and her reputation as one of the world's greatest dancers only continued to grow.

Shortly after her 50th birthday, Guillem embarked on a dance tour that would see her perform on stages from Great Britain to Japan. Then, in November of 2015, she retired from dancing and public life.
