Get out the glitter, turn up the music, and come along on a pop-powered, nostalgia fueled ride into the world of Holomatixx! In this new game from Nerdy City, you and your friends were normal teens, until you were gifted with New Wave Rock Star Alter Egos by the musical Intelligence, Rhapsody. Now you can use the outrageous powers of the Videosphere and your own heart to inspire the world, fight against the riotous Shriekers and the alien Compellers, and still try to make it to history class on time!  One thing’s for sure, it’s gonna be Totally Audacious!

Coming soon to Kickstarter, Holomatixx: A New Wave Order is a table-top roleplaying game set in Nerdy City’s Radical Shadows universe, where the toys and cartoons of the 80’s come to life! Discover your holographic pop star Persona and grow together as a band, in an adventure pulled straight from the toy store’s Pink Aisle. Holomatixx is directly inspired by Jem and the Holograms, Barbie and the Rockers, Kidd Video, and MTV itself!

Here's a taste of what Holomatixx brings to Center Stage:
  • Live out your Rockstar fantasies! The Holomatic Persona gives your normal teen both perfect pitch and a perfect disguise. Who needs a mask when you have the wildest of 80s fashions?
  • Develop your Band! From deciding on a name, to filling out your setlist, you and your friends will work together to give the Band a life of its own, with its own character sheet. Be careful though, band drama is as much a part of pop life as hairspray…
  • Make real-live Music Videos! Using your Vibes, Riffs and Quirks, your characters will be able to bring the crazy visuals and bizarre logic of 80s MTV to life!
  • Fight for Freedom of Expression! From parasitic alien capitalists, to half-possessed shock acts, to that history test on Friday, your character has a lot to overcome for a teen!
  • Explore the Videosphere! A dimension created from Earth's ever-increasing media output, the “Flipside” is a kaleidoscopic expanse where music and video have formed their own ecosystem. As Holomatixx, your character can access this brave new world, the source of your sense-altering powers!

Holomatixx uses the Omnisystem; Nerdy City’s own narrative-focused system using six-sided dice and minimal stats. Players and GM will decide together on the Relationship Setting, which helps customize the tone of your game anywhere from light and bubbly, to dark and dramatic. Once that's all completed, it's Showtime!!!
