NERVES issue #1
NERVES is an emotional and introspective tabletop role-playing magazine that aims to broaden discussions on other forms of media like film, television or literature by presenting the game as art form in itself with its own set of unique perspectives, critiques from various points of view along analytical articles. It differs significantly from Dragon Magazine which focused solely on mechanics guides, aiming for a more holistic and artistic approach through engaging readers to explore imaginative realms beyond gaming experiences themselves
