We have some exciting news!!! We decided after a big accumulation of ideas and tester products, that we needed to house all of our gaming geekery in one exclusive spot. Thus Game After Game Home was born!
On the horizon is some brand spanking new 6 by 6 items! Keep your eyes peeled for them!

About a year ago when we first opened our internet doors to the world, I took the lead on ideas for products. I'm one of those people that has rushes of ideas. I am randomly spouting off "You know what would be cool..." to John while I'm totally incoherently yelling from the shower. While I enjoy that kind of thing (I used to be a full time accountant), I have a partner that is quite good with refining my ideas, but I want to make sure that he exercises his creative ideas too. He came up with Critical Hit and D&D dice ornaments.
Critical Hit - 6 by 6 Arts
What does Critical Hit mean? (Wikipedia Link)
John, his sister Erin, Erin's husband and a close family friend "The DM", often played together before I stole him and he moved north to Washington. When you play D&D, you commit to a certain group of people. It's a like a tight gang. Unlike Magic or my beloved FF rpg games that I am personally more familiar with, where you build your decks or skills on your own. There's a shared bond between MTG players but D&D folks take it to the next level.
Custom Critically Missed sign we did for a D&D group who had a member suddenly pass away. This will hang in their game room to remember him.
We recently did the sign "Critically Missed" for someone who had a member of his D&D group pass away suddenly. I thought it was a sweet way to remember one of their own.
We are in full holiday season mode but I just wanted to share how incredibly awesome the handful of players who have contacted us are. Whether it's been custom or readymade pieces the appreciation and love we've received has been so great. Thank you!

Well, I wrote out a great blog post and Comcast crapped out on me and didn't save that amazing post. Ahh, I guess it wasn't meant to be. Alas, I wanted to share what we've been up to lately. While I do wish it was gaming. (I'm personally eagerly awaiting the Final Fantasy 7 remake!!!) But we've been producing new works as well as custom items. Like these large laser cut and engraved chess and game piece wall decor:
Custom Phoenix Shield
Black and White Knights.
They turned out pretty great. They were hand painted and laser cut and engraved. A fairly simple design but really awesome.
Speaking of games...have I mentioned that we have a new Critical Hit design? In addition to our original Script style we now offer our Modern Block style for our Critical Hit signs. Available in ten colors! I'm a little sweet on the red:
Well back to work! We picked up a handful of beautiful reclaimed maple wood sheets that are calling to be laser cut and engraved into something awesome.
Lasers and love (8 bit heart love), Thea
