Our Events
Nerd|Otaku is a community led organization. Events and gatherings are core to our ethos and an integral part of our existence, so the current limitation on social gatherings has temporarily moved all our events online where our primary platform is our Discord server. Please feel free to join and participate in lively discussions, casual gaming sessions, fun trivia, and other online events. We look forward to meeting you there!
