Buddy’s Bulletin: XXIV, January 12th
Happy New Year friends, it's great to be back!
This is the first Bulletin of the year, and it’s an exciting one. The second Premium Expansion is just around the corner, in fact, Nerdvana is dropping next Tuesday, January 16th.
With the expansion, we’re also dropping a new map, a new character, and 5 new cards FOR FREE!
Get ready to mark your calendar and jump headfirst into Nerdvana next Tuesday!
Ribberto is a dungeon master who enjoys brewing their own kombucha. When they're not running campaigns, they're writing homebrews. At Cash's Corner, they hold sessions ("Homebrew & Home Brew") where they enjoy their one-shots, their latest batch of kombucha, and their favorite menu items from Nancy's kitchen. They have mastered the ability to use their commute time on the subway for meditation and encourage others to do the same.
You have a lovely personality... mind if I borrow it?
Ribberto does not lack personality, in fact, they copy their rival's personality card each round!
Quick Reminder!
We mentioned in a previous post that when Nerdvana releases, the Deluxe Edition Content won't be available to purchase anymore. If you're interested in a great two-for-one deal, please check it out below!
This week's spotlight is on Crovlone who made an amazing Christmas piece that features all our best friends!

Buddy's Bulletin: XXIII, December 22nd
Yo ho all my snow bros, how are you liking Christmas in Friendtown?
There's like, snow and stuff in game now and there's a snowy rooftop map and a new card where you can give your friends presents. If you haven't checked it out, you totally should!
Last Bulletin we psyched you out a little bit and hit you with a "Nerdvana is coming but you ain't seeing it yet, have CHRISTMAS instead!" But we do got a leeeeeettle to show you now!
NYERRRRRRDVANAAAAA
BOOM! Feast your eyes!
He's a pretty cozy lookin' boy, ain't he?
You can also get another little sneak peak at Nerdvana Nonsense if you take a close look at the header for this Bulletin!
Not-Mayor's Message
So the Mayor left to take the rest of the year off, again, and uh, left me again to do this thing. Hope it was okay.
There won't be a Buddy's Bulletin next week, because even the Mayor of Friendtown is nice enough to give his temp cover a bit of time off during the holidays.
But it's been a kinda cool year, right? Like I feel like we did a lot of stuff, and we made a lot of friends. And there's more stuff to look forward to.
I'm not a big "New Year's Resolution" dude but, like, it's kinda a cool time to look back on things, right? Maybe it's just me.
But yo, have a great Christmas, of Hanukkah or Kwanzaa or, uh, Pastafarian Holiday. Winter Solstice. Everyone born in December's gonna be a Sagittarius or a Capricorn, you know? Poor suckers.
See y'all next year, friends.
Xmas Update
Hello friends!
Do you hear the jingle bells? And do you see the SNOW?!?! (get me out of here please it's so cold)
We let you know in last week's Bulletin to look forward to this week, and maybe you got a sneak peak during one of the streams (the real ones showed up).
But it's SNOWY NOW IN THE HUB!
We've also got a snowy rooftop for y'all to use for your snowbrawlin':
And we've also got cozy outfits and a new present that you can give to your friends!
Changelog
New Card: Present
Not collectible in packs
You can only get this card if someone uses it in the same match you are playing. Unless you're lucky, or are on the Nice List
You might be lucky enough to automatically get the present! Make sure you check to see if you can spread the holiday cheer!
New Skins: The "Unpaid Toy Maker" skin has been added for EVERY CHARACTER!
The Hub has been decorated with everything Christmas
The Xmas Rooftop map is back!
Bugfixes and Improvements

Buddy's Bulletin: XXII, December 15th
'Ey friends, it's been a couple weeks, eh?
If you didn't kinda check out the HUGE NEWS yesterday, we announced when the second Premium Expansion Pass for Friends vs Friends, Nerdvana, will be releasing January 16th, so get your decks ready for that!
You might be super curious about what's going to be coming with that, but why get hyped about something that comes out next month when you can get hyped about something that comes out NEXT WEEK?!?!
Reveal of the Week
A new update to the game is coming next week!!
Check out this SNOWIFIED Rooftop that's gonna be perfect for those snowbullet battles:
And of course, it wouldn't be a holiday update if you couldn't dress up and give your friends gifts, right? And what better way to do that than, uh, shoot them?
The update with all of these goodies will go live on December 19th, so make sure you get ready for a proper snowbrawl then!
Reminder to Those In the Back of the Classroom
We mentioned it in the announcement yesterday for Nerdvana (EEEEEEEEEEEEEI'MSOEXCITED!!!) that, when Nerdvana releases, y'all aren't going to be able to purchase the Deluxe Edition Content anymore.
SO if you want to get two-Premium-Passes-for-the-price-of-one, make sure you pick it up in the Deluxe Edition NOW!
Soooo to be honest, the Mayor of Friendtown is sick right now, and I'm just kinda trying to fill his shoes. I have no idea what's usually written in these sections.
I went back and read some of the other Bulletins and, uh, it looks like he's using this column instead of a therapist? So I guess I can give that a go?
Um, my mother always thought that I had too much energy as a kid, and wanted me to be a teacher. And then I went to school where I studied Spanish and Political Science to, uh... make video games and live in Friendtown? And that's why I'm bad at buying gifts for people.
...
You know, that was actually kinda nice. I can see why he likes doing this.
Hope I didn't make things feel too different for y'all, this is the Not-Mayor of Friendtown, signing off.
...
Oh and next week we'll cover more of Nerdvana.
Not-Mayor, OUT!
Coming January 2024 - Welcome to NERDVANA!
Get ready for the grand opening of a new store on Buddy's Boulevard!
On January 16th we'll be releasing Friends vs Friends: Nerdvana, the second premium expansion pass that will contain a brand-new location, Nerdvana Comics, along with a brand new Quest Chain that will reward brand-new skins, Hama Chains, and Card Backs!
We also want y'all boneheads to know that the Deluxe Edition Content, which includes the first two Premium Passes for Friends vs Friends, will NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE WHEN NERDVANA COMES OUT! So make sure you cash in on the bargain that it is before then, we'll try to remind you as much as we can!
Stay tuned in to upcoming Buddy Bulletins to get a glimpse of what more is to come!
Get ready to roll the dice and unleash the true power of nerdiness!

Mayor’s Message
Hey folks, it's me. The Mayor of Friendtown.
It's been a while since I wrote my column, and I've missed it!
I always get slightly melancholic during this time of the year, it's like getting to the final chapter of a really good book. I do hate wintertime though... People keep saying "You should be used to it now, come on" - CAN YOU PLEASE STOP SAYING THAT!? I'm never gonna get used to it, I hate it, please stop! People who say they "love the winter" clearly can't be trusted.
I'm gonna log off now, I'm getting too upset.

Buddy’s Bulletin: XX, October 27th
Hello Friends,
We hope you're enjoying the Halloween event that's live right now! We really had some fun setting things up and revamping Buddy's Boulevard, maybe we'll do something similar for the Holidays...
This week's Bulletin is rather light as we're currently hard at work on the next update! We hope to have that one ready rather soon!
In the meantime, please keep enjoying the Halloween event!

Check out this super cool card concept made by Royal. I would love to see this one get into the game!
Mayor’s Message
Hey folks, it's me. The Mayor of Friendtown.
This week has passed so quickly; you won’t believe how happy I am about that!
The sooner this spooky period is over, the better! I can barely get any sleep! All I keep thinking of is that damn new Exorcist movie! Like… there are two kids possessed now!?? Get out of here!!
