Veer’s World-building Tool

It's like eboy meets Sim City, but different. To tie in to the March catalog, our online interface lets you build your own isometric world from Veer images (and one special typeface). So go crazy (from the looks of the gallery, some people already have!) - we'll post our favorites here on The Skinny and create desktop wallpaper out of them, too.

Those guys outdid themselves, I think!

I second that. This is a very crafty idea. You kids should be proud of yourselves.
