Girl Genius Wiki

File:WikiTitle.jpg

Welcome to the Girl Genius Wiki, a fan-created resource for the fabulous gaslamp fantasy, appearing both in print and as a Hugo-award winning webcomic, produced by Studio Foglio. This wiki has received official acknowledgment from Kaja Foglio herself! "It's amazing, and we sometimes use it to look things up when we're in a hurry." —Professoressa Kaja Foglio Girl Genius is an epic graphic novel set in an alternate-world, Victorianesque Europe thrillingly overrun with Mad Science, published online for free every M-W-F and then in more traditional for-pay dead-tree format. Any entry here may contain spoilers for the current storyline. So if you somehow arrived here first, head over to the first page and start reading! The guy in the bowler hat is Professor Phil Foglio himself. If you are new to Girl Genius you might want to take a look at this general description of the story and its inspirations. There is a more detailed, but still brief, plot summary available, which does contain spoilers. Also available is an attempt at a comprehensive list of every edition of Girl Genius in print in any form. News The latest Girl Genius Kickstarter, for An Entertainment In Londinium: A Girl Genius Graphic Novel launched on Wednesday, April 3, and was fully funded in less than 12 hours! The stretch goals for this campaign include reprinting volumes 3, 12, and 14 in softcover and (non-puffy) hardcover editions, so keep on pledging! Kaja Foglio has completed her play through of the Adventures in Castle Heterodyne Girl Genius video game. She is starting to stream other games during the same time slot, officially (and, unofficially, whenever she feels like it). Her gaming sessions take place every Wednesday at 6 pm PDT on her channel on Twitch TV. The games she has streamed so far include Terraria, Teslagrad 2, and Breath of the Wild. The Girl Genius video game, Adventures in Castle Heterodyne was released on September 5 on Steam (for PC, Mac, Linux) and will be out later this winter for the Nintendo Switch.
