There can be only one Most Ridiculous Game Ever, and this is it.

This week in a celebration of our fair state, we played Butter Princess by @oxsago.bsky.social! Hubristic, deeply flawed attendees at the Minnesota State Fair conspired and squabbled to steal the 90-pound butter bust portrait of the fair’s pageant queen, Princess Kay of the Milky Way. Huge fun!

I'm supposed to remind you that there's just 8 hours left to back Pick Me on Kickstarter.

Also, there's a new creepy dressup doll character, because it's not Christmas without creepy dolls oozing goo.

A character card from the Pick Me game, featuring a toy vampire suspended upside down. His green skin contrasts with the pink times of a severed doll’s head he dangles from his claws.

Pick Me now has Li’l Helmouth, a gummy vampire, as a playable character.

I brag about you and your work all the time. You’re building a hell of a game empire and legacy.

Do you have a ttrpg that in your opinion is so under celebrated that you have appointed yourself head of the PR committee for that game? Where on at least one occasion someone mistakenly assumed you must have worked on it but really you're just unwell about it?

What's that game to you?

That someone conflates the trifecta of dairy farming, county fairs, and underfunded public education, and then points to the game I wrote just made my day.

State Fair Inspires Butter Princess Role-Playing Game For some, the Minnesota State Fair is a surreal and bewildering experience. Author Brian Sago made a 90-pound block of butter heist game about it.

Nice article about the origin of the game. mspmag.com/arts-and-cul...

I had the precious opportunity to work on interior illustrations forβ€ͺ @rrookstudio.bsky.social‬ 's "Dark Designs in Verdigris".

Brought back many childhood memories reading the original Oz books in the library.

Here's one of my images.

Birmingham ink and Blackwing pencil on Rives BFK paper.

It was a treat to be involved in illustrating this. Brought back childhood memories of checking out L. Frank Baum's books from the elementary school library. John R. Neill's illustrations certainly made an impression.

Technically ink, rather than watercolor.

From the Birmingham Ink Company, and diluted far below their usual intensity to get the look.

It was a delight to come up with these, reminiscing on childhood memories of Baum’s books and the small school library where I encountered them.

Verbs are dice rolls. Nouns are treasure. Prepositions are traps!

Van Helsing rapidly licking the candy cane to a point to use as a stake, but, as the candy cane gets more pointy, there's a risk of nicking his tongue, and then blood everywhere.

Grab this and play it. When the final game comes out, race to buy it. I'm super excited about every scrap I have read and played.
