We've hit all our stretch goals for our TTRPG anthology!! 20 new one shot incursions for Trophy! We're not going to be printing a lot of extra books so be sure to get in on it now or you'll be sad later! www.kickstarter.com/projects/fir...
I had a wild day and I've been quiet because it's been a bit overwhelming! We hit our goal and then some! There's still lots of time to help us get to our last stretch goal for our Trophy Anthology, featuring @premeemohamed.com and @quinnblackwell.bsky.social :D
Me and @lincodega.com are a stretch goal for this. hope it hits. Itβs my folk horror tom bombadil incursion.
Tons of amazing people involved in this, both in the core project (already funded!) and the stretch goals (sprinting towards unlocking!)
Go back it and have a horrific time (complimentary)
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 fairβs pageant queen, Princess Kay of the Milky Way. Huge fun!
More Trophy incursions arriving in a matter of days!

Each of them also comes in a plain text version, which should make word counting easier.
If anyone else wants to totally make my day with a nice quote about my work Iβm not gonna say no <3
A hand holding a zine "Earthly Beings" by Munkao and Elizabeth Gimbad. This is an art zine with some research writing in it.
Sharing a little of my 2nd art zine β Earthly Beings, which is now available at heycentaur.com.
It contains a fair bit of art Iβve done in 2024, as well as some research stuff.
This is an incredible deal!

Public Access by the Gauntlet is razor sharp, powerfully strange and enormously thought-provoking. My players are still daydreaming about our campaign, even though it finished six months ago. I think your players will too.

Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop
And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below π₯Ή)

Hey tabletop gamers, if you bought or were considering buying this bundle but got overwhelmed by the number of games to sort through, have I got the spreadsheet for you!!
All 1,074 games tagged as "physical" sorted by play style, with language, engine, and genre notated to the best of my ability:
On it. But first...
It ainβt over til Minnesota has ICEβs battle flag
Happy birthday! In my experience, you're bound to end up with the Weather Augury ("There's a storm coming... I can feel it in my bones") feat sooner or later, so might as well take it now!
Say fuck you to ICE and get a fuckton of games in the process!
Seriously, I got the bundle and it's *48 pages* of stuff made by the bestest people π€©
I dare you to get the bundle and not find something you like. Can't be done.
I love this project and I love that one of my elected officials has been leading it. Seeing the organizing and on-the-ground safety work of @jasoncomix.bsky.social as well as several Minneapolis city council members has really stretched my imagination about what elected public service can look like.
Keep! It! Going!
