  • [Monthly Monster] The Bullywug Princess

    I’m continuing my effort to make a little game about a weird D&D monster each month of 2018. The Bullywug Princess is a little game I made. It combines loathsome frogpeople, reality TV satire, hidden role mechanics and fairy tale parody in one game. And it mostly works!
