🛶 Up a Creek, Without a Heartbeat! 🛶

My latest Brindlewood Bay ttrpg mystery takes place at the annual canoe races that come to a splashin' halt when Dick Spitz + Gina Wing tie for dead (last).

Plus, rules to handle an investigation with two victims.

On @drivethrurpg.com 🌊 bit.ly/creekbeat

Blue cover with the title Up a Creek without a Heartbeat, a new Brindlewood Bay mystery by Jen Vaughn (May). It features the meaty, hairy legs of a person in a canoe with a lot of blood seeping into the water.

WITCHING SEASON is on kickstarter!

@susanlbridges.bsky.social and I are in this, with magnificent art by @ryehickman.bsky.social!

WHATEVER YOU WANT is super gay and VERY trans

it's about people who claim to love you and say you can be whoever you want... until that's not who they thought you were

A small child at a party, in a purple witch hat, with a creepy adult woman behind her. the woman's dress is turning into tendrils on the bottom, and her fingers are creepy, elongated, and claw-like

Two women holding hands and touching foreheads, eyes closed, candles in the foreground, with wisps of candlelight arcing through the darkness around them

Happy #PortfolioDay

I’m a freelance cartoonist who loves to also make TTRPG adventures.Let’s collab!

Pink cover of the mystery that says Love You, Mean It: a brindlewood bay mystery by Jen Vaughn. The image features a man with a bald spot face down on a party table, his hand in a spilled drink, a bowl of popcorn and napkins nearby. past the table you can see the legs of two women, one in a pair of slacks and low heels, the other in a green skirt and flowery sandels. Above everything are pink streams and a pink, purple and orange disco ball.

Yellow book cover called The Creeping Hour: A new Brindlewood Bay Midwives Origin and Child of Persephone by Jen Vaughn. The drawn image is a deer-like creature in a purple forest vomiting out vines, leaves, bones and more.

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

• OUR VOICES ARE
STRONGER TOGETHER.
WHISTLES GUIDE
PEOPLE TO:
• FOLLOW ICE CARAVANS
• CATCH UP WITH THE CROWD
• ALERT NEIGHBORS
TO JOIN IN
NOISE = VISIBILITY.
CODE 2:
CODE RED
BLOW THREE LONG BLASTS:
PREEEE-PREEEE-PREEEE!
→ ICE IS DETAINING SOMEONE.
FORM A CROWD, STAY LOUD.
DON'T STAY SILENT. STAY NONVIOLENT.
WHY IT WORKS
• INSTANT ALERT

• FASTER THAN SOCIAL MEDIA

People are going to get the wrong takeaway here and it’s that one person got laid with it. Not that it dries up forests to give you a chaste Linked-in line “Thanks for taking the time to talk!” for a romantic follow-up.
