Meet Avery, 29yo space engineer picking up illegal jobs while hiding on the lowest level of the last crumbling city on Titan.
Smart, talented, and a dreamer constantly crushing his own dreams.

With 2 agent likes in the bag, this has already been a huge day! Props to @posterpit.bsky.social for setting up such a fun event! Even bigger than last time it seems 😁 Below an #Agentsguide for #litagents and #editors.

agents guide for DAD BODIES. top left: moodboard layout with 9 squares 3 x 3, 6 have over the top terrified men (the dads), along the top and bottom 3 squares. Blood decal drips from top squares through the middle to the bottom ones. A Victorian mansion silhouette sits in the middle most left square, the title DAD BODIES in the middle, and right of that is the silhouette of a d20 with a skull icon showing. top right: PITCH & COMPS, CABIN IN THE WOODS X JOHN DIES AT THE END X KNIVES OUT, when their detective friend is murdered during annual gaming retreat, 5 dads nust use their years of ttrpg experience—and puns—to solve the crime before they're all killed off like npcs in a badly-written campaign. bottom left: "Fuck me, Troy." “That’s a bit inappropriate, Dave, considering the situation.” Dave averted his gaze from the bloodied corpse of their friend to face him. “Really, Troy? Now?” Troy shrugged. “Marv would’ve laughed.” The grin on his face faltered. Marv was lying in a pool of his own blood. The cause of death was clear, the hilt of the murder weapon protruding from his back. Since Marv was stiff as a board—not much different from his current state—they could rule out suicide. Marv was also more inclined to stab others in the back instead of himself. bottom right: DAD FRIENDS, HORROR AND MYSTERY, DARK HUMOR, SECLUDED MANOR, TTRPG ELEMENTS, DARK AND STORMY NIGHT. 3 SQUARES next to each other. First contains silhouette of an old mansion, middle has TITLE DAD BODIES, third has a skull on a d20

Brooke knows the pastor's daughter -(and her secret girlfriend) -Leah wouldn't disappear without saying goodbye.

But when no one at their cult-like church seems to remember Leah, Brooke is forced to not only prove Leah's murder, but her very existence.

In front of him is a smaller girl with blonde twintails, big round glasses, and outward-pointed elf-like ears. She holds up a flashlight, and the two looks surprised at something off-screen. A digital drawing of two people. The one on the left is androgynous, wearing a pink and red matador jacket. They have olive skin, green eyes, and wavy brown hair. They are blowing a kiss to the person on the right, who is unimpressed. She has straightened black hair, pulled into a low bun. She has a streak of white in her bangs. She is Black with piebaldism.
