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. Image of magical girls slowly breaking down the bug creature along with their flying horses. Written by Maggs Visaggio, Colors by Stelladia, lettering by Zaak Saam The bug creature being sent to die, magical girls celebrating and the rando citizen Ellie asking what was happening.

Well, I WAS drawing to the very charming 20 Minute TTRPGs with host @cutestpatoot.itch.io and their first guest @michellicopter.bsky.social, but then they *challenged me* to participate in making a new short game.

Enjoy this cozy interview + game creation show! www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRaD...

The party comes upon a strange sight: five aquatic ghouls frolicking in bathing suits! What nonsense will the Asmodean Knot throw at our vault-thieves next?

My lil' Galentine's Day mystery is available! Brindlewood Bay's finests are enjoying their candlelit Valentine's meal when murder strikes.

It's based in a fictionalized version of the Gouffre de Padirac, a network of underground caves and waterways. Give your Murder Mavens a vacation in France!

If you are geekily inclined, ReedPOP (whose parent company is named as having connections to ICE) is also the event organizer behind all the PAX shows, Star Wars Celebration, NYCC, Chicago Comicon, and Emerald City Comicon; read this thread to see what action you can take to voice your opposition.

Kinda feels important to know that ReedPOP's parent company has ties to ICE. There's some things we can do in the comics community to make our voices heard. 1/3

Check the RELX, LexisNexis, and ReedPOP ties yourself: www.relx.com
Screen shot of the open letter addressed to RELX CEO Erik Engstrom, Nick Luff (CFO), and Paul Ashton Walker (Chair)—explains: We are some of the authors that make events like BookCon—run by your subsidiary, ReedPop—possible. Another of your subsidiaries, LexisNexis, has a $22.1 million contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), supplying them with the data they need to surveil and terrorize our neighbors, friends, and families. We condemn any collaboration with ICE and call for the immediate termination of all contracts between RELX and ICE."
