CABIN IN THE WOODS × JOHN DIES AT THE END × JUMANJI When one of them is murdered at their annual gaming retreat, 5 dads must rely on years of #TTRPG experience—& ball-busting puns—to solve the crime before they're all butchered like NPCs in a badly written supernatural campaign. #QuestPit #A #H #Q
Poster-style graphic with a black background and heavy red blood splatter. Large distressed white and red text reads “DAD BODIES.” A dagger runs horizontally through the letters, and a 20-sided die showing low numbers appears on the right. Along the bottom are black silhouettes of heads with X-shaped eyes. Beneath, smaller text reads “ROLL FOR FUCKERY,” and at the bottom: “A co(s)mic horror novel by B. van Bodegom.”

Fourth and final #QuestPit post! If you liked Altered Carbon, The Accountant, Hench, and the Arrowverse, you will love Supercharged. #W #A #S #T
A whiteboard where pictures of a woman and a man are pinned, and an icon warning "vigilantes are patrolling in this area" the whiteboard also reads "strategic actions " at the bottom. 
The middle reads "A story where neon and rot spreads. Powers flare up. Vigilante justice is on screen. And two corporate workers are caught in the machine."

Currently on draft 1.5 of my speculative noir thriller, although I played with many versions of the WIP since 2019 - the original short story was busting at the seams - and I had a six-year long hiatus. Back harder, better, faster, stronger now. #questpit
