I just picked this up and wanted to say thank you for making it!

I'm planning to use this Mystery after a few others in the campaign I am currently running, in conjunction with "Starry-Eyed Visionaries," made by creator "bloodygorgeous" on itch.io, which outlines a new space-based origin/context for the Midwives. I already have an NPC that I planned to introduce in the next Mystery as the Film and TV Critic for the Brindlewood Beacon, and now I will make him Mitsuaki Hoshino, brother of Hikari.
Anyway, thanks again!

Thank you very much!

Hello! Very fun Mysteries. I am planning to run And Then There Was A Storm for my gaming group. Can I ask you about what you had in mind related to Sabine and Zeke? What we know about Zeke is that he was expelled from college because of Sabine, and Lydia was "tormented by remorse over her wife's behavior" and offered Zeke a job.
I know I can make the details whatever I want, but I got the feeling you had something in mind about that situation.
I'm running another Mystery set in the Brindlewood Bay Public Library (Tiles and Tribulations by Amanda Mullins, which is about a Scrabble tournament that happens in the library) first but I wanted to use it as an opportunity to set up characters that the Mavens will meet later in And Then There Was A Storm.
Anything you're willing to share would be great. Thanks!

I backed this when it was crowdfunding and honestly, it's exactly what I hoped for. Love the concept, love the art and layout, love the prompts and different playbooks, love the whole vibe. I can't wait to get it to the table. The testimonials by luminary game designer that you see on this page who have made some of the best games out there got me excited for the game and it's lived up to the hype for sure.

I love this Mystery so much!

I created some fan content to help run the mystery; it is basically cards with a picture and the name of the Victim and each of the Suspects. In my Brindlewood Bay games, I use shared whiteboard tool from Google called Jamboard, and I can create a frame into which I drop these cards. After I do that, they can manipulate these cards, move them around, jot clues or notes onto sticky notes within Jamboard, draw on the Jamboard with a marker, etc. I'll attach a photo of what it looks like.

If others want to check out my fan content, I created a folder which is publicly accessible through this link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1DYjp0R_xd5Gl-m4srYi5qSpa973zhjP6?usp=sha...

Happy gaming! - Brian
