Brindlewood Bay is roleplaying game about a group of elderly women - members of the local Murder Mavens mystery book club - who find themselves investigating (and solving!) actual murder mysteries in their quaint New England town.

The game strives for collaborative storytelling and features an innovative Mystery-solving mechanic. There is no pre-defined solution to the murder case, instead the players jointly piece together the clues, formulate a theory and finally play to find out if they are right!

Brindlewood Bay is directly inspired by the television show "Murder, She Wrote", but also takes inspiration from the cosmic horror genre, "cozy" crime dramas and American TV shows from the '70s, '80s and '90s.

The tone of this game bounces between the cozy and the creepy. While the game is generally lighthearted, some intense subject matter like murder (of all varieties) and horror elements will come up.

Session 2: Panic! at the Bingo
A celebrity bingo-caller draws the Mavens to Looming Horizons Nursing Home, but the excitement turns deadly when the feared Matron Elizabeth Chambers collapses mid-event. With several residents and staff having reason to celebrate her passing, the Mavens must determine whether it was natural causes or something more sinister.


Session 3: Bride or Die
A raucous bachelorette weekend takes a tragic turn when bride-to-be Kelseigh is found dead at her grandfather’s estate. With partygoers nursing hangovers and secrets alike, the Mavens must untangle the weekend’s events to find out what really happened.
