Between teatime, crochet, and - of course - disecting a good book, the retirement days of the Murder Mavens Mystery Bookclub are looking peaceful. That is, until they begin to notice some strange happenings around their little New England town...
Brindlewood Bay is a cozy horror RPG in which up-to 4 players are cast as a group of retired ladies supporting each other through the rest of their days. Play is designed like a TV show (think Murder, She Wrote meets Lovecraft) in which each session has an opening credit montage where your characters are bonding over Cozy Activities, which can also be used to remove any negative Conditions your ladies have acquired in gameplay.
Here's where the horror comes in: the Mavens, being Murder Mystery fans and having acquired some sleuthing skills, begin to notice odd clues around town. Before they know it, dark magics and occult mysteries are crawling out of the woodworks and they may be the only ones who can solve what is happening! Sessions are even set up in such a way that not even the Keeper running the game knows the answers.
The Brindlewood Bay RPG book has everything you'll need to help the Mavens crack these cases:
- The Core Rules of play
- The Dark Conspiracy Campaign
- 6 Murder Mysteries:
- Dad Overboard
- All Hallow's Scream
- The Great Brindlewood Bay Bake-Off
- Jingle Bell Shock
