Brindlewood Bay

Brindlewood Bay

Murder, tea, and cosmic dread behind well-kept gardens.

Brindlewood Bay is an unusual tabletop roleplaying game that combines the cozy mystery charm of Murder, She Wrote with the ominous horror of H. P. Lovecraft. Players take on the roles of older women, members of the local Murder Mavens Mystery Book Club, who solve murder cases in an idyllic small town in New England long before the police catch the right scent.

But the deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: the individual crimes are connected. Behind lace doilies, tea parties, and book clubs lies a dark occult conspiracy threatening their town and perhaps more. To save their community, the Murder Mavens must look horror directly in the eye.

The game is deliberately designed to be low-prep, easy to access, and works regardless of prior roleplaying experience. The focus is on investigation, collaborative storytelling, and slowly escalating horror.
