About the adventure
Have you ever wanted to role play a little old grandma working together with her book club to stop a doomsday cult from summoning a cthonic monstrosity and destroying the world while enjoying hobbies such as baking, gardening, or knitting? If so then Brindlewood Bay is the game for you! Powered by the Apocalypse.
Game style
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
90% of this game is Theater of the Mind, I'll be using Discord for art, and handouts.

Gameplay details
Hello, this game is based off the stylized murder of the week tv shows, most notably Murder She Wrote. Though with more Cthulhu...It can get creepy, but mostly is a sweet little game. We'll go over any lines during session 0, and talk about veils. I don't expect this one to hit any triggers really.

How will character creation work
We'll do this together during session 0 as there are certain things that can only appear once per group, and we don't want any cross over. It's a 2d6 pass/fail system, and character creation will go fast.
