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.

Recruiting notes

90% of this game is Theater of the Mind, I'll be using Discord for art, and handouts.

Additional details

How to prepare

You'll need Discord, Roll20, a mic, and the desire to play as a little old lady who solves crimes with her book club while thwarting an evil cult hell bent on bringing Chthonic horror into your peaceful little town. All while keeping up with your hobbies.

What I provide

As your Keeper I'll be bringing 25+ years of game running experience, 2 of them professionally here on StartPlaying. I'm gonna bring, maps, music, mystery, murder, mayhem and more.

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.
