About the adventure
Welcome to Brindlewood Bay – a sleepy seaside town where the tea is hot, the gossip is hotter, and the Murder Mavens are always ready to stir the pot... especially when someone ends up dead. In this one-shot cozy mystery RPG, you’ll play as a sharp-witted retiree with a passion for amateur sleuthing—and maybe a secret scone recipe or two. Inspired by Murder, She Wrote, The Golden Girls, and The Great British Baking Show, this mystery takes place at Brindlewood Bay’s beloved annual baking competition. But when one someone turns up dead, it’s up to your knitting circle of curious grandmas to uncover the truth (and maybe snag a few cake tips along the way). This game is rules-light and roleplay-rich—perfect for first-timers or experienced players looking for something playful and charming. Expect suspicious suspects, dramatic desserts, and a collaborative mystery full of laughter and lighthearted intrigue. If you love cozy crime dramas, baking puns, and putting the “sharp” in “sharp-tongued retiree,” then tie on your apron and grab your magnifying glass—it’s time to sleuth.

About me
🎲 Hi! I’m Laura. I'm a lifelong storyteller and DM who loves bold narration, fun character voices, and a little theatrical flair with sound and lighting. I’ve been telling stories for over 30 years, and I run games that are designed to be engaging, welcoming, and memorable. I care about good pacing, shared spotlight, and making sure the table feels welcoming and easy to settle into. I’ve had the privilege of learning from and playing alongside some truly exceptional Dungeon Masters in the industry, including B. Dave Walters (Stranger Things), Jason Carl (LA by Night), Monte Cook (D&D 3.5), Beth the Bard (She Is the Ancient), Kelly Lynne D’Angelo (Rivals of Waterdeep), and others. I’m deeply grateful for the chance to learn from so many different styles, systems, and approaches to storytelling. I run both crunchy and story-forward games, depending on what you’re looking for. I’m also known for putting playful twists on familiar worlds—think the Golden Girls in Barovia, a toy on a heroic quest, or other “wait, that actually works?” adventures. The goal is simple: great stories, real laughs, and sessions people can’t stop talking about. My tables are 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 inclusive and if you're new to RPGs, fear not! I absolutely love welcoming new people into our hobby. I offer D&D weekend getaways and private parties. Contact me for details! I am a lifelong educator, facilitator, and certified play practitioner. I love bringing games to team building events and companies too!

Creating your character
We will create your granny during the game. If you have a rough idea of the kind of granny you want to play, bring it! The only rule? Your granny doesn't have a current spouse and her children have flown the nest.
