About the adventure
Each year, Brindlewood Bay hosts a charity poker tournament to raise funds for various nonprofits in the Brindlewood area. But when the ringer brought in from out of town shows up dead, everyone is a suspect, and it's up to the Murder Mavens to discover the murderer before they end up with a losing streak as well. Brindlewood Bay is a ttrpg based on cozy murder mysteries such as Murder, She Wrote, but with a bit of Lovecraftian influence in the background. It uses a modified version of the Powered by the Apocalypse game system. Knowledge of murder mysteries and Lovecraft are not necessary to play but knowing various tropes belonging to such media will enhance gameplay. Get ready to play as old ladies vs Cthulhu!

About me
Hello all! I'm Amber, and I have been GMing for 7 years now! I fell in love with ttrpgs when I tried D&D 3.5e back in the day, and I returned to gaming with 5e and other various ttrpgs. It is my goal to introduce players to a multitude of ttrpgs so that they can find the game that they adore and return to time and again. I hope to nurture an environment of creativity and comfort in being one's self (as well as original characters for a few hours lol).
