About the adventure
In Brindlewood Bay you play the part of an amateur detective who is a member of the local Book Club, The Murder Mavens. You're a group of elderly women with a love of solving murder mysteries. The Mavens are also huge fans of The Gold Crown Mysteries by Robin Masterson. The outcome isn't predetermined. You will talk to witnesses (who can also be suspects), gather clues, and connect all the pieces together to form your hypothesis. Some of the die rolls you made during the game will determine any consequences of your actions. Brindlewood Bay has a lot of cozy elements, but there is also cosmic horror, violence and sacrifice.

About me
So, a bit about me. I'm a TTRPG content creator and GM. I have played many different games over the last 41 years and been a GM almost as long. I have always enjoyed story driven games and strive to include that in the games I run. I enjoy a mix of RP and tactical but can adapt based on the group. I run inclusive games where everyone is welcome. I'm newcomer friendly and am more than happy and willing to teach the game to somebody who has never played before. Safety tools are important to me as I want everybody to have a good time and a safe place to play. I don't use AI in my games or ads. Everything is human made.

Creating your character
I can provide pregen characters, but we can also take a few minutes to make characters at the start. Even with pregens there's still some things to do to finalize your characters.
