Brindlewood Bay RPG Review: The Murder She Wrote RPG

Brindlewood Bay is a tabletop roleplaying game that combines Murder, She Wrote with H.P. Lovecraft. In it, you play a group of elderly women, members of the local Murder Mavens Mystery Book Club, who help the authorities solve murder cases in a picturesque New England Town. Over the course of their investigations, they become aware of a dark occult conspiracy that connects the cases, and will eventually have to face that conspiracy in order to save their community. The game is low-prep and easy to play no matter your experience with tabletop roleplaying games.

This looks so cool!! Perfect for my partner, who’s obsessed with Murder She Wrote, and has yet to play an RPG. I showed her this, and she’s excited to play it. That’s a huge deal for her! So thanks a whole bunch for another awesome recommendation, you two ❤

I've increasingly enjoyed your Board Game reviews and excited to hear you're also into TTRPGs. Love the fact you kicked off with Brindlewood Bay - a game I've heard lots of good things about but not yet played. I'm really looking forward to finding out which RPGs you're going to review next:)

Very interesting, tganks. I played and ran a lot of TTRPGS in my school days

Do you suggest it for just two people (one GM and one player)?

One of my favourite ttrpgs. There are quite a few regional mods out there btw that relocate the ladies eg into Bavaria or the Frisian islands etc.
