ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
It’s the holiday season, and the Murder Mavens are out caroling as part of the Brindlewood Bay Lunch Club’s annual Ugly Christmas Sweater Carol-a thon fundraiser. However, instead of singing "Jingle Bells," they instead must sing the truth when someone is found dead...

ABOUT THE SYSTEM
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.
