ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
Under normal circumstances, the Mavens would be delighted to receive a letter from an old friend. But Larissa Montauk vanished without a trace over a decade ago. Out of the blue, she's invited them to her new home, a small town that was home to a World's Fair in the 60s... a fair that ended in disaster. In this Ray Bradbury-inspired sweeps week mystery, the Mavens dive into a bizarre vision of the future to solve a rash of arson plaguing Bluetown⁠—and to get to the bottom of what really happened to Larissa all those years ago.

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. The game is low-prep and easy to play no matter your experience with tabletop roleplaying games.
