Many of us have decided that “hot girl” summer is out and Golden Girls summer is in. What better way to celebrate than with the Kickstarter for the Brindlewood Bay Role Playing Game on Kickstarter. Choose your old lady murder mystery solving personality, you fashion sense (yes, Dorothy Zbornak is an option), and your investigation style (Fox Mulder anyone?). At the time of this posting, the Kickstarter has 14 more days to go and is fully funded- praise be.
If you visit their Kickstarter page, there’s even a preview download for you to check out.
Here’s part of the synopsis from the Kickstarter:
Brindlewood Bay is a groundbreaking murder mystery game for 1 Keeper (GM) and up to 4 players. It’s Powered by the Apocalypse but also uses the innovative Carved from Brindlewood mystery system where even the Keeper doesn’t know the solution! The game is inspired by cozy mystery shows like Murder, She Wrote, but also takes inspiration from supernatural fiction and police procedural shows from the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s.
In the game, you play a group of elderly women enjoying their retirement in the picturesque New England town of Brindlewood Bay. Their partners are deceased, their children have long flown the nest, and now they find companionship in one another. An important part of the story is that cozy feeling—we get to see these women enjoying their lives, helping and supporting each other, and pursuing their favorite hobbies, which are called Cozy Activities in the game. The game is presented as a TV show, and at the start of each session, you narrate a short “opening credits” montage showing the women enjoying their Cozy Activities. Throughout the game, as a way of removing negative Conditions, you’ll have warm, intimate scenes between the characters wherein they get emotionally vulnerable while enjoying their Cozy Activities together.
