Tavern Watch Plays Brindlewood Bay, episode 3: Did we move to a cursed retirement village?

It’s a valid question for our group of little old lady detectives, who have learned more than they expected about the strange history of their little town on a casual visit to the Brindlewood Bay Whaling Museum… with a little side of murder.

It happens a lot in Brindlewood Bay. It’s probably fine.

This is the last episode of our game of Brindlewood Bay, a cozy mystery with a few dark twists. I’m running this game, along with some excellent role-players on the team who have taken well to mystery solving. Here is our party of little old ladies:

• Joan as Louisa, resident gardener who loves getting her hands dirty and has seen absolutely every episode of MacGyver. Always carries her Swiss Army knife (the TSA hates her).
• Matt as Ludmilla, an ex-powerlifter who has retired to a peaceful life in Brindlewood Bay. She keeps an indeterminate number of cats (and is never seen anywhere without at least one of them).
• Mitch as Bordy, a collector of all things, who has never seen a bauble she didn’t want to add to her collection. She’s also been getting mysterious messages on her answering machine lately, but it’s probably nothing.

Confused about what’s going on? You should listen to the first episode and the second episode before starting this one!

If you enjoy our game, you can give it a try yourself! You can pick up the Brindlewood Bay rulebook from from The Gauntlet, including the Nephews in Peril supplement which includes the adventure we’re playing here! The whole thing is a little bit Murder, She Wrote and a little bit X-Files, and a whole lot of roleplaying. We had a lot of fun with it, so check the game out!
