RPG Errata: Brindlewood Bay, and Embracing Imperfection
Brindlewood Bay is a game that, to quote the website, “…combines Murder, She Wrote with H.P. Lovecraft.” You play the roles of a elderly women book-club, who regularly meet to discuss their favorite murder-mystery series of books. As de-facto mystery experts, the gang is constantly drawn into (or push their noses into) the murders that strike their quiet little New England town.
The H.P. Lovecraft part comes in with the Dark Conspiracy; a secret and occult plot that is behind every murder, and threatens to destroy the community if the players don’t thwart it. Along with all the clues you collect for each mystery, you sometimes find a “dark clue” — a sigil, a dagger, a note scrawled in an unfamiliar language — that brings the mysterious and evil plot more into focus.
