How it works:

  • Every three months, the Storytelling Collective team will announce a tabletop roleplaying game system we'll be studying that quarter

  • All participants will receive prompts, and questions to guide their reading

  • In collaboration with the StoCo team, a facilitator with expertise on that quarter's game system will host live calls and online discussions

  • Participants are part of an online community where they can ask questions and share thoughts about our current read

  • Toward the end of the quarter, participants will receive writing prompts to put their new knowledge into practice!

Everything you need to successfully learn new ttRPGs

You'll get worksheets with guided reading questions, live calls with expert facilitators, and access to a private community where you can ask questions and share thoughts

Current Read (April - July 2025)

Brindlewood Bay

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.
