Beakwood Bay is a hack of cozy occult mystery RPG, Brindlewood Bay, published by The Gauntlet. The game is focused on letting players roleplay as ducks in the mold of Carl Barks’ and Don Rosa's Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck comics from the 1950s and 1980s respectively and the more recent Duck Tales cartoons. Play revolves around going on harebrained adventures to gain treasure and protect plunder from nefarious forces but the characters must be wary of letting their ill-begotten gold corrupt them and warp them into Scrooge-like figures.
Here's what you're going to get in Beakwood Bay
