Good to see they left Lous face out so the many different actors of Lou can all be represented such as Tomahawk, Unkie D, and Glue Wilson.

M
Manzabar · August 21, 2025

You might want to take a look at Brindlewood Bay, https://www.gauntlet-rpg.com/brindlewood-bay.html It's an indie TTRPG that's rather fun and which can be quite Clue like.

Operation as a vehicle for a Gray's Anatomy medi-drama, anyone?

I had a mild panic seeing just the title at first, thinking there was yet another property Brennan is involved in doing puzzle/arg shenanigans. I’m very excited about a mystery clue theme though!
