About the adventure

Tone: High degree of magic, bold adventure and whimsical weirdness. Setting: The World of Landlandia A world of wonder, conflict and whimsy - where emotions make magic. Emotions manifest in the outside world as S.P.E.L.L.s (Self-Propagated Emotionally Loaded Leakage). Once torn by millennia of war, the nations now exist in an uneasy peace, held together by a prophetic book that called for unity. Formed as a nation for all, Landlandia built its identity around the Tavern, a symbol of community so influential that its name became synonymous with the entire world. Since its inception, the Adventurer career emerged, a state-sponsored profession split into dedicated methodologies called Ways to uncover the past and safeguard the future. Expect unexpected geography, political intrigue, ancient mysteries and bold, whimsical adventures. Landlandia’s lore directly inspires the mechanics of Dice Whims TTRPG, making the world and the game uniquely intertwined - Magic, Trauma, Empathy, Ways directly exist in our setting. Read more about Landlandia: https://tavernwondergames.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: Murmurmore A city state, situated at the crossroads between the nations of Gastronomnom, Dingle Dominion and Wisdom Wise. Murmurmore is an important city of Landlandia - an example that nations can have peace. If it falls to conflict, Landlandia itself might fall. It is, in truth, a capital of covert intelligence. A mere front of cooperation. The city is the playground for schemes, plots and struggles for power. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- System: Dice Whims TTRPG Dice Whims is an emotion-powered TTRPG where every action begins with how your character feels.
