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. Landlandiaās 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.
