Welcome to Moominvalley

A TiGGR Setting Getting Started Touchstone: Tove Jansson's Moomin books — a small blue house by a river, a family of forgiving trolls, and a valley where the strangest visitors are always, eventually, welcome. Scene: Moominvalley — a lush, half-wild valley between forested hills and the open sea, somewhere

A designer's afterword to Neighbors This is not part of the game. The rules don't need it, and a table that never reads it will play exactly the same game as a table that does. It's here for the curious — an account of where
