The Giggling Gloom

S
StardustCove

Whimsical, mysterious, and slightly spooky—think Ghibli meets The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. In the quiet town of Merribog, the villagers have stopped laughing. Literally. Anyone who tries to laugh finds themselves struck with hiccups, then silence, then eerie giggles that aren’t their own. They beg the adventurers to investigate the source. Ideal setup: The local bard begs the players for help after she loses her voice mid-performance, and a disembodied laugh echoes from the rafters.

Description

A lively town centered around a large festival ground where townsfolk gather for celebrations and markets, bordered to the east by the dense, mysterious Wistmere Woods. The town features quaint timber-framed houses and colorful festival decorations, while the woods are filled with towering ancient trees and shadowy underbrush, inspiring both respect and fear among locals.

Appearance

The festival ground is an open grassy area adorned with vibrant banners and wooden stalls, surrounded by timber-framed houses with flower boxes. To the east, the landscape shifts abruptly to thick, towering trees draped in moss, with a shadowy, tangled underbrush. At the forest's edge lies a crooked village of moss-covered cottages leaning at odd angles, with muddy streets crisscrossed by goat paths and a perpetually overcast sky adding a whimsical gloom.
