The Giggling Gloom

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.
