In Something Tookish, you play as a Halfling in a cozy little village, solving various mysteries. Not everything is a crime and there's nothing as gruesome as murder, oh no, they wouldn't do that! But petty theft or spats between neighbours also require someone to meddle solve them, right? And you're just the Halflings for the job! This game uses the Carved from Brindlewood framework. This means (just like in Brindlewood Bay), there is no canon solution to the mysteries. It's up to the players to come up with a clever way to tie everything together. However, there are plenty of clues to find and plenty of locals to meet! This oneshot is for 2-4 Halflings and will take about 3 hours. Our session pitch: "The village is buzzing with excitement, for the annual baking contest takes place today! Everyone is busy with preparations, for even those who are not entering a baked good into the competition have been pressed into service by someone who is. You arrive very early, only to find a mortified Belinda Sackville, who approaches you in a panic. Can you help find her missing muffin tin? She promised to outdo herself this year and keep up her winning streak!" This game will be great if you like PbtA, cozy mysteries, community, small-town village life, baking, poems, sing-alongs and Carved from Brindlewood, New players welcome. The game runner is very familiar with this system. The game runner will provide playbooks ahead of time, so you can customize your character.
