Is Moomin low fantasy?
>>
Moomin is lotr and snuffkin is gandalf
>>
It's garbage like most low fantasy, so probably.

All his walking about genres is fucking stupid anyway. If a game can be described as pat of a genre that means it's unoriginal trash anyway. Only play settings that defy comparison, like Numenera, which is an unparalleled work of genius.

>>47301820
It's typical European trash.

Settings should be exotic and multi-ethnic, not pale face rehashes.

Moomin would be a pretty cool world for a really rules-light system that wants to do contemporary with some fantastic elements! And it still has room for bleak/dark influences in the setting. Motherfucking Groke gon' turn your campaign into CoC, nigger!

>low fantasy

Isn't it set on the Moon? As in, our Moon? I guess that makes it low fantasy.
>>
>>47301202
It has wizards, witches and anthropomorphized forces of nature. I don't think it counts as low fantasy
>>
>>47301202
>Is moomin low fantasy?

It's not set on earth, it's set in the primary world of the stories and the fantastical elements are all out in the open in the setting, so no, it does not qualify as low fantasy in any way.

Unless you ask some 15 year old dicksuck who thinks that anything that's more grounded than Final Fantasy is low fantasy, but his opinion is not one you should base your definitions on.

Eh, not sure how low fantasy that makes it, it's Earth but a fictionalized version, like a fairytale.

God that book was garbage. I think I had like a first printing that my dad gave me and infucking burned it after he died because I hated the book so much. He always used to read it to me and I always hated it. What a piece of crap. The book was old as fuck too. Probably worth something but watching the old dry paper flare up like gasoline was worth it.

Either books or anime. They are very different in approach - despite the traumatizing elements, the anime is more kid-friendly and warmer. Comics and stories are sort of meant for everyone, bit more philosophic.
I think that without the nostalgia-factor you won't find the anime that great.
I think you can find both on internet.

I still remember Groke and how afraid I was of it as a child. And for fucks sake that ghost ship that came out of nowhere in the lighthouse episode was some spooky stuff. And that nightmare filled episode.

Fuck how did they make a children's show that literally inflicts psychological fear? I still feel dread when listening to the Groke theme.

But maybe I'm just a massive pussy.
