Believe it or not: I'm making a f*cking Moomin tabletop RPG

[Circusfreak]

I recently rewatched one of my favourite nostalgia classics: "Comet in Moominland" and for some strange reason that made me wanna make a tabletop RPG setting based on the Moomin "mythos".

If any of you watched the show/movies/books/comics please help me remember things from it to put in the game. kinds of creatures, things that could be weapons(moominpappa actually carried a shotgun once), artifacts, items, locations, etc.

list of things I've decided to put in the game already:
- moominvalley
- the lonley mountains
- Hattifnattarna (the strange electrical ghost things)
- the groke

- himulians
- that plant creature from Comet in Moominland whose name i cant remember and will have to look up.

most of you probably have no idea whatsoever what i am talking about because your not familiar with it(in which case you really should get familiar with it).

I'm from the states, but I spent most of my life growing up in Hawaii. I forget which station it was, but they played the Moomins on saturday mornings.

I don't know what the Moomin's are, but this sounds like trying to build a tabletop RPG about Mr. Saturn (which, for the record, I would play the shit out of). Go for it!

Aah Moomin, such a nice little series. It gave me no nightmares at all as a kid...

Good luck with that. I love the TV show. It's very popular with my generation here in Israel, and it still gets reruns.

I think Moominpappa's hat should be a magical item with special properties.

I have no idea wtf this is, but you should totally do it!

Have you thought about what kind of system you will work with? d20? d10? etc...

cool. My girlfriend is a big Moomins fan, she has most of the books and some old black and white comics. There's some strange, creepy stuff in The Moomins which makes it really cool! You have to get Snufkin in there, such a cool travelling bum, and Sniff ,too , as some type of pet

A Swede, a USAer and a few guys who don't show their nationality know who the Moomin are?
I don't care, YOU DO THIS!
Remember thou!! THEY ORIGINATE FROM FINLAND!!
