Publisher's blurb (using original title, Triffles: Abandoned Space):
Forgotten, lost or left behind, hidden by time or design, they are the overgrown structures, the lonely reaches and the haunted depths - past futures which perhaps never were, and may now never be. Disused, derelict or ruined, they fester, flake and fade, but do they lie quiet - or unquiet? What lies in wait? Reordering, remade, reemergent..? Do any dare discover?
Triffles: Abandoned Space is a tool designed to support the development of narratives set in and around this location type.
Compatible with a wide variety of fictional genres and game systems, and suitable for use by writers, roleplayers and tabletop gamers in general, it has applications in character creation, for scenario, adventure and campaign design and in the generation of events and interactions in the course of games.
