What it is about
An Expansion for Beneath the Tall Grass When the Leaves Turn is a cozy autumn expansion for Beneath the Tall Grass, a solo village-building journaling RPG set in a tiny garden world. Please note that this expansion requires the base game Beneath the Tall Grass to play. Autumn has arrived in the garden, and life beneath the tall grass is beginning to change. Your Pebbin village is entering a new season filled with falling leaves, cozy everyday moments, curious discoveries, and preparations for the colder days ahead. But autumn brings more than changing weather. Beyond the familiar paths, enormous orange shapes have appeared among the plants. Closer to the Giants' home, strange webs stretch across unexpected places, mysterious objects appear, and the world above the grass seems to be preparing for something rather unusual. What could it all mean to creatures as small as the Pebbins? Explore two new areas, follow six seasonal Story Quests, and discover 40 new exploration encounters as your Pebbins investigate the mysteries of autumn. Back in the village, the new Autumn Village Life Table introduces seasonal events into your regular gameplay, bringing changing nature, cozy activities, and new storytelling opportunities to your growing community. And some moments may become something more. With the new Autumn Traditions system, your Pebbins can turn memorable experiences into their very own seasonal customs. Create traditions, decide how they are celebrated, and record the stories behind them in the included Autumn Tradition Journal. Continue the story of your existing village, discover what fall looks like from a Pebbin's perspective, and add a little cozy Halloween magic to your tiny garden world. Write, draw, or simply follow the prompts and see where the dice take you.
