A halfling mafia boss looking to sell protection.

Gappy Whirligig is an industrious gnome who has yet to reach the Age of Tinkering.

But when Gappy finds himself suddenly alone in the world, he decides to leave Hubintegler’s rules and regulations behind as he seeks to make his mark in the seedy city of Planoontik.

Now, he must find a place to set up shop, manage governmental bureaucracy, use the Rent-A-Friend service, and wrestle with the local halfling mafia (known as the Halfia) as they incessantly try to destroy his business.

On top of that, Gappy ends up hiring an oversized orc who has a fierce appetite for pizza, and that ain’t cheap.
