Realm of Bugs
A setting played at the size of an insect. Blades of grass are a forest, a puddle is a lake, and whatever people left lying in the garden has become a legendary relic.

You play the bug.
Honeybees, ants, yellow jackets, spiders and mantises are among the playable species, with more potentially joining them. Each one is a class and a species at once, with three or four subtypes. A honeybee can be a Pollinator, a Hiveguard, a Honeycrafter or a Swarm Herald.
Size works from the bug’s point of view. An ant or a honeybee counts as Medium, a mosquito is Small and a mantis is Large. Distances are measured in inches, and rests are shorter.
Titantech
The giants of this world are people, and the things they drop are Titantech: ordinary garden objects that a bug can only explain as legendary artifacts.
Cordyceps
A parasitic fungus that can take over any species. Its strains, from Zombie to Sporeheart, turn an infection into a subtype of its own.
