The game is described as "Wainscot UrbanFantasy"; it is set in the modern world, but the [[PlayerCharacter PCs]] are "Small Folk", [[{{Lilliputians}} (very) tiny humanoids]] who live behind the walls and in the undergrowth. They are descended from TheFairFolk of legend, who were in fact [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve psychic projections of the human racial unconscious]], but they were always small, and now they have gone into hiding as the world has moved on. They live largely by scavenging the by-products of human society.

* FairyCompanion: Small Folk are supposed to shun human attention, especially these days, but there are hints that some human "magicians" actually had the aid of one or more of these beings.

* HouseFey: The brownies ''used'' to fulfill this role, and their magical tricks still reflect that tradition, but nowadays they're a bunch of yuppie wannabes.

* GripingAboutGremlins: Played with, in that there is a clique of gremlins -- but they are generally more interested in doing cool stuff with technology than with sabotaging it.
* HandWave: Fate points, which are normally used to as a game-level device for influencing the story, also power more dramatic uses of magic. This is handwaved wit the idea that magic runs partly on how significant the user is to the universe, somehow.

* BusmansVocabulary: Brownies tend to talk in a parody of human business jargon ''all the time'', if the GM or players can sustain this.

* LittlePeople: Very little people -- actually {{Lilliputians}} -- as is the point of the set-up.

* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: Probably the origin of the Small Folk -- they are said to have originally been created by human belief -- although now they reproduce in the more conventional biological way. However, they do still disappear in a puff of smoke when they die.

* FairyTale: Invoked with some irony. The cliques and many of their abilities and magical powers are derived from fairy stories and [[OralTradition folklore]], but with a humorous or modern twist.
