It's called Nifflas and I found it on the Wizards boards.  Light Dragon, Cataclysmic Crow, Silvercat Moonpaw, Kindling, Luminous Crayon, and Salacious Angel - I think you guys in particular would like this stuff, though frankly any world-builder would probably appreciate it.  It lists Un Lun Dun as one of its major influences (and it really shows), as well as Rice Boy, Dresden Codak, Shadow of the Colossus, and the Edge Chronicles, amongst lots of other great things.

Anyway, I was quite enthralled, haven't finished it yet, but thought you guys must see it, because it's pretty brilliant.  Yet another setting on the long list I'd love to game in...

SilvercatMoonpaw

Yeah, I saw it when it was starting.  I thought it was interesting but ultimately more weird than I was looking for.  I think the great difficulty in interest for me is that it's type of weird did not keep me hooked reading; it would be better if the entire setting could be somehow conveyed visually.
I'm a muck-levelist, I like to see things from the bottom.

Llum

I seen it before I met the CBG iirc. It's the setting that inspired me to start Prismatic. I've read the first 10-11 pages of the thread. Pretty slick stuff.

Edge chronicles ftw.

Nomadic

Likewise for me, I saw it before I joined theCBG. Very awesome setting.
