Session pitch - Crawler Beyond The Stone:
Stonespire Marsh, named for the eponymous boulder at its center, is home to reclusive, sun-basking lizards. One day, amidst the muck and mud, they uncovered an entrance to the Stonespire itself, and their demeanor changed. They opened their island, speaking to visitors about a ""Second Sun.” They promise sanctuary and shelter the lost and needy, ""The Second Sun brings warmth and prosperity to all it shines upon."" However, pilgrims that enter the Stonespire never seem to leave again. What are High Priest Zon and the lizard cult up to? It's time for your brave mice to crawl beyond the stone and investigate what's really going on in Stonespire Marsh!
About Mausritter:
The settled mice huddle together, hidden in their settlements in trees and burrows and walls, scraping and saving. A tenuous existence. You are not like those settled mice. By choice or by necessity you are an adventurer. You live by your luck, your smarts, your bravery. With your friends by your side, you will abandon the warmth and safety of the mouse settlements and venture forth into the dark and dangerous places where other mice do not dare to tread. There is great wealth to be found by those that are willing to take it.
It's a huge and dangerous world out there. It does not look kindly on a small mouse. But if you are very brave and very clever and just a bit lucky, you might be able to survive. And if you survive long enough, you might even become a hero amongst mice."
This game will be great if you like Redwall, The Rescuers, The Hobbit, Over The Hedge, Thumbelina, OSR style RPGs
We will build Level 1 characters in the session. Character creation is lightning-quick and involves just a few random rolls. We'll do this together at the start of the session. If you've played Mausritter before and want to bring an existing character, contact me upfront to discuss.
This session will be especially good for new players.
