"Session pitch - The Shattered Oak:
The syrup-making mice of Maplemoor have lost contact with their garrison in Oakhollow Keep, a lightning-hollowed stump vital to the colony’s security. What happened there? What threats remain? And what secrets yet lie in the keep? Tread carefully and think creatively, for the very traps and defenses that hinder your investigation may yet be used against your foes…
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 who 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 OSR-style RPGs, Redwall, The Rescuers, The Hobbit, Over The Hedge, and Thumbelina.
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.
