About this deal

Having been actively involved in the hobby for over a quarter century I've owned a lot of games but this is without a doubt one of the very best. The second part of the chapter examines the character sheet of our first sample mouse, Sadie, line by line. The types of missions, as well as the obstacles experienced during them, are shaped by the Season, and the rule book spends a considerable number of pages explaining how the seasons shape the lives and duties of the guardmice, as well as the mouse territories in general.

Based on that success, Archaia Studio Press decided to release a deluxe box set which contains updates the rules and repackages the game to be even more friendly for those new to RPGs. Incidentally, the book's dimensions are square which makes it a bit unusual to place on a shelf, but it's done for a specific reason: the book exactly matches the comic and graphic novels' dimensions, fitting perfectly next to them on a shelf.The Player’s take over after the GM is finished throwing Obstacles at them, and can do a range of activities from recovering and reequipping themselves to fighting one another.

He then finds the remains of a former master, obtains the dead master's weapon, and rejoins his companions Sadie and Kenzie and discover a way back to Lockhaven through an underground river that runs into Darkheather. MG has a small number of skills, like Administrator and Apiarist, to Fighter and Militarist, to Orator and Persuader. In addition, the way characters are defined also help to create very clear, evocative characters whose past, present, and future (in terms of goals) are laid out during character creation.

They embark as ambassadors for Gwendolyn in an attempt to unite the Mouse Territories and aid Lockhaven throughout the winter, for the home of the Guard Mice is short on supplies. While Guard members Saxon, Kenzie and Lieam were tracking the path of the grain merchant, Gwendolyn has sent word to another of the Guard, Sadie. He nearly succeeds in killing Gwendolyn but is thwarted by the timely arrival of Celenawe, who fights Midnight while Lieam frees himself and fights alongside Saxon, Kenzie and Sadie against Midnight's followers. Three months after Lieam's disappearance, the mice face threats from predators which have come out of hibernation. They are not simply soldiers that fight off intruders; rather, they are guides for the common mice looking to journey without confrontation from one hidden mouse village to another.

The only trick is that players need to learn to actively work as a team, something that may take a couple of conflicts to get the hang of, but within a session or two everyone I've ever played the game with gets it. In fact, the first sample mission is a recreation of the events that take place during the Fall 1152 in which three guardmice set out to find a missing grain peddler. Your Alert mouse is more likely to spot an intruder, but is vulnerable to fits of paranoia and anxiety. Mouse Guard (MG) is built on the same basic, well-tested mechanics as those used in Burning Wheel and Burning Empires, but is a much more refined and streamlined system. The book also details three more locations within the Mouse Territories, providing both game "stats" as well as a variety of story hooks.Released originally in 2008 as a hard cover version (a PDF version is also available), it promptly won several design awards and received almost universally positive reviews.
