Mouse Guard is SO charming with such an interesting aesthetic and world and with so much potential to be an epic story. But it seems that almost nobody knows the comic and less the RPG. And it seems that everyone who sees it thinks it is for young children, only. I am 30 years old and I love it.
Curioso viniendo de un gato hmm

Soy un gato domestico, mascota, y uno muy mimado (por algo tengo el pelo tan suave). Supongo que mis instintos de caza estan sublimados en un interes o gusto muy fuerte por estos ratones >:3
Por otro lado, es un poco triste que el manual de rol parezca estar tan enfocado en ser un juego para niños. Sé que el aspecto o estilo de dibujo facilmente podría hacer pensar a algún padre que "esto debe ser un mundo de fantasía para niños" lo mismo con el juego de rol... y por esa idea seguramente es por la que en el manual de rol se hizo el sistema casi carente de riesgos... así como esta hecho el sistema tu no puedes morir, en el peor de los casos y con muy malas tiradas tan solo puede ocurrir "un giro de trama inconveniente"... el mundo de Mouse Guard es uno de personas viviendo en una civilización similar al principio de la era de hierro, antes del feudalismo cuando habían solo ciudades estado, pero un mundo lleno de "monstruos gigantes", si haces un sistema tan carente de riesgos se pierde mucho de lo emocionante del mundo, además se ven a varios personajes en los comics que les falta una pierna o un ojo, lo cual es logico en ese mundo en el que viven, pero el manual no tiene reglas para aplicar la posibilidad de perdida de partes del cuerpo... a no ser que interpretes el "giro inconveniente de trama" como la perdida de un brazo o pierna pero ahí ya estarías forzando las reglas porque las reglas no tienen nada de efectos permanentes, ¿Y como aplicarías a nivel de tirada de dados o números la falta de un brazo o pierna, o la falta de un ojo? Quedaría como algo meramente estetico. Y eso que nada más en las primeras paginas del primer comic se ve a un ratón que muere, aunque no se muestra, pero poco después si que se ve a un personaje comido/mordido por una serpiente y a esa serpiente ser apuñalada en la cabeza desde dentro, y poco después se ve a otro personaje, Conrad, morir comido por cangrejos.
@@-18 Una interesante Review señor suave, desconocía que no existía la capacidad de morir en este sistema.
Mouse Guard proofs that simplicity doesn't mean lack of depth. It's lazer focused on its premise.
Your channel deserves way more subscribers. Your reviews are top notch.
Ryan Renken Thanks for saying that!
Totally agree with Ruan.@@DaveThaumavore, thank you so much for such a great reviews and level of care
+1. the quality of these videos is completely insane
Algorithm might be against him... 😔
Fantastic video Dave! Came here from the ICRPG Forums. You have a new sub! I've been learning this game the past two weeks and this is a really good overview. Nice work.
One small error: in order to level up a skill, the player needs a number of successes EQUAL to it's rating and a number of failures equal to the rating MINUS 1. (Ex: to raise your Scout 3 skill, you will need 3 successes and 2 failures.)
Scott Leland Yes! I found this error last night. It drives me nuts but at least this comment is here. I think I’ll add the correction in the video description. Thanks, Scott!
I know this is an old video but I'd love your thoughts on Mausritter and how it's OSR simplicity compares to Mouse Guard.
Such a huge fan of Mouse Guard RPG, much easier system to work with compared to Burning Wheel but still gives that great character development.
Jason Kirkner Yeah, it’s extremely well-executed.
Mouse Guard! I've been looking at that for my kids, but we ended up going DnD 5e just because I know it.
Winston Pope Mouse Guard is cuter ;)
Weeeell, nothing's stopping ya from doing a mouseguard themed DnD campaign.
Will take some tweaking, but will work.
One of my all-time favorite systems to run, and my favorite for running for children.
This is easily one of my favorite games. Great review!
I had problems loading it a few weeks back. Glad things smoothed out.
You really helped me with your review! Definitely recommending your channel to friends.
Best overview I have seen. Very helpful as a refresher before running a game with my kids again. Good work appreciate it! And good call on acknowledging the skill level increase mistake. Glad you identified that.
Because of this a MG Video game is more than possible by this point~
I Loved this Rpg. My group has been playing this for multiple years now. We have even homebrewed the Setting, a bit. We've added a Great amount.
Great description of this marvelous game. Thanks. I will share it with new players before we game!
This review really made me want to play the game. Thank you!
This was very helpful, I haven't played in a long time and needed to introduce it to new players
Just ordered this a few days ago. Really excited about trying to run this with my kids!¨ Great review!
Where did you order from?
Reviews are so dope!! You do so well! Thank you ! And please more content when you got time!;
The book is square because the comic series were also square.
Honestly just by the book to look at the picture
I have this game on my shelf but haven't played it yet.
Hey Dave would you mind doing a review on "risus" A very easy RPG that I wish to begin playing with my mum and dad, because of its easy start and mechanics.
Regards!
Great review
Is Mouse Guard avaible in german too? I would love to get the mouse guard rpg box set, does any1 know where I could get it in german if its avaible somehow?
Kinda like Redwall×D&D
What do you think the difficulty rating of this would be if it were on bgg?
Out of the games I’ve read and played, I’d say this one ranks as a 6/10 in difficulty.
❤🤘💯
This system is so different from other systems that it seems difficult to learn and play. So I have to ask: Is it difficult to learn and play ?
Rick Apocalypse That depends on the person. If all a person ever plays is D&D for thirty years, their brain plasticity for new rule paradigms would probably be low. But others in the RPG world play new games every other week and Mouse Guard is seen to them as a deeply simplified Burning Wheel.

So... Redwall?
Ehh… it’s pretty inspired, a lot of things were inspired by Jacques’ work
When it said RPG I thought it was a video game. But it’s really just a normal board game.
DISAPPOINTED!!!!
It's not a board game.
@@DaveThaumavore tabletop. I know. I mean the same thing.
Hate to break this to you but RPGs started as tabletop games and then were translated into video games much later. Most of your favourite video games are probably heavily inspired by tabletop RPGs, from the story to the themeing to the actual coding of the mechanics themself.
@@amtrak_121 Why are you even commenting on a channel that is centred around RPG's if you don't like RPG's?
