Regarding cats, technically you need FORTY mice to fight them: twenty fighters, and twenty cooks, porters, armourers, etc. to maintain the warband.
I have to say, the flavor text on the cat entry is classic OSR humor. "Wants to be served. If mice pledge fealty and give bribes, they may be allowed to live."
I found your video as a recommended video and I am happy I chose to watch. Mausritter has been on my list of games to run so this video really pushed me to make that leap and run mausritter. Thank you for this awesome video!
I love the focus on small RPGs! I'll definitely watch all your stuff. So cool!
Thank you!!!
I started playing Mausritter with my two sons and I really did enjoy it. Just looked what would pop up on YT if I searched for it I ended up with your video. Thanks for your take on the matter that gave me some interesting and different perspective. Take care and bye for now
Very happy to see more Mausritter love! Really enjoyed the video essay!
Thanks so much for watching! Mausritter really deserves all the success it’s had
Great review! I hope I can find this game one day. Unfortunately it’s out of stock. Videos like this make me super excited to eventually get my hands on it!
You can buy a digital version, which comes with print-an-play components
it's back in stock
Probably my favorite video yet man but that might be my redwall bias
What can I say I know my audience
This is criminally underwatched my guy, hopefully all the ogl drama opens people's minds to other games and lead themselves to you
I’m really proud of this video, so thanks so much for watching! And yeah, while unfortunate, I really hope folks start peeling off from D&D and spending more money at Itchio!
This is why I'm here!
@@crispypotato22 lol glad to have you on! I reccomend troika!, Ironclaw 2e, mausritter (of course) and Shadowrun!
I’ll never forget running a Mausritter game. I had one hex that had mutated termites in it, they could spring and attack players on a roll of a 6 on a d6 if players searched the area. Downed one player with one hit. Scared the hell out of everyone.
Amazing video I think I’ll share this with everyone I know who wants to play it.
Wow loved the video! I’ve been on the fence as to try run this or Mouse Guard. Literally anything seems like a fantastical adventure when you’re a 2in field mouse!
I have Mouse Guard but it seems needlessly complicated to me. The comics are great though.
Mausritter is one of the first rpgs I've known since getting into the hobby and probably the first indie. Though I've never got the chance to play it yet this video makes me want to drop my other games just to play it!
Loved the video, I was perusing youtube for Mausritter content because I'm awaiting the box set in the mail. Really looking forward to running the game and making my players feel the weight of every roll again!
Splendid stuff and pleased I found you having searched for this game.
Love this analysis. Great work! Subbed!
Thank you! I don’t always manage to do the kinds of comparison I do in this video, but I definitely want to do more!
Nimh was great. I re-watched it again recently myself, and playing an TTRPG with this style and theme would be fun too. Instead of a rustic or "medieval" fantasy, it's just small clever critters, or even fairies, exploring a world much larger than themselves... (Humans obviously being Giants, figuratively and literally...)
Man. I popped on your video in the background just to get some ideas for running this game.
I ended up enraptured by your presentation and perspective here. Very well done, and now I'm so excited to ruin this game.
Nice!
Thanks for watching Batts!
I am curious whether any of the rodent themed TTRPGs encourage their PCs to get involved in human affairs.
Like after a human bandit attack gone wrong, the mice discover an important McGuffin in the wreckage of a carriage. Which human faction will they try to get it to, or how long can they keep it hidden?
If you hope one day to try Mausritter, who not do like a givaway in the channel to sort 3/5 followers to play with in a oneshot? (maybe to be uploaded on the channel, or not) ;)
Cool video!! Tks for sharing!
loved it :)
It's fine, we did need wotc anyways.
wut
Highly recommend the Mouseguard comic series + roleplaying game. Very similar!
