It matters not who you fight, but who you fight for. Join the brave and valiant Mouse Guard in an adventure to protect the mouse territories and the mice within them! Explore a forest and its larger-than-life dangers through the eyes of a small mouse, armed with a only sword and your wits! Triumph, justice, and heroics await! Beginners welcome! Characters will be created together as a group. Based on the award-winning comic series Mouse Guard! The Mouse Guard RPG utilizes a simplified version of the Burning Wheel system. No prior knowledge of Mouse Guard or Burning Wheel is required to play! The mice struggle to live safely and prosper among all of the world's harsh conditions and predators. Thus the Mouse Guard was formed. After persevering against a weasel warlord in the winter war of 1149, the territories are no longer as troubled. True, the day to day dangers exist, but no longer are they Guard soldiers, instead they are escorts, pathfinders, weather watchers, scouts and body guards for the mice who live among the territories. Many skills are necessary for the guard to keep the borders safe. They must find new safeways and paths from village to village, lead shipments of goods from one town to another and, in case of attack, guard against all evil and harm to their territories. 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 Guard patrols borders, finds safeways and paths through dangerous territories and treacherous terrain, watches weather patterns, and keeps the mouse territories free of predators. They do so with fearless dedication so that they might not just exist, but truly live. RULES FOR ATTENDING: Proof of COVID vaccination is required at EVERY EVENT.
