As you know I very much enjoy the Sword-and-whiskers role-playing game Mausritter.
Recently Isaac Williams together with Games Omnivorous released a physical box of the game (that used to be PDF only for a long time).
I just got the box in the mail so let’s have a quick look at it together!

I’ve written before concerning the house rules I use when I play with my son.
I am also running a Dolmenwood campaign right now and here are the house rules we run with.
The first one is inspired by the house rule I have when playing with my kid: Crits! (They’re fun) We will be using the crit and fumble tables from Dungeon Crawl Classics
(LotFP inspired) Knocked out on 0 HP. Death on -3 in 1d10 rounds no saves. Death instantaneous on -4.
Acending Armour Class.
(LotFP inspired) Heal 1 HP for nights rest, 1d3 for days rest.
Shields Shall be Splintered - sacrifice a shield to block all damage from one single hit.
Buy back dead characters XP (for the players new one) if they spend 1 GP per XP on the funeral.
The Specialist Class from Lamentations of the Flame Princess (instead of the OSE thief and skills)
Wrestling from Ten Foot Polemic’s House Rule Document.
Spell failure from B/X Options.
… will be adding to this list as more things come up.
Our youngest was sleeping so my wife joined in with my eldest son for our first session in Dolmenwood. We had such a fantastic time.

Happy to see that people have been enjoying Thistle Kingdom zine!
The Order of the Green Mice gets mentioned in Berpyle, another Mausritter zine by ManaRampMatt.
I recommend checking out the zine (the alternative character sheets are very nice).
Further he put up a mouse from the Order as an entry to the Mausritter Monday art competition.
Originally from the Thistle Kingdom, Basil took up life in the Order of Green Mice. He became a tender of the flower gardens of the orchard. After several seasons, he took a post in Bernpyle at the new Order orchard there. #mausritter #tavernmice @isaacwilliams @gamesomnivorous pic.twitter.com/KQS7e00KKd

White Box - Fantastic Medieval Adventure Game is an OD&D clone written by Charlie Manson.
I discovered it recently via Path Peculiar’s twitter. He displays some nice previews of the book, so linking the tweet here.
I love this iteration of #DnD. It’s so streamlined and elegant. This book can do pretty much everything I want in a D&D campaign. #ttrpg pic.twitter.com/d3sHwfyas0

I am happy to present something I have been working on for a while: my first tabletop roleplaying zine!
Here I’ll list the different adventures we have run in our OSR and Mausritter campaign.
Our OSR campaign.
Mausritter seem to inspire a lot of crafts. These tokens we drew for our characters.
Character tokens for Mausritter
Hand drawn mice (color copied and printed) on white paper, we wrapped them around cardboard and then used some plastic stand from a board game we own.
Been on the lookout for some good models, if you know of any let me know

Barrow’s Green is a massive stretch of of green hilly plains north of the Gray Lake. On these plains a small outpost is located that goes by the same name, the Barrow’s Green Outpost. The plains are named after the many ancient barrows that cover the landscape.
It’s a very rural area with small population of farmers, hunters and homesteaders.
It stands under the protection of the noble house Oldwode and they, lead by the young Baron Nicholai, operate the keep and marketplace in Barrow’s Green Outpost.
Expanding on the Mausritter bank-lore. The banking system is only mentioned very briefly in the rulebook so I am fleshing it out.
