Mouse Guard Roleplaying Game Box Set, 2nd Ed.

Product Information

Mouse Guard is set in a world of sapient mice who live in a medieval era, paralleling the same age in human history, though in their world there are no humans. Its stories revolve around a brotherhood of mice known as the "Mouse Guard" who have sworn an oath to serve their fellow civilian mice in times of need, including making safe passage for them through the wilderness and protecting them from predators. [1] The Beginner Box is a simplified ruleset that, like The Red Box, provides an excellent introduction to the hobby. It contains everything that you need to play and a little bit more. You should be aware that The Beginner Box is an introductory product and does not contain the complete rules. Players that enjoy the game will need to upgrade to the core rulebook at some point. That aside, it is a much more friendly and affordable introduction than the core rulebook is.

The system also differentiates between two levels of resolution: Tests and Conflicts. Tests are simple, single roll task resolution in which the number of successes is compared either to a target number based on the difficult of the task Ob (in MG terms, the obstacle's difficulty or "Ob" of the task), or to an opposing character's number of successes. The number of success beyond the Ob, or over your opponent's number, determines the margin of success. It's a very intuitive and elegant system that handles situations like untrained skills and teamwork in a very satisfying way. Petersen, David (August 2006). Mouse Guard, issue #4. Fort Lee, NJ: Archaia Studios Press. pp.from the inside front cover. ISBN 1-932386-23-8. Mouse Guard: Fall 1152 is the title given to the first six-issue mini-series in its collected form.Role-playing is a lot of different things to a lot of different people, but most of us can agree that it all comes down to imagining something with a group of people. When you sit around a table with some friends and take on the roles of characters that exist only in your shared imagination then you're role-playing. Traditionally the way we go about doing this is to designate one person as the Guide to lead the game and control things behind the scenes while the remaining players take turns describing how they interact with the world that the Guide manages. There are other ways to handle this, but that is beyond the scope of this guide. Pathfinder rivals D&D 5e in the number of players that enjoy it regularly. Its roots lie in the previous edition of D&D and it maintains a similar playstyle. Much like D&D, Pathfinder enjoys a lively and widespread community with plenty of organized events to attend.

Each character has an overriding belief, an immediate goal, and an instinct that guides them, all with mechanical weight.

Look over the character sheet. You can learn a lot from a game’s character sheet. Take a look at what sections need to be filled out and then look them up in the rules. Sometimes it’s easier to work on something in small pieces. Guide isn't the only title for the person that leads the game. Each game likes to give this position a unique title and over the years this person has been called a Storyteller, Dungeon Master, Game Master, Administrator, Referee, Director, Master of Ceremonies, and a few dozen other titles. For the purposes of this guide, we are going to call them a Guide because that’s what they do, they guide the other players through the experience. Do not start off-topic/out of character conversations within the thread/chat of the game. Use a separate thread/channel/window. The book is rounded out by extensive descriptions of the skills and traits available to characters, as well as a set of sample missions which illustrate different types of missions. Each of these missions is accompanied by four pre-generated characters so that players can jump right into the action. 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. I've run a couple of the sample missions and would recommend anyone new to the game do the same since they provide a good overview of how to structure a mission and how the characters' abilities interact with the mission's obstacles. It's also quite interesting how what appears to be a simply mission can develop in to a fully developed story - I've had a few rather amazing story lines develop from the "Grain Peddler" mission, none of which resembled each other at all once we moved beyond the initial mission's set-up. The last chapter, as mentioned earlier, is a detailed explanation of character generation and is perhaps the best written chapter in the entire book. Doctor Who comes with the complete rulebook, which is written in a casual and concise way and features a simple, yet flexible, set of rules. The box set contains everything that you will ever need to play the game, but the crown jewel is a set of introductory adventures with step by step advice for first time Guides. Even better, the adventure booklet also contains numerous adventure “seeds” to get a fledgling Guide started on creating their own adventures. The rules also de-emphasize violence as a solution to problems and instead encourages negotiation and wits.

Other LFG subs:The Mouse Guard Box Set takes what was easily one of the best roleplaying games made and builds upon it to create a fantastic product. Rich and detailed enough for even the most seasoned roleplaying fanatic, the game still manages to be very approachable for someone completely new to roleplaying. The game's layout and style work equally well for either group and I would not hesitate to recommend the set for someone wanting to get into the hobby.
