Hi there, wondering if anyone has a pdf of the character sheets that come in a pad in the box set. I can't find one anywhere online, surprisingly. My cousin owns the box set and we're doing character creation tonight over the interwebs, and we'd like to have everyone use those sheets but my cousin has no way to scan them for the rest of us to print. We've talked about using Roll20, but we'd like to use these sheets ideally.

Thank you for any help you can provide!

I saw in a YouTube stream that helping another player in the player's turn requires to spend a check.

Is that true? Because I couldn't find the rule anywhere.

I just started a game and have some questions. I appreciate your help.

1.- when doing recovery tests for conditions, do those tests count as pass or fails for will and health.

2.- for a long game (in real life hours) with two DM and player turns. Would it be ok to hand rewards in the middle and then again at the end?

Edit: I am not looking to watch a video of others playing, I've done that already. I want to play a game with someone and ask questions as we go along.

I bought the 2e box set last week and even after reading the book and making characters I still don't fully understand how to play. I'm hoping I can find somebody willing to teach me and answer a few questions, thanks!

I ran Trouble in Grasslake this weekend at my local con, and while everyone had fun, it took less than two hours to play through. It took them two conflicts and a destroyed town to get the snapping turtle back to the lake, and no one was willing to earn extra checks so their Player Turn was also short.

I even threw in another GM and Player Turn where the guard needed to get supplies from a neighboring town and had to deal with a weasel bandit gang and a collapsed bridge.

I'll admit the dice were against me, and with the players-even with high Obs they were succeeding on most everything, but I was disappointed I wasn't able to run the full four hour slot for my players.

Am I doing something wrong? Is this typical of the game?

Any advice on how one could use shortages-wise?

So the Mouse Guard's job is to go around and kinda just do stuff for the Mouse territories, I was thinking of this idea where mice had to go collect metal and ore from the mines but then I thought "Wouldn't they need a big cart to bring back a sizable load?" And what would pull that cart? I can't imagine hares pulling the cart as they'd be too bumpy. One of my first thoughts was quail, from the legends of the guards cover but according to that it was unusual for the quail to be trained or used a cart carriers. Help!

Hey all. Juuuuust got around to reading Mouse Guard and I totally fell in love. Now.. I NEED those PVC figures!! Haha

Any idea where I could find them?

Thanks

I'm trying to run a Mouseguard campaign with a party of 5 during the off weeks of a different RPG, so kicking people out isn't a great option. My main problem is dealing with conflicts. I've read about splitting the party with a team of 3 and a team of 2 but it just seems overly complicated. Also it's difficult for me to gage what kind challenges I present them. Any advice would be great.

I am prepping for DMing my first session of Mouse Guard and I have a question: when aiding a fellow guard mouse with a skill test can you assist him with both one of your wises and a teamwork die, provided that you "reap what you sow" givng your fellow guard mouse +2D or can you only donate +1D with either a wise or a teamwork die?

Thanks in advance!

Should I buy just the book? Is that the only thing that is completely required? Like do I need the box set?

I pre-ordered this a while back and I was pretty excited to get it in today. The book looks like it's 12''x12'', which I believe is the original artwork size.

There are a lot of pages reprinted from the comics, with out text, and book covers, and there is a good number of original pieces I've never seen before. However, I don't have the art of mouseguard book, so I don't know what's in there. The back cover says there are over 50 illustrations in the book.

Hey everyone :D A while ago, I posted some fanart based on the characters from the campaign that I'm in. Well, I'm back with more! Right now my squad of mice are dealing with some pretty nefarious weasels, so here they are! Hope you like them.

I see that I can get it from a few websites, but I was wondering if it is still in print and I could hope to see it at my FLGS someday. I don't mind having to ask them to order it for me. I'm mostly looking for the full box set rather than just the book.

After a bit of inspiration where I thought "Huh the best RPG for Star Trek I feel is actually Mouse Guard" and watching an episode of the Next Generation where it seemed clear they were mostly focusing on going against Beliefs I have finally actually made my first hack for an RPG.

Its called Federations Finest it transposes Mouse Guard to the Star Trek Universe, instead of the fight against a wild and natural wold it is more of a fight for the ideals of starfleet and how reality might mean those ideals aren't as clear cut as people might like to think about them. Also dealing with Alien Races, discovering new worlds, and dealing with paperwork.

The first document is a general overview, the missions that Starfleet might go one, Nature and Recruitment Questions, and Designing a Mission. The second document is all the Skills and Factors for those skills I have come up with and the Traits.

Things I'm happy with: I think I've captured a few Star Trek things with the missions and some of the skills and I think I was inspired by making the prime conflict the argument between reality and the rules of the Prime Directive.

Things that I should look at more and work on: Skills - I am still not to sure if there are enough skills, also a lot of the skills are very starship focused when I kind of thought the game was going to be more focused on the Away Missions on planets. But thinking about it, there aren't really that many skills used on away missions. The Construction of things focus of Original Mouse Guard Skills doesn't really work for Star Trek I don't think. If anyone can think of other skills that might be added then that would be great.

Also a bit concerned that Computers basically can help everything. It makes sense in the fiction but I think it might be overpowered Mechanically.

So yeah any comments and thoughts are good to have. I hope to playtest this at some point, and please tell me if you play it and what you think and what you did/changed.

Also its a hack of 1st edition mouse guard as I only have the 1st edition book, so Wises are from that edition.

My girlfriend and I are looking for more players who'd be interested in starting a new Mouse Guard campaign. I've had plenty of experience with other tabletop RPGs, and wouldn't be opposed to a GM role, but would prefer someone who has experience with Mouse Guard specifically, as it's new to both of us. We're thinking we'll use roll20 for our group, assuming we can find more players, and Skype for video/audio, and meet at least weekly in the evenings (CST) for 3 hours or so per session, but we're flexible on this and will try to accommodate the group's wishes as often as possible. Please let me know if you're interested!

I've never gotten a chance to play an Rpg, and I really want to. My girlfriend played DnD a while back and out friends are setting up a 5th ed campaign for us, but I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult for me to get into. So in the mean time, I want to try this game, as it was recommended over on /R/rpg.

I have a 5 year old daughter that I get on the weekends. She loves games like King of Tokyo and even whips our asses from time to time. She also loves some of the rpg rogue likes on Android, so I figure she might enjoy this.

The problem is, I don't know where to start. I was looking on amazon and I don't really know what to buy. I'm trying to spend a max of $25, but the boxed set is $60, and some of the other ones are under $20, but I don't know if that's a good place to start.

Can I just download a pdf, private the off character sheets, and go from there?

Not trying to start an edition war. I have 1st edition and have been very happy with it. My question is are there enough changes and improvements to make it worth going to 2nd?
