2024 Character Creation Challenge: Mausritter
Mausritter is a tabletop RPG that you play a small mouse adventurer in a dangerous world. The rules are simple - only 10 pages, There rest are an example of play, lists of weapons and tools, bestiary, random table for character creation and master resources, It has a pay what you want digital edition that you can check it out freely.
Character generation is randomized, so it's very fast. I throw dice to decide the name, appearance, background, starting equipments, and attributes. There's an official online character generator. It has a physical card based inventory system. You can put items squares into the limited slots. Some heavy items need two slots, If you exceed your inventory limit, the character can't run and will be at disadvantage at rolls. So it's a hard choice what to keep. Items can be used up too.
Magic is rare and dangerous in the world of Mausritter. It often requires a quest to obtain spells. The mice have to hold the magic tablet to cast spell, so each spell will eat away your inventory slot. Like other items, magic tablets have limited use. The way to replenish magic is demanding. For example, the way to replenish the fireball is to "Burn in the heart of a raging fire for three days and nights"
My mouse adventurer Brynn Danger was a message runner before turning into an adventurer. She is a stubborn but charming, and loves to tell colourful stories about her exploits that may or may not be true. She is looking for a missing mouse to deliver her last letter.
