Via the Hopeless Gamer blog, comes word of a new boxed set, this one for the Mouse Guard RPG. For those not in the know, Mouse Guard is comic of anthropomorphic mice in the wilderness of medieval Europe. It's all about loyalty and intrigues, legends and betrayals, and courage and death. Heady stuff, and ripe for RPGing. The game itself is a variant of Luke Crane's Burning Wheel game. I'm not sure how much crossover potential there is here, and I doubt we'll see this box in places where we don't already expect to see RPGs (comic book stores and FLGS). Still, it promises to be a lovely box with unusual goodies in it. And, I must admit, I'm still buzzing from how the boxed set has gone so quickly from the pariah of gaming accessories to the must-have new product of the decade.

Looking forward to this one.
I have heard a lot of good about thi sone. I'm a Redwall fan and, as much as I enjoy running 1e AD&D for my kids, I'd love to run this game for the,. I'm old enough now to follow C.S. Lewis's advice about from his dedication to LW&tW:
To Lucy Barfield
My Dear Lucy,
I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realized that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. I shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand, a word you say, but I shall still be
your affectionate Godfather,
C.S. Lewis

at 40, I like fairy tales again. :)
