Did you know @mallenhall.com has a live crowdfunding campaign for a Mausritter setting? I've seen bits of it, and it's really good. Also, fantastic art. 🐭⚔️
🐭 Mausritter Month 🐭
Today, featuring M. Allen Hall @mallenhall.com The Baron's Grip. A campaign setting for Mausritter where the antagonist is one big bad badger - the Baron of course - with a taste for tyranny. Player mice must set out to in search of allies to free the land from its influence.

This game design activity is silly, but fun and teaches some lessons about theme vs. mechanism. Rolling up JUNGLE VIKINGS, SKELETON DETECTIVES, and FROG RACING will never not be funny to me.
Another hands-on I covered during yesterday's webinar!

Missed the webinar I did yesterday on "How to run a tabletop game design workshop at your library" for the Indiana State Library?
No problem! It was recorded and will be up on YouTube in about a week. I gave 5 things you can do to make your workshop a success.
