Rolled a 4. I wanted to make my own reaction table. I like them. I spent half an hour looking at reaction tables and then the next morning made my own without looking at them again. I didn’t want to reinvent the wheel but also wanted to make my own. It’s a 2d6 table cause …
From the cover of Mausritter. … well, my game at least. I’ve been staying at a holiday home on the coast this week. My little family and another little family. Four adults and two little people. It is probably unsurprising that with two babies who don’t love sleeping in the house we didn’t have a …

I suppose I should talk a little about character creation. They can use the Player’s Handbook. That’s it. That’s the blog. Not really. There is a little more to this.
