Mouse Guard

 
 

Shannon is running one Mouse Guard adventure that will introduce us to the Burning Wheel system. Since it's only going to be a few sessions  I guess I'll keep everything to one page.


Session 1 (Mar 12, 2016) - Character Generation


Eric - patrol leader, thinker

Dave S - patrol guard, last survivor of his patrol, bitter

Donald - tenderfoot, heavy armor girl

Kevin - patrol guard, run away type, mentor's Donald's character, Eric's and my characters were on the same patrol team previously


It's a step by step chargen with lots of "what would your character do or what does your character think about this?" sort of questions.


Combat was a bit tedious and long. You put down three cards for your team's next three actions, which I think needs at least three people in the team (we had two teams of two). Also there's a rather rock-paper-scissors quality to the card play. And it was long because it too forever to nickel and dime the other side to 0 hits.


I've been reading the comics since and at least know I understand all the choices we were making. It would have helped to know this world background before making a character.
