Sword-and-whiskers

role-playing
Take up the sword and don the whiskers of
a brave mouse adventurer in Mausritter,
the sword-and-whiskers fantasy adventure
role-playing game.
It’s a huge and dangerous world out there, and
it does not look kindly on a small mouse. But if
you are very brave and very clever and just a
bit lucky, you might be able to survive.
And if you survive long enough, you might even
become a hero amongst mice.
