Hello fellow sickos. I’ve mostly finished my overland maps and settled on most of the animals, monsters, and factions. I’m about to start on the process of keying the locations, designing a range of encounter tables (some keyed to terrain types, others to specific locations), setting up the factions and their relationships, designing NPCs, rumours, and hooks. I would appreciate any feedback from the group. Especially anyone who has been following my progress on BlueSky.

You can find the most recent draft of Mausantara MZ01: Candi Cankuang [working title] via the link.

This is hands down one of the best five room dungeon type modules I’ve seen. It looks like a lot of fun. I’ll probably also use it in Mausritter. I’ll see if my ten anime artist will feel confident enough to help me on a second Zungeon after seeing this.

This looks very cool and is very much in line with my own interests (SEA RPGs). I’ll see about getting a copy soon.

This is absolutely amazing. It hits all the themes. Great DIY art, quick and dirty creation, a fun and interesting location with depth and interconnections between locations/encounters.

Absolutely. Anywhere you want to use nested/zoomed in hexes you could use this concept so long as you remember to follow the orientation sequence.

Of the recent Mausritter modules I've read, The Vitacernis by Brian Stauffer (with map by the ever wonderful Evlyn Moreau) stands out the most. The NPCs in particular are well developed while remaining concise, with additional seeds, rumours, and interpersonal detail which help the GM bring them, and their world alive.

Thanks. I'll credit you when I finally publish though.

A whimsical point crawl that oozes vibes from the mishmash worlds of fantasy bedtime adventure stories from byegone eras, without the trashy sexism and racism usually found in them. The sites have reasonably concise evocative descriptions with wonderfully playable linkage between them which helps the referee further bring this vibrant world to life.

The file itself has been lovingly and patiently assembled with lots of useful hyperlinking including from the map to the site descriptions and between different related sites.

Hi Ross, I love your stress system and would like to adapt and incorporate it into a setting guide I'm developing. Are there any guidelines I should follow or limits to stay within, etc.,  when doing this?

I'll buy a stack to distribute in Australia (Abdul Rahman).

The first thing I did after buying Affinity today was look for this template. Thank you.

I can't recall if I supplied my posting address for the physical copy. Was that an automatic part of backing at that tier during ZiMo?

I backed for a physical zine and am still waiting. Did I enter my address into the right place (I have no idea how things work on this site). 

The third last sentence on page twelve ends abruptly:

"If Old Pratcey is travelling with the party in the form of Jodi, no random encounters should be triggered. Instead, have Jodi attempt to learn as much as possible about the group before moving on to"

Thanks. I'll back it then. It's the first day of the new credit card cycle.I really want the physical version!

Is the funding period for all of February?

Thanks for making the PDFs freely available. I just bought the hardcover book etc and really want to print out some of those item cards.
