Years ago in the barren valley, workers tunneled and toiled and extracted near endless hauls of valuable ores from the mine. Further surveys were made, and plans were drafted for more and more tunnels through the earth. Equipment failed. Workers went unpaid. Mice went missing. Weeks of quota vanished without a trace.

Now, the mine lies dormant. Deed-holders cast blame about sabotage. Rumors circulate of poisonous gasses and mice gone mad. Interlopers rummage around in the remains. A former mining town dwindles into obscurity. And in the deep wound of the earth, writhing in slag and runoff, something slithers, crawls, then steps upward.

Masuritter is a rules-light RPG system where you play as a band of mice exploring a huge world and (hopefully) living to tell the tale. It encourages careful and clever planning, applying real-world logic to tackle problems, and open-ended scenarios what could go any number of ways.

Stragglers is a scenario I've written myself and run multiple times, where the players are tasked with retrieving valuables from a less-than-abandoned mine.

The Tomb of the Serpent Kings. Everyone knows the lands around here were ruled by a snake-man empire in ancient times, but a goat-herd came back saying that she'd found one of their tombs. For most people, that was a warning.

For you? Riches and glory glittered in your eyes.

It'll be dangerous, which is why you've brought along allies. And a few of the local folk to watch your horses and maybe carry things. Before you lies a tunnel leading into the hillside, the long grass that obscured it pulled away.

The priests of the Temple of the Peerless Star in Ambaret have declared a holy night, an action they haven’t taken for over thirty years, ever since Rahmet ils Nar, the star they worship, visibly dimmed from a bright, fiery white to a dull, sickly yellow. No one knows why they declared the holy night after so long, but the faithful are taking advantage of a rare opportunity to nourish their connection to the Peerless Star, pouring into the temple’s main sept by the dozens in order to receive blessings from the star priests.

You, on the other hand, are here for treasure.
