Away in a Manger
A downloadable adventure
This is a one-shot adventure for Mausritter set in the nativity stable after the humans have left. It includes dark magic, proselytising pilgrims, and powerful treasure.
“Away in a manger, no crib for a bed...”
You know the song and you’ve heard the story of that fateful first Christmas night in Bethlehem. But what happened to the mice living in the stable? What was left behind for the smaller stable denizens after the humans played their part in the tale?
Find out as you journey into that storied stable and meet its residents, along with some visitors from afar - pilgrims come to worship the light from the manger and a mysterious Dark Magus from the east who traps you inside with his minions.
The people have departed the stable leaving behind treasures and magic. What will you find, what secrets will you uncover, and how will you escape?

The items page seems to be A4 size. would you be so kind as to release a US letter size?
Printing the items on US letter paper usually comes out fine - the sizes end up slightly different, but the difference is negligible and they’re perfectly usable on character sheets.
That being said, I’ll see if I can produce a US letter size version. I try to avoid excess files on these things if they’re not strictly necessary, so will see what difference it makes.
Ok, I gave it a test print to "actual size" on Letter paper. it does come out fine. It's just really close to the margins.
Thank you.
Great - I’m glad it’s working for you!
This is such a cute and cool adventure just in time for Christmas. Instant purchase. Going to play tonight with the family!
That's so great to hear - I hope your family enjoys it!
