Whiskers in the Wind
A downloadable Mausritter setting
Whiskers in the Wind invites you into the enchanting and mysterious world of Whiskerwind Hollow, a setting for Mausritter where small creatures undertake grand adventures amidst lush meadows, ancient groves, dark forests, and hidden faerie realms. Mice live in harmony in places like Marigold and Olive Nest, while strange forces linger from the shadowed corners of Dyer’s Fall and the eerie depths of Lagoturvo, to the dark cemetery of Crowburgh.
As players explore, they’ll encounter unique factions, from the magical Creekside Circle to the elusive Bramble Syndicate, and uncover magical spells, curious artefacts, and formidable foes.

I haven't thoroughly reviewed the rules yet, but I must admit that the art style captivated me, leading me to purchase it without a second thought.
Well enjoy! In terms of rules, this uses the core Mausritter rules, so you can follow those as you play through the Whiskerwind Hollow setting.
Thank you for your introduction. I hope to translate it into Chinese for my game, so I would like to know if there is a plain text version available. If so, that would be fantastic and very helpful for my
I don’t have a plain text version available, but if you want to do an official, published translation, then contact me here and we can discuss a deal.
