I was asked to run a one-off mouse guard session for some friends who have never roleplayed before. What fun!
I found the existing character sheets a bit overwhelming, so I stripped out everything to do with character progression (since it was a one off) and made the bits that would give players the best roleplay cues (the traits, the beliefs and the picture) as big as possible. Here’s the result:

I also decided to make some custom dice for the game and set about designing those. I designed some mouse portraits for the success sides (with a gnarled veteran mouse for the 6) and left the coward sides blank, to keep things as simple as possible. I then printed the designs on sticky paper and attached them to blank dice. Here’s the result:

If these bits are useful to anyone, you can find the photoshop master files here, along with some more samples and all the fonts used in the mouseguard RPG book!
