Re: [RPG]: Mouse Guard Roleplaying Game, reviewed by C.W.Richeson (5/5)

I am apparently one of those who the game just doesn't fit. I played in a one-shot last Wednesday night (one of the scenarios out of the book). It just... didn't feel right. It took me a while, then I think I figured it out. It was a deck of obstacle cards and a board away from being a boardgame.

The "immersive roleplaying" just didn't come through; I felt like I was spending all my time figuring out what skill to roll next in a highly tactical way.

The other members of the group loved it though. So I guess it really is a question of taste.
