Oakwood - Hexcrawl adventure for Mausritter

A new battle of frogs and mice looms close! The mouse cities are in danger! Magical ruptures appear in the region, causing all sorts of weird anomalies. The owl witch hungers for magic and delicious rodents. That is where our heroic mice come in, searching for adventure…

Oakwood county envelops both banks of Oakwood River. To the south, it’s bordered by a busy road, beyond which a grand human city lies.

In the middle of Oakwood sits a large mouse city, hidden in an overgrown hillside, the Appleburgh. Ten years ago, it was founded by runaway laboratory mice from the nearby human city and became a major settlement for mouse refugees. Since then, it has grown tremendously.

But can life truly be so idyllic as it appears? A crown prince has moved into the decrepit frog fort and decided to recreate the frog kingdom. Meanwhile, an owl witch claimed the abandoned tower and is seeking the great power that lies within the magical reservoirs hidden in the area.

One night, things have gone awry. The frog prince’s attempt to summon an old frog god to borrow his power and the owl witch’s extraordinary ritual to control the local reservoirs collided. The combination of two powers caused a great magical rift, opened the veins of the earth and resulted in magic ruptures everywhere. Chaos ensues!

For download there are three languages. English, German and Czech.

About us
We are “Skoro Hrdinové” - Czech for “Almost Heroes” - a group of friends from the Czech Republic who play ttRPG games together. We play in a number of systems, worlds and settings, from prehistoric times to futuristic sci-fi. Primarily, we produce roleplay series which can be enjoyed by viewers on our YouTube channel.  We also create additional content about various systems: what do they offer, what are they about or how to create characters for them. Can’t forget our interviews with local personas of the industry, unboxing videos and reviews of TTRPGs.

How the adventure came to be
This hexcrawl was created as a campaign background for our YouTube series Protectors of Oakwood (Strážci Doubravy), where we introduce the Mausritter system through play. You can watch the whole series on our YouTube channel. Mausritter has been translated to Czech, published by Mytago and can be purchased at imago.cz.
