First time GM at the Con Sean is running a Mausritter game!
In Mausritter (and no, I don't know how to pronounce it!!) you all play cute little miceses, taking up your cute little swords and getting in heroic, if somewhat miniature, adventures!
You chance to play your very own mighty mouse!

At AthCon2 GM Mike ran a few tables of the pirates adventure game Crimson Cutlass.
His games proved ridiculously popular. So much so that legend has it that in one session 10 pirates sat around the table!
Somehow the numbers didn't scare GM Mike off & at #AthCon3 the adventure continues!

You know that dragons are overrated right? Like who do they think that they are fooling with all that firey breath. And claw attacks. And spells. And biting people? And legendary resistance?
Like seriously, they're not all that great.
