Hyperborean Mice

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

HYPERBOREAN MICE is a role-playing game of grim Swords & Sorcery action... as portrayed by talking mice and rats.

The ancient White Lords, albino mice with magical powers, rule over the valley of Hyperborea, but their empire is crumbling. Barbarian rat tribes, deadly predators and political intrigue threaten to bring their mousy civilization to an end.

Terrible predators like foxes and owls take the place of giants and dragons. Voracious shrew clans raid the Fallows, seeking mice and rats to fill their larders. Centipedes scuttle beneath the underbrush, seeking prey. Hawks force the inhabitants to stay under cover during the day, while owls stalk the sky at night. The system includes rules for dangerous predators such as shrews, foxes and weasels, as well as less offensive creatures like crows and pigeons.

Legendary horrors stalk the land, unique predators with potent magical abilities of their own. The terrifying Mocker, a centipede whose only voice is the imitated cries of his victims. The serpent Ssaaa gathers a cult of worshipers to do her bidding in the valley. And no mouse dares stand against dread Hoorooru, the ancient ruler of Rookswood and the enemy of the gods.

Play a Royal Mouse, White Mouse, Common Mouse, Jumping Mouse, White Rat, Common Rat or even one of the brutish Wild Rats. Your character might be a lowly commoner or even an outcast... or a wealthy noblemouse of high standing.

HYPERBOREAN MICE uses a simple stat+skill+2d6 system that supports multiple levels of success, different critical success results for different weapons, and an original magic system focused around six different magical arts and four levels of spell effects. There are dozens of combat and non-combat non-magical powers for characters to take and rules governing conflicts between creatures of vastly different sizes.

Looks good. Would like an items / equipment / services price list though, this all seems to be left up to the individual DM to deal with.

Well, pages 40-45 do go over a lot of item and equipment prices. I think services can be classified the same way.

If you could easily do it yourself, it's priced like a "crude" item. e.g.- hiring someone to carry stuff around for you. You could buy several instances for a single copper coin.

If you'd need some skill/equipment to do it, then common- cooking a meal, staying at an inn, hiring a ride to the next town. Even passage on a ship would probably fall here, as long as the ship was heading that way anyway. Here you could pay with a handful of copper coins or a couple of silver.

If those skills/equipment are rare or special, then it gets Expensive. Hiring a pigeon rider to take you somewhere or deliver a message, a mage to examine a magic item, etc. Chartering a boat to go to a dangerous area would fall here too. You're paying gold now.

And if you probably can't do it without a royal mandate or have to pay dozens of salaries, then it gets into...See more

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
