Bernpyle YEAR ONE (Kickstarter Digital Files)
A downloadable Bernpyle YEAR ONE
Bernpyle has been a every-other-month Mausritter zine in publication since October 2020. The story of Bernpyle is simple, it was a dream turned hobby and then a hobby turned passion and from there it has become, well, it has become a joy!
When COVID 19 and the quarantines forced all of our lives to change, many of us once again started playing more Table-Top Role Playing Games, it was in the indie scene that Mausritter by Isaac Williams was discovered. Just like, the world had a new expression of adventuring. The Discord community that Mausritter fostered gave birth to some amazing third-party supplements and Bernpyle was one of the firsts. Since then the community has boomed and Mausritter has already launched two Box Sets and there are 100s of fan made, third-party adventures.
To date, Bernpyle has a total of six issues and this project in the YEAR ONE anniversary anthology of these zines.
Mausritter is a rules-light fantasy adventure RPG where players take up the sword and don the whiskers of a brave mouse adventurer.
It’s a huge and dangerous world out there, and it does not look kindly on a small mouse. But if you are very brave and very clever and just a bit lucky, you might be able to survive. And if you survive long enough, you might even become a hero amongst mice.

I purchased the hardcover from EF, but amongst the pdf i do not see print outs for the items from the modules. Checking the list of attachments above it looks like theres a finished items zip. Does that have print outs for the items? Is it possible to provide proof of purchase to gain access for the printable items
Absolutely. Email me at manarampmatt@gmail.com
