Now Available: Monarchies of Mau Early Access!

Now available in PDF and print from DriveThruRPG: Monarchies of Mau Early Access!

Before we were six. Now we are one. We differ on many points, but on these we agree: always trust our instincts, always reward loyalty, and always pounce upon minions of the Unseen. Without these tenets, we are no longer worthy of the adoration of Man. 

— Monarch Trillani Persian von Mau, deceased

Cats have inherited the world, unifying their six fractious monarchies after untold centuries.

These cats have been uplifted to use tools and language, and they seek to rediscover the ruins of the Old Ones. Some have learned to use the leftover technology of humanity, but they believe it to be magic given to them by their lost worshippers. Others seek to create a cohesive nation, using Precepts of Mau agreed to after years of political conflict. The world is dangerous and mysterious, but the instincts of a good cat will always be true.

Monarchies of Mau Early Access is a pre-release, advance look at the upcoming Monarchies of Mau roleplaying game.

It is a near-complete rulebook allowing players to dive right into the world of Monarchies of Mau as the final game is still in development. Some highlights of Monarchies of Mau Early Access include:

• An evocative and mysterious setting that’s both family friendly and deep enough to create compelling stories.

• A traditional fantasy rules system redesigned for streamlined play and easy creation of heroic cats, with an emphasis on cooperation and action over competition and violence.

• A variety of callings and houses that give access to several fun and interesting secrets.

• Rival species to interact with, like dogs and rats, along with terrifying and dangerous monsters that roam the landscape.

WILL YOU TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS?

Monarchies of Mau is our cat-based follow-up to Pugmire, set in the cat monarchies adjacent to the dog kingdoms.

    HELL YEAH! Do you have any convention adventures for this you might want to share? We have two more gaming sessions before my group takes a break, and this game would be perfect (“D&D cats” is how I sold it lol)

    Is there going to be a freebie version for Backers?

      I was wondering the same thing. I went to check my Backerkit for a copy of this and was surprised not to see it.
