Brachyr System: Empire of Rats

Squeak em Squeak!

Rodents, rats in particular, get a bad rap. So often they are the first and easiest enemies you fight in rpgs. But they are also loving pets and comrades when allowed to be. This, the first bestiary for the Brachyr System, shows both on the same page. Have monstrous rats, and rat friends. Engage with rodents of all kinds and the chaos they bring.

Not necessary for play, but it clumps everything you might want to make rodents a richer part of your Brachyr System experience.

The book contains the following sections:
- An opening fiction.
- A new Rodent species skill.
- How rodents can be expressed as a different kind of character in your stories.
- A collection of premade example statblocks for various rodents, for quick application directly into a game.
- New equipment and magic for those interacting with rodents, including both traps and pet supplies!
- Advice for the Narrator on using rodents directly in stories and how they can affect themes or be used for ambience.
