First time running this or a published Mausritter adventure. As always there is a huge difference between reading and adventure and running one.
We had a slow start, that is common since the everyone is figuring things out. I went with the missing family member hook. I didn't create urgency.
Exploring the site felt good, but the party was so focused on finding the missing relative they didn't look through anything and took the most direct path.
I presented the Sugar Cult as neutral and generally shunning outsiders. I mean why would a cult that loves candy be overtly hostile? This created a dilemma for the party since they didn't have a reason to fight them.
The interplay between hive and cult felt weird. I went with them having a somewhat symbiotic relationship but the Pollen from the sunflower was tainting them all.
When exploring Shig's log I did a 2-in-6 chance they trip on bones in the dark to reveal some treasure. I'm conflicted about this but I wanted them to realize there was things to explore and do.
Exiting the adventure was harder than entering. They had almost no supplies and were leaving with numerous statuses. If this were a longer game it would have gotten very serious.
One member took critical damage but otherwise they wiped out every encounter very quickly.
Need to streamline how to do encounters in Obsidian for TTRPGs
Should pre-roll some NPC mice to encounter and role-play
