🐭 Thank You 🐭
Thank You, Adventurers.

Because of 1,194 of you, the Old Forest has grown far beyond what we ever imagined.

Together, we've:
🐭 Funded Mouseborn in just 6 minutes
🐸🐀🪶 Unlocked Frog, Rat, and Falcon Sticker rewards
📖 Upgraded the book with decorative page edges and a ribbon bookmark
🗺️ Awakened the mysterious Cicada Kingdom adventure
🗳️ Shaped the world through ribbon color votes, creature tournaments, and Scenes From the Forest
🐛 Added pets and companions to the Old Forest
🦇 Unlocked the Bat as a brand-new playable creature
❓ Unlocked an additional community requested playable creature yet to be revealed

Every stretch goal, every vote, every comment, and every pledge has helped shape Mouseborn into something bigger, richer, and more alive than we ever could have created alone.

❤️ Thank You ❤️

Whether you've pledged, shared the campaign, voted in our community events, or cheered from the sidelines, you've helped make Mouseborn something really special.

From all of us, thank you.

The campaign might be over, but the work continues! We will keep you updated as Mouseborn moves through production. Stay tuned for more details on backer surveys, production timelines, and more behind the scenes looks.

We'll see you in the forest soon. 🌲

⏳ 24 Hours Left to Join the Adventure ⏳
The journey is almost complete.

In just 24 hours, the gates to the Old Forest will close, and with them, your chance to join the Mouseborn campaign.

What started as a dream has become something far greater than we ever imagined. Together, you've funded the project in minutes, unlocked stretch goal after stretch goal, welcomed new creatures into the forest, discovered hidden lore, voted through tournaments, and helped shape the world of Mouseborn with every comment, share, and pledge.

From all of us, thank you.

🪲 Only $2,000 Until the Next Creature Joins the Forest! 🪲 

We're less than $2,000 away from unlocking the $155,000 goal, where one lucky creature will earn a permanent place in Mouseborn!

The suggestions have been pouring in, and one of our artists couldn't resist imagining what one contender might look like... Please give a round of applause for the great Hercules Beetle. We think it's safe to say... it's looking pretty formidable. 💪🪲

⏳ Less Than 2 Days Left! ⏳
The final countdown has begun.

With less than 2 days remaining, Mouseborn is racing toward our $155,000 stretch goal. Every share, comment, and new adventurer who joins the campaign brings us one step closer to unlocking even more of the Old Forest.

If you know someone who would love cozy fantasy, tabletop RPGs, or beautifully illustrated worlds, now is the perfect time to invite them on the journey. And don’t forget to keep letting us know which creatures you’d love to see the forest next!

This has been an incredible campaign, and we can’t thank you enough for your support. Let’s finish strong.

🦎 Scenes From the Forest Winner 🦎

Over the past few weeks, creatures from across the Old Forest have cast their votes in our Scenes From the Forest series, choosing how they would respond to mysterious discoveries, unexpected encounters, and adventures beyond the safety of Mossbridge.

Again and again, one group stood out... The ones who chased the unknown instead of running from it.

The Salamanders have emerged victorious.

Let's journey into their world…

Salamander Mage

🧪 The Seekers of Hidden Truths

While many creatures see only the world before them, salamanders believe there is another layer beneath it. A hidden current of magic, memory, and ancient knowledge flowing quietly through the Old Forest.

To them, everything is connected.

The pattern of raindrops on a pond, the shape of mushroom rings, the movement of insects through the reeds. Even the silence between birdsong can reveal secrets to those patient enough to listen.

This philosophy has made salamanders some of the forest's greatest naturalists, alchemists, herbalists, astrologers, and oracles.

They rarely rush to judgment. Instead, they observe first, searching for the unseen threads that bind every living thing together.

🍄 Magic Woven Through Nature

Some Oracles can read the hidden patterns of nature to glimpse the forest's past, present, and possible futures. 

Others communicate through vast underground fungal networks, where thoughts travel like distant echoes beneath the soil.

Some cultivate enchanted spores capable of confusing enemies or creating vivid shared dreams.

And while most inhabitants of the Old Forest fear fire magic, certain salamanders have quietly mastered its delicate art, using tiny controlled flames to illuminate forgotten places, purify corruption, or accelerate natural growth. It is a dangerous practice, and one forbidden throughout much of the kingdom.

🌿 Between Two Worlds

Not all salamanders follow the same path.

Many live alongside mice, frogs, and other peoples of the Old Forest, serving as trusted scholars, healers, druids, and advisers.

Others disappear deep into hidden swamps and towering mushroom groves, where whispers speak of the mysterious Mycelium Cult and ancient secrets long forgotten by the rest of the kingdom.

Whether ally, guide, or keeper of forgotten knowledge, one thing is certain.

The forest still holds many secrets yet to be revealed.

And few are better equipped to uncover them than the salamanders.

Project Update: 🐭🐀🦡 What Kind of Hero Are You? 🐸🦎🪶

A quiz for wanderers, warriors, schemers, and suspiciously intellectual woodland creatures.

The Old Forest stands divided.

The Mouse King calls for order and tradition, the Rat King promises survival through change, the rivers darken, the roots tremble, and the skies whisper of omens overhead.

And somehow, against all odds, your tiny self has become involved.

🐭🐀🦡 What Kind of Hero Are You? 🐸🦎🪶


1. A harsh winter wipes out your village’s food supply. What do you do?
A. Organize the community, ration supplies, and protect the vulnerable.
B. Sneak in a rival village’s supplies before your friends and family starve.
C. Search abandoned tunnels and forgotten roots beneath the hills.
D. Experiment with fungi and other strange plants nobody dares to touch.

2. You uncover evidence that a respected leader has been lying to the Council. What now?
A. Quietly gather more information before making accusations.
B. Expose them before more damage is done.
C. Use the information carefully to gain leverage later.
D. Ask why they lied before deciding what to do.

3. What weapon feels the most natural in your paws/claws?
A. A polished spear and shield.
B. A hidden dagger.
C. A sling, climbing rope, and the terrain itself.
D. Magic. Especially the kind you’re not supposed to use.

4. The forest begins whispering your name in the night. Your reaction?
A. Seek guidance from ancient traditions and trusted elders.
B. Follow the voice. Worst case scenario, your death creates a great story.
C. Record everything, and study the sound and patterns.
D. Ignore it. The forest is always dramatic.

5. What role do you naturally fill in an adventuring party?
A. Dependable builder, protector, and the one keeping the group alive.
B. Scout, thief, or professional bad influence.
C. Strategist and problem solver.
D. The strange spellcaster everyone is slightly afraid of.

6. You’re offered forbidden fire magic. What do you do?
A. Refuse it. Some laws exist for good reason.
B. Learn it immediately. Knowledge should never be restricted.
C. Study it cautiously with guidance and diligent practice.
D. Use it only if the situation becomes desperate.

7. A war between the kingdoms feels inevitable. What’s your instinct?
A. Strength comes from order. Someone has to hold the forest together.
B. If the old ways failed us, maybe it’s time to build something new.
C. There’s more happening behind the scenes than either side realizes.
D. I’m less interested in politics than who survives what comes next.

8. Which part of the forest feels most like home to you?
A. Misty riverbanks buzzing with life and secrets.
B. A hidden swamp laboratory full of strange experiments.
C. The high canopy where you can see everything below.
D. Deep underground tunnels where nobody can surprise you.

9. You discover an ancient ruin beneath the roots of the forest. What interests you most?
A. The strange creatures and ecosystems thriving within it.
B. The unstable relics everyone else is afraid to touch.
C. The structure itself and how it has survived so long underground.
D. The forgotten knowledge hidden inside.

10. What kind of reputation would you WANT to have?
A. “They protected others when nobody else would.”
B. “They changed the world, no matter the cost.”
C. “They always knew more than they let on.”
D. “They survived everything.”

🔑 How to Calculate Your Total


Each answer is tied to a creature of the Old Forest.

🐭 Mouse
🐀 Rat
🦡 Mole
🐸 Frog
🦎 Newt
🪶 Bird


Whichever creature you picked the MOST is your Mouseborn race.

If you tie, the Forest contains multitudes, and apparently so do you.

Choose your own destiny. 🐭🐀🦡🐸🦎🪶
