Long time no see, did you miss us? We've been VERY busy writing Household and writing it a little more. But it doesn't matter how much Household we write, there's still more to be written!
The goos new is that promised Household Volume II would be around 200 pages, but right now it looks like the book will be more than 300 pages long! That's a lot of pages for some littlings.
The better news is that we are extremely proud of how Household II is turning up. We dare say that this volume is even fuller, richer, and more gorgeous than the first one. And that's not an easy thing to say.
Scholar Pierre Delacroyance and Wayfarer Monika Zee
As we're getting closer to finishing the books, we finally have a more precise idea of when we'll be able to send digital copies:
-Household Volume II PDF: Late August -A Saga of the Long Winter PDF: Late September
Physical delivery is still set for the end of the year. We expect for you to receive your Household books by the end of December 2025.

DID YOU KNOW?
We don't know if you heard, but we have been Nominated at the 2025 ENNIE Awards in 4 different categories (That's a record for us!) including Best Publisher:
-Best Publisher: Two Little Mice -Best Supplement: Outgunned Adventure -Product of the Year: Memento Mori -Best Rules: Memento Mori If you want to support us and our games, you can VOTE 1 at this link: https://vote.ennie-awards.com/vote/2025
And remember, 1 is the BEST VOTE!
This is also the perfect chance to inform you that we will all be attending GenCon this year, from Thursday 31 to Saturday 2. You will find Household and us at the Studio 2 booth Come say hi if you are around Indianapolis!
As we keep writing Household Vol. 2, there's many new towns and cities that we cannot wait for you to explore. There's one in particular that have claimed a special place is our heart though. A joyful little town built across two twin twigs that grow from two tall trees: Twigbridge
Twigbridge is truly unlike any place you visited in Household, and it will also be the perfect setting for one of the pre-made adventure that you will find in A Saga of the Long Winter. This particular adventure will feature Ronja Rami, a brand new littling who work as a mail carrier for the P.O.L.L.E.N., but will also mark the return of a beloved scholar named Pierre Delacroyance
Ronja Rami, sluagh wayfarer
We cannot wait for you to start your next adventure in Twigbridge!
If you are not familiar with Outgunned, this silver ENNIE Award winning RPG (Best Game 2024, and Product of the Year 2024) feature the same dice mechanic as Household, and it's written and illustrated by the same team (us mice!).
We would love for you to join us for yet another great -or should we say super- adventure together!
This will be just a quick update to inform all of you about the current situation, and the status of work.
--> US TARIFFS
First of all, many of you are worried about how the new US tariffs will or might impact on Household or our future projects. The short answer is: they will not! We promised you something, and we plan to deliver it, with no extra cost. So rest assured that there will not be any kind of surprise when you receive your Household pledge. We'll take care of everything, as this kind of things should not impact on backers or customers.
Maybe for the next campaigns things will be different, but we made you a promise back in December, and we intend to keep it. Simple as that!
----> PDF RELEASE
We already sent PDF copies of existing books. That means Household Volume I, A Saga of the Fragile Peace, and A Practical Guide to Living Inside the House. If they were part of your Pledge level, and you haven't already received that yet, please reach us at [email protected] and allow us a couple of days to solve this.
Now about NEW PDFs, unfortunately we don't have a date yet. We plan to deliver them during Summer, but can't promise anything as the books are HUGE and they will also need to be translated in English before we can deliver them. Will this impact on the physical delivery? No. We still plan to deliver in time, is just that there's a lot to write and illustrate. Maybe unlock less stuff next time! :D
----> STATUS OF WORK
Currently we are at a good point with Household II. The book is around 300 pages long, and it's basically a corebook. We're still adding new stuff, plays testing new tools, and painting a ton of arts, but the good news is everything looks GREAT.
As said, we're still confident that we should be able to deliver the PDF of the corebook around Summer, which would allow us to deliver the physical products with no delay whatsoever on December.
Today we're finally opening the Pledge Manager and the Pre-Order Store, and we're also sending out the original Household PDFs... So please have a seat and get ready for a VERY LONG update!
