r/Mausritter

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to introduce some kids/teens to TTRPGs at a youth group weekend by running a Mausritter one-shot.

I already have an adventure prepared that fits perfectly into my 2.5-hour time slot. To make the most of our limited time, I plan to use pre-generated characters and start the adventure directly in media res, skipping any lengthy introductions or tavern scenes.

However, since I'm running this for complete beginners, I still have two questions and would love your input:

1. Target Age: What age range would you recommend offering this to?
2. Group Size: How many players should I take at most? I really want to make sure that everyone gets enough spotlight and has the chance to actively contribute to the story.

Any other tips for running Mausritter in such a short slot for absolute beginners are also highly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
