If Mouse Guard is coming to GP, I'm game!

I've toyed with the idea of running a Rats of NIMH-style game using Genesys. Set in the timeline of the two novels, but adapting the magic from the Don Bluth animated film.

I've never read the books but I have always thought the Don Bluth film had massive potential for an RPG, it essentially high fantasy anyway, Nicodemus obviously being a wizard of some sort, the rats having a cosmopolitan steampunk society (Mr Ages is some kind of arch tinker) , the great owl is probably a stand in for a dragon (a huge flying menace that despite being a predator to most of the other animals is also old and very knowledgeable), and Dragon is...well...maybe also a dragon.

I dont think it wouldn't be too hard to do with D&D.

Exactly! :) That's a good way to put it: Electro-punk Watership Down. (They're stealing electricity, after all.) Maybe once one of my current games wraps up.
