Adventurers,

Spring has arrived in the Hundred Acre Woods, and we've got some exciting updates to share!

Our wonderful art team have created a gorgeous new piece of artwork for Brambletrek 2, and we couldn't wait to share it with you.

But here's the really fun part: we've hidden frogs throughout the illustration.

Can you find them all? Drop a comment with how many you spot!🐸

We're excited to announce that Housemouse rules are on the way! Ash is hard at work finalising the mechanics, and once everything is locked in, we'll be opening these up for playtesting.

If you're interested in being part of the playtest group, keep an eye on your emails and inside our Discord!

Thank you for your patience and enthusiasm as we polish every detail.

Adventure on,

Greetings Friends,

Welcome back to another Brambletrek update!

We've been hard at work on the Boxed Set, and we're excited to share some major developments that are shaping up to make this the best possible introduction to the world of the Hundred Acre Woods.
 

We're working on an adventure specifically designed for the Boxed Set, that will introduce you to a whole new set of mechanics for dungeons, from building them to exploring their depths.
 
And who will head up this brave new adventure..?

The adventure will also feature a brand new Legacy: the Spelunker.

The Spelunker is for those who want to delve deep into the unknown; explorers, cave divers, and adventurers who thrive in the darkness beneath the forest.

This Legacy brings a unique playstyle that rewards clever navigation, resourcefulness, and an understanding of the treacherous environments you'll encounter.

One of the biggest decisions we've made for the Boxed Set is the introduction of a hybrid dice and cards system.
Here's how it works:

🎲 Dice for Resolutions - Core resolution mechanics will use custom dice designed specifically for Brambletrek. These dice keep the game flowing, create tension, and make every roll feel meaningful.

🃏 Cards for Events and Combat - Events and combat will continue to use cards to streamline gameplay and give players and House Mouses quick-reference tools at the table. These cards keep things organized, reduce rulebook flipping, and add a tactile element to key moments in the game.

This hybrid system combines the best of both worlds: the satisfying randomness and physicality of rolling dice with the clarity and structure of card-based encounters.
We've playtested this extensively, and we cannot wait for you to get to experience it too!

In honour of this new combined system, we're currently working on the dice set, and we're committed to getting them just right.

And here's the best part: these  dice will be added to everybody's Starter Set for free!

We're deep in development on the dice system and adventure content. We'll have more updates as these pieces come together.

Thank you for your patience, your support, and your excitement.

Adventure on,

Dear Friends,
 
Exciting developments in the Hundred Acre Woods this month:

We've updated the original Brambletrek layout to align with Brambletrek 2's improved design. Same beloved content, better presentation!

We're thrilled to share the artistic journey of our latest adventure artwork. Watch as initial concepts evolve through sketches into the final, beautiful illustrations that bring the woods to life.

Seeing these pieces develop reminds us why we love this world; every tree, every path, every creature has a story waiting to be discovered.

The woods are calling. Will you answer?

With warmth,
The Crossed Paths Team 🐻
