If anyone on earth deserves this, it’s Jerry. He’s one of the most genuinely good men I’ve ever known

Guy who made Mice and Mystics may indeed be a stellar human being but the "story" of that game is balls.
Ugh, article calls it a role playing game proving that Variety is also balls.

We just watched this last night -- the kids loved it. I still have the over sized kids book that is basically just scenes from the movie that we read on occasion.

The only real negative is Dreamworks. I’d rather Laika have somehow gotten a hold of the rights.

This reminds me that I still have a lot of Stuffed Fables to play through.

I have to second this (or third or fourth - I haven't read the whole tread yet) - Jerry is a kind, generous and smart guy. His game is perfect for this and I hope it does well, not just for him, but it will mean good things for the entire industry.
I'm brushing up my Rayguns and Rocketships pitch just in case Hollywood comes knocking...

Totally agreed with that. I love Mouse Guard.
Mice and Mystics is a beautiful game, but the story is trite, by-the-numbers, bog-standard high fantasy. My kids and I played it for a while, then just got totally bored with the repetitive gameplay and dull story. It's just a shame that in a boardgame where they touted the "story" aspect ... they didn't actually write a unique, compelling story.
Here's hoping the screenwriter can make something interesting out of this.

After re reading this comment I went and watched The Secret of NIMH which I hadn't seen in a billion years. It is very good. And your tidbit of worthless knowledge for the day is this: Wil Wheaton voices one of the mouse children.

How does Nicodemus' death hold up? I remember being DEVASTATED by that scene as a kid. That movie really struck me.
I'm jealous you got to rewatch that. over the weekend, i really went to town on trash. I watched Taken 2 and Star Trek: First Contact which was WAY worse than I remember it. I think the only good Trek movie at this point is Wrath of Khan (which is great).
