Got this this week. Awesome job! I can't wait to run it for my group, who are all big Redwall/Mouseguard fans. Nice to have something far more accessable than Burning Wheel for Mouseguard!

I am so glad someone else likes it!
The RPGNow reviewer didn't like it, so it would help if anyone who does like WW to go there and post a rating (or even better a review) as the current reviewer didn't really get it. He got the system completely wrong and the best thing he could come up with is that a female Abbott is an Abbess. Great Review!
Anyway, it'll be up at LULU soon because I received my hardcopy in the post and it looks great.
I'll come back and let you know when - with a link!

I'll make sure to get on there this weekend and post some glowing comments. WW is very obviously a labor of love and it really shows in the writing and feel of the book. I hadn't seen anyone's review of it, so I'll have to see what this person had to say.

Here are Hares written up as a PC Kind:
Hares
Hares are hasty, impulsive, thoughtless and a tad arrogant. They love fun and cannot resist partying, feasts and other lively events. They often say things they don’t mean and allow their tongues to run away with them, to the extent of contradicting themselves several times in the same sentence. Nevertheless, they generally mean well and are likeable, even if you have to take what they say with a pinch of salt. Hares cannot become Friars or Wizards, but the other classes (including the Rogue) are open to them.
Hares have the gift of the gab, so they receive +1 to persuade rolls and they can jump (on the ground) far better than most other creatures receiving +1 to any jump roll as a Scout ort Rogue, or receiving the Jump ability as a non-Scout or Rogue Hare warriors can use their Jump ability (in place of Warrior Stunt if higher), to leap over an opponent’s head whilst stabbing down with a spear to receive a +1 attack bonus. For this reason, Hare warriors tend to favour spears as their weapon of choice.

...and Otters
Otters
Otters are the most comfortable of the Kind on water (although Water Voles might have something to say about this). They are never found far from rivers, lakes or the sea and are the best river-boaters, sailors and ferry-beasts around. Many also turn their paws to building watercraft.
Player-character Otters can naturally handle any watercraft and can swim in any natural (i.e. non-magical) water conditions. Otters can also tell, just by looking and listening to the water surface, what hazards are around up to a furlong away (i.e. if there is a waterfall, rapids, reef or similar). There is no established die roll or rule for using these abilities; exactly what the Otter can or cannot do or perceive is up to the Referee.
Player-character otters can be of any class; but many are Scouts, for obvious reasons.

Nice to see someone getting some fun out of my little game (except the poor Mole...). The mole (Flint) in our game uses a pole-arm and wades through rats and weasels like nobodies business!
Anyway, look out for two new products soon: WOODLAND WARRIORS OUT WEST and GREYROCK ISLE MINI CAMPAIGN SETTING

Threw together a little character sheet for use with my students who, by the way, are going crazy over this. Thanks Simon.
