This is a testing of the waters so to speak. Forum based DMing is something new to me, so those interested in joining I ask to keep that in mind.
This Topic is predominantly to access if there is interest in such a campaign to begin with. I will include below a short summary of the Children of Mother Setting and themes that typically can be expected with my style of campaign. I will include any limitations I can immediately think of that may be pertinent to those interested, and also gladly answer any questions about the setting and system as you have them and my ability allows.
XXSo feel free to note questions and concerns here, or pm me for such details.
To start.
XXXXThe Children of Mother is a setting heavily influenced by novels and stories including "Mouse Guard", "Redwall" and "Mrs. Frisby and The rats of Nihm". Taking on roles from a small mouse to a mighty Cardinal, the setting aims for a more light hearted approach to the themes in D&D, full of whimsy and childlike wonder, even in the darker sections of its stories.
XXXXThis particular campaign takes root early in this history of our world. Founded in the city of Camelot, Fabled home where 'Mother' once resided long ago. It Is long sense been empty of her or her people, left now to her children who claim it as their own. Many kind are blessed here: Mice, Squirrel, Weasel, Chipmunk, Mole, Rat, Toad and Avian. Kept safe by the immeasurably high walls of their land from the unknown beyond. Living in relative peace with one another.
I think it will be easier to provide bulletin points from here on.

The few buildings that remain have becomes great cities, and what is believed to have been Mothers home, A vast castle great in size and form, is now the Capital and greatest City of the land.
*Rules alterations to be expected.
