Regarding sketches etc:Sketches: I plan on doing free quick mouse doodles in any Mouse Guard hardcover (either purchased at the show or brought from home.).
I value the time at shows to talk to fans, answer questions, sign books, take photos etc. I’ll prioritize interacting with fans before anything,
This should answer any SDCC Q’s…but feel free to post other Q’s as comments and I’ll try to answer them ASAP.
The Mouse Guard RPG is nominated for 3 ENnie awards!
