Hi Chris, this is Christian,
Played RSP last year (2022). Instead of using the houses in the box, we used the huge wilderness lodge where we were staying. We literally pointed to where our raccoons would be scurrying and pointed out what we stole. It was a blast!
Planning on running it with some other friends this year. My players wanted to create their own characters, so I just allowed them to pick the closest archetype to what they had in mind and just changed the name on the PDF. Any future plans for additional varmints? One of my players wants to play a squirrel pretending to be a raccoon. Since squirrels are preppie snobs who are loved by humans and look down on trash, she's ostracized by squirrel-kind and viewed with suspicion by raccoons. So she smeared grease on her eyes and tail as a disguise.
