What's In This Book?

Chapter 1 introduces you to the Sanctuary, the world of Disaster Hamsters 2. You’ll meet many unique critters and societies that hail from across the variedconfines of the Sanctuary, from the thick forests and frigid tundra to the undulating grasslands, humid tropics, and arid badlands. There’s everything you’ll need to craft a fascinatingly adorable campaign.

Chapter 2 provides you with brand new player options, letting you build your character as one of ten new playable species, as well as three different subspecies of hamster. It also features any additional rules you’ll need as you take up your tiny sword and embark on a critter adventure.

Chapter 3 contains an epic adventure for a party of four to five 10th-level heroes. Make allies and travel across the Sanctuary to topple the regime of the tyrannical cat-dragon overlord Snuggles!

Chapter 4 features the Menagerie, a collection of forty-two stat blocks for use within this book’s self-contained adventure or campaigns of your design. There’s also advice on tweaking other stat blocks to create new critter-sized foes.

Accessibility

We believe everyone should be able to enjoy tabletop roleplaying games. As such, this book is designed intentionally as an inclusive document meant to equip any person with the confidence and inspiration to have fun telling stories.

With this in mind, the digital versions of the book come with two copies: the standard copy, and an accessible version with alt-text and the OpenDyslexic type face. We hope this seperate layout allows as many people as possible to enjoy Disaster Hamsters 2.

This commitment also extends to kids—roleplaying is not just for the grownups! Look for blue sidebars featuring the lovable Rollo von Yolo throughout Disaster Hamsters 2, where the hip hamster will share pointers on handling particular sections or topics with children.

We also recognize that sometimes certain types of content needs to be excluded for the mental wellbeing of the people playing the game. Before starting a game, make sure that each person is comfortable with the potentially distressing themes or situations that may occur within the storyline. To aid in this, we’ve included clear content warnings throughout Disaster Hamsters 2 in red-orange sidebars.
