Rats and Mice live in both Pugmire and the Monarchies of Mau, and are often treated poorly, living on the margins of society. Squeaks in the Deep is juggling several things at once, but all of those things are tied together via the story of the rodent characters in the setting. This supplement has the following sections: I think the look goes a long way to convey the idea that this is a very unique spin on the rules from which they iterate. It’s clear and engaging, and while it doesn’t look like the formatting often found in D&D 5e third-party supplements, it still has its own comprehensible way of presenting its material. I have loved the format, layout, and art on all of the Pugmire products, and this continues in the same traditions. Sidebars and notes are often presented as actual writing from characters in the setting, along with sidebars that have images of the character providing commentary on the rules.
The book is filled with half or quarter-page artwork of different anthropomorphic animals, often in cavernous environments. This includes a credits page, a three-page table of contents, two pages of introductory fiction, a full-page OGL statement, and two pages for the example character sheet.

This review is based on the PDF version of Squeaks in the Deep. Writers: Dixie Cochran, Alison Cybe, Joshua Alan Doetsch, Travis Legge, Jessica Marcrum, Eddy Webb, and Rob WielandĪrt: Pat Loboyko, Laura Galli, Luka Brico, Shen Fei, Andrea Payne, Jeff Laubenstein, Richard Thomas This may be doubly troublesome for some, since body horror combined with anthropomorphic animals can be potentially troubling on multiple axes. Not only is it dealing with the marginalizations of populations and species supremacy, there are also some truly disturbing instances of body horror and graphic violence in some sections of this book. While this is true of all of the Pugmire books so far, Squeaks in the Deep, especially, deals with a lot of potentially difficult subjects. Sometimes the presence of cute anthropomorphic animals causes people to assume game content is going to be light and upbeat. I have not used the material in this product, but I have run Pugmire, and played both Pugmire and Monarchies of Mau in the past.
I was not provided a review copy of this product. I was a Kickstarter backer for this product, and I am working from the copy provided to me from the Kickstarter. In addition to Rats, Mice, and mental abilities, this supplement also introduces The Underneath, the vast underground realms that run under established surface nations like Pugmire or Mau. Squeaks in the Deep introduces Rats and Mice as player options, as well as introducing new class options specific to those species, with an emphasis on introducing psychic powers.

This product is similar to Pirates of Pugmire, in that it is not a full ruleset by itself, and requires one of those two core rulebooks to use. This particular product is a supplement for both Pugmire and Monarchies of Mau, the two core rulebooks for the Realms of Pugmire line. Instead of aligning classes, feats, and the like to the core rules, however, Pugmire chops up a bunch of 5e elements and makes them a bit more modular. If you haven’t encountered Pugmire before, the game uses a modified version of the 5e OGL that is the basis of the current edition of Dungeons & Dragons.
