Its the laziest way to reboot a franchise, making a sequel with all the old actors reprising their roles and basically the same plot but with a different general cast for the subplots. You can tell that Trump isn’t even bothering to learn his lines in this iteration.

Meanwhile the roaches managed to kill one of the heroes though! With the overlord gone, they accepted a truce and the remaining mice got to carry their dead comrade out. With a ceremonial push-into-the-well that was the end of that character.

I found it rather hilarious that the GM actually tried to give us opportunities to revive the dead hero. However, we failed all dice rolls and were too skeptical after previous necro-shenanigans. Also, the player was fine with losing his character.

Sounds like OSR to be fair, you never know when someone will bite the dust (and who will get their goodies)
