I think Mouse Guard would be appropriate, though I have no real world experience with it.
Mouse Guard box set has a sticker price of $60. It looks like it might be out of print, though? That would account for the inflated price. You can buy the standalone rulebook for $30.
The main difference between the two is that the box set comes with all of the bits and pieces you need along with a bunch of introductory materials (adventure booklet, premade characters, etc.). You can play the game fine without that stuff, it's just going to be a little less beginner friendly.
>Second of all, is this the kind of game that I want? Is there something better for this situation?
I don't know, what is your situation? Mouse Guard is a good introductory RPG and is definitely a very good game. The (mostly) same rules system is also used in Burning Wheel and Burning Empires, which means you can expand into other genres and be (mostly) on familiar ground. It's also an independent game, if that makes a difference to you. If you dig the theme then you can't really go wrong with it.
The big downside with Mouse Guard, or any indie rpg for that matter, is that it is more difficult to find people to play with. Since you already have a group lined up this isn't a big issue.
yeah its a pain! i was actually really lucky and got mine for £8!!
theres a few 2nd hand stores on amazon that have copies...

I glanced at them briefly. Now I'm thinking about adding for the Mouselings for sure, and maybe the ratfolk, the dramatic-base Heroes & Villains, and the Lords of Darkness. My wife's pregnant, and I look at the Mouselings and see minis for an RPG to get my future kid introduced to RPGs. Probably Mouse Guard.
Was that the boxed set? You only really need the single rulebook to play Mouse Guard, and in my experience it's cheaper or in the same price range as other core rulebooks. Amazon has it for $23.
I want to create a Burning Wheel hack for Ponies but honestly you don't have to do much to it. In fact I would be shocked if someone hasn't made one already. Take a look at Mouse Guard the attitude is similar to ponies. It is still high adventure role play with out all the gore.
Just looked it up. Head exploded.
