>I'm a closet furry.

Tale spin is now your next campaign setting. GO!

>>4730231
>>4730204

I see your Tailspin and raise you Porco Rosso

only if it's made un-furry.

I wanted to be the plane

A too old for this shit Irish badger. I would concentrate on melee and engine repairs. I think they should have a natural constitution bonus?

TailSpin was epic, but there is no way I'm going furry for you, man

A Kat

Also, in during Nostalgia bomb

...You want to walk around as an anthropomorphic animal. That makes you more of a furry than the people who just fap to the porn.

>>4730268
What about for. . .a scooby snack?

>>4730285
>...You want to walk around as an anthropomorphic animal.
Which isn't inherently furry in of itself.

It's not furry unless you sexualise it. Make your character a mary sue and have one other major fetish tied in.

Easy system to run a TaleSpin campaign: Spirit of the Century.

>>4730272
why do all the cool old tv shows have to turn people into furries

>>4730216
Being a furry is alright as long as you're not a furfag.

You see the Furoticon thing? Most furries hate shit like that; it makes them look bad. FURFAGS, now, furfags eat that shit up like it's filet mignon (and said comparison IS an insult to filet mignon.)

Now, that said, long as there's no sex involved besides the usual fade-to-black "I-seduce-the-barmaid" you get in every game, you get some awesome stuff.

Iron Vulture? Fuck yeah, giant fuckoff huge airship piloted by a guy who WOULD have won at least once if it wasn't a Disney show-plus a dude surfing around on a glider. Affable old dude who's seen better years, but can still fly a plane like nobody's buisness-and coaxes fighter plane stuff out of a cargo plane-and carries on a slow romance with the old lady who owns his cargo company.
Even has a quirky, likeable mechanic who, despite apparently having the Int of a brick and the Dex of a sloth, manages to keep the old guy's plane in top shape.
Shave all the fur off, and /tg/ would be talking about TaleSpin all the time.

But because OH NO FURRIES word one doesn't come up about it.

Now, personally, if I were going to run a game of TaleSpin I'd run it in-

-Donjon
-Spirit of the Century
-Savage Worlds
-Risus (if your players can be trusted and you're a good GM.)

d20 would work, of course, but /tg/ loves to hate d20, so eh.

I'm here to talk TaleSpin all evening-if anyone brings up sex, ignore 'em; we'll Get Shit Done without their interference.

>>4730204
>ITT: We subtly remind /tg/ that they were all once furries

I have no idea, OP. If I thought about this too deeply, considering that I am into furry porn, I would be dangerously close to creating a fursona. I have thought about this before though when thinking up some concepts for a campaign set in the "Dark World" of "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past". I don't know how to describe myself though... what am I, or what do I want to be? The only way to get a proper answer would be to ask a casual friend what I am like and go from there.

This book has all the races you need for a TaleSpin campaign.

>>4730316
The once and future furry?

I want to be a weasel. So i can be a weasel. Just torn between the idea of a charisma bonus or a charisma penalty. Maybe high wisdom. Thinking about it sounds more like an npc character

>>4730204
>i wish there was a tailspin table top game.
in b4 jade claw

>>4730266
please tell me this is not a real album cover. Holy Christ

TaleSpin is shitty Western art, come back when you've seen some authentically Japanese animes, you gaijin baka.

i'm confident enough in my autogynophilia/ /tg/ fetish to not be afraid of being called furry

a frilled lizard, either chilling and relaxed or jittery as all get out. bonuses up the wazoo to bluff.

>>4730355
...I don't know, mang. It looks like a shitty shoop, but a LOT of cheap rap covers ARE shitty shoops.

>>4730368
You amuse me.

>>4730354

>>4730347
probably means that there sound not be a bonus or penalty.

>>4730316
A bear, so no one would know what the hell I was.

>>4730375

Of course it wasn't a shoop, those bears are the real deal, mang.

>>4730325
>The only way to get a proper answer would be to ask a casual friend what I am like and go from there.

I phoned a friend and he said I am smart and quiet, that I'm lethargic and that I don't take care of myself. I have a short temper, a big imagination, and a black and white view on things (morality I presume).

I don't know what kind of animal that is.

>>4730370
I'd probably end up playing a Tamarin or some other small monkey-either as a living Buzz Droid or mechanic who actually gets right in the engine compartment and fixes shit.

Maybe both.

With a jetpack.

>>4730400
>mang

>>4730409

It's a panda, obviously.

>>4730409
...I dunno, a particularly complex sloth?

>>4730409
You sound like a grumpy possum who is upper middle management is Shere Khans Business empire

>>4730409
i'm getting panda

or maybe an alligator

>>4730389
I still want to hear that story about that human character in an Iron Claw game who got raped by a fox woman.

>>4730432
This night I have come dangerously close to crossing the line.

Goanna/Monitor Lizard. Throw in a mild drinking problem, thick spectacles, a deathwish, love of sporting violence and a disrepect for technology.

>>4730425
I thought only asians could be pandas?

Alright you derps seem to have confused my factual statement with actually caring one whit about furries.

It is a simple and undeniable fact that if you WANT TO BE AN ANTHROPOMORPHIC ANIMAL then you most certainly can be considered to, if nothing else, have something fairly related to the furry fetish, if not precisely that, since it does indeed refer to arousal, sexual stuff, etc.

...Y'know, I saw a picture of Talespin characters done as humans once and I could've sworn I saved it. But I can't find the picture.

>>4730437
Well then, take it to another thread then.

This is for Talespin, not random furry shit.

>>4730437
go on......

>>4730441
>>4730435
>>4730432
>>4730427
Hmm... panda, sloth, alligator, or possum... choices, choices. I rather like that middle management position.

>>4730480
I wish I could, but the idiot who mentioned the incident never spilled the beans on the full story.

>>4730446
I think cold blooded's should get a trait called cold blooded. Bonus in warm areas, Negatives in cold areas?

>>4730204

I'd be Don Carnage.

And I'd be even more badass.

Because I'd actually kill my opponents.

>>4730496
if we're definitely going to crunch this out, it makes sense.

>>4730503
He would have, except Disney wouldn't let him, because Disney.

Alternately, you could be Don Karnage, but win-you leave your enemies alive because you've taken everything else-their lives, their lovers, their buisness...while you sneer at them from the deck of your airship.

...but that's just me. A murder is fine too.

saying "oh im' not furry" and then going right ahead and doing a furry thing doesn't stop you being furry.

>>4730534
Furry = has fur

EVERYTHING ELSE IS JUST NERDS BICKERING

>>4730534
What if you are on double secret furry probation?

if nothing else, this thread has made me remember Louie's Place. Thankyou /tg/ thankyou.

>>4730534
<- Read this.

Now, TaleSpin. Are we going to be based in Cape Suzette, or somewhere else? They went a few other places; like the Soviet Russia Expy and the other one with the dictator.

Or would we set up shop in our own city, made by the DM/whoever?

>>4730204
Personalities didn't always match up with the animals in TaleSpin. Baloo and Rebecca were polar opposites yet they were both bears, though different species. Wildcat was a lion and he was very unlion like.

Yeah, this would make for a pretty good setting, IMHO.

I'd be a beaver. A mechanically inclined alcoholic beaver.

The problem with the OP is he has assumed

>>So if you could be turned into a bipedal version of an animal where everyone was one in the world of tailspin

is a requirement of

>>a world of bad ass air pirates, Navy's, dog fights, business espionage, monopolies and private militaries... Man i wish there was a tailspin table top game. I even vaguely remember an episode where the pirates were hired to cause an oil shortage. Also Nostalgia

The two are not related for any reason but to fit with all the other disney children's shows at the time. It functions perfectly fine without the furry, yet the OP is confused (probably by his admitted nostalgia) into thinking he needs to include the furry parts as well.

>>4730589
...but if we just pick animals that we like then we're furries!

>>4730585
SOVIET RUSSIAN EXPY!

>>4730594
I think the animals actually make it less generic. If we make them all human then we might as well just do Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.

I'd be an out of work bloodhound detective. Wrinkles due to breed and age who drowns his sorrow in prostitutes. He is trying to solve one big case no longer for the cash but also to give the last 15 years of his life meaning.

>>4730620
It adds spice, Whole new avenues of racism. Dynamics involving some being better at job naturally. Rhino bouncers. Lizards just can't play basketball. Cats are lazy good for nothings. etc..

>>4730620
This.

Read BlackSad, then combine that with TaleSpin, and you'll get what the OP was hoping for.

There IS good stuff with anthro animals out there-note that none of it actually comes from the "furry fandom," but from outside.

>>4730620
This is a good point.

Baloo + Rebecca = My OTP

Also, SWEET JAYSUS, look at this character list!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TaleSpin_characters

>>4730632
I just hope he sticks to his own species.

>>4730521

With the way his name is pronounced, it sounds like a play on the phrase "bon voyage"

am I crazy?

>>4730643
Wolves get into gangs. Cat people are called...something along the line of hairballs. Some communities just don't like your kind. Interbreeders are still hung by mobs and are still disliked by everybody. Rats breed like rats and everybody thinks they take too much room

>>4730670
...loosely, yes.

They live in a city called Cape Suzette, I wouldn't put it past them.

>>4730325

It would seem the best idea, yeah... Let's see, what have my friends said of me...

- I'm lazy. Unbelievably so. I have to agree with them on this - I've gone days without eating just because I didn't feel like cooking.
- I pay a lot of attention to everything. They say I'm a bit creepy with this, even. One of them described it as being a kind of unsettling attention, like I was archiving everything they said (it's not on purpose, honest! Stupid negative charisma).
- I'm hard to really anger, but very, *very* easily irritated. I'm trying to get better on this. A short temper is a sign of weakness, if you ask me.
- They also said I'm smart. Please don't believe them on this. I just know a lot of stuff, but I suck at associating it and actually having ideas.
- I have a huge imagination.
- I'm almost stupidly passive unless it's something that moraly offends me. Well, fair enough. I *am* rather passive. No need to sweat things, you know?

...so, er, maybe one of those creepy beady-eye lizards that sit on rocks all day and try to bite you if you approach your fingers? Awww. Man, remind me to never go furry. My fursona would be the ugliest thing ever.

>>4730652
>>4730643
And Maus.

Though that's a bit grimdark for Tailspin:The RPG

I don't remember any species racism at all in the show. It seems like an excuse made to justify something after you've already decided to include it in. What was the original reason?

>>4730681

I'm going to troll people with a wormsona someday.

>>4730694
and Sher Khan intimidating the fuck out of everybody by being a tiger wasn't?

>>4730678
The derogatory term for any feline is "fur licker".

>>4730694
The original reason was probably just an excuse to use Disney characters.

>>4730681
My own clone. A lizard and an opossum will make a neat team. Wait, I know that neither one of us has any interest in being part of a "team". That's why I hate my management position so much.

>>4730681
Sloth or some lizard, possibly a Komodo Dragon if your mouth is noxious enough.
>don't let me go furry, my fursona would be hideous
Keeps you from going stupid. Play a REAL character, keep your sense of self, yet still be likeable, and you've got a recipe for a following.

What animal would best represent scar face? Thats the kind of character i would imagine playing?

>>4730740
A coyote with rabies.

>>4730740
Chihuahua

Prohibition Era
Cats only
Speakeasy
Final Destination

>>4730740

Obsessed with being top of the food chain, desires money, drugs, and sex above all else, short temper, and brave/crazy/coked-out enough to get into a 1 vs a fuckton shootout with heavily armed men inside his own mansion?

...As retarded as this sounds, he could be a wolf. Though jackal might work, too.

>>4730758

>>4730770
Sounds more like a wolverine or something. Some kind of psychotic animal.

i don't even know anymore

Trolls trolling trolls trolling trolls?

Here's some campaign ideas. Work for shere khan. He wants you to strong arm some businesses.
Steel secrets from the russians.
Run a succesful privately owned transport business.
etc..

>>4730778

>>4730697
I approve.

Now, as for the various species:

-Dog breeds are something akin to noble families or particularly insular clans-think rednecks for some of the really stupid ones. There are LOTS of them, and they tend to be nigh-fascist due to the pack mentality.
-Cats vary a lot-they can be lazy fuckers or smooth bastards, but it largely depends on the individual. They breed fast, and keep down the rats-which the rats don't like.
Again, specific breeds are clans, and stuff like the Munchkins are about as crazy and inbred as you can imagine.
-Rats are cheap labor, and mice are the same-but delicate. Think Mexican day laborer versus maid. Rats are cowardly, rough, and crude; while mice are timid, prone to flightiness and panic, but more decorous.
Both breed like rabbits, though.
-Speaking of which, Rabbits I'd avoid, because the LOLSEX angle is too easily played up; if not, I'd make them something along the lines of cheap labor, but underground. When you can't get a mole, you get a rabbit-they dig well, they can brace decently, and if they build it, it stays up.
There are entire underground cities comprised primarily of rabbits, with double handfuls of moles, etc.
-Weasels and their kin are dangerous-thugs, assassins...not nice people, and don't get started on the Wolverines, because they'll fuck you up, and maybe eat you to seal the deal. Generally kept under surveillance for just that reason, and wolverine violent crime is punished, first time, with death. Too many have fucked up, and people have gotten wise.
-Sloths are natural accountants and security guards; they can watch the same thing for hours on end and not get bored. Clever engineers have made typewriters involving minimal effort, and most bureaucracies are crewed entirely by sloths.
-Lizards vary, a lot, and tend to be more cold-blooded (yes, I saw what I did there) than mammals. They have a reputation for cruelty and violence that may be deserved.

Still thinkin'.

A golden retriever. Absolutely useless job, but friendly and dependable. I'd obviously have to wear a bandana since nearly every retriever I've seen was wearing one.

>>4730799
I imagine among the canines and felines that the wild breeds would be at odds with the "domesticated" ones for some reason. Perhaps the domesticated (human created) breeds are city dwellers. Fairly liberal... where-as the wild breeds of-course live a less sophisticated life and are more old fashioned. Both sides consider themselves morally superior to the other.

all the reason I've ever want to include stereotyped anthro races into settings right in this thread. And accepted. I love you guys.

>>4730816
basically white collar and blue collar.

Desk jobs and lumberjack thing going on right?

>>4730799
>-Lizards vary, a lot, and tend to be more cold-blooded
Hello, Blacksad.

>>4730799
Chimpanzees are very intelligent and make great engineers however they have a (perhaps undeserved, perhaps not) reputation for going on violent rampages.

>>4730824
Something like that. Lions are predominantly Christian. Christ was a lion.

>>4730841
christ was a camel, just like everyone else from the middle east...

>>4730828
Well yeah, BlackSad was fuckawesome.

Now, if the furries were like Blacksad, and not an entire subculture of YIFF YIFF YIFF, then, well...

...pipe dreams, /tg/. Pipe dreams. ;~;

I like the chimp angle-sounds good to me.

So...anyone got any requests?

>>4730855
the lions just like to pretend he was a lion?

Amphibians get shit from everybody. Reptiles don't accept them, mammals don't accept them, and fish (if we are going to include them) don't accept them. And unlike some of the other disliked races, they aren't nearly as useful in a fight, so they tend to be flighty and stick with their own kind.

They make excellent dock workers. Especially with a gator foreman on watch. . .

I have too many weird attributes to get one of these. I'm social, but I'm fine with solitude. I'm good at making friends and I'm fairly confident with strangers (Enough to insult someone I know I won't need anything from later). I tend to be hard to piss off but when I snap I am focused and unrelenting. I like writing and talking with folks, I guess. My personality tends to come off of the people around me sometimes, but I put my own spin on things and treat others the way they treat me...

I'm not really any good at classifying myself, all that up there is objective.

What would I be, /tg/?

>>4730861
Yup, and they believe in plygomy

>>4730855
In biblical times there were lions in the middle east and even Europe. If anything Christ was actually a rat, but the truth must be suppressed!

>>4730884
NO THAT WAS OUTLAWED BY THE CHURCH.


...only extremists do that. Srsly.

>>4730882
just be a cat. Most people are going to be cats or dogs.

>>4730841
No. Don't you dare.

I've seen that pic.

Lions...well, everyone hates lions. Charismatic bastards, but BASTARDS. Live off their women, and whatever work they do, it's societal-to try and get a bigger pride.

Women's lib is taking a chunk out of that, and several of their biggest detractors are lions.

Don't just choose ONE SPECIES for a locale. Sure, the Middle East has camels, but it also has burrowing owls, desert cats, etc.

Things are going to change a bit, too. Since Africa has chimps, they're going to have a bit better civ. Lions are trying to fuck that up, though-or maybe they have, a while back, and Africa is in the state it is because they did that.

America...as usual for the era, America is on top because of their melting-pot nature-they've got chimps working on things, legions of rats building things (with occasional mafias of cats keeping them in line), and of course the Manhattan Project was mostly monkeys.

Still thinkin'.

>Donjon

Oddball French fantasy comic FTW.
Another hidden gem, not spread very far in English-speaking countries possibly due to politics.
/tg/ would adore it.

http://lambiek.net/artists/s/sfar.htm

>>4730904
Don't be a fucking cat, every fucking furry is a cat anymore. Have some goddamn imagination-just because most of the races are stereotypes doesn't mean you have to be.

Choose a specie you like and stick to it.

>>4730904

I dunno though. I'm not really like most people. I tend to be more OK with taking the middle ground and attempting to evaluate something without trying to convince people of anything. I don't think finicky or loyal and watchful really describe me.

That's most people *in society* obviously, not on /tg/.

>>4730841
>>4730902
In the past Lions along with many other of the wild breeds were the dominant culture. They had dynasties all across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, North America, ect... However with industrialization the "domesticated breeds"/citydwellers have risen to the top. Their ancestral lines do not trace back as far as they are primarily based (at least originally) on trading and other mercantile activities. As they've gone along they've abandoned many of the wold ways of thinking and thus there is a lot of deep seated animosity between them and their "wild" cousins.

I mean... this shit is awesome.

>>4730938
There are only a handful of countries still ruled by the old wild breeds correlated exactly with which areas of the world in real-life in which those animals are not extinct. So the lions have a nation or two in Africa, for example.

I'd be a guinea pig. the gluttonous bastards they are.

>>4730816

In TaleSpin, Shere Khan was a CEO or something.

>>4730923

Christ had all the good qualities of man but none of the bad ones.

By this logic Christ as a lion will have all the good qualities associated with a lion and none of the bad ones.

>>4730947
What would be a conservation effort in real-life is in this world a conspiracy to return things to the way they once were.

>>4730722

Actually, I like working in teams. Is the only way that I get anything done, with other people busying around and giving me a bit of a sense I *should* be doing something (basically, I have a weird moral code. I don't mind if my work goes undone, but I hate seeing others having to do *my* work. That's just unfair to them. I see effort as a bad thing, so inflicting it on others for my own benefit classifies as Evil in my book). Plus, the same work divided by two people is half the effort for each one, which is just appealing.

>>4730723
>Sloth or some lizard, possibly a Komodo Dragon if your mouth is noxious enough.

Nah, I pay a lot of care to my mouth. Had some dental problems as a kid, so I treat it very well. And if you mean as in swearwords, well, sometimes.

A Komodo dragon character would be fucking awesome, though.

>>4730951
A few members of the old breeds learn the rules to new game.

And when they do, they rise. Rapidly.

>>4730955
YES!

>>4730951
No reasons there can't be exceptions. I was just talking about the historical animosity and where it comes from. The wild breeds still have a charisma bonus and are highly respected by the average person. So there are companies out there owned by them.

Gilberto the herb-shaman is the best.

The dragon protagonist will pull heartstrings though.

>>4730841
But... lions eat Christians. And also: "Lamb of God". Hello? [spoiler]He can be both, I know.[/spoiler]

Funny thing about lions...
I've heard there are two types of lions: The European lion and the African lion. They say the European lions, the ones most connected to nobility, once lived north of Africa. When the people of Europe expanded their territories, they fought off and killed the lions there, forcing them to move south. The lions that stayed died off, but are the ones closely related to things like courage and nobility while the ones that became African lions are more flawed and are not as stubborn, but often foolish.
In African cultures, lions are scapegoats and are trapped and killed ritualistically by villagers to purge the source of their troubles.

In this context, a lion can be a fall guy.

WHERE ARE THE BEARS?

To answer OP's question. As far as personality traits and such are concerned, I'd most likely fall into bear territory.

>>4730959
Well I don't mind working in a team when it makes things easier. However I hate being part of a team that sucks. The last thing I want to do is go down with the team so if the team is bad then I'm gonna say "fuck this" and set off on my own.

Eton-educated Tiger, an aging bachelor and eternally touristy fop. Boating hat and all. Any half-cooked plan for this-or-that legendary pacific treasure is a worthy investment, as in any opportunity to tag along.

>>4730981
Or I would... if I had the guts. Instead I keep this damn management job and I vent my anger on my employees.

>>4730979
Bears are the bros of this world.

>>4730955
Genius. Well done-take things that are happening in our world, and see them through the lens of that one.

What happened to the Dodos? A peaceful, laid-back island-dweller culture that died out-or died way back-due to living in prime territory. Ditto the passenger pigeon-America's done some real nasty things in its past; the remaining pigeons that can tell you about the Trail of Tears can attest to that.

>>4730949
I approve. Figure out some way of him being useful, how he can feed himself-maybe he's just clever enough, possibly a con man-after all, Guinea Pigs are laid-back, easygoing folk, you can trust 'em, right?

>>4730975
We probably don't want things getting too complex now. I suggested Lions as Christians partly because of the whole regal thing but also the mentions of them in Christian mythology. Perhaps there religion encourages them to merciful to lambs and other prey species. That was what they considered to be the moral lesson of their religion. That Christ (or whatever you want to call him) taught them to, what else, love thy neighbor. If we want to bring about that African animosity then we have to bring ALLAH!

>>4730998
The Sabertooths had a thriving civilization in North America some 10,000 years ago but it died out quiet suddenly. Archeologists still debate exactly what happened to wipe out their civilization and all of their people.

>>4730988
Heavens, no. Bears, bros? Unlikely.

If anything, bros are bulldogs or pit bulls-inbred, aggressive, pack-inclined, and hate the outsider.

Bears...naturalists, lumberjacks, anything that takes a strong dude out in the middle of nowhere. Oil riggers too.

Conservation: A return to the way things once were.

A rat was recently elected to America's presidency.

Cow-Buddha? Bear-Buddha?

The only thing I remember about this show was the P-47s fighting the Chinese Panda Air Zeppelins.

I don't mind swimming in cold water. I like the cold. I'm fat and ugly. I've been called odd. I love fish. I love to fish.

Probably a walrus, though my teeth are fine.

>>4730934

I dunno. I am a big fan of monitor lizards. Although I thought the whole point of a stereotype was that some people reinforced it?

>>4730959

Oh wow. The komodo. Such a ridiculous predator. It will just follow you, and wait till it sees another of its buddies, then attack. The stuff around their teeth was apparently found to be not just bacteria from its system but an an actual venom as well, around the base of its teeth. Some iguanas have this as well.

I guess a lizard of some kind would make sense since I'm not exactly opposed to violence, but some kind of large lizard would make more sense than a snake- I'm not a charmer (Oh yes I just did) and I'm not afraid to appear dangerous. Probably be involved in transportation, have a lot of minor hobbies and always be polite with the locals unless they give me a reason to kick their heads in. Also enjoy sunbathing immensely and do it at every opportunity.

>>4731015
THE GREATEST CRIMINAL MIND!

>>4730975
The European Lineages of Lion were wiped out over the last two centuries. The French and Russian revolutions pretty much resulted in the genocide of European lions. Ditto for the Middle East.

>>4731012
So bears are likely easy going naturalists who have the temper of a rabid pitbull when they finally do get riled up?

>>4731009
Sabertooths: Anasazi?

>>4730999
usually christians were fed to lions, they'd make better sheep than predators.

Seriously, christians as lions is just CS Lewis influence.

>>4731031
Which is where a lot of bad blood between the wilds and the domesticariate come from.

>>4731036
That is exactly what I was thinking of though I was also wondering if perhaps they should represent the Maya, Inca, and Aztec as well. Or if we should find other species to represent them.

Also, did the colonization of the New World ever occur, or is only just now beginning. The new frontier?

>>4731026
You could be an otter or a seal, alternately.
Or a sea lion.

>>4731027
Good, be a monitor then. I approve heartily.

>>4731015
Don't you start. Let's keep politics out of this.

I would be a ferret. I sleep most of the day (and night) away when left to do so, but when I'm up and active, I'm almost constantly in motion, stopping only when something catches my interest enough that I just have to stop and study it for a bit. Chances are though I'll get bored of it quickly and find something else to do.

I'd have to fly something small-ish and very quick, very zippy. A one-man fighter, basically... anything that's much bigger is too slow and sluggish for my tastes. I'd probably be primarily flying escort for larger and/or unarmed craft like the Sea Duck.

I played in a semi free-form RP a long while ago in the Tale Spin setting, but grimdarked somewhat. Was very furry, but with a remarkable lack of furry drama and other faggotry. All I've listed was, in a nutshell, my character. He had a very close brush with death after being shot down one mission and decided to retire from combat flying, settling down instead with a girl who'd caught his fancy.

Good times.

I like you

Let's say that, say, America was colonized, and is pretty much as it was in the late 40s/mid 50s, but that Canada and South America are only just beginning to be explored.

Also, the Caribbean has a whole bunch more islands, because, y'know, you want a bunch.

>>4731050
Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I'd say the new world has been colonized. Maybe the red wolf could be the living native american equivalent?

What about certain animals that are lower in population?

Birds of prey for example. The peregrine falcon is on the endangered species list. What would the other races opinion of them be, and what position would they occupy in society, if any?

>>4731056
>>4731031
...which makes the Communists not bears, but rats, mice, rabbits, and other rodents.

Stalin would be a wolverine though, fucker was NUTS.

Gotta have a few bears, though.

Also: What are penguins?

Lrn2differentiateBetweenCartoonyAntropomorphicanimalsAndFurries.

Furries are the IRL people that do shit like fursonas and such.
Those guys are called Furries.
Those guys are what the term "Furry" refers to.

can I be a pangolin?

>>4731066
...maybe. Mixed with the few surviving passenger pidgeons.

>>4731067
I've been thinking about this. I think rare species should reflect rare people or "dying breeds".

One of these.
Not domesticated, no. Wild.
As both human and animal I can't keep my nose out of things.
My image and text 'collection' is extensible. As a pig it would mostly be leftovers and dirt piles, though.

>>4731067
Think of them as island nationalities in real life. Only of-course they don't necessarily come from an actual island.

>>4731087

So falcons and whatnot could be extremely confident, steady heroic types with a steady glare? Maybe a lot of them died in the last Great War.

Actually, this is probably just my history fagging talking, but wouldn't this be double awesome if mixed with World War 2?

Assorted animals storming Normandy into a hail of gunfire.

>>4731078
Pangolins are awesome-maybe. Help us fluff 'em, and we'll think about it.

I want to be a bear.

Not an anthropmorphic bear, or an awakened bear, or anything like that.


Just a Bear.

>>4731101

Getting flashbacks to that avalanche of Pokemon WW2 a few months ago, when you say this. And since that was awesome... make it so.

>>4731045
There may be a couple surviving royal families and a small population of lions/or-what-have-you living in England and a few other countries but both officially and politically they only have symoblic power.

So.... who were the Nazis? Or were they no Nazis?

pangolins probably fit in the same personality group as sloths, thinking about it.

>>4731101
Sounds good-they were fighter aces?
>>4731117
Hitler was a cat.

Most cats want nothing better than to forget this.

>>4731117
I'm thinking Foxes might represent the Irish... or have a history with England that mirrors that.

>>4731130
Hitler was a cat though he paradoxically promoted the idea that German Shepards were a better breed than all others.

>>4731113

I had an idea for more of just a grimdark Pokemon game a while ago. It would take place on Johto but would be more akin to the manga, folks with guns, pokemon fucking dying, trainers being electrocuted by pokemon if they weren't fast enough and dying.

I was going to do it fast and loose in GURPS, but HERO looks like a better fit.

By the way, the Slipstream book has rules for differing stats for a bunch of different animals for animal-people, since it's a pulp setting. This Buck Rogers. THAT pulp. Can be found below:

http://www.mediafire.com/?kimnomdmmyu

The table should be in the contents but I'll post it once I get the pdf open.

Who should the Axis' main peoples be? The Japanese are actually Islanders, but they have that whole cultural honor thing. The Italians I have no idea about. Hitler could actually be a duck... Like Donald.

>>4731137
German Shepards were created as this worlds equivalent of the S.S. Meant to shepard all German breeds toward their glorious future. However the underlying politics are probably too complex to bother fleshing out.

See, you're all going about it wrong. Animals represent personalities (although, they sometimes might be ironic or dark), not analogues for races.
Although: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kDbGdoDXE4

>>4731137
Brilliant!

>>4731137
Sounds good to me.

>>4731140
Nah, Donald HATED the Nazis. You should see some of the old war toons.

...careful of Bugs Nips the Nips, though, that one's just a tad on the side of disturbing.

Japanese I'm having a bit of a time quantifying, but I'm thinking they'd be one of the indigenous dog breeds-remember, inbred and somewhat crazy.
POSSIBLY a collection of the various Japanese dog breeds, mixed with tanuki and other indigenous fauna.

>>4731158
Well yeah but... they have to be races too and that necessitates nations and politics.

>>4731158
Well.. yeah.

In reality any nation would have a anthropomorphic population roughly equivalent to its indigenous species.
So, Raccoon Samurai?

>>4731158
from what i can tell this is no longer strictly talespin but also darksad and maus as well. or elements from them.

>>4731158
Genius.

I was wondering how to involve pigs.

>>4731185
Sounds about right to me

I'd be a rat. A rich rat. With hired muscle in the form of two wolverines.

Rabbi Mole.

>>4731189
The best of all settings-so yes.

I'm not going to name this, because giving it a name just dooms it to failure-Unified Setting, anyone?

So, right now, it's Talespin. It WAS Maus. Blacksad'll be in a few years, when a certain rooster starts going on drunkenly about commies.

Continue.

>>4731170

True, Donald did hate the Nazis... But the old war toon I saw had his conscience get the old mustache and bang comb stuck on it and I realized that Donald and Scrooge are both ridiculously bad-tempered, and could likely get riled up easily, much like Hitler. What better reason to hate him?

Also: Named races in Slipstream on page 13. Plenty besides the animal races, but the entry of Shark-men poses another question: Are we just doing mammal-reptile-bird or are we adding fish to the mix? At the risk of turning this into Spongebob? On one hand, no fish I can remember from Talespin, but on the other JAWESOME.

>>4731208
Pure villain material.
Some of the grognards here would slap the race label on rat = evil by nature since you were born that way, but wouldn't it be ironic if you became a rat by being... ratty?

>>4731185

Or maybe even... Tanuki?

>>4731218
Don't you mean it *will* be Maus in a few years?
Tailspin is set in the 1930s.

>>4731221
Fish are troublesome. We need a food source for the majority of the races, and since we have a LOT of carnivores running around...fish seem the best idea.

So the smarter fish are sentient-sharks, whales, dolphins, orcas. Everything else, you can eat.

Thing is, the Japanese eat whale...how do the whales fight back?

>>4731221
I don't know, I could go either way on fish. I rather liked that fish inn owner in FFIX. If fish are anthro-ized then they need be found somewhat loathsome by other species if only because they are always moist and oily.

>>4731221
You'll notice that the WW2 war propaganda is totally different than the modern propaganda about the Nazis, considering it took them awhile to settle on a version of the Holocaust myth they liked.

Not to mention that the Red Cross themselves searched the concentration camps and found no reason to think there was abuse going on, but I'm sure the Red Cross was in on it too.

>>4731229
Well then I don't think we need to worry at all about the Nazis. However we might make mention of a political party in Germany, currently headed by a cat, which is promoting the German Shepard as the ideal domesticariate breed that all others should model themselves after.

>>4731226
Actually, yeah, tacky suits and whatnot

>>4731229
Really? Thought it was in the fifties.

My mistake.

...interesting. Has a lot of possibilities.

I did forget to mention Lackadaisy Cats; that'll be important.

>>4731240
Falcons, Eagles, and such thus were the flying aces of the Great War.

>>4731227
Don't go there; we don't need magic.

All of you are now hearing the opening theme to Talespin in your head

Manually

>>4731236
Not to mention the Nazis tried pretty hard to keep what was going on in the camps secret. If the Red Cross was coming they'd clean up the camps, feed some of the prisoners, and give them new uniforms.

>>4731260
fuuuck i am humming it

>>4731260
I'm not, because I can't remember it. While I liked Tailspin my parents wouldn't pay for Disney so I didn't get to watch it too often.

What's going on here?

>>4731285
Bad ass motherfucker

>>4731241
Dali whiskers and a sneer too?

I image the transference from one animal characteristic to another to be a gradual buildup culminating with an emotional event.
Childhood would be an ambiguous slow flux of phenotypes, but puberty would put a more solid face to specific animal type along with personality maturation.
... sometimes very suddenly.

Loved the show. I mean you can make a setting out this, but I'd limit the number of animals that appear.

I'd limit it to:

Bears
Primates
Canines
Felines
&
Lizards

Most the others animals were minor characters. We can have certain species represent cultural groups of the real world for example the Brown Bear & Black Bear be partially natives to North America...etc.

I'd play this on the Savage Worlds system, great system for this type of stuff.

>>4731240
Dude, we need some Casablanca/Tales-of-the-Golden-Monkey Nazi agent intrigue going on. Hunting political enemies and foreign spies in gin-joints the world over in the years before the war.
That aging doberman with the eyepatch watching you from the corner? Yeah, he's a Kraut. No, don't let the accent fool ya. He fought in the Great War, and now, instead of hunting tanks, he hunts "the leader's" enemies on these islands.

Of course, not all Nazis go cloaked, these are the years before the war so Nazism is a legitimate party and Germany a resurgent international power. Seeing an SS uniform is no more repugnant or scary than an military in these topical climes. Just depends who you're in trouble with.

>>4731250

They don't need to be magic. Although having some element of the supernatural could add to the setting. Like maybe some snakes can hypnotize you with a glare, or a lion's roar can scare the living daylights out of just about anything, and elephants have extremely good memories.

Not saying I'd give someone in this setting those abilities, but they'd be perfect for villains.

As far as villainous elephants go: They all must look like Frankie Peanuts.

>>4731272
It was on WB after school, or perhaps only when beginning, then moved to Disney.
I feel sorry for today's kids watching Disney. Hannah Montana, etc. It's sad.

>>4731300
Don't. Restrict. Creativity.

Smack down Mary Sues and HURR IMMA DEMUN types all you want, but don't prevent someone from playing a pangolin, or a rat, or a golden lion tamarin.

Continue.

>>4731301
>>4731305
Very much agreed

>>4731305
Well that's okay, I guess. Just as long as they aren't doing anything weird with their scrotums.

What if you were this?

>>4731367
Wrong time period

>>4731358
I would make large pants the greatest extent of it; perhaps a critcal fluffed as a shot to the nads-but no more.

Now. We have-
-Nazi Alsatians.
-Rats and Mice as cheap labor-but are we going to go completely the Maus route for this, or go with Blacksad's monkeys? Possibly a mix of every specie the Nazis didn't like?
-Can be in the 30s, the 40s, or the 50s-30s for Pulp; 40s for War Stories; 50s for Red Scare, Noir, and Intrigues.
-Lots of different races, corresponding.

Also, have we hit autosage?

>>4731305
>villainous elephants
I just realized that Mammoth Mogul would be at home in this setting. Nice suit and all. He'd probably have to leave behind most of his powers.

>>4731391
I say we go for a 1930's setting. Early 1930's. The Great War still provides plenty of war stories about the trenches and the dueling falcons above.

>>4731393
Sadly the great Mammoth civilizations died out around the same time as the Sabertooth Cats'. Some speculate they were all related. Some kind of world-wide natural disaster.

I'm betting it was Yellow Stone or some other volcano.

Mammoths

>>4731367
Ew.

>>4731419
I'LL WEAR YOUR BONES AROUND MY NECK!

>>4731391
Think so

Shit, we HAVE hit autosage.

Anyone request archive yet?

I have, just in case.

>>4731391
Or they carry pouches of usefull stuff. When Pom-Poko was localized, they called their testicles "raccoon pouches."
And yes, this thread has over 200 replies. Archiving this would be nice.

>>4731436
If I were an anthro geoduck, yes.
Yes you could.
3 or 4 passes around, probably.

>>4731445
Great thread but I'm tired and I need to go to bed. So, sleep time now. It's 4 AM.

>>4731451
Kay, how long does it usually take to archive?

>>4731462
7 AM. I stayed up all night to reset my ever-later insomnic habit.

So are we done for tonight or new thread?

>>4731436
HURRY UP AND DIE! I'M HUNGRY!

>>4731473
Someone else archive just in case mine doesn't go through.

Here:

Title:
Talespin And Other Awesome Things
Description:
Possible troll turns into an interesting discussion on turning TaleSpin into a campaign world. BlackSad, Maus, Lackadaisy are added, and it only improves from there.
Tags:
Noir, Pulp, Blacksad, Maus, Talespin, Setting, Nazis, Ideas, Furry, Good

As for ideas...let's wait until tomorrow, and continue then. Let what ideas we have percolate and continue to develop until we start a new thread.

Same eyecatcher image?

Additionally, my request just went through; few errors, though.

>>4731469
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html
It's pretty much archived. Just go and vote + for it, and it'll stick around on suptg.

>>4731473
I'm going to call it a night. It'd be nice to see a new thread at some point, though.

>>4731494

Cool. I'll see if I can't come up with a not shitty name. I was thinking just Spin would be decent- better than anything else I have at present.

>>4731494
You left out Joann Sfar's Donjon.

A komodo dragon ex-soldier from WW1 with half of his face replaced by a stell mask (he got shot by a german pilot in a dogfight). He pilots an old Sopwith 2F.1 Camel.

>>4731518
Mmn...it works, but it doesn't feel quite right.

Noirclaw...pulpclaw...nah. Doesn't sound right either.

Let's just leave it unnamed for the time being-WE know what it is; others will come across it and join if it's meant to be.

A name just lets people objectify it. Look at all the hate for namefags and tripfags, trolling or no.

>>4731559
SpinClaw?

>>4731553
Could be interesting.

>>4731576
I think it's best if we avoid the various Prefixclaws. It'll just provide ammo for people to go HURF DURF IRONCLAW.

Again, make it unnamed. We go without names; let's do the same for our setting.

>>4731553

Holy shit, this sounds awesome.

Scary as shit motherfucker coming after you with a steel face, what now?

>>4731584
Indeed. I'd make him an NPC rather than a PC, though, and make him SCARY. Not misunderstood, not regretful, SCARY. This fucker just wants revenge-as many Krauts dead as he can fill full of lead.

I'm off to bed, /tg/. Good night everyone, and sleep well.

I await tomorrow and its threads eagerly.

>Donjon

>Oddball French fantasy comic FTW.
>Another hidden gem, not spread very far in English-speaking countries possibly due to politics.
>/tg/ would adore it.

Donjon = Teh awesome. I'm gonna translate some of it one day. Sad thing is I can't decide whether I should pick Cloak&Dagger Dawn, High lulz fantasy Zenith or GRIMGRIMDARK Dusk.
