Bump

I was once invited to one.
When I got there, everyone was sitting around the table in full fursuits.
I left immediately without a word and drove home.

The key is, don't call them "furry" games. "Furry" games will inevitably slide into the fetish cesspit because that's what the term connotes, so if you advertise it as a furry game then that's the sort that it'll attract. There is a wide and rich, even literary and cultural, corpus of anthropomorphism that ranges far beyond the dreary and insipid squalid feculence of furries. Take from that instead.

Think of it this way. There are plenty of bad furry stories because the people we know are furries in real life have a higher chance of being the bad ones, or are more likely to make their fandom a central element of their identity. Because of this, more stories about furries will be bad ones and the negative stereotype persists. Besides, good furry stories just aren't as interesting.

"Oh, yeah, we had a player, and he may have been a furry. He was pretty cool, I guess."

That's not a story. That's a non-story. Stories about horrible furries fucking everything up are way more interesting, and are more likely to be told and remembered. Or, there are good stories about furries, but their being furries aren't critical to the stories themselves and are glossed over or ignored.

I once had a sci fi game in which it turned out one of the villains were trying to breed the ultimate warriors, mixes of human and animal DNA. Once we'd killed the scientist we had to choose what to do with them.

In character, only me and the furry player really wanted to let them free. The other three players went all "YIFF IN HELL" OOC and executed them in character.
I shrugged and frowned. The furry player ragequit.

>>16037785
Probably closer to this.

>>16037785
>>16037802
I alternated.

>>16037711
They did the right thing, Anon.

I once played with a furry GM. We ended up helping a church of fox and wolf furries against a band of Orcs.
He had a group of foxes rape the group's healer. Then, when she and the rest of the group tried to kill them, he stated that they were so cute and loving and gentle and skilled about the rape that she couldn't help but fall in love with them and want more, claiming that they were "Doing her a favor" and "Giving her a gift".
Needless to say, we murdered them anyway. DM pulled rocks fall, party dies, and left the store.

I once had amazing game (even considered doing writefagottery) where our band (of brethren) was employed my a which covenant to retrieve valuable idol from a group of bandits.

The catch: bandits have left a day ago and idol must soon be returned to shrine, else witches loose favours of forest god. The only way in which we could catch the bandits is to transfer our minds and take control of animals in area where bandits were hiding.

GM painted picture of us flying disembodied over the forest and asked us to choose a host. I chose an owl. Rest of band chose a bear, a fox, and a buffalo.

Game was absolutely amazing. Without edge in combat we had to contrive a plan to set bandits against each other. Me and fox were stealing gold, food and planting crumbs on sleeping bandits (LoTR I know, it gets better). Bear scared horses away. One night we stole rope, fox put a noose of sleeping bandit's leg- then buffalo dragged him from camp, out into the night screaming. We led bandits to terrible fear- culminating in scaring them away from camp, leaving all valuables.

This game was best.

>>16037867
>"doing her a favour"
Should have slapped his shit.

>>16037955
This... Actually sounds like a pretty cool game.

>>16037955
Being GM's acquaintance I knew he was a furry and I literally held my breath, when he revealed the session's twist. He is all into 'alternative states of mind' and claimed he could enter lucid dreams where he'd become a wild animal.

Never saw him wearing a fursuit though.

Mouse Guard is the least anthropomorphic thing involving small furry animals I've seen. And it's metal as fuck.

>>16037867
people like this make me upset to be a furry
(no I've never EVER wore a fursuit, and I never Will EVER)

never had a furry themed game, closest is my second ed campaign where I'm working on running a lizardman when my current character kicks the bucket.

I hear good things about Ironclaw.

>>16037955
>>16038040
That's no furry, that's shamanic Alan Moore cultist whatever kin.

Perhaps norse? They believed in parallel animistic souls that could abandon the body while sleeping or otherwise and go around. The shape the soul took could tell you something about the person.

>>16038108
what is Ironclaw?

>>16038179
A miserable pile of semen coated fursuits

>>16038138

sort of- but when confronted he did admit to indulging in furry porn. For most people that's enough to label someone as furry. At the same time, though an estimated 30% of people on a geek party I attended confessed to indulging during game of dare (that was fantasy/gamers fandom thing)

>>16038218
explain
I need to know if it's something to avoid

>>16038228
It's a system. That's all I know. A guy that does the art posts the race descriptions on his account. They're lengthy and it seems race plays a bigger role in character creation than in normal games.

>>16038228
It's just a fantasy game where all races are different anthropomorphic animals. Really. Can't say much about the system tough as I never managed to get into it. Cover is a Slayers ripp off and says nothing more than that the game contains furries.

bump for more horror stories

>>16038296
so
furry bait?

>>16038228

It is not >>16038218 is just spouting memes.

Ironclaw AFAIK is a generic colonial era setting with animal characters. Take it or leave it. Personally, I see little point to playing animal archetypes is typically human setting, but I do see the appeal.

>>16038228
It's a pretty good system which happens to involve anthropomorphic animals. Low magic fantasy, medieval, fairly good mechanically, and fairly easy to keep from the fetish shit.

One of my regular players was a furry. He kept that shit out of games, and once did a game of Ironclaw, with the caveat rule that "if I ever start sounding like one of those whiny Internet jackasses, punch me and the plot changes".

Didn't have to do that once. Had a Conanesque adventure wherein we fought the evil minions of the sorcerer who was enslaving 'people' (for lack of a better term) and releasing their instinctual, regressive behavior. Glorious fucking game, and one of the few times the guy GM'd, because of a bad experience of a player beating the shit out of him after tracking him across the Internet, figuring out he was a furry, and then deciding that a helpful animal guide was 'pure furfaggotry'.

Seriously, that story still makes me rage, and requires a bit of background. Anyone wanna hear it?

>>16038331
why the fuck not?

They're mentioning some of the good ones. Palladium doesn't do bad anthro(furry) gaming either, between TMNT and Rifts.

There's two kinds of furry. There's the fuck-perv furries, and then there's people who think anthromorphic animal-people are cool. We LARPer types have a good chunk of the latter, since we'd generally slap the shit out of someone fursuiting, but a good character is a good character, whether they're playing a human or an anthromorphic cat-race. Pic related to what we think of the fuckfest furry types.

>>16038331
>and one of the few times the guy GM'd, because of a bad experience of a player beating the shit out of him after tracking him across the Internet

What the fuck...You tell more.

>>16038331
Yes. Yes please.

>>16038331
Oh, jesus christ, what the hell? Seriously?
Did he end up in jail, at the very least?

>>16037867

>>16038347
First off, little background on the two guys involved.

Our furry player was your standard quiet, nerdy guy. Skinny, usually wearing something terribly unfashionable, and kinda awkward. Great guy, though, and always had my back; I still remember him hauling my drunk ass away from the campus police, breaking into a locked closet to hide me, and then throwing them off the trail. Total bro, and great roleplayer.

Our second player was your usual "alpha male" type gamer; you know the type. Always needs to prove that they're the best thanks to being a bit nerdy in high school, and thus overcompensating by being an aggressive ass to anyone he saw as 'less' than himself. All right player, usually was the GM, and an okay person, barring the flaws.

So, for clear reasons, Asshole really, really had trouble gaming with our furry gamer. He represented everything that this guy was trying to convince himself he wasn't; the pale, nerdy, awkward guy who loved gaming. Honestly, the only difference between them was that one of 'em was an asshole and one was a furry, and let me tell you, I much preferred the furry.

So, our furry player quietly mentions he's going to be running a game. Asshole, always looking for a reason to try and drive this guy away from gaming with him, starts making mocking comments, and finally declares that he'd already planned to run a game session that night. Seeing through this obvious bullshit, somebody tells him to knock it off, and we get the details.

System is going to be a homebrew the guy was working on; heroic fantasy, each player has a few 'freeform abilities', and all rolls are opposed. Backstory is important, so he asks us to work on it, and people prep to meet the next week.

>>16038331
I cannot properly express my contempt for such acts of hatred. Please tell us the story so I can righteous-rage about it.

>>16038371

Oh hey, that's maelstrom. Wooo!

>>16038438
Now, at this point, I know that Furry is, well, a furry, because he'd gotten hammered with me one night, and he felt it would be cool mentioning it to me. I honestly didn't give a shit; after you've spent a night piss-drunk with a man, playing darts and trying to pick fights in fake accents, then you don't give a shit what gets 'em going or how the play on the 'net. Besides, he was a chill guy.

So, about halfway through the week, Asshole stops by my place to 'ask a few questions on the game'. He comes, sits down, and pulls out a fucking LIST of websites and connections between this guy and some furry stuff. He then airs his concern that we're "playing with a goddamn furfaggot" and how we need to tell him to cut it the fuck out.

I point out that he's being paranoid, there's never been anything to indicate this, and I'm damn well not going to drive off a good gaming pal because of that. I figure this guy is just looking for an excuse to get Furry out of the group, and so I tell him to drop it and just not show. He goes off, annoyed I'm not taking his side, but otherwise somewhat reasonable.

So, game night. Things are going fairly well; the setting is really goddamn interesting. World's covered in a giant forest, villages are fairly secretive and insular, and iron is incredibly fucking rare. There's a great sequence where we track down a weird tree monster and subdue it, and then, things get ugly.

Furry, now really feeling his stride at being a GM again, describes how a little bird flits down and begins mentioning how this tree-beast is the symptom of a larger disease of the forest.

Asshole immediately gets confrontational. He'd been bored, as his idea of a good freeform character was a man specialized in hitting things, and he completely ignored the setting info FurryGM gave us beforehand, so he was clearly trying to stir up shit.

>>16038322
that sounds kinda cool actually

>>16038529
I fucking hate this guy. Leave the furfag alone! He's one of us!

>>16038467

Indeed it is. I find LARPers tend to be a little more reasonable about it, because you find out in a hurry the folks playing the wemics aren't going YIFF YIFF YIFF whenever nobody's looking.

(I may be an American LARPer, but I get around.)

>>16038529
I am hooked! Godspeed!

>>16038575
That's the thing. Furfag is not Yifffag.

I fucking hate that word too. I mean, everyone knows there is awesome anthro art out there (pic related), but, too easy to find YIFFYIFFYIFFPORNPORNPORN to be worth anything. And no one would mind, except, it's /bad/ porn.

Ugh.

I mean, for a 2e game, my first character was a fox bard, who went around, trickster style, and had a lot of fun, and managed to be the only one /not/ killed. I enjoyed it!

Eh. Too many yifffags ruin it for everyone.

>>16038529
Now, spirit bird talking as the voice of the forest? Perfectly good in mythology. Asshole doesn't think so, though.

He starts groaning about 'played out shit', and the GM asks him to be quiet. He gets confrontational;
>Yeah, I bet you want to talk through a fucking bird.
>...wha? Dude, what are you talking about? We're playing a game here.
>It's clear, man; you're a furry. Keep that furfaggotry out of games. I can always see you pulling that shit, and I'm fucking tired of it.

Bear in mind, up until this point, the most 'furry' character this guy had played was a urban barbarian. A human urban barbarian, who happened to train horses and get in bar fights. So, this is just pure bullshit.

Me and the other two players are paralyzed. This guy is now beginning to get rolling, and starts walking up to FurryGM, starts spouting screennames, websites, and other information that would have taken a long while to track down. Saying how this guy was 'a clear furfaggot' and how he should 'go game with his furry pals and stop creeping normal people out'.

Finally, he starts telling us how we shouldn't put up with it. FurryGM puts up a half-hearted defense, saying how he's never allowed this shit to cross into his normal life, and Asshole simple shoots back that "it's obvious, I could just fucking know".

Finally, asshole takes a swing at FurryGM. The guy takes the hit, and realizing that he'll need to defend himself, tries punching Asshole. Seeing as he is a skinny nerd, this does no real damage, and Asshole sees it as justification to begin kicking Furry's ass.

>>16038633
truth
I enjoy the porn but I don't run around advertising it or just being creepy in general.

>>16038645
I hope you smacked a bitch!

>>16038645
Go, story man! Kick that asshole in the balls!

>>16038645
See, I've never had to deal with this, but because of the horror stories, I always bring a nice, heavy pipe wrench in my bag whenever I'm gaming with a new group. Or player. Or... well, I just bring it.

That said, one of our usual players? Furry. Has been for decades. No one gives a flying fuck, because he knows what acceptable table manners are, and he's damn funny.

>>16038645

Finally, the group snaps out of the fucking fugue caused by an asshole suddenly assaulting a group member, and hauls them apart. Furry is bleeding and has a black eye, and Asshole is wondering why we aren't helping him when "the other guy started it!"

I tell Asshole to fuck off before I call the goddamn cops, and get the guy some medical attention. FurryGM, who has a guilt complex or some shit, refuses to press charges because he doesn't want to make life difficult for someone else, and drops from gaming for about three months due to that.

I finally rouse him from this depression by getting him blind stinking drunk, running a game of Paranoia, and convincing him that yes, gaming is something he enjoys and is good at. We celebrated by going to Asshole's apartment, puking on his couch, and legging it into the distance while he yelled at us.

Honestly, this is why I don't like the "hurr durr all furries are faggots die' attitude people get. There are good ones out there; it's just rare, they're quiet as fuck, and you'll only find out about them when they hit bro-tier and are willing to reveal the darkest shame of gaming.

No idea what Asshole is doing these days, but Furry is slowly breaking into the industry. He's got playtesting credits on several RPGs, and is working on getting his writing out there.

>>16038645

>>16038689
totally serious cool story bro

>>16038689
manlytears.jpg

Yeah, that guy was a bro, but he's also lucky to have a bro, y'know. Breaking him out of that funk was the bro thing to do.

My group ran a DnD campaign in a homebrew setting awhile back, where one of my roommates made a catgirl rogue/assassin character. We gave her a lot of grief about it at first because she had to compromise with the DM on allowing anthro characters (since he originally didn't have any races like that in the setting), but once we got the backstory hammered out, she roleplayed it fine. Nothing sexual or insisting on being a "special snowflake" to hog the story's spotlight like most horror stories you hear involve.

Her character ended up pulling a downright badass "taking you with me" moment in the final session of the campaign too.

>>16038689
Brofist.

Right through the FUCKING internet.

You know what? I'm gonna run a fucking Jadeclaw game. JUST BECAUSE OF THIS FUCKING THREAD.

FUUUUUUUUUUCK PRODUCTIVE RAGE!

Man... this story hits home. I've dealt with so much shitty nerd drama. I love being friends with people like this, they're fun as fuck to hang around, but NOBODY has baggage like nerds have baggage. Jesus christ. Sometimes I feel more like a therapist than a friend. Good on you for straightening shit out, the stuckup asshole alpha nerd stereotype is probably the most annoying kind of person out there.

>>16038689
I'll agree. Breaking someone out of one of those black depressions is very hard to do, but if someone can do it right, it can make for long lasting friendships.

And puking on the couch of an asshole is /always/ a bro thing to do.

Here, have a badger weilding a deadly yoyo.

Well I'm pleasantly surprised, /tg/.

FLAWLEES VICTORY!

While furries are reviled across the internet, I figure in gaming circles they're pretty innocuous. Sex aside, we've all seen enough whiny, entitled shitheads who are obsessed with and live vicariously through elves/vampires/dragons/etc that somebody doing it through their fox fursona is honestly pretty mundane. It's the personality, not the fetish, that's the problem. And we've dealt with that shit forever.

>>16038689

I'm with you on that; I've had two furries in my group over the last ten years. One was a little psychotic and got kicked the fuck out. The other was and still is perfectly chill and does nothing about his private life shit. He's been in the group for 3 years now and there's never been an issue at all. Hell, only reason I even know was when I went over to his apartment a few times and met his roommate, who crafted fursuits for a damn living. She was pretty cool, I'll admit. And hey, if she can convince someone to pay her 600-900 dollars for something she built with 70 dollars worth of materials from a craft store, more power to her I say.

Its like anything with a sexual connotation; don't do it places where people who aren't interested congregate.

furry = fetish fuel
games with anthropomorphic animals = for sane people.

Are there scantly clad fox ladies on the cover of the rulebook? Chances are it's a fucking wankfest.
Are there four humanoid fighting turtles with differently colored head-bands on the cover? Chances are you won't have to hide this under your mattress.

For a more freeform based RPG (the DM had rules and let us build, but did all the roles behind the scenes) for a forum game, I had a lot of fun playing a large lizard-man called Sarak. In a science fiction/magic/psionic game, he went around, loincloth and a fuckall huge sci-fi war hammer. He was very fun to have around, and though a lot of my characters are high-brow, very smart characters, being a very dumb, but 'smashy smashy' type, especially in a sci-fi game, is exceedingly enjoyable.

You know, I aughta bring Mr. Sarak back to a game sometime. Big, dumb, innocent, but loves to be rambunctious and smashy, is there any better character?

>>16038719
Right on!

Though personally, go with Ironclaw. It's basically the same game with a bunch of mechanical fixes, plus the second printing of it should be out.

>>16038785

In my current group, the furry was the only really cool one, and she moved away a few months back.

As soon as I find a better group, I am fucking out of there, though.

>>16038787

*nods* Yiffy vs. anthro, basically.

Fuck, I've met more creepy "vampires" at LARPs than people playing anthros. There's just something about the whole blood/seduction/sex thing that drags the real pervs in by the bucketload.

It's part of the reason I don't play Mind's Eye Theatre stuff nowadays. Too many people I got to know post-game that were lower on the Humanity score than their characters. Or not far off, if the PC was on the bottom end of the scale.

By comparison, most of the folks I know LARPing as scavengers, wolfen, catfolk, etc. are normal bros by comparison. One of them is a makeup artist who just likes playing characters that let her do a lot of her work on herself and other people.

I was running a weird west campaign a long while ago with a coyote-man race... they were one of the three 'native' races to the land, the others being elves and dwarves, and they were the ones that had warmed up to the newcomers the most (wait, you have weapons that can kill a buffalo in one shot...? SOLD!).

One of my favorite memories was a player running a coyote snake oil salesman. Smarmy, nasty, high charisma, packed a .50 caliber derringer.

They had been rounded up by the Marshall, who was crooked to the core - not our BBEG, but close - and he was getting ready to kill the others... and the coyote asks if he'll kill the elf first. The Marshall stares, and asks him why.

"A guy deserves a last meal, doesn't he? And come on, look at the muscles on that guy. He's lean, but probably not stringy. Nice and tender... should have some good marbling, too."

That managed to shake the Marshall to the point where he didn't notice the coyote picking the lock on his handcuffs...

They managed to get out of there, "kill" the Marshall (he was undead, but they wouldn't realize that until later) and get back to town. The elf starts praising the coyote over drinks, telling him that he owes him his life for the trickery.

The coyote informs him that he was dead serious. "Not that I'd want to kill you otherwise... but if you're gonna die..."

>>16038866
Yeah I know what you mean about vampire larps.

You know it doesn't matter what fetish someone has, or even if they lack a fetish, bringing inappropriate shit to the roleplaying table simply makes them That Guy.
And That Guy crosses all barriers of skin color, age, or sexual preferences.
Although I'm guessing they are not getting so much sex and being very upset and repressed about it.

>>16038916
>"Not that I'd want to kill you otherwise... but if you're gonna die..."

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/16037299/
vote me up, bros!
This is something I want all of /tg/ to beable to read.

Mouse guard.
Its like redwall all up in this motherfucker.

>>16038961
i have four mice and i love forcing them to act out that shit

i have a feeling they don't enjoy it nearly as much as i do, though

>>16038932
That would be the elf player's reaction.

The coyote was playing the scavenger "wild dog who happens to be able to talk" mindset to the hilt, and it really worked.

Not a furry.
Not even interested in anthro animals.
But I really like playing lizardmen.

When I was younger our group had a permanent GM that was a gay guy that was into anthro stuff, he could be irritating at times but for other reasons common to roleplayers.
In fact, the werewolf campaign we ran was so fun that our group slept over at the RP and Board games club on numerous occasions because we stayed up so late gaming.
And I can't recall a single time that anything "yiff" was involved, it was pretty much us ripping apart fomori, going on spirit quests and fighting the technocracy.

Best thing was that he never pulled his punches when we did something risky. Hell I even lost one character just from jumping into the spirit world without proper preparation.

>>16038689
I hope Asshole is miserable. I'm glad Furry is doing well. You're both alright.

Nice hugbox you've got going here, guys.

So are there any actual furries in this thread or is it just /tg/ shrugging and preaching love and tolerance regardless of what tosses someone's salad for them?

>>16039237
Probably both.

>>16039237
Judging from the horribly written description this thread has on suptg, I'd guess there is at least one furry invovled.

>>16039237
Me, kind of. I've left it out of just about everything gaming related though. NO ONE MUST KNOW MY SECRET.

>>16039264
Or a christian from the looks of it.

>>16039280
Can you actually be a furry without being an obnoxious fuck IRL?

>>16039280

Thank you. Please continue to keep it out of gaming. No one must know your secret, and no one wants to.

Would be interesting to see if we could get an anthro game going from this.

I should have posted this earlier.

>>16039301
Yeah, everyone in my circle of friends likes me. I'm always invited to join different gaming groups, even some more exclusive ones that weed out obnoxious players.

I am conflicted. On the one hand, epic story. On the other, almost all the furries I've ever met have been of the sort that would basically deserve the beating bro!furry got.

>>16039403
The only evidence I've seen of these "furfags" as you call them is of frothing hatemongers screaming about how exaggeratedly horrid they are. It's almost as if they were overreacting to completely harmless and innocuous things and inventing fantasy scenarios to rationalize their illness.

>>16039237
I used to be one, but then I just sort of 'quit'. One day I woke up and thought 'right, that's enough of that furry stuff' and that was that.

>>16039479
When I was in college, there was this one furfag who wore fox ears and a tail EVERYWHERE HE WENT. I'm really not sure whether even he would have deserved a beating like that, cause he was so creepy to look at I just avoided all contact with him.

>>16039237

I am a furry, I just don't tell anyone. ANYONE. Keep that on the internet/with certain people. I also don't make it public at all, I don't wear collars etc. (Though I probably would if I had a ladyfriend who would enjoy it.)

Though my brother knows, jesus christ. Damn you WoW, why did I join the same guild as my brother? That guild just so happened to be the secret furry meetingplace of our server. Eventually it leaked over to him. He's cool though.

I still get shit about it from the leader, he's cool too though. I don't play WoW any more, but I still get on Vent sometimes.

I've never had any kind of problem with furriness and my D&D groups, they don't know a thing.

>>16039513
The pic doesn't say they're a pox on society. It's true that they're mostly harmless and anyone who automatically hates someone for a trivial interest is a gigantic douche. I'd choose a furry over some douche, as long as the suit comes off.

>>16039577
I know this one at my college that skateboards. He's pretty good.

>>16039587
I'd beat the shit out of you if you were my brother.

Speaking of furry RPG's, has anyone tried After the Bomb yet? It has a great premise and setting, albeit some serious game balance issues.

>>16039613
It still tries to dehumanize them by exaggerating their hobby into a supposed "lifestyle" and "borderline cult" and parroting stereotypes like "they're FREAKS who always FORCE their HORRID GARBAGE where it doesn't belong" (read: they try to connect their interests together, like everybody else). The suggestion that any reasonable person would be "deeply embarrassed" by them (like the extrimist haters are said to think) wasn't missed either.

Sure, you chould cherry-pick out a few people who fit half the stereotype, but having it constantly brought up whenever a "good one" comes up, as if to remind people that THE BAD ONES ARE OUT THERE and that anything that dispels the stereotype is an exception, is very unkind to the ever-popular "I only mean the bad ones, let me monger my hate" excuse.

i know it isn't a RPG, but there is this wargame called Brushfire:Historia Rodentia, which i find a neat concept.
It's kinda like Ironclaw: the Wargame from what i've read of the rpg
Pic is the british dog faction.

See, imagine how often you would actually get to play that, firstly because it's largely obscure, and secondly how many people would go "lolnope" because it's a furry game.

Now think of the money you'd have to put into making an army/warband for it.

Just doesn't seem worth it.

>>16039973
yeah yeah
just wanted to mention it

Honestly, never had problems with people playing anthropomorphic animals. No yiffers or sparkledogs whatsoever.

If someone acts like a faggot, kick them out for acting like a faggot. Simple as that.

Good experiences? Well, mainly mouseguard. Amazing stuff. The mousy perspective really makes things somehow feel extremely epic. Also, the setting is really unique in many aspects - no magic, low tech, non-religious, non-materialistic (you fight for the good of the mouse race, not for money or loot). I can't name any settings that have all these aspects.

>>16039831
In context of the picture, pointing out the crazy part of the fanbase provides a counter balance to the crazy part of the normal people. It comes off as parroting stereotypes, but they're drawing a line between extremes.

>>16037299
does anyone have after the bomb second ed
my search for it seems to have no end

>>16040089
Thinking of the stereotype as "like the good ones who know their place, but MORE" is still reinforcing it. Black people who commit crimes aren't "more black" than the normal ones who are "reasonable" enough to feel ashamed of their race because of them. They're people who fit into category X and category Y, not people who are more or less X.

>>16040301
Oh boy, this is like the good old days on Portal of Evil.

Please, do continue.

>>16040301
I think the fact that we're going from an odd internet subculture on one side, to an internet subculture of hate for other internet subcultures is why the source subculture is being defined at its most drastic by its negative stereotypes. It shows what the anti-furfag sees when he rages and why everything anthropomorphic is ruined for him, though we know it's not the furfag's fault.

Please don't compare subcultures to race.

No, thanks.

You are rightly and justly hated for your sick fetishes and always will be. of course any game composed of your ilk will implode into yiffing and weird bullshit. THAT'S WHO YOU ARE. That's who you choose to associate with when you identify yourself as a furry. pedoos, diaper freaks, inflationfags, and bronys.
These are your peers.You choose to be one of these people. Please think about that.
Get out now before your self esteem is damaged for good.

>>16040516
This is like saying somebody into BDSM is choosing to associate themselves with Ian Brady and Myra Hindley.

>>16040493
I second that notion- I've actually tried to play after the bomb but, I just couldn't due to serious imbalance issues. Its a great premise, ruined by gameplay

>>16040516
I am really curious about the story behind that image.

>>16040805
It's a shoop.
The orignal 'just' had a guy in a full fursuit.

*sigh*

Ok, let's get one thing straight here. ANY GAME CAN BE A FURRY GAME.

DnD, Mutants and Masterminds, Savage Worlds, Shadowrun, blah blah blah. The mechanics inherent to the game are meant to simulate a style of gameplay, not a genre of characters.

Pick whatever you want, be creative, and do your own thing. Stop buying prepackaged ideas. You'll save money and you'll become a better GM for it.

>>16040842
>You'll save money and you'll become a better GM for it.

But never a better human being.

>>16040856

Of course not, that's silly. The different systems have no effect on the status of your humanity.

>>16040887
I like games with a humanity stat.

They help me remember.

>>16040900

what you have lost?

that's what they do for me.

>>16040887
Quite a few of them track your sanity, though. Watching that freefall must be disconcerting.

>>16038218
>>16038179

I lol'd

There have been several half-beast characters, mostly NPCs, in a years- long DnD campaign I'm still playing, but there never was any issue with them... They were sentient creatures, same as any other. One was a funny character, the closest thing to comic relief we had, a foxman... he ended up ruling a kingdom somehow. Now we have a foxgirl NPC, a forest warrior with a heart of gold, who we don't see very often.
Also had at some point a foe who was a Kajit, who liked to eat humanoid flesh and tried to set herself up back as Empress and conquer half the world or something. (We stopped that one.) It was because it's a classical trait of fantasy villains, not for vore or anything. And it worked! Our characters were happy and proud to have stopped that horrible cat/woman. What possible issue with this?

Or, what is the problem with a player who wants to play the archetypal Minotaur Warrior? It's not like ours is wanting to play one to do porn with it, all he wants is martial adventures.

tl;dr. As long as it's not for fetish reasons, there is no issue with the presence of furry characters. The beast/human hybrids are fantasy classics, so as long as there is no issue with them, just leave them be.

I've only known for a year so far No one knows
and if I have my way no one will
for me all it is is a fetish not into the whole "Furry lifestyle" idea

>>16042691
>TFW you type actually instead of actual

I see no issues so long as it doesn't get sexual.
really, ANY player getting sexual AT ALL in an RPG is freaky shit.
Really, we have an entire race devoted to people who are half animals. They're elven druids who got stuck halfway in wildform, and essentially created a new species.
one of my best players played a four armed anubis beastkin.
he became one of if not the strongest character to date. and NOTHING freaky ever happened, mentioned or occurred.
fade to black, kicking, or severe beatings normally fix it.

>>16042917
actually..funny story.
different player.
orck/dragonkin (our dragonborn), became lycanthrope. If he takes off his mask, induces sans checks.
wears gimp mask, and full adamantine armour.
wields mahogany dildo as weapon.
named dildor gaggins. Essentially superhero, who rapes evil. His best friends and comrads are a sentient muppet weasel, a psionic stick figure, and a komodo dragon lizardman who only interest is eating things and druid shit.
I hate my players. most of the time.
I'd stop their shit if they'd quit being so goddamn hilarious.

>>16042970
wut?

>>16043315
yup. my reaction 90% of the time.
I hope SOMEONE out there has the same kind of group?...
It doesn't help that they literally and figuratively rape everything they come across.
and they're the most heroic group I have.
the other groups I run for NEVER party. Ever.
all 3 groups of5, all lone wolves.
and not a single furry yet at least. too much drama attached.

>>16043463
god that group sounds awful

>>16042970
It's like looking at my own group. Stupid shit everywhere destroying campaigns with great abandon but it is fucking hilarious

>>16042872
>Really, we have an entire race devoted to people who are half animals. They're elven druids who got stuck halfway in wildform, and essentially created a new species.

That... that actually is a neat idea. Care to elaborate? Was it like a curse or an accident or what?

I've never had any problems with furries in games ever. Probably because I haven't played anything in a long while, but hey...

>>16043509
Accident.
thought they'd survive exile by their "high" elven arcane wielding bastard brethren better as animals.
Oops, their bad.
>>16043508
>>16043485
Believe it, or not, they don't tned to derail THAT badly.
Only mildly.
say, we beat the barbarian lord threatening our delciious status quo.
whaddya we do with our money?
uplift a bumfuck farm town into a small town devoted to the god of hedonism, and put into place very specific laws to keep the peace and stability of said town in check.
then find next thing that is threatening or just inherently bad and kill it. all the while fighting for the common man's interest.
they are weird mother fuckers.

>>16043606
I'm getting a very neck beard forever alone vibe

>>16043629
I guess. most of us are, about half aren't.
pretty delta (not-a-fuck-given) here.
I've got 16 ish players to manage, and an indev game to test here. thank god a few finally decided to throw the towel.
I'm a GM-progenitor, by god if I want people to dance they will fucking dance.

There's nothing wrong with having fetishes.
There -is- something wrong with a fetish being a really big part of your identity, of who you are, and having you design your life around that fetish as a central goal.

I mean, shit. I don't introduce myself as "Anonymous the Whippy", talk about tying women up in ropes all day, and whine about chainsecution.

So I'm playing a Longtooth Shifter Avenger in a 4th edition game.

I'm not a furry, mind you, but it is an anthropomorphic character. Well sorta kinda not really. See instead of being the bog standard Longtooth Shifter of being a wolfman, I decided he would be a Snakeman because the DM liked the idea of Longtooth/Razorclaw shifters being just general categories that involve several different types of shifters, anyway. He was a snake. Anyway, it doesn't much matter because until you shift you look human only with mild features of that animal. So a wolf shifter, for example would have sideburns or a bitchin' beard or something and might have big canines or something I don't know.

Man. I suck at this.

>>16043647
I dunno not really my cup of tea
when I hear shit ;like >>16043606
I think of a bunch of super virgins (y'know living d and d stereotypes)

>>16043673
more like a bunch of college aged dudes in a town with a population (not including the college students) around 175-200. Most are bored out of their skulls, and just don't give a fuck.
most of my other groups treat it like they're playing WoW, so the weird ones can be a breath of fresh air compared to
>can I kill it?
uh, I guess?
>I kill it. XP kthx.

You wouldn't happen to be the same as KoboldDragonfag, would you?

>>16043694
whatever works man you don't have to justify your group to me I'm pretty lame too.

>>16043714
not a justification, merely providing more information.
how's your group then, if you are 'lame'?
just curious.

>>16043700
Alas, I am not. Just some koboldfag who likes kobolds.

>>16043701

The character was Nipha, his name meant snow. He was of a tribe of lutra lutra (not lutraI, which are ... different). A tribe of barbarians, they hunted with spear and blade, and the young earned their first kills, and were marked with runes by their shaman, to show they were now adults.

The character was recruited to a group of adventurers, when he stumbled across them fighting a group of black-marsh lizard-men. The picture here, where I commissioned an artist to draw, was Mr. Otter leaping into the scene, his flint knife in hand, to attack the racial enemies from behind.

Was a good fight! Game didn't last long, but I had fun. That's what a game is meant for.

>>16043729
not too bad
we have one "that guy"
the rest are fairly normal functioning people. no real neckbeards or basement dwellers.
other than the game that devolved into S and M and rape it's a good group

>>16043777
Nada. I cannot draw. I just write.

>>16043752
sounds not to different really.
Our 'that guy' essentially quit, so we've just been tying up loose ends and finishing the process for my 8 year production cycle on this thing.
Brought the project to college, and suddenly I've nerdlings and fellow gamer-minded people hunting me down to run a session.
here's to hoping we can get it into a PDF sometime soon.
and I find someone else to GM.

>>16043789
Dammnit.

>>16043790
ok this is going to sound really gay, but I though the tail was the leg and the right leg was a huge lizard penis for half a second

Your entire gaming group's characters have turned into furries.

Pokemon furries.

What. Do. You. Do.

I don't know what it is about anthropomorphic animals, but often, they just look hella cool.

>>16043825
And sometimes, people just want to play something that looks hella cool. Ain't nuthin' wrong with that.

>>16043824
hope I'm Charzard?

>>16040900
I hate things like that. They force me to accept that my actions in the game are horribly counter to reasonable morality.

Also i just want to say: Bravo /tg/. This is the most amazing thread that I have ever seen on 4chan, simply because of the subject matter being discussed, and the way it has been.

>>16043729
Not that guy, but my group is lame because it doesn't fucking exist.

>>16043847

Now you have to tailor all of your shirts and you can't fit through doors without special effort. You must also roll to not set things on fire with your ass. Some of those things are doors.

>>16044059
I forget the exact numbers but I pulled a good few hundred pics from that pit. This is out of about 30000 "safe" pics, though. I had too much time on my hands this summer.

Also, you might want to tone down your posts, sir.

So... is that a furry fox Youmu in the OP pic?

On the subject of furries in RPGs, I have to mention Mutant, or, rather the reboot, Mutant: Undergångens arvtagere ("Mutant: Heirs of the End").

It's a Swedish system and setting, and takes place in southern scandinavia (other places availible at additional cost, naturally) after an unknown catastrophe (it is implied to have been nuclear war and/or Mars exploding and raining fiery death on the entire planet) essentially killed civilization. The parts of mankind that didn't escape into space survived largely intact in high-tech bunkers.

When they came out, they found the world populated entirely by strange creatures, including primitive but sentient mutants, both of the four-legged/photosynthetic/psychic human variety, and anthropomorphic versions of animals native to the area (who may or may not be four-legged and photosynthetic).

Somewhere along the way, the humans forgot how to produce the wondrous technology that they used to have, and the ancient bunkers are all abandoned and thoroughly looted, or deep within the radiation-and-abomination-filled Forbidden Zones. Retrieving things from the depths of these Zones is a risky but high-paying business, and a natural source of adventure for players.

In the principal setting, humans have built an empire largely thanks to the re-invention of reliable gunpowder. Technology has advanced to be roughly industrial age, boasting large factories crewed mostly by mutants and other second-class citizens. If you're not working yourself to death on the factory floor, odds are you're out in the wilderness, fighting radioactivity and horrible mutated beasts for your meager livelihood.

Artifacts of the old days are highly prized; functioning energy weapons are the holy grail of adventurers everywhere, but anything that is still operational is worth a small fortune. Even little trinkets like trading cards and canned food have worth to collectors and decadent aristocrats.

I ran a game of Shard once. With a player that was -very- 'FUCK THIS FURFAG SHIT'.

By the end of the game, he was begging me to draw his badass tiger airship captain.

Feels good man.

As an aside, not all furries even have a kink for that kind of stuff. I just think animal people look cool. Fuck that yiff shit. :|

>>16046658

The cities, villages and roads of the empire tend to be safe, but anything beyond that tends to be full of radiation, ravenous mutant wildlife, hostile mutant tribes, mostly functional (and incredibly hostile) war bots and other hazards. Due to the hostile environment, primitive technology and isolationist-elitist tendencies, anything beyond the borders of the empire is viewed with extreme suspicion. Being accused of spying is tantamount to a death sentence, particularly since the justice system is draconic, corrupted and deeply biased towards the rich and human. Anything that could even begin to threaten the security of the nation (or the sovereignty of the emperor) is dealt with harshly and without regard for evidence.

TL;DR: It's a grimdark, industrial-age post-apocalyptic scavanger world version of Scandinavia full of fire-breathing furries.

It's pretty neat.
