Are there furry #ttrpgs?
  • @furry
    I should specify that the reason I am asking here is that I feel a drive to make a homebrew rpg, but if there's a pre-existing rpg that fills the niche of "game with rules that make your fursona more than just flavor" I would rather just promote that instead of pouring my heart and soul into a knockoff. I'd rather have my work described as "the bastard child of 20 bad wattpad fanfics" instead of "We Have Albedo: the RPG at Home".

    Didn't have space to clarify this, but I did some cursory research. Most things I came across were aimed at one specific species, whereas I would like more customizability. Technically, GURPS falls under the criteria of what I am looking for, since you can make literally any character that you can think of, which would by definition include all anthros.

    Are there furry #ttrpgs?

    @furry

    Got on a train of thought while debating What To Do With Orcs (I don't see how to fit them within my #dnd setting) when I realized that I could just have #Anthro #Hamsters fill their role. (I mean, they may be small, but I know my hampner would bite my finger off if I let him. Imagine one the size of a person) Which made me think, "Why not go all in on the furry?"

    My question is, has a #furry #ttrpg been done? Like, one where you can #roleplay as your #fursona?

    You probably would not be surprised how many people buy every single book that comes out. I happen to be one of them. Only stopped recently, and after the OGL scandal last year I don't think I will ever do that again.

    Back when I played in AL, the appeal was less about the content and more about the ability to show up somewhere with a Char sheet and know there will be a table to play at.

  • Are they just typecasting him???
  • @Godric
    So unfair that they keep typecasting black actors into playing black characters.

  • Are there FOSS alternatives to Roll20?
  • @mox
    Thank you. This was very thorough, and very helpful.

    I did a little googling and spotted Foundry Virtual Tabletop, but I haven't been able to explore many alternatives yet. Which ones are good?

    #DnD DMs of the #Fediverse: Have you ever made a PC race illegal?
  • @Toes
    Not what I'm asking. I'm asking for lore ideas, like why would the King have outlawed Orcs and put a Bounty on their heads.

    But is is common for flying characters to be banned. Not sure why. Everybody can get a bow or crossbow, and there's no cover up there.

  • #DnD DMs of the #Fediverse: Have you ever made a PC race illegal?
  • @LibertyLizard
    I'm talking about in-world legality. #MCDM has lore about how dragonborn are created being that were crafted during the reign of Good King Omin, so they are a symbol of that better age. As such, the despotic Lord Ajax has placed a bounty for dragonborn heads.

    I don't really have anything comparable in my world, though? There is a bad guy evilling in a holding pattern over the western horizon, but I have other lore about his machinations.

  • #DnD DMs of the #Fediverse: Have you ever made a PC race illegal?
  • @cjoll4
    As in being an orc is against the law of the kingdom their character are in. #MCDM has dragonborn as being created by Good King Omin, who was deposed by the evil Lord Ajax. Ajax then placed a large Bounty on the head of every dragonborn.

    @dnd

    I am feeling inspired by #mcdm\_productions worldbuilding where all Dragonborn have a bounty on their heads, which was set by the current king. I would like to do something similar in mine with Orcs, but I'm not sure how to handle that lore-wise.

    Are you sure about that?

  • I took a time-lapse of my little [#gorditos](https://kbin.asdfzdfj.xyz/tag/gorditos) getting treats
  • @LemmyKnowsBest not sure what you are picking up on, but I think our #mastodon server runs well partly because our admin works for Google and can bring his expertise over here. I have mixed feelings about that. He is very obviously a fan of the big tech companies and seemed a bit miffed that we all got so upset about #Threads trying to #federate

  • @Viking_Hippie they also have never felt full once in their life. It's not something their brain is wired to experience. They remind me of this constantly, as seen in my banner pic https://cdn.masto.host/dicecamp/media_attachments/files/112/026/721/807/170/516/original/8136498ea948dba2.jpg

    However, their normal diet is pellets and hay. They get very excited when they get to have veggies

  • This is what its like working in childcare. Kids do stuff like this all the time.
  • @pteryx @196 fun fact about child development: Kids don't develop proper Theory of Mind until they are about 7 years old. Before the age of 7 every child is a little sociopath that is barely capable of comprehending that other people also have feelings.

    Its not impossible for them to develop empathy, though it's hard. You can get those Empathy neurons firing by forcing the kid to think about other people's feelings at least once a day. So, any kid with good Empathy just has good parents.

    Essentially, their tiny bug brains think the light is the sunset, so they keep turning to keep the "sun" at the same angle so they can go "straight." No matter how far they fly, they don't make any progress. They are trapped in this little hell we made just for them, not understanding why they can't get to where they are going.

    What makes elves fun to play?

    What makes elves fun to play?

    @dnd

    Something I've been puzzling over with my #homebrewdnd stuff is about the classic #dnd elf. I don't really know what makes the Elves a compelling race to play. I'm thinking of changing them quite significantly for my campaign, but how far can I change them until they no longer hit the same buttons?

    What dnd races are required?

    What dnd races are required?

    @dnd

    I'm making a new #homebrew #dnd setting. The mistake I felt I made last time was trying to devise an orgin from whole cloth for each playable race, which wasted a TON of time and energy while also confusing my players. So, herein I wish to ask: What playable races would you miss, if you joined my table and noticed their absence?

    Humans, dwarves, halflings, orcs, goblinoids, and elves will all stay, but I am not sure about all the others.

    Is ProtonVPN worth it?

    Is ProtonVPN worth it?

    @piracy

    Got reminded of this while reading about ProtonMail. The reason I haven't gotten into proper #piracy is that I don't have a VPN for torrenting, and the reason I don't have a VPN is that I don't #torrent. So it would be nice if I got a good VPN while #degoogling myself.

    Will ProtonVPN rat me out to Comcast? I know some VPNs don't hide what you're downloading from your ISP, for reasons I don't fully understand.

    The Riddle of Steel

    The Riddle of Steel

    @dnd

    I have an idea for a get-rich-quick scheme: using the Bessemer process to create massive amounts of high-quality steel. However, I'm sure my #DM has not given a single thought to this (because I know her) so I'm worried that this might give God fun #worldbuilding ideas to fuck with our party. How do I tell my group my plan, without having the industrialized slave company I know is on the other side of the map spontaneously develop a similar process?
