When I stumble upon new furry posts

Just another new to the fandom post with some questions!

Furry Reddit - Wed 18 Mar 2015 - 23:36

Hi! The title explains everything, just some questions. I hope you guys aren't sick of these posts :3

Questions:

  • What represents a good furry? What are the yes/no's of being one?

  • How would you describe the average furry? What is the most common age group, personality, and gender?

  • How/when were you introduced to the fandom?

  • What are some stereotypes I need to be aware of? I know most, if not all furries are not furverts and this is actually a strong community.

Snarky in Pink: The Grumpy Unicorn

FurStarter - Wed 18 Mar 2015 - 22:54

grumpyunicornbar

A whimsical children’s story of a unicorn trying to find its place in a mythical world…

grumpyunicorn4The Grumpy Unicorn

Kickstarter ending 4/10/15

Just a short callout for an adorable project, with children’s books it’s easy to write a post that’s longer than the book itself. So keeping it brief.

grumpyunicorn3The Grumpy Unicorn is a story of a young unicorn in a school for with a bunch of other mythologicals–monsters much more fearsome and cool than himself. In a world filled with fangy dragons and horrible minotaurs and a griffon with stupendously huge claws–okay, the gorgon is pretty cute and chibi, but by and large, the unicorn is a bright mote of sparkly and fluff in a terrible, gloomy place–even the art in his home is a dreary and oppressive, and magical unicorns stand out like cupcake sprinkles on a badly-cooked piece of trout.

grumpyunicorn1Much of the book is the unicorn thinking about all the things that would be preferable to being a unicorn–a scary griffon, a dragon, and so on. No surprise, but at some point the unicorn realizes it’s pretty nice being a unicorn.

I don’t know that furries would come out with the same lesson–I think we’d generally say “Yes! It’d be pretty cool to be a unicorn!” Though that’s probably what most five-year-olds would think, we furries are usually on the same wavelength as preschoolers when it comes to cute things.

grumpyunicorn2The art in this one is lots of fun–the unicorn is appealingly pissed, his dark and angry eyes and sour expression a great foil to his rainbows and particle effects. The rest of the world? It’s actually not quite as convincing, though there are some cute critters here and there (Cerberus tormenting a tennis ball…) We don’t have a lot to go on, just a few pages of art, but there is a sort of sameness to artist Jen Hodge’s unicorn that makes the unicorn stand out in the crowd. The rest is kind of like what would happen if Michel Gagne’s weird shadow creatures discovered color and 3D rendering.

I’d love to find out more about Hodge and her work, but my google fu is failing me!

Like I said, just a short little snapshot of a fun children’s project!

Never Trust a Raccoon with a Wand: Wizards of the Wild

FurStarter - Wed 18 Mar 2015 - 21:40

WOTWBar

WOTWlogoA game of enchantments and intrigues in the shadow of Stonehenge…

Wizards of the Wild

Kickstarter ending 4/9/15

WOTW3Imagine if you will…

The evening of the longest night. Each star is perfectly clear in the chill air, and the moon climbs inexorably toward its zenith in the sky. As the shadows of Stonehenge’s ancient monoliths shorten, the power in the air is palpable, magic surging through the ground, along the stones.

And a fox in a top hat is about to throw a swarm of fairy mice at you. Think fast.

WOTW5Wizards of the Wild is a new fist-of-dice/resource juggling game from Crosscut Games, In WOTW players take on role of one of eight wizardly beasts–a crazed raccoon shaman, vicious badger magician, suave cat, cunning fox, robed bear, each a powerful mage with a pawful of spells and strange resources at their command. Over the course of the game your tools wax and wane–this round, you’ll be rich in mana but poor in financial resources, next round you’ll have all the arcane lore but none of the power to back it up. Such is life, as a wizard.

WOTW2WOTW has elements of a resource-management game, but with a lot more randomness than your typical round of Settlers. Looking at the rules–available in PDF–there’s a bunch of randomizers here, so many that I’m not sure how strong a strategy you can build. There are seven rounds in a full game, and during each round you strive to get victory points that add up to your final victory. The tone of each round is governed by an acolyte card who can be bribed for victory points and throws various penalties around, and when you’re out of acolytes, the game, as they say, is up.

Each round you get a fistful of dice (and as many rerolls, so you can pick and choose) to represent your shifting fortunes–different types of magical energy, financial clout, arcane lore. Draw new cards from the spells and challenges decks, throw spells and effects around, or put your resources into storage for a rainy day. When all the players have finished their turns, see what penalties the round’s ally dishes out, then start the next turn. The game wraps up in a flurry of spell-casting, victory points are tallied, winners are applauded.

WOTW1Without having played the game, there is a lot of random to it–much of the fun seems to be seeing what crazy combinations of cards can be spun out, which is a part of that kind of game. Your resources are randomly determined each round, the cards are their own randomizer, and the acolyte, too. WOTW looks like it doesn’t have a lot of agency, more of a game of reaching into the churn and seeing what happens next, with enough round-to-round planning to make the game, well, a game.

The artwork is really charismatic, a well-realized world of anthro critters and magical happenings. Fun stuff!

I’m not madly in love with the reward levels, they tend toward multipacks and luxurious deluxe materials. You can get your pet added the game as a card for the reasonable price of $200, but you can get the full game for about $25 without spending a bank-breaking amount on the super-complete set. Which is definitely not a bad thing! A game that’s totally in the “shopping cart” price is something to applaud, but on the other hand, there’s no material that’s only available to Kickstarter backers. Again, not a bad thing, but a noteworthy thing.

WOTW4The Kickstarter page could benefit from a play-through video, but if there’s a lot of resource buildup from round to round (like the deceptively complex card game, “Three Dragon Ante,” which really makes sense only across several rounds), that may not give a clear image of the game.

Take a tour through the Kickstarter page and watch the video, which is filled with sample artwork (plus, it’s short!) Imagine the game play. It is very much like a psychologist’s inkblot, if you’re looking for a game of skill, you will see a game of skill. If you’re looking for a fast-moving game of stir-fried random, you’ll see that. But if you’re looking for dapper badgers, you’ll definitely find what you’re looking for.

Anyone else think that fursuit makers should have their own show?

Furry Reddit - Wed 18 Mar 2015 - 21:30

I keep seeing shows like treehouse masters and other creative shows like that and I though that fursuit makers would make an awesome show. Also might clear up some misconceptions about the fandom.

Anyone else have that one thing you can't stand about the furry community?

Furry Reddit - Wed 18 Mar 2015 - 20:45

Now this is a post for you to vent or rant ,but lets at lest try to remain civil.

I have some friends on FA that have been super nice and generaly sweet people ,but the last couple of weeks they've gotten the super edgy evil fur thing going. Not like a 13 year old puberty thing ether. They just have gone from a Python that likes hugs to evil serpent of rape and hardvore. No shit that's what one of them changed to in a week. I feel like I don't even know them and the stuff their posting is not only fucked up but you can't say "bruh that's just not right, your scaring me man" because for some reason you can't say someone's fetishs are gross in the furry community. That's bullshit.

That's the thing I dislike about this fandom. We should not have to be all accepting and abale to say "dude that's fucked"

Question for SFW artists!

Furry Reddit - Wed 18 Mar 2015 - 20:37

I've been thinking lately and wondering something. Some furs (including me) have NSFW ref sheets but that's not all I want. I do like SFW stuff. But I kinda feel awkward and embarrassed giving a SFW artist my ref sheet. I mean, I'm sure they know that stuff exists, but it feels... odd to send it to them.

My question for you is this: what do you think if you get a NSFW ref sheet? Does it bother you at all or am I just being slightly paranoid?

What's some weird stuff you or your friends/SO are into?

Furry Reddit - Wed 18 Mar 2015 - 20:28

I'm just curious about those strange things that make you happy, or other things! That, and I like getting to know people sometimes.

EDIT: I feel strange not having my own stuff in here! The two safest things I'll admit right now is being into cross dressing and occasionally blood. Why? NO FREGGIN' CLUE!
