German Fur Having Fursona Trouble

Furry News Network - Sat 1 Nov 2014 - 07:56
Author: Dear PapaBear, I am glad to have found your website where you help furries out and I myself am an ongoing Furry, with a similar problem someone had stated to you already. I’ve got a hard time to decide what my fursona should be and find myself scared to be disliked or hated by […]

Your Tabletop Moves On-Line

In-Fur-Nation - Sat 1 Nov 2014 - 01:56

Ultimum is another new electronic game system of more than passing furry fandom interest which is seeking development funds through a Kickstarter campaign. Created by Christian Muckler and his associates, Ultimum seeks to recreate the playing environment of a traditional tabletop fantasy role playing game — not only in a paper tabletop setting, but also as a virtual on-line “sandbox”. We should also note, of course, that the game includes several non-human playable races it its science fiction setting –  Including humanoid bears, wolves, lizards, and gorillas. The Ultimum Kickstarter page includes several development videos as well as an animatic “game trailer”.

My updated fursuit head, suggestions are welcome.

This is for my white tailed deer doe, I used a canine base for the head and bulked it up, if you noticed I completely scrapped my bucket style head. As for the muzzle since it is a deer I'm planning on smoothing it down more so its not so canine looking and I need to make the jaw much more defined.

OK, it’s not “real” furries, but I want to see the sequel where they come back hard and kick the zombies’ skeletal butts.  (What happened to their machine gun?) It's #Furries vs #Zombies in the classic @Skeletonwitch music video for the #BringersofDeath which side are you on? http://t.co/GX0vqHr3ts — Prosthetic Records (@ProstheticRcds) October 31, 2014 […]

Furpocalypse. Ok, I'm here... And I'm kiiiinda freaking out.

Furry Reddit - Fri 31 Oct 2014 - 17:06

Ok first of all, I am so, so, so glad my wife is with me because I think I'd be in my room not knowing what to do with myself right now.

Well... Actually I AM in my room not knowing what to do with myself right now, but she's coming up soon and is much calmer than me.

I am totally overwhelmed. Not knowing what to do, where to go, how this all works. Feeling awkward but at the same time excited. The fursuiters are so freakin adorable - even more in person than in pictures and video. It fills me with so many different feelings: wanting to interact with them, wanting a big fuzzy hug, wishing I had one of my own, but at the same time feeling shy and not wanting to presume they want to interact with me in that moment...

And then finishing our walk through the dealers room and not knowing what to do, where to go... Seeing people with their friends and wishing I had some furry friends with con experience to just follow around. I'm so overwhelmed I'm having trouble making simple decisions, talking, or understanding what my wife is saying to me.

And then I know I'm overreacting and need to chill out and just choose an activity on the schedule and go to it... Well, and I guess register first... And eat before that... And try not to miss stuff.

... And thank god my wife is here.
