Furfunding Week in Review: 8-31-14

FurStarter - Sun 31 Aug 2014 - 15:39

This week’s illustration is from the animation project, Gym Rat Squad.

I have been up to my elbows in smutty projects lately. On and off I’ve been bookmarking and skimming adult projects on Kickstarter and Indiegogo, to see how those projects fly, and what the general range of acceptability is.

Weirdly, Indiegogo allows porn but not nudity–kind of–and Kickstarter allows nudity but not porn.

To clarify, Indiegogo will let you fund almost anything, as long as the content on their home page isn’t objectionable or illegal, but they want to keep their site family friendly. Outright pornography may actually be beyond the Indiegogo pale, I haven’t seen that tested yet (of course, that could be because the pages got pulled down, it’s hard to say.) At the end of the day, though, they don’t want nudity on their page, which seems to be their biggest sticking point.

Kickstarter has rules against pornography, even as a reward/project, so you can’t post a project with pornographic content and just not display imagery. However, they have no problem at all with artistic nudity, even on their project pages. I have seen evidence that male nudity is much less artistic than female nudity, but it’s not something I have the ability to prove.

Anyway, that’s where my head’s been. The world needs to know.

Reviews this week: Cartoon cuteness with Lizardbeth on Patreon, and wacky porn tabletop RPG adventures with FAPP.

I’ve talked about a few of the projects I’m backing this week, beginning with ongoing funding for Lizardbeth on Patreon, then FAPP, because it was too absurd not to back. So far as non-furry projects go I backed “Summoner’s Circle,” which is sort of like Chinese Checkers meets the Kabbalah meets 16th century demonology. I had no way to avoid backing this project.

a quick and slightly off-topic question...

Furry Reddit - Sun 31 Aug 2014 - 13:03

i know comparing furries to bronies is kind of frowned upon here, but bear with me for a hot second. there's a subreddit called /r/MLPdrawingschool, where people post sketches and attempts at drawing mlp-related things, and the community gives feedback on how they can improve. is there anything similar for furry art in general? i'm honestly not much of an artist myself, but i'd like to be able to pick up enough tips to be able to do some sketching when i want to.

YOU SHALL NOT PASS without a sex scene: FAPP

FurStarter - Sun 31 Aug 2014 - 09:48

A fantasy tabletop role-playing game in a world gone…porny.

Warning: Images in this post are not safe for work or for people who are under 18.

 

That being said, I would have been ALL OVER THIS when I was under 18.

8-31-14FappLogo

FAPP

Offbeatr campaign ending 9/14/14

 

I have been playing tabletop role-playing games for a long, long time, since fifth grade in fact, which is getting close to 30 years of funny dice with lots of sides. And I do remember playing when I was an awkward 14-year-old, just hit in the face with the frying pan that is puberty–loaded with hormones, playing D&D with a couple other teens ALSO loaded with hormones, none of us really having any great sense for plot or character development, it’s no wonder that most of our sessions had at least one or two very contrived and abrupt sex scenes.

Of course, I’ve outgrown that. Now the sex scenes are a lot more complicated.

Anyway, I never thought I’d say this, but somehow, this project–this weird, weird, project–is making me want to be 14 again. It’s silly and crazed and perverse. Yes, I’m buying a copy.

FAPP–the abbreviation stands for nothing in particular, a riff on the tabletop RPG industry’s love of silly nonsense abbreviations like GURPS, TORG, FUDGE, etc etc–is a tongue-in-cheek, massively over-the-top furry pornographic tabletop RPG (TRPG moving forward). It’s being committed principally by Lemuel, whose FA account is probably the best place to go for daily updates and information about the project, and Min, who goes into detail on some of the monsters and stats.

Bukkake is a stat, and that is beautiful. I have never seen Bukkake in a stat block before.

I know you’re not looking at my sword.

Is it a “serious” game? Hard to say, and I’m honestly not sure it matters. The indie TPRG hobbistry (it’s like an industry but you can’t make money off it) is full of games that tell interesting stories, but the majority of the copies sold will never see a gaming table. Take “Engine Heart,” a TRPG based on “Wall-E” and “Brave Little Toaster.” Never going to play it, love thinking about playing it, never going to sell it to Half Price Books. Game books can be their own form of literature, with all the world building and character building–if not more!–of fiction.

I’d like to apologize for our fighter’s rude entrance, but I have a topical ointment that’ll help.

Characters in FAPP are adventurers in the world of Jizzrel (let’s get our sniggering over with, people, this is a serious review). The Powers That Be have cursed (?) the inhabitants of that benighted, sticky land with crazy powerful sex drives and body parts to match (how that wolf doesn’t pass out from blood loss when he has an erection, I don’t know, possibly he always has one.) At the same time, they’ve warped the world so that swordplay and spellcasting just don’t work. This leaves one obvious, throbbing solution for how to subdue your enemies.

Someday, I will find an office chair that’s comfortable.

From a certain angle, that’s actually a lot nicer than the huge number of critters my 4th level paladin has killed. But you could totally run out of gold pieces buying everyone dinner afterward.

There’s actually plot in there, too. Dark gods inspired by HP Lovecraft have unleashed horrible, sanity-destroying monsters, the sort of epic awfulness that brave adventures strap on their armor and gird their loins–or ungird them, this is that sort of game–to fight. There’s an introductory adventure wherein the party defends their village against an invading army of gnolls, with a supplementary chapter on playing gnolls (I sense a level of wish fulfillment here because the project manager Lemuel is a gnoll, but I’m not complaining, since my mate and I both play gnolls every Friday.)

FAPP is also a kink-friendly RPG, with latex, macros, and whatever else might conceivably float someone’s pleasure barge. It sounds like, while the basic idea is “let’s use sex to defeat the monstrous boobdragon!”, the idea of what sex is is flexible and accommodating.

There are not enough beers in the tavern.

There are not enough beers in the tavern.

So far as the project itself goes, I’m a little concerned that the amount of member-customized material involved might overwhelm the creators. A recent update to the page said that the main rulebook would need to be split into two volumes, which is great for the backer, but with the cost of goods involved increasing, a small print run, and a discounted price on top of Offbeatr’s hefty 30% fees, makes for a terribly small profit margin. Strictly from a print/publishing perspective, their business model is unclear, and I’d like to see some breakdowns of their goal, cost, etc. It looks like the project launched at the lowest possible goal to get around the voting period and deposit fees–and I can sympathize, those are irritating!–but I don’t have a clear idea of the funding they need to produce the project. It’s not a huge concern–the TRPG hobbistry has some excellent print on demand and digital options that lift the PP&B burden off the indie publisher–but a clear business plan is a definite +1 in a crowdfunding project. [EDIT: Lemuel contacted me to let me know that the books are digital, so that concern over PP&B is not an issue!]

Note: Images used above are included to promote the work of crowdfunding artists, and are owned by the original creator.

P.S.: yes, this entire thing is silly. Absolutely. But what does it say about our culture that sexing monsters into submission come across less mature than the “murder hobo” lifestyle of a typical D&D party? This is leaving me with some strange questions…

Author: Dear Papabear, Thank you for reading this letter. The last time I sent you a letter you helped me a lot in picking my fursona according to my personality, and I must say that I feel accomplished now. However, the dilemma I now face has nothing to deal with fursonas or the Furry Fandom […]

Mom and Dad are Rats

In-Fur-Nation - Sun 31 Aug 2014 - 01:36

Canadian artist and writer Eric Orchard makes quite a big splash with his first graphic novel, Maddy Kettle: The Adventures of the Thimblewitch. This is from Previews: “Maddy is an eleven year old girl with a pet toad named Ralph. And they’re on a rather big adventure right now, as her parents are currently kangaroo rats – having been put under a spell. On their way to find the Thimblewitch to sort everything out, they battle Spider Goblins and befriend two endearing Cloud Mappers, Harry the bear and Silvio the raccoon, who help them get where they’re going. We won’t tell you what happens next, but we can assure you that it’s a beautiful and magical ride.” Top Shelf Productions will release this full-color all-ages fantasy in trade paperback this October.
