Feed aggregator

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.

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.

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.

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 […]

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.

Hey all, I just bought MW2 while it was on sale for 10 bucks. If you haven't seen this deal, it's right here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/10180/

Anyway, anyone want to play with me? I'm on PC obviously, add me on steam: http://steamcommunity.com/id/CutoutF0x/

EDIT: I should have mentioned that I may not be able to play for a while, because my graphics card is on the fritz. I may have to get a replacement, should be working within a month.

My first game is actually how I got into fur fandom. Kitsune: of Foxes and Fools. I kickstarted it last year, and now I have the print run in hand and I'm selling it. The nine-tailed edition with more awesome art and higher production values is almost ready too. It's a game about fox spirits earning their nine tails through trickery and deceit.

Now I'm trying to kickstart a second game: Bad Decisions. This is a party game based on replacing parts of a sentence with fool, crisis, and bad decision cards. Some of the people I've played with here at IndyFurCon have described it as "Cards Against Humanity combined with Mad Libs." The first set is themed around headline news - the cards are drawn from news stories, and designed to create hilarious news-like combinations. The copy I'm playing with here at the con is an incomplete prototype though - kickstarter backers will get to help design the 330 more cards we need to write to finish the set. Backers will also get to vote on the subject of the first expansion set (Furry expansion anyone? I'd love to see it!).

This is the work of me, my brother, and my mom. It's just a personal work of passion, trying to achieve my dreams. I've greatly enjoyed getting to know the furry community over the past year, especially since most furs I've met have been both excited about my games and supportive of my creative efforts in general. One of the best things about furries, I've found, is the positive, creative atmosphere of the community.

I hope some of y'all who read this will like what I've made, and decide to make Bad Decisions with me.
