Pom's Stray Thoughts- Time and a Place
Something has been nicking at my brain for the past 2 or so minutes, and that is a lot of people seem unnaturally comfortable sharing information that would otherwise be private, personal information. Specifically, mental disorders. It's somewhat of a strange trend nowadays, to find the ability to boast about how one's brain is chemically malfunctioning, or reacting poorly in relation to stress. So, it's cranked my hear to a state of no longer being stagnant in wondering "Why is this".
Why do people seem to be so eager to talk about private, personal issues to people with whom they are not very well acquainted?

D'aww, lynx and fox are best friends.
Mutants On The March!
This past spring, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles universe saw the return of one of the famous four’s most-popular and perhaps strangest friends: The Mutanimals, appearing in their own five-issue full-color mini-series by Paul Allor, Andy Kuhn, and Ben Bates. Well now IDW are about to release the series as a Mutanimals trade paperback collection. “Old Hob, Slash, Herman the Hermit Crab, Mondo Gecko, and Pigeon Pete have become a force to be reckoned with. When someone close to the group is kidnapped, the Mutanimals end up on an adventure more wild and dangerous than they could have imagined! What mysteries lurk at…The Null Group?” Look for it on the shelves August 19th, or you can pre-order it over at Things From Another World.

Fur by Location version 1
Hey guys! I know that the FA forums does this but they don't update it often. I believe that it is important to find people like you in your area! So I thought it would be cool to do something like this! Just comment your location and hopefully we can connect some furs! I will be updating this as needed :) thanks!

I caved and finally made a fursona, sorta.
What do you guys think of The Coyote Kisses?
Here's their SoundCloud, https://www.soundcloud.com/coyotekisses (can't hyperlink on mobile). I thought their name would be pretty fitting for all of you furs out there! :3

How did you create your Custom Flair?
Another question... If you want to change your custom flair to a base flair, can you easily change back or do you have to message Copper badger again?
Edit: BTW, it's really interesting to see all the different custom flairs I this post

Space Hyenas and Metal Mice: HC SVNT DRACONES returns
A return to exploration, politics, culture, survival, and furries in space…
HC SVNT DRACONES: Core Extension
Kickstarter ending 8/26/15
As I have said a number of times, I am a sucker for a good tabletop role-playing game. And the semi-unspellable HC SVNT DRACONES has every chance of becoming the darling of the v-e-r-y small furry TRPG “industry.” The artwork is, pun intended, stellar—loaded with full-color illustrations (much art by Vader-San, if you’re not at work check out his FA) and crisp modern artwork. The layout is clean and modern, reminiscent of the more stylish books from White Wolf Game Publishing (graphical margins, a heavy emphasis on two-page spreads that tell full stories, and layout that doesn’t feel cramped.)
It’s perhaps a little unfair to compare the two, because HSC has a hardcover print-on-demand pricetag of $50 or so, compared to Ironclaw’s…um…$55. Well, never mind. HSC looks forward into RPG history, with online appage in the works and a healthy style-to-substance balance, and its competitor honestly just isn’t that much to look at, with the look and feel of a mid-90s indie game (and, heck, some of the same artwork.) It’s really time for furry tabletop to catch up with the rest of the hobbistry, and HSC is that kind of leap forward.
Dracones? You could say I’m a fan.
Now on Kickstarter, and way over goal and tearing through its stretch goals, a huge expansion for the HSC universe.
I’m not sure I want to go into detail on HSC right this minute—if you like, you can read my previous article on HSC, “Here There Be Latinate Constructions,” which talks about the world(s) and some game mechanics. In superbrief, humanity created its anthro “children” as explorers, servants, and colonists, and then promptly ended its own existence as a race. If there ARE humans, they’re whiskered…or robotic. It’s a world with ‘taurs, androids, and the whole spectrum of anthropomorphics. And the newest book, the HSC Core Extension, expands the list, with new families–including…
wait for it
Okay, maybe that’s more a me thing. There are rodents and ursines, both sadly left out of the previous volume, presumably in the interest of space. Printed page space, not, you know, cosmos space.
It’s a chock-full-of-weird expansion to an already huge universe, with new races, robot rules, new body types, new dramatic situations and settings, and some new mechanics (I think the video mentioned some mental breakdown rules?) And there’s also a bunch of “FAQ” materials, now that the game’s been around for a few months of community playtesting. All good things. If you missed the first book, and have the pockets for it, there’s a “buy it all” option for $150 with both the previous hardbound, the current hardbound, and other fun print products.
It’s hard to say anything negative about this Kickstarter, and looking back at my earlier write-up, I didn’t have anything to “ding” that one on, either. The prices are a little bit high, but totally on level with any other high-end TRPG—and honestly, their PDF-on-Demand product is amazingly inexpensive ($3? Really? No seriously, is that a typo?) so the whole “price” thing really isn’t that much of an issue. The material is available for next-to-free. I do wish they’d left a few more of the $400 “your character here” level, which seems to have sold out pretty quick. But these things happen.
Okay, go! Back this one so I have some people to play with when I get my copies!

What a long, cute, road it’s been: Foxtail
After a crushing break-up, a young fox goes on a point-and-click journey into her past.
Foxtail
Kickstarter ending 8/30/15
A part of me did not want to review this one, because the world of 8-bit homage video games is a crowded one. But several of my furry crowdfunding friends have fallen in love with it, and there is most definitely something there to love—a beautiful journey into a forest that’s as mysterious and strange as anything Miyazaki ever put on film, and an antagonist that’s stylish and compelling. and 400-something supporters on Steam Greenlight can’t be wrong.
Foxtail is a point-and click journey, the story of Lea the fox on a journey home. Her life at the University of Natural Sciences fell apart after an ugly breakup with her boyfriend. Facing academic failure and expulsion, she goes on a therapy trip to a friendlier place, her grandmother’s tiny mountain village.
This reminds me more and more of some of my favorite anime movies–particularly Wolf Children and Spirited Away. Anyway…
The happy childhood return is spoiled by an NPC with a Quest. Grandmother is sick, and the local herbalist says that the only way to stave off the deadly disease is a potion made from the rare and titular mushroom, Foxtail.
What follows is a solid 12 hours of puzzles, character interaction, things to explore and uncover, and a fair bit of education—after all, Lea is a science student on a mission for an herbalist, so expect to learn a fair bit about medicinal herbs, geology, and anything that’s got levers and wheels to pull and turn.
The game is really quite pretty, with images that are artsy while still being retro. The game is being designed using Wintermute,a platform for developing point-and-clicks (and here I thought it was a world-controlling AI. My bad.)
The kickstarter’s been on an interesting journey. One of the reasons I was biased against it was that it started as an expensive project on Indiegogo, using Flexible Funding—the promise that if we get even $10 of our $65,000 goal, we’ll still make the product. So in some ways, their move from Indiegogo to Kickstarter shows exactly how much of an impact the Flexible Funding trust deficit can create—with Kickstarter’s all-or-nothing funding the project is at twice the pledges it had on IGG. A good test case.
The kickstarter itself is a simple one—not too many perks, and the upper-level ones are thematically appropriate: a bow-tie like the one sported by the herbalist, and a nice traveller’s notebook, the kind Lea takes on her journey. Nothing huge, and a bit classier than a tee shirt.
Unfortunately, Lea’s journey is a long and complicated one, and not just because she doesn’t know what order to click the boulders. The Indie game market is saturated, and similar products with a stronger fan base have struggled and passed into the long night. That being said, Foxtail’s $40K goal is achievable, and the enthusiasm of the Steam community might just help Lea get that mushroom for granny.
