Curufea Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Re: Anthropomorphic/Furry HERO Resources Excellent, I've a nation of feline furries in my current campaign. Here's a few images from that game- http://www.curufea.com/games/western/campaign/Wang.jpg http://www.curufea.com/games/western/5e/Cheetah%20folk.jpg http://www.curufea.com/games/western/5e/Cheetah%20folk%202.jpg http://www.curufea.com/games/western/5e/tiger%20folk.jpg Hmm, my main problem with using feline furries that others have drawn, is that they are too humanised - they tend to have two breasts.... Not always though, but rarely are feline portrayed as "mostly feline"/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Rose Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Re: Anthropomorphic/Furry HERO Resources This thread is a bit creepy. Nah, not really. Noone's even started discussing mating probabilities between different species of "furry". That is creepy. Personally, I like furries. By furries I mean anthropomorphic animals, preferably on the human side of the scale, but sometimes the more animalistic ones are cool too. And by like, I mean I think the design is interesting, and I find the stories told with them interesting. Frankly, if "you" are disturbed by creatures that don't look fully human having human traits and interacting with humans, "you" must have issues with Star Wars, Star Trek, Bab 5, Farscape, the Man/Kzin Wars books, etc etc etc. Note that by "you" I mean anyone.I like furries because they can possess a trait you want them to by virtue of their species, and you don't have to do too much explanation. Besides, most of the furries I see are vaguely anime-styled, and I like that look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curufea Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Re: Anthropomorphic/Furry HERO Resources I've always viewed them as "fantasy" myself. They require magic to exist - just like centaurs or dragons... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Anomaly Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Re: Anthropomorphic/Furry HERO Resources I've used furries a couple of times as campagin elements, but only in particular stories, not as on-going parts. In both cases it involved inadvertent dimension-hopping. Oddly enough, both instances were (with different characters) in Legion of Super-Heroes based campaigns. In the first case, the PC in question was called Hidden Dragon, because she was a martial artist who could also turn invisible. She wound up in a version of the Legion universe populated by fuzzy animals, and found that her counterpart, also called Hidden Dragon, was an actual dragon. In the second case, set in an earlier time period, the PC was named Gamma Girl. She didn't travel to the other universe, but due to a Rond Vidar / Brainiac 5 lab accident, got to meet her counterpart, Gamma Squirrel, from the fuzzy-animal universe. I have always played it "straight", treating furry characters just as serious as I do the "regular" characters. Believe me, when Hidden Dragon had to help defend the Earth from invasion by Pulsecat Stargrave and the Duck Circle (Pulsar Stargrave and the Dark Circle), the player wasn't laughing or taking it lightly!

Susano Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Re: Anthropomorphic/Furry HERO Resources Usagi Yojimbo is proof that you can have a (at times) dead serious "funny animals" universe and make it work.

Stan Sakai is the Artist when it comes to making black and white simple drawings that are still able to evoke such emotion and the fact that they are funny animals makes it all the more amazing.

When I come into some money, I night want to commission a couple of pieces, especially if rabbits are equal to the cats in the pieces. And yeah, cats are cool.

Great background material, utterly crappy game engine.[/quote'] Really? I have to admit, I was kinda disappointed myself. I mean, it's sword and spell-slinging furry pirates in a 'furrified' Earth's version of the Golden Age of Piracy. Just thought they coud have been a trifle more imaginative, is all. But kudos to the gentleman who posted the Extinctioners link. IT's getting better now that the artist/writer is getting away from 'blatant X-men imitation'. I was thinking of somehow having PCs from my campaign meet up with some of the Extinctioners characters, or at least having Scarlet and Artica show up. Make a nice change of pace for the alternate dimension they visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does cover details GURPS Swashbuckler's leaves out, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I does have one of my favourite quotes from the Grouch-Marx-est Mayor when Cerebus is fighting an assassin on the window ledge...
