This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Caturday? Really?

I suppose a better RPG name title would mean far less sales. See geeks.

Sounds no worse than any other D&D offshoot/setting.

I recommend you do the same.

Better than a furry LARP adaptation of Dog Day Afternoon.

Battling hobgoblins seems like a failure of imagination to me.

I guess some of us just weren't all that excited about Pugmire?

I am surprised we don't see more anthropomorphic fantasy stuff.

And really, no different than being an elf, dwarf, whatever.

I would totally watch that...with a lot of weed.

Well there's no real mythological stories of cat people are there? Seems to lack the resonance to me, but in terms of overall silliness no there's not much daylight between them.

James V. West made an OSR talking animals hack.

Dog Day Afternoon with dogs in all the parts is an inspired idea I think. Someone make it happen.

Aslan in Traveller. Nuff Said.

You know, if you Googled "mythological stories of cat people", you would find out that there are plenty of them.

But, this goes back to you not knowing how to do basic grade school level research.
"Meh."

One of the earliest RPGs was Bunnies and Burrows; it came out in 1978, the same year as AD&D.

I always had the impression B&B was less furry/anthro and more "Watership Down: the Unlicensed RPG".

And there are several games out there with humanoid animals that don't entirely suck (e.g. Mutant: Genlab Alpha, Gamma World, TMNT, Atomic Highway's Irradiated Freaks... what is it with PA settings and humanoid animals?)  Aliens Unlimited for Heroes Unlimited should pretty well kill any and all interest in such an enterprise ever though; it went the Star Trek route of "this alien looks -slightly- different from -that- alien, so we'll make them entirely different species with no relation" only with humanoid animals.  The end result of which should make any normal person think "wow, this is dumb".

Quite right. My only point was that RPGs centred around characters who aren't humans or very similar to humans goes back a very long way.

I don't anyone suggested otherwise. Anthros/furry vs. general talking animals, elves, dwarves, klingons, my-little-ponies, what does it matter?

We got a whole bunch of subtext going on here, but I think it boils down to the impression that the OP was rolling their eyes at this product in particular and saying, 'would you look at this' in a mocking tone and everyone else looking them in the eye and saying, 'yes, and?'

Speaking of funny animals and Aliens Unlimited, just with the core book we got an aquatic ape cyborg.
