I suppose a better RPG name title would mean far less sales. See geeks.
Sounds no worse than any other D&D offshoot/setting.
The person running this website is a racist who publicly advocates genocidal practices.
I am deleting my content.
I recommend you do the same.
Better than a furry LARP adaptation of Dog Day Afternoon.
You don't like pussy?
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.

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.
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.

Of course he was. I'm waiting for his comments about "real roleplayers" and how this is just a war game not a "real RPG."
This is no sillier than Tieflings and Dragonborn for D&D. In fact I find it less silly.
But then I am a Mark Rogers fan.

I'm happily ignorant of what exactly those are.
Fiend blooded and draconic humanoids.

See Nastassja Kinski.

So... It isn't just the name of the book, but the actual name of the race itself? I'm alright with cat people in rpgs, but naming them after an internet reference... That seems odd. Might as well make an organization sourcebook called "The Redditors."

Means absolutely nothing to me...thankfully. :)
Folk with lower planar ancestry and folk that are dragonish?

IN more recent editions, horn 'n tail people without scales and horn 'n tail people with scales? :D
I only know them because one showed up as a miniature in a Kickstarter I backed.

The phrase that pays is "more recent editions." I haven't played AD&D since around 1992, discounting a one-off here and there, and those games were with the original edition...I'm not really into D&D. I've probably seen drawings of these creatures from the 2000s but if they are what I think they are, I found them to be up that whole "edgy dark elf" alley.

So I take it you lack even the most basic knowledge of Japanese mythological creatures then????? Seems to me the Koreans have some story's as well.
Oh yeah good point about the Fox stories. Seems to me that Golden Sky Stories is a better way to play Henge that this though.
A Cat People rpg would be interesting, set in the 40s or 80s to reflect the original and the remake.

I have to disagree. My oldest character that I still play from time to time is a 1e Hengeyokai, and yes I know that not all Youkai are Henge. I backed GSS.
It looks a little giimmicky to me and I don't think I really need something like that to bring Youkai into 5e since I already have. And by Youkai I mean the whole spectrum, not just the furry animals, including spirits that have become Youkai, humans that have become Youkai and even animated objects that have become Youkai. Though I kind of loosely base my mythology on Koshinto which is kind of a reconstruction of Shinto without influences of outside religions that focuses on the nature of Kami, which are kind of related to Youkai. Sort of. It's complicated. :D
If I saw it in print at Sentry Box I'd probably pick it up.
In my DCC game there are animals that talk and animals that don't. Some of the animals that talk also have societies, like the narco-trafficking sloths, while others don't and just live in the woods.
There doesn't appear to be any reasoning behind it, though of course there is.
