Why do furries always insist on making this known? If somebody is into BDSM, I will find out if I break into their basement.
If somebody is a furry, this is the first (or in this case second) thing they tell you.
And I generally like playing monsters whenever given the opportunity (anthropomorphic or otherwise).

If you maybe didn't make your kink the front and center of your identity, there would be less mocking overall (in my opinion).

Sans that, I also like animation. Welcome.

I have to agree on this. Its like waving a flag to call out all the loons in the audience. Especially now with some rather violent hate groups and sociopaths out there.

I hate anime. The art style I mean, the look of it. Other than like 5 minutes of dragonballZ or airbender the only other anime i've actually analyzed was on vhs back in the 90's and was the wierdest most disjointed crap you could imagine and featured no shit alien worm tentacle sex with exploding orgasms that kill the subject and recalling now it is ultra creepy because all those girls sounded just like pikachu. same facial expressions to.

You havent watched enough anime. And more to the point... you have been watching anime... and just didnt know it.
Way back a fair chunk of US animation was actually done in Japan, China, and Korea even. G.I. Joe, Transformers and Dungeons & Dragons are 3 that stand out. France and a few other countries do as well. Ulysse 2020, Galaxy Rangers, Bionic 6 and so on all are additional shows outsourced one way or another. Pretty sure even Thundercats was.

The styles and stories vary so wildly that some of the stuff is not even recognizable. And the more violent stuff is only a portion of whats out there. The ultra-violent stuff a fraction of that. Its just that in the 90s the violent and extreme violent ones seemed all anyone was interested in importing to the US.  Some rare few I liked. Most didnt. Especially the over the top ones.

Honestly I find few of the newer anime to be up to the standards of the stuff from the pre-2000s in both writing and art quality more oft than not. And an increasing reliance on CG that detracts.

Its alot like US animation. Theres some styles I like. And some I really dont. The new "cal arts" style as they call it for example 90% of the time just isnt my thing.

Bemusingly we have gotten so far 2 D&D anime that most arent even aware are based on D&D. Record of Lodoss War being based on a groups BX roleplay logs that got popular and turned into a series of novels. Then theres the weird one, Overlord which was inspired by the writers 3e D&D group and draws heavily from.

Man I would hate to be at that game:

DM: 'And so the fucking awesome overlord wipes the floor with you fuckwits, and brings you back'
Player: 'Uh...I try to attack him?'
DM: 'The solution was to praise him for being awesome, he instant kills you again'

Overlord is isekai wank

Its more one of those "what if" sort of shows. In this case something like "What if fully leveled 3e characters were dropped into a BX setting?". Starts out fun, but starts going downhilll by season 2 and then really downhill in 3. I liked the original lightnovels better really. Even if they are alot more brutal.

And half the fun of D&D is being able to go back and massacre those low level monsters and bandits who used to give you so much trouble. heh-heh.

It really isn't. Its a dime a dozen reincarnation power fantasy shows that are flooding the market after the success of Sword Art Online (well thats the earliest big one I remember). It cuts away from the self-insert every once in a while, but the focus is very largely on self glorification.
This is heavily to do with the dead-end, suffocating work and school culture in Japan which leads so many of its men developing misanthropic tendencies, and their escapist fantasies gaining a very angry, domineering, and carnal (in the sense of self-satisfaction) angle.

These light novels are so multidudanous that they need rediculous titles to stand out (and be largely identical anyway) with stuff like 'I was hit by a truck and reincarnated as a talking lamp!?!?!'

....And how the heck is this discussion in a introductory thread?

Because this is theRPGsite and its what we do. heh-heh.

I think Jeffs suggestion of Teenagers from Outer Space probably is a good one too for possible RPGs with the right framework for what the OP wants.

I think I'm going to third the suggestion for TFOS. If you're looking for something silly and lighthearted you could do a lot worse.

You could get banned for almost anything on that site.

Personally I like old Disney movies. I wouldn't mind playing a game in the Pinocchio world, set in an old Italian-style fairytale town, with Honest John Foulfellow as either a crooked PC or a plain villain 😀

I'm almost in the same boat. Almost. I think Japanese animation and comics are generally highly overrated. I'm sure there are some good things out there, but I know many people fall for it because of the cutesy drawings.

If you hate anime, try mangas then, the whole american comic market is doing it in favor of american comics. But that topic aside(which really should be its own topic in the Media section), to each their own when it comes to things we like, with caveats ofc.

Welcome to the forums, the posters here are generally more 'sober'' than the rpgnet crowd. At least you wont get banned for expressing an unpopular opinion. Theres a lot of possible rpgs you could play, im just gonna recommend Root, its a boardgame, a computer game and a tabletop rpg, it seems to be quite new too.

Happy posting:)

Agree with Teenagers from Outer Space mentioned above.  I played a little back in the day, and it was well done and fun.  Basically high school where some students have various unusual origins and abilities, with mechanics tailored to that experience: "Looks" and "Cool" were two of the attributes.  You can recreate a lot of the high-school anime with this game.

and Soap,

Now there's one from wayback.

Fun fact: It was developed on rpg.net, and I have a minor credit.

Quote from: shatterrenamon on June 25, 2021, 11:05:40 PM
I did try other places like Reddit and Discord but it all felt like they were just RPGnet run offs, the same mentality and the same kind of people.

Not yet, but they're rapidly getting there.

Quote from: shatterrenamon on June 25, 2021, 11:05:40 PM
I often feel like an outsider when it comes to rpgs because of three things, I love animation, not just anime but Disney (both movie and tv), Warner Brothers, Fletcher, Chuck Jones, Fritz, Hanna Barbara, and so much more, and I have this habit of wanting to play something like them, to ignore "realism" for something cool, something powerful and dynamic which flows into issue two, I'm a furry, I would love to play a furry race when I can, and no I do not want to hump everything in game or out, I just want to have fun, thing three is I don't like typical high fantasy settings.

Plenty of RPG gamers have similar interests, they're just victims of gatekeeping like you are.

I was banned from RPGnet because I was looking for tips to run a Lion King game session, as in the first two animated movies, no sex, no gore, just a silly adventure within a Disney Property. What I got instead? How can we make this realistic and dark? They ignored what I wanted and started in with magic that made animals talk, and how breeding would happen, and a very brutal system, and when I chimed in to remind them I just wanted a sweet and simple system to run it, I could live without explaining anything. That caused a nasty back and forth before I was banned for call them a bunch of banana brained fuck farts, actually I don't remember what I called them because this was a long time ago but I think is close.

Exactly how long ago was this? Because I couldn't find anything, and the current culture there would never have allowed this to happen.

Another endorsement for Teenagers From Outer Space. Lighthearted comedic, not as manaical as Toon nor as bleak as Paranoia.

Greetings!

Welcome to the website here!

There's nothing wrong with enjoying playing silly, fun games.

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

Toon and especially Big Ears Small Mouse are the other two that can do those sorts of more toony settings well. BESM in particular as it is more a toolbox sort of system and theres a fair emphasis on interaction if one so desires.

Both are harder to find now though.
