    Most of us don't play furries in our RPGs, preferring to separate our fetishes from our games. Those that don't often prefer to start as a non-furry, and have it transform over the course of the campaign or all at once with polymorph magic. We try to ignore them.

    Depending on the player and their group they either play furry versions of what character they'd like to play, or a non-furry version.

    If you're wondering what the furry versions are like there are torrents of the various furry-centric RPGs.

    No furries, I have a few animal-people like gnolls in one though.
    A DnD campaign had a razorclaw shifter in it from a girl I know is a furry. However she played it as a ranger with claws and fur.
    I've only had one retarded player as of yet and he was strictly anti-furry.
    So, I don't get the hatred in RPG groups at all.

    You know, from a roleplaying perspective the mage's familiar fulfills a lot of the social aspects in his life that a spouse would. Constant live in, foil of opinion, closest friend and confidante, puts up with consuming hobbies (magical study), shares deepest secrets and dreams, etc.

    Just food for thought. Note I left out sex; this is deliberate, as I'm not trying to troll: if your wizard's familiar is a donkey and you describe the show you put on every night, you've got issues.

    I played and play various characters, had only one that could be shoehorned as a furry, a Cicerack in Battlelords of the 23rd Century.

    I wouldn't say that I'm a furry though, I'm an individual.

    I keep my identity detached from subcultures, hobbies and fetishes.

    Why should I dress black and wear eyeliner because I like music categorized as "goth"?
    Am I also supposed to wear orange just because I like orange juice?

    I'm not really a fan of adding pointless shit to an existing setting just to fulfil my own fucked-up fantasies.

    Even if I did play a furry I probably wouldn't draw much attention to the fact. I mean, it's just another humanoid species. You don't have dwarves running around talking about their beards and height.

    I tend to just play normal characters. Although none of them have been human so far, none have been furry either. Warforged, dwarf, and halfling so far, and I don't think I'd ever play a furry character. Probably because I keep my fetish separate from other things.

    There's one guy in my group is a Furry, but he doesn't bring it up in the game... like, ever. No characters of his have ever been furry; he tends towards playing True Neutral Spy archtypes; usually a stealth class or a stealth/caster combo class with alot of diplomacy and investigational skills and knowledge type skills. Tends to play it as a "I do this because someone must" sort of thing, with his actions usually leaning towards doing evil things to achieve good ends.

    In other words, he's like most people that have a fetish; they keep it to themselves and small groups of people similarly interested.

    As an aside, I am usually the DM. However, last character I played in somebody elses game was a Gnoll Ranger; played him as the Great White Hunter from the victorian era, was actually alot of fun. Setting was steampunk though, a homebrew where most of the races eventually got over killing each other for no reason and set off a renaissance of development and learning, and mostly got along with each other on a personal level, though there were still wars and such they were more along the lines of country vs country then "There's orcs over there, lets go kill them for being orcs".

    Its the simple reality of economics though; once a civilization develops to a certain point, it cannot continue existance in a constant war-footing. Someone has to mine the ore, someone has to learn how to make the swords, someone has to make the food, someone has to do all the various things that are basically required to allow us all to not be monkey's living in the trees. This rule applies to pretty much everyone; sure, groups may not get along with each other, but eventually you run out of space to expand further, and have to deal with the other races/groups/nations in the land. Which leads to politics, and to trade. And once trade starts going, you start getting people more and more willing to talk things over then to go to war at the drop of a hat, because war is generally not very profitable unless you are in a very specific economic spectrum.

    Its not hippy-dippy bullshit, its just the way that civilization works by necessity. Sure, there have been thousands of wars over the millenia of human civilization, but the actual percentage of time spent fighting and time spent doing other things...

    Anyway, I hate the trend in fantasy to make anything that isn't human into a huge steriotype.

    Indeed, holding up historical figures (and assumedly historically-based worlds) accountable to modern philosophies and moral codes is irrational. I wholeheartedly agree.

    >>8665982

    This is very relevant, however. Wars are expensive, people lose interest in them quickly, and in general they are bad for stability. The threat of war isn't always so, but the war itself invariably is. The purpose of war is to secure resources to live, and it is sad when many fantasy settings confuse the order of those two.

    thats sort of my point. The point of races like orcs and gnolls is that they are barbaric representations of evil. They are universal squishies.
    To argue that we should get along with them is kind of like saying that they've just been misunderstood for so long, what with the brain eating and murdering for no reason. There is a reason why gnolls are labeled as "enjoying the flesh of sentient creatures above all else". Because they're fucking evil.
    And besides... once we hit the age of reason in the real world, all wars between humans stopped, amiright? Especially now, minor cultural issues can't cause war, amiright?

    Ah, but now you are getting into specific setting design. Orcs and Gnolls are culturally different in each setting; in the generic D&D setting, you are correct. In other settings, that simply may not be the case. I'll grant you, getting along with an intelligent species that directly decends from a predator species would be pretty hard, but not out of the question.

    I whole-heartedly agree that in settings like the Forgotten Realms, where there is direct and quantifiable evidence that evil races were made by their own gods for the express purpose of being evil, that making a "Lone good member" PC is stupid. However, if we're talking a homebrew or a setting that has reached the Age of Reason... Its a whole different ballgame. What if in this particular setting, the Gods are more like they are in reality; distant and unprovable? What if its been determined that the force of faith is what powers clerical magic, not what the person believes in, and the Gods either don't exist or never intervene?

    I guess you are debating realism vs High Fantasy for motivations.

    And indeed, in the setting where they ARE incarnations of evil, nobody will be trying to redeem them. See LotR.

    But there are many settings where Orcs are just "Barbarian stereotype". You CAN reason with guys like that. Why would you not try? It's just common sense.

    Also:
    >And besides... once we hit the age of reason in the real world, all wars between humans stopped, amiright? Especially now, minor cultural issues can't cause war, amiright?

    There's also the point that the scale of most conflicts in D&D doesn't really equate to a war. A band of 15 town guards backing up 5 player characters going into a small settlement and taking out 30 orcs that have been raiding caravans for a few weeks... isn't a war. Its a skirmish, a local sort of affair. Its actually fairly rare for there to be full scale Wars in most fantasy settings, because of two reasons:

    1) PC's don't have a hope in hell of influencing a war between two full scale nation states going at each other in any reasonable way; even if its relatively small, and both sides are only capable of fielding, say, 10000 troops.

    2) Very few systems can handle mass combat well.

    What's evil about gnolls and orcs are not their gods perse. It's the fact that they are organized with the sole intent to disrupt attack and occasionally devour civilization.
    Their actions make them evil, and are inherit to the races since forever. The only reason for any shift in this is the 'daw, they's just be misunderstood massah' additude. Yes, when you fundamentally alter a race, they can get along with other races. But, even if you take it down to the bare bones, we are talking about a warlike race with no culture or basis for understanding culture. They aren't going to just agree to be peaceful because it's an age of reason unless you've altered them in your setting to not be what they are.
    Go ahead, have your orcs be purple peaceniks who fart rainbows.That's how you want to do it, fine, but don't get pissy with other people who call a spade a fucking spade.

    What I am saying is that in a non high-fantasy setting, basing an entire culture or species on something like raiding and pillaging is a little stupid. Lets look at some real world analogues;
    The Vikings and the Mongols; both of which had fully developed civilizations despite being highly war-like and barbarians, and both of which had extensive trade relations with other groups inspite of this.

    What I am saying is my overall theme here is that in a non high-fantasy setting (eg; a setting where there is a consistant and grounded in reality basis behind all the cultural groups) that its silly to assume that every orc, gnolls, goblin, whatever you happen to meet is going to be a homicidal maniac that attacks humans on sight just because Lol Evil.

    As I said, I agreed with you on the basis of the pregen D&D settings, but that in a more realistic setting, its flat out wrong. It all comes down to taste anyway; you clearly enjoy the more hack n slash Conan/FR/Whatever stuff, and thats perfectly fine. I like to build settings for my games that are more consistant with reality.

    Don't assume shit. I hate hack and slash. But an orc is a god damned orc. If you want a "realistic setting" then you need to understand human nature a little better than "lol peace"
    But I've come to the conclusion that, while being an idiot, you have an ok point or two. So, rather than trying to win an arguement on the internet, I'll go have a sandwhich.

    I never said anything about it being universal peace; I said it was more refined and they weren't attacking each other on sight by dint of them simply being another race. Human nature is definitely war-like, but it still requires the infrastructure, and the infrastructure requires that what wars you have have an objective beyond "Durr, Orcs are bad, lets kill them." That kind of conflict won't be supported by the population trying to maintain that war-effort for too terribly long.

    As a further point, we can get along with Bad when money or a greater objective is on the line; see the entire Colonial period right up through the cold-war and our current dealings with China. Also, I never said crapall about World of Warcraft, which is a terrible setting. The current setting I run games in is Iron Kingdoms.

    Luckily each RPG groups setting is unique.

    If you're playing 100% canon you're doing it boring and stifle everyone (I can see the point if you're changing DMs and players a lot or you're playing oneshots on a convention) so where is the point in arguing about the way people play their games?

    Reinterpretation of characters.

    There's stupid ways to do it: "I like wolves, I like Sephiroth! So here's Sephiroth in wolf form!"

    But there's also the aspect of craftmanship where you try to see if you can transfer the essence of a character into a different form, like a caricature.

    I am with you 100% of that, I've had to flat out ban two players over the years who were refusing to do anything but make TOTALLY UNIQUE Drizz't clones.

    That said, the Iron Kingdoms setting is actually pretty great. The D20 stuff doesn't really fit it very well if you play the table top though; in the table top, for instance, most people who get shot once are flat out dead. And a Warjack is an all but unstoppable juggernaut of destruction that takes armies to bring down. In D20... they are just 14-16 HD creatures and a rifle does 2d8 damage. You can, of course, house-rule the shit out of this to fix it, which I've personally done, not that you want to hear 2 or 3 pages of house-rules.

    That real gem is the fluff though; the World Guide is like 600 pages long and doesn't stat a single thing. Its literally nothing but fluff; it reads sort of like a modern sociology book about the setting, covering everything from religious sub-orders, full history, motivations of each nation involved, motivations of the major players in those nations, economic rundown, tech rundown, development rundown... it just goes on and on. And you know, the fluff is just flat out awesome.

    As a salient point to our earlier conversation, in the Iron Kingdoms the three "biggest" Monster Races in the area have largely been subsumed by mankind; the Gobbers (Goblins), Ogrun (Orcs), and Trollkin (Somewhere in between; they are like intelligent scotish trolls about the size of a large human) have, deep in the mists of history, been at war with the humans in the classical fantasy sense, but got their asses kicked literally millenia ago, and have in alot of ways sort of integrated into society. This leads to cultural identity problems for them, and is NOT universal (some cities will arrest an Ogrun for carrying a weapon of any kind, for instance), but they generally take part in society at large. Trollkin are the only ones that have a nationalistic identity anymore, because they managed to keep the wild places to themselves all the way up to the current time frame of the setting, though they often trade freely with human nations and can walk freely in some of them.

    Any "monster" race in the setting that isn't powerful enough to have a fully developed nation-structure is widely considered barely relevant and ignored unless they get uppity though.

    The obvious way would be to go the fable way and apply the fox to a character whose characteristics work with the archetype.

    The different way would be to try and have the fox apply to a radically different sort of character but still keep it recognisable as both the character and a fox.

    That result can be very interesting/funny.

    It may not always be fun to look at, but it certainly is fun to draw.

    I must say that I'm pleasantly surprised by this thread. I came in expecting trolling, and what I got was an intelligent discussion on the rise of nations. To your point, I myself tend to prefer worlds that are internally, logically consistent. That's not to say that I can't enjoy a good, old-fashioned good-vs-evil high fantasy every once and a while; that's just not my priority. I much prefer worlds that, while they may have vastly different rules from our own, are consistent within themselves.

    A bit of a side-note; do you use the direct address "sir" when attempting to conceal minor annoyance? Because I find myself slipping into that habit occasionally.

    I've noticed I tend to do that too, but I've run way too much steampunk over the last... two years or so. With a combination of running a weekly Iron Kingdoms game and picking up the tabletop version of the same (Warmachine; Menoth, fuck yeah), I find myself inundated with Victorian stylings. It doesn't help that I am an English major, and my classes for the last year or so have very largely revolved around the rise of American Transcendentalism and the 19th century philosophies it spawned.

    That said, back on the semi-initial topic, I do not have an inherent hatred of anthropomorphic races in a game setting. There seems to be alot of knee-jerk reaction to it, thanks largely to batshit insane furries it must be admitted, but I tend to find that if its setting appropriate and not clearly a device for some bad writers fetishism, there isn't anything actually wrong with them.

    The fact is that the batshit insane furries generally don't play tabletop RPGs with other people in the flesh.

    They prefer (or rather prefurr, ha! I slay myself) to hang out in enviroments where their delusions are reinforced by other retards like them. (second life for example)

    The gamist elements of an RPG enviroment turns it unattractive for headcases because their characters could only exist as overpowered mary sue munchkins or break the game mechanics.

    This is very true; I've noticed reading through some of the worst offenders on places such as ED, that a common thread is using the whole Fur thing as an escapist identity. "I don't like my life, so I will make up a new life and be the best at everything and blah blah blah", etc. This isn't to say that there isn't an element of this in most people who play tabletop games, since they are all really escapist in nature, but it always seems to be taken to the umpteenth degree by some of those furry people. And yeah, its very annoying when someone does it, regardless of the character. Someone with that attitude is an irritating prick if they are playing a Dwarf, a Human, a Drow, or a bipedal Wolf.

    As an aside, do you notice the prevalance of predator animals amongst the artwork? Its always wolves or big hunting cats for the worst of them.

    Makes you wonder what they'd eat normally. All-predator society assuming similar population levels to the real Earth as is shown at the progress levels shown... they wouldn't be able to physically derive nourishment from plant materials, since their intestinal tracts just can't process it. Which means you'd need to have enough farming of OTHER animals to support what? 4-6 Billion alpha predators? It would take far, far more resources then the Earth (or any other similarly sized planet) could possibly support and sustain.

    Good sir, judging by the level of technology present in that short comic strip, one would assume that they are or were able to support such large populations by incubating cancerous tumors cells of prey animals to derive meat. They would simply bath the cells in artificial nutrient fluids (The nutrients themselves extracted from transgenic algae) in huge industrialized growing chambers, probably stacked on top of each other in sky scrapers to save space.

    It might not being as efficient as deriving nutrients from plant matter, but its more efficient then raising livestock through conventional methods.

    It could be good sir, I just suggested a more sustainable food source. If we can industrialize the surface and depths of all the oceans of the earth for food, we can quite easily feed a population a hundred times larger then it is currently.

    I can possibly say even a few trillion people can sustained if that were the case.

    The funny thing is that most predator furries would not be able to drink alcohol. Same as tea, cola and coffee, since all these things are based on plant matter.

    On the other hand, some of them might have a high resistance to animal poisons. So instead of drinking coffee swamp dwellers would lick poisonous frogs for refreshment.

    That's assuming many things, but that aside, such a scenario would (probably) never occur since food shortage would cause famine and mass death long before such a discrepancy between population and prey arose. Basically, they'd reach a cap of sustainability and starve to death before their numbers hit six billion, and with less predators, the prey (assuming they weren't didn't go extinct or lose too much genetic diversity) would bounce back, as it were. Or the prey could be extincted forcing the predators to resort to cannibalism. Whichever you like.

    Like this scenario a lot good sir, if creativity permits, maybe a divergent path of evolution occurs in the predatory population as a result of cannibalism? Two groups diverge to adapt at eating each other, developing a mutual relationship of selective cannibalism to survive, as both groups evolve to suit the tastes and nutrient requirements, and reproductive requirements of the other group and vice versa.

    An interesting point, bad art aside. An anthro-bear race would probably be quite likely to survive long term; not only do you have the physical strength and stamina of a bear, but they have a well developed and built in maternal instinct, and suddenly you have the intellectual capacity of a man.

    Well good sir, when I say two groups of the population, I implied that each of them have a equal number of males and females, to begin with they are probably somewhat different because of their already distinct phenotype traits within the gene pool of the overall population. Such as being more adapted to a colder environment or hotter environment.

    This is assuming a bottle neck takes place, where all their food sources have gone extinct. And their only real choice for survival is to resort to cannibalism.

    Of course in the beginning they would only eat enemies, then the weak and the lame members of their society, and only in drastic situations eat higher members in the pecking order. This gradually would diverge as divergent evolution takes over when migration of genes within the population stops because of the obvious hostilities, resulting in lower diversity within each subspecies, but greater difference in traits.

    Setting up a situation where a subspecies are going to have to raid and kill each other to obtain food.

    And if their sentient and sapient enough to understand that mutual relationship is far beneficial then a destructive one, both of the subspecies will face even more evolutionary pressures as they evolve to suit the nutrient requirements, tastes and other physiologic features necessary for each subspecies group to survive.

    Then again maybe its would only work in fantasy?

    If they interbreed, you don't have unique phenotypes anymore. Also, scenario sounds reminiscent of The Time Machine by H.G. Wells, or at least the movie based on it. Been too long since I read the book.

    Sexual selection good sir. A individual have a higher likelihood to mate with individual with similar traits.

    And like i said, the two groups must already have different traits for this to work properly. The environment must be diverse and the subspecies must live in different conditions, and of course interbreeding is going to occur but in very low frequencies, and the resultant offsprings are extremes on the population distribution curve, not the average, and negligible because of social stigma and taboo from such arrangements.

    Just like how humans are separate into several different races that have many implied stereotypes, and how over the course of written history, these differences have yet to be resolved by interbreeding and gene mixing.

    Why does everyone associate furry explicitly with furry porn? I like playing anthropomorphic characters in RPs rather often. When it's explicitly allowed I play a wolf (Common as hell, I know) and when it isn't I tend toward a lycanthrope, assuming that it's a freeform RP. Otherwise I like making wacky over-the-top humanoid characters.
