Who tf downvoted this? Lol

Tf is with that pretentious-ass conclusion?
@furry
I should specify that the reason I am asking here is that I feel a drive to make a homebrew rpg, but if there's a pre-existing rpg that fills the niche of "game with rules that make your fursona more than just flavor" I would rather just promote that instead of pouring my heart and soul into a knockoff. I'd rather have my work described as "the bastard child of 20 bad wattpad fanfics" instead of "We Have Albedo: the RPG at Home".
Didn't have space to clarify this, but I did some cursory research. Most things I came across were aimed at one specific species, whereas I would like more customizability. Technically, GURPS falls under the criteria of what I am looking for, since you can make literally any character that you can think of, which would by definition include all anthros.

Are there furry #ttrpgs?
Got on a train of thought while debating What To Do With Orcs (I don't see how to fit them within my #dnd setting) when I realized that I could just have #Anthro #Hamsters fill their role. (I mean, they may be small, but I know my hampner would bite my finger off if I let him. Imagine one the size of a person) Which made me think, "Why not go all in on the furry?"
My question is, has a #furry #ttrpg been done? Like, one where you can #roleplay as your #fursona?
You actually reminded of this wonderful #dream I had last night about explaining to my fiancée how earthworms are an invasive species

Used to be you could blow dust off a shelf. Now you can't. Because of woke.
You probably should have thought about your schedule before trying to schedule a whole new campaign.

Back when I played in AL, the appeal was less about the content and more about the ability to show up somewhere with a Char sheet and know there will be a table to play at.

@Godric
So unfair that they keep typecasting black actors into playing black characters.
@mox
Thank you. This was very thorough, and very helpful.
Are there FOSS alternatives to Roll20?
I did a little googling and spotted Foundry Virtual Tabletop, but I haven't been able to explore many alternatives yet. Which ones are good?
@Toes
Not what I'm asking. I'm asking for lore ideas, like why would the King have outlawed Orcs and put a Bounty on their heads.
But is is common for flying characters to be banned. Not sure why. Everybody can get a bow or crossbow, and there's no cover up there.
@LibertyLizard
I'm talking about in-world legality. #MCDM has lore about how dragonborn are created being that were crafted during the reign of Good King Omin, so they are a symbol of that better age. As such, the despotic Lord Ajax has placed a bounty for dragonborn heads.
I don't really have anything comparable in my world, though? There is a bad guy evilling in a holding pattern over the western horizon, but I have other lore about his machinations.
\#DnD DMs of the #Fediverse: Have you ever made a PC race illegal?
I am feeling inspired by #mcdm\_productions worldbuilding where all Dragonborn have a bounty on their heads, which was set by the current king. I would like to do something similar in mine with Orcs, but I'm not sure how to handle that lore-wise.

Are you sure about that?
@LemmyKnowsBest not sure what you are picking up on, but I think our #mastodon server runs well partly because our admin works for Google and can bring his expertise over here. I have mixed feelings about that. He is very obviously a fan of the big tech companies and seemed a bit miffed that we all got so upset about #Threads trying to #federate
@Viking_Hippie they also have never felt full once in their life. It's not something their brain is wired to experience. They remind me of this constantly, as seen in my banner pic https://cdn.masto.host/dicecamp/media_attachments/files/112/026/721/807/170/516/original/8136498ea948dba2.jpg
@Viking_Hippie Cavies are like Rabbits, but are generally hungrier. They like all the vegetables.
However, their normal diet is pellets and hay. They get very excited when they get to have veggies

This is what its like working in childcare. Kids do stuff like this all the time.
Why are all the #peertube instances #defederated from each other?
Has there been drama over there? Is there a functional reason?
Also if you know any good channels, @ them below

New research shows that the insects flying around the streetlights are in fact in a living hell that we made for bugs.
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-44785-3
Essentially, their tiny bug brains think the light is the sunset, so they keep turning to keep the "sun" at the same angle so they can go "straight." No matter how far they fly, they don't make any progress. They are trapped in this little hell we made just for them, not understanding why they can't get to where they are going.
What makes elves fun to play?
Something I've been puzzling over with my #homebrewdnd stuff is about the classic #dnd elf. I don't really know what makes the Elves a compelling race to play. I'm thinking of changing them quite significantly for my campaign, but how far can I change them until they no longer hit the same buttons?
What dnd races are required?
I'm making a new #homebrew #dnd setting. The mistake I felt I made last time was trying to devise an orgin from whole cloth for each playable race, which wasted a TON of time and energy while also confusing my players. So, herein I wish to ask: What playable races would you miss, if you joined my table and noticed their absence?
Humans, dwarves, halflings, orcs, goblinoids, and elves will all stay, but I am not sure about all the others.
Is ProtonVPN worth it?
Got reminded of this while reading about ProtonMail. The reason I haven't gotten into proper #piracy is that I don't have a VPN for torrenting, and the reason I don't have a VPN is that I don't #torrent. So it would be nice if I got a good VPN while #degoogling myself.
Will ProtonVPN rat me out to Comcast? I know some VPNs don't hide what you're downloading from your ISP, for reasons I don't fully understand.

The Riddle of Steel
I have an idea for a get-rich-quick scheme: using the Bessemer process to create massive amounts of high-quality steel. However, I'm sure my #DM has not given a single thought to this (because I know her) so I'm worried that this might give God fun #worldbuilding ideas to fuck with our party. How do I tell my group my plan, without having the industrialized slave company I know is on the other side of the map spontaneously develop a similar process?
