How do I do it Veeky Forums?

Step 1: avoid magical realms/sexualization of anything.

yeah, all the beasts should be neutered or spayed.

Easy, make them badass as shit and/or savage bloodthirsty and metal as fuck. Get inspiration from metal album covers.

All you need to do is not be a total fag.

Stop caring and just make what you think sounds cool.

Really the only way you can really make it furry shit is if you give females breasts and other conventionally attractive human aspects on bipedal animals. Just make them animalistic, it really wont be bad.

You don't.

Anthropomorphized animals=furry.

They reproduce via mitosis.

Avoid the topic of sex, sexuality, and avoid giving them sexual traits. Then act confused and ever so slightly horrified by people bringing up sexuality in it.
Also Don't forget to spay and neuter your beastmen.

Make them bipedal animals and stop there. If they're more anthropomorphic than REDWALL, there's a problem.

Human bodies with animal heads and fur/scales = furry.

Animal bodies with human heads and skin = acceptable.

Forget the word "furry" and all the stigma that goes with it. All beastmen are furry/scalie.

If your RPG isn't about futa vore cubs or whatever just write what you want without worrying unduly.

Just don't oversexualize everything. Simple as that.

But if you want to make an online game, god help you.

Step 1 Don't be a faggot
Step 2 Just make what you fucking think will be fun. Stop worrying about what's furry shit
Step 3 get player input. They have a horse in this race as well

Just do it already you fag, who cares what other people think? Besides, if someone calls you out, take comfort in the fact that they are probably the furries themselves since they recognized it so fast.

Play Ironclaw with people that aren't creeps.

I know what those words mean, but in that combination they make no sense.

Maybe literally

Incidentally it's really hard to find horse folk that aren't furry or Bojack

>tfw ran a beastman rpg
>only got uncomfortable once due to a massive oversight on my end

In my defense, every setting should have blackjack and hookers.

literally

Make them monkey beastmen. That way if it does become magical realm for someone it will be slightly less fucked up.

or make them all about sexuality and rape,but make it horrifying instead of lewd

Don't make the beastmen too human and attractive. Sure, make them bipedal and give them hands or other manipulators, but don't just plonk a stylized animal's head on a hairy human body.

Take inspiration from all primates as far as body types and postures are concerned, not just homo sapiens.

It might help if you use races that are, whilst anthropomorphic, given some cultural hooks beyond "I'm a talking cat with boobs".

I don't know what system you're planning to use as a base, but even D&D, for example, has dozens of different animalistic races across its history. Lupins, for example, are faux-French swashbuckling wolf-people. Tortles are quiet, peaceful but not pacifistic turtle people. Aranea are shapechanging spiders with an immense natural talent for magic. Tabaxi are South American-themed jaguar and leopard people. Lizardfolk have had some very interesting tribal lore given behind them. Pathfinder's ratfolk make a unique replacement for the "obligatory small race" slot normally filled by gomes & halflings. Hell, even gnolls, kobolds and minotaurs have cultures you can use to cook PC races from.

The problem is even if you go out of you way to make them as non-sexual as possible, at least one person in the party will want to fuck them, or at the very least consider the possibility of fucking them.

Just don't bring up sexual shit until a player does. There is literally nothing wrong with procreation.

>despite lion monarch, city mostly run by various council members
But that's how lions actually operate, so well done.

Mouse Guard.

This. Although, they're more like sapient animals than actual beastmen

Redwall works too if you can handle the black and white morality of cute and cuddly==good , ugly and beastly == evil

It's both funny and sad how the internet has warped our perception of something that's been part of human history for as long as "talking animal people" have. One of the most timeless stories we continue telling our children to this day is about a giant wolf that swallows an old lady whole, dresses up as a woman, and baits a young girl closer so he can eat her as well. Then, an axeman comes to carve open the wolf's bulging gut, with the explicitness of the scene depending on the version of the story. By Grimm standards, this is still one of the tamer ones.

Looking through that story with the internet's eyes, that's got to be at least 4 different fetishes right there, but most people don't even bat an eye to the Big Bad Wolf. Hell, even stories like are completely normal by Veeky Forums standards, and if you replaced all the furry folk with elves and dwarves there'd be nothing out of the ordinary. Players would probably be high-fiving each other because "LOL BROTHEL CRAWL".

As others have said, as long as you're not directly drawing inspiration from "furry culture" itself, there's no reason to be afraid of running an all-beastfolk game.

It's not too difficult.
I've run my setting which is 80% anthro with non-furries and they thought it was fun. I ran it later with furries and nothing weird happened. Nothing wierd beyond the fact that I was using the teseract death-cube dungeon that someone on /tg invented a while back.

When you get going with something share it around with some friends or here. I started with my system almost six years ago and it was the team of people who helped me.. Whenever something comes up that I'm not sure about I just ask the rest of the team.
"Should we retcon the crocodiles who fight with pitchforks and broadswords to eat people?"
"Yeah, that sounds kinda vore fetishy."
Boom, problem solved. Having a team keeps me grounded in reality.

Make the beastmen more animalistic. Think closer to redwall or the WHFB beastmen.

>How do I do it Veeky Forums?
unfortunately never, as hard as you might try to play it strait, someone WILL cry "FUR FAG!" because while some will want to just repeat a meme because they think that makes them cool, while some get their knickers in a twist over anything that's not 'bland ol' fantasy setting', inevitably at least one of these will be in your group.

The solution to this was already posted up here:

still a true statement.
and it still validates the other post.

Since you can't make everyone happy; eh, fuck 'em and do what you want.

Make the beastmen ugly. Ask yourself why you are unwilling to make the beastmen ugly.

>implying someone won't fap to them anyway

You're Sisyphus trying to push that rock uphill, user. Give up, the gods have decreed that you can't make something that nobody will fap to. Geometry user proved that already.

I, for one, don't care if a player gets off to something I made for the campaign, just as long as he doesn't whip it out right there in front of everyone and goes to town, I'm happy.

Just use ears and tail.

That ain't furry.

Try not to worry about it.

Just do what you think is cool and don't go into vivid detail about how they look.

Well, the moment you bring up beastmen, that's already turning things furry in the eyes of some. But as long as you're not a fucking creeper about it, it should be fine.

Play TMNT or After the Bomb.

Custom anthro animals, great chargen, no furry sexualization*.

>* Pleasure Bunnies being the exception.

>tfw you wanna make an all beastman setting but dont want to divulge into furry shit
>tfw you wanna run a game set in a castle dungeon but dont want to divulge into S&M shit
>tfw you wanna make an setting with lots of giant but dont want to divulge into macro/micro shit
>tfw you wanna make a game with lots of fighting but dont want to divulge into gore shit

How about you don't be so fucking insecure about who might be secretly getting off to something you made, OP?

Because, here's a secret for you: there will 𝘢lw𝘢ys be someone.

Like so. Overgrowth is awesome.

Also, furry isn't all bad, mate. Sure, it's mostly shit, but there's Usagi Yojimbo, Ironclaw, Albedo, those are excellent works that feature furry characters.

But yes, yes, before the shitstorm come I'll gladly admit that most furry I've stumbled upon was ridiculously cancerous badness.

But yeah, you're using an exemple of furry used without being cancerous, so it's not a real question is it?

Ironclaw surprised me by being a decent system; actually manages to balance magic vs. everything else pretty well, there's a lot of neat tricks and abilities you can get to make things interesting without inadvertently crippling your character, and combat feels tense and exciting.

But God almighty, the cover art hurts my soul just looking at it.

Learn from the classics and make them like Disney characters.
It's still furry but nobody will complain.

Make them very animal-y. The furries are basically just people who are animals when it suits them for dumb reasons. On the other hand, if your Egypt-themed crocodile people have actively enslaved the oxen-people to not only build pyramids but also get tortured to death and made into ox-people-tartar.

Animals don't crossbreed except in very rare circumstances. Anyone who wants to date outside their breed is fucking weird. etc.

I'd focus on the zoology and ecology of it so the beastmen are believable and evocative, and not just stand-ins for weird weeaboos dickheads. It's the reason I kill all the elves when I DM fantasy games - because they're just super cool humans, they don't actually have a thing besides being giant Mary Sues. On the other hand, every other race has to make hard choices about their characterizations and how they are perceived by others, so they work much better.

As a furry who has seen a lot of the furry fandom, you can't. Quite simply the furry fandom covers everything from simple anthropomorphics to the weirdest sexual shit that involves animal people. TNMT is furry and so is all the weird fucking porn of it. Some people in this thread have said to just make them Red Wall esque or more beastlike, still furry because i've seen plenty of porn like that. Just look up all the porn of the Charr. And seriously, there is Secret of NIMH porn and Red Wall porn.

My advice: just make the setting however you feel like. Why worry what some anonymous faggot on Veeky Forums thinks of your setting.

>tfw you wanna make a setting where tile patterns exist but you know it's at least one person's fetish so it's completely off-limits now
How about you do it anyway? Even if your players are furries they won't necessarily make it sexual.

don't have them fuck
there, i solved every problem on this issue.

but furries are incapable of not inserting their horrible fetish into everything, that's why they got banned from this website.

Why does the author hate character progression?

Hahahaha

This site is full of fucking furries. You're deluding yourself if you believe otherwise.

source?

Jesus shit, you underestimate not only furries, but also every single fetishist on the surface of this planet.
Even if all characters' genitals and erogenous zones were locked away behind an impenetrable forcefield, I can guarantee you that any party of diehard fetishists would still be able to make it into an utter fetish-fest. In fact, because you can't get to the fucking (which tends to be pretty pedestrian) there'll be more space left for the fetish. Fetishes, after all, are specifically defined as a sexual attraction to something conventionally considered non-sexual, and doesn't have to mean sex with or including that thing.

That sounds scary, user.

/thread

Reverse catboy a cute. CUTE!

So talk to your players about what they want out of the game, and what you're hoping to do with the game, before you start.

If any player goes into uncomfortable territory, point it out as soon as possible, and ask them to stop. If they keep doing it, and the rest of the group agrees that they're being an asshole, kick them out of the game. If you're uncomfortable, but the rest of the group sees no problem, just make your excuses and stop GMing for that group.

Of course, this would require maturity and social skills, and hahaha why did I even type this no-one who actually needs to know this shit is going to read this post.

>but furries are incapable of not inserting their horrible fetish into everything,
So, why are foot, futa and monstergirl fetishists okay?

Internet memes, user.

>foot and futa
I haven't seen any of this on blue boards
>monstergirls
rebranded furfaggotry

however, trapfags need to be stopped

>because they're just super cool humans, they don't actually have a thing besides being giant Mary Sues
Super cool humans... Hahahaha... The Sidar sure, but average run of the mill Elves? Please. They're the laughing stock of everyone from the lowliest Kobold to the greatest Eagle, only kept around so the Dwarves have a good whipping boy to pick on.

Hell, Elven men in particular are so pathetic their women are leaving them in droves. Thus resulting in the classic "ALL ELVES ARE SLOOTS" cliche.

Shit that just sounds more like a plot hook than a limitation.

commencing beastmen images dump

Come to /co/ if you want to see evidence of footfags.

that fire mage is too fluffy for his own good.

There was some flexibility for it, just not for Reptiles. Rabbits were dicks and pretentious, there was a couple of wildcats who were good, and Shrews backstabbed a lot of the time.

Ironclaw is the greatest system that nobody will ever touch, and that's a damn shame.

seems the best thing to do is make it very clear that animals have Human body shape, with animal influences, but their heads are animal heads. Bit hard to wank to a catgirl if it looks like a full on khajit, and if they can, theres nothing you can do.

Combine that with those self sustaining wizard cities and great and mighty crusades to WASH AWAY THE SIN WITH BLOOD and you got yourself something kickass.

and this is all i've got. Anyone with beastmen/animal people pics please post so I can add them to my collection.

I got some.

Lobstermen are cool

When you've got fireproofing spells, you don't worry how fluffy you are. Or you make like Edward Teach and deliberately set fire to it, at which point you basically become the sun from Mario 3.
