I swear it's not furry

just do it and stop caring about what people on a tibetan gymnastics forum think

Thats what I'm doing, I'm just asking for a way to find more art/inspiration instead of furry shit

oh

well reread all of the old stories I guess

and redwall

and Mouse Guard

So you basically want to play an Armello RPG?

Truth be told I'd play an Armello RPG.

Though if you want something that actually exists that meets your requirements there's Mouse Guard, Iron Claw if you can get over the shitty cover art.

i'll do that, thanks dude

If I ever ran a Mouse Guard game, I'd definitely take inspiration from The Dark Portal and the other Deptford Mice books.
When I read these books in Middle School, I was already very familiar with Stephen King and even I thought they were messed up.

Maybe someone finished this? All I have is the very much unfinished version from a while back.

Check out the 2nd Edition Iron Claw book.
The art as a whole is DA-tier except for the race section. The art is great in that part and avoids any overt sexualization if maybe a little more anthro than what you are looking for.

Also, the movie based on pic.

It's not anthro.

That's a pretty serious story to be based around a fucking pun.

The furry community term is "feral". But, uh... that only really helps you if you're looking for non-anthro drawings of animals fucking.

If you're looking for google terms, try "fairy tales" or "folk tales". Also, maybe read Aesop's Fables?

Mouse Guard is probably the most "professional" animal RPG. Lovely art, cool setting. The rules are kinda janky. The setting is based on a graphic novel, so you read that along with Redwall.

Veeky Forums always mentions Iron Claw when this topic comes up. Personally, it's just slightly too furry for me to feel comfortable getting the book and showing it to my players, so I haven't run it.

There's at least 2 different RPGs if you want to run a game like Watership Down: Bunnies & Burrows (GURPS based) or The Warren (Apocalypse World based).

But I know what you're really here for, OP. You want that real fairy tale feel. I'm talking Peter Rabbit, Benjamin Bunny, Jemima Puddle-Duck.
You need Golden Sky Stories.
Now hang on, you're gonna google it and see a cat girl on the cover. Hear me out: this isn't some trashy weeb shit. Think more along the lines of a Ghibli movie. It's whimsical, cute, and even kid-friendly.
In the default setting, you play as magical animals trying to solve human problems in a small town. But you could also easily run it in a Peter Rabbit-style animal village or even a Zootopia-like city.

I hear you-Iron Claw is a pretty spiffy system, and it's got a decent setting, but dear God, it doesn't do itself any favors in terms of presentation.

Like pic related eh?

Ironclaw
Mouseguard

See, that's ACTUAL anthropomorphization, as opposed to furry shit they hijacked the word to mean.

>It
Nah, GSS is a good game, but will not go with a Peter Rabbit setting. The point of the game is that the PCs resolve human/gods problems, basically. Even if there are more henge (by canon not really, but it could work, see the manga by the illustrator) it would be very different.
Also Salmon (in Colours) is the cutest, cat a shit (pun very intended).

MG is TECHNICALLY what OP looks for, but it's surprisingly brutal or at least "serious". Survivalist, even. Not at all farytale-like. It's like they took LOTR rangers (or perhaps even Navy SEALs, seriously) and made them mouse-sized. A boar isn't a boar, is fucking Godzilla.

The Warren is basically Watership Down so on one hand the feeling is more or less there (tough remember Bigwig's scene? Expect MUCH of that, unless you explicitly make the game less "naturalistic". Or cats actually scaring the shit out of you like Deep Ones in COC didn't ever), on the other hand yeah, real rabbits with a human mind, so no tools, no houses, etc.

I actually think I HEARD about some games more like you described (possibly some games for children about fairy tales?) but can't remember shit. I say this because it's a niche that should be filled, actually. But I guess furries are so bad that no one really puts his mind on that, fearing fetish fuel shit.

>make cool setting with animal people that's not furshit
>the only people willing to play it are furry turboautists who want to furiously masturbate at the table and ignorant normies because everyone else is scared of the furry turboautists
the only winning move is not to play

Mouse Guard is focused on mice, but has a lot of great art, largely because of its three anthologies which presents the world in different art styles. Peterson's is also great though and with three comic book volumes there's a lot of art to draw from there.

This is what I never understood about mouse guard.

On one hand they go to great lengths to make it like mice have invented a feudal civilization, but otherwise it is very realistic: they're still mice so most animals are a threat, most predators are forces of nature, etc.

Then on the other hand, they'll have a single mouse with a sword fight a snake or a weasel hundreds of times their size.

I haven't read this story (which one is it?), but this looks like a setup that practically requires deus ex machina to walk out alive.

Nothing you do will make then non furry OP. Even if no one says it to your face, someone is gonna fap themselves to it. It's inevitable. It's been happening since the dawn of time. Just look at how the Minotaur was created.

>mice
>giant cat ears

Da fuck?

It's an in-universe fable, the canon continuity rarely has as fantastical things (though it does still happen that it's taken a bit far). There it's hiding around in a bush, getting surprised by a fox, having a companion distract them by getting their leg bitten off, run up a vine and try to chop at its snout with the momentum but miss, then run away and lure it into vines so that it gets stuck and you can finally kill it when it's helpless.

...

I've always wanted to play a secret of NIMH style post apocalyptic game like in the web comic Scurry.
scurrycomic.com/scurry-comic

Most guardmice go in planning to give their lives for the cause. Those who find a good trick become competent slayers. Mice are smarter than everybody else, thats how they stay ahead. Its not explicit, but it is a pattern.

Armello also has some pretty good stuff, their heads at least are entirely animalistic.

...

I'm sorry, but your mother was a furfag.

is armello any good? how is the game pacing?

I haven't gotten to play it yet, thinking of picking it up during the sale as I've been eyeing it a while. The only thing I've seen criticized is the multiplayer because of pay to win and server issues, and I wouldn't do multiplayer so I'm not too bothered.

I Kickstarted it back in the day and played it pretty frequently for a few months. It's got some nice presentation and flavor, but the game itself is way too reliant on RNG to make strategies going in the game at first (you have to pretty much just aimlessly wander around until you get the cards you need to plan how to proceed) and while being able to play cards on opponents' turns is an interesting idea it kind of sucks in that you can't relax for a second on your own turn or else someone might fuck over your whole strategy. Haven't played in a while so I don't know how much they've improved, but the last I've checked they've added a "chest and key" system to get people to play more and spend money on the Marketplace, so I have concerns over the game's future. Not to mention they've flat out reneged on Kickstarter promises.

Interesting ideas, but not the best execution. Kind of wish they'd just reuse the assets and make a regular RPG instead.

mouse guard and redwall. dont do that weird thing where its looked down upon when an animal eats meat.

There IS a Mouse Guard RPG, its based off of Burning Wheel, its a collaboratiom between David Petersen and Luke Crane, and its fairly great!

Mutant undergångens arvtagare / mutant heris of the Apocalypse sounds like what you´re looking for.

Like a lot of anons are saying, making them more animalistic will help perception, but a certain present age of people will still be idiots and call you a furfag. Just do what you like. Been working on a bug RP in and off the last year, inspired by the bugworld threads that disappeared.

Anyone play it?
How complex are the rules compared to D&D?

>Is there a word for this?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funny_animal

I don't think anyone uses it outside of cartooning anymore though, furries have ruined everything.

Can't much beyond this, but..

> Watership Down
> Secret of Nimh
> Wind in the Willows
> Brer Rabbit
> Animal Farm

>tfw loved animal fables as a kid
>can't talk about them publicly without everyone thinking you're a weirdo thanks to furfaggotry
>furries are now mainstream knowledge thanks to their constant attention whoring, so it's not even limited to the internet
I can't express in words how much I hate those sex-obsessed degenerates.

play gamma world, faggot.

So you really want you I players to have the ability to give their female dog characters 6 tits op? I'm just saying, some times you need to give into some evils to prevent far greater ones.

Simpler. Not that it means much, DND is a solid 8.5 on the complexity of RPGs.

Why don't you suck a fucking dick, op, goddamn stupid nerd BITCH

This.

I just want to enjoy some whimsical stories involving animals and not people. We had plenty (Rocky and Bullwinkle, Mr Toad's Wild Ride, etc) long before our culture started characterizing all animal characters as some weird sex thing.

>talking about dnd as if it's one rules system

I'd rather give a dog character 6 small unsexualised tits then 2 huge fucking honkers that have no reason to be there other than cus its someones fetish.

The game is based on Luke Crane's Burning Wheel and is simplified and tailored to fit the world. It's more complex than Torchbearer but less so than BW, and is focused on character beliefs, instincts, and so on and challenging those. So you're not just rolling d20s to kill snakes as mice instead of trolls as humans, you have mechanized character development and how your adventures affect your character is at the forefront.

I think Pugmire is supposed to be releasing sometime soon. It's an RPG about playing as sentient dogs in a post apocalyptic world where humanity is long gone.

Protip: most of the cartoons and drawings from your perceived "good old days" of anthropomorphic animals had just as many furries. Hell, most of the artists themselves drew smut of their characters. You only know of the modern levels of deviancy because you spend your entire lives on the internet, where that shit is more transparent if you're deliberately looking for it. Nothing changed except you became more jaded and prone to bitching about how other people enjoy themselves.

Seems more like just bitching about the current state of things which is reasonable. I'm a flithy furfag and I'd love to play Mouse Guard or IronClaw, but god knows I don't want to play with someone that sits on furaffinity hours on end. Playing a furry system or setting with normal people is much harder because of the stigma against anything related to furries.

What's the pun?

>where that shit is more transparent if you're deliberately looking for it
Furshit practically clogs up any 2d porn site worth mentioning, whether you're looking for it or not. It's pretty unlikely for a modern internet-user to have escaped it to that extent unless they're sheltered or some 60 year old who cannot imagine that people might jerk it to drawings.

USA GI = usagi, the Japanese word for rabbit.

Do you think that St. George really slew a dragon?

Trick question. It's irrelevant, because people in the middle ages believed it, and people in Mouseguard believe in these stories too.
