The best furry game I ever played was TMNT & Other Strangeness, where we threw out the rules and just ran it with Wushu. One of my players rolled up a polar bear who wore Hawaiian shirts, smoked cigars, and wielded a gattling gun. Even for a one-shot, it was epic.

Mormon Star Wars posted:St. Christopher is the dog man, you heathen "This Byzantine depiction of St. Christopher as dog-headed resulted from their misinterpretation of the Latin term Cananeus to read canineus, that is, "canine."" This is wonderful.

gradenko_2000 posted:It's not locked, I think people just got burnt out on it. I learned a bunch about D&D history and game design concepts after reading through all of it over the last 2 weeks. I've since grown a healthy disdain for "skills" when you already have attributes (at most, I would prefer a "background" for people to justify throwing in +1s and +2s per, 13A-style) and a healthy appreciation for how the temporal mechanics of old-school D&D interacted with everything else. Wait wait wait. I thought "death to ability scores" was part of our D&DDogma. What is this "death to skills" heresy?

Like Dungeon World and Apocalypse World both technically have ability scores, but they don't also try and force weird and arbitrary skill systems on you. Pbta owns, gently caress all haters.

If you think about it, an "ability score" is just a collection of somewhat related skills. Strength, for instance, covers lifting with your legs and generating power from your hips.

packetmantis posted:Wait, I want to hear more about the dog saint. Guinefort was a Knight's dog, and he left her guarding his baby while he went hunting because either that's how things were done at the time or he was a really bad parent. When he got home, the baby was nowhere to be found and Guinefort had blood on her face, so he chopped the dog's head off, as you do. Then he found the baby in a corner, alive and healthy, next to a mangled dead snake Guinefort had killed. So his family buried the dog (in a well?), raised a shrine to her, and Guinefort eventually became the saint of protecting babies or something like that. Later on, some people got together and sacrificed babies to her for whatever loving reason things like that happen. Elector_Nerdlingen fucked around with this message at 09:41 on Sep 30, 2014 |

Guinefort was a French greyhound, and while locally declared a saint and martyr, was never recognized by the Church. Despite that, she retained devotees until the 1920s or so.

I said I'd do this if Mors Rattus ever finished Xanth, and now here we are.

But then we miss some of the ludicrous poo poo people forget about between that and the chicken. Next post already contains one of the most batshit strawmanny things in the entire series.

Man, whenever people mention the Sword of Truth I always think of the other Young Adult Fantasy Series written by a guy named Terry with a Sword of Truth as one of the central plot elements. Since I never hear these books mentioned along with the likes of Xanth and other such novels, does that mean that my preferred generic TolkeinesqueJunior High fantasy wasn't mindbogglingly offensive and weird in retrospect, because I'm always afraid to look back and acknowledge that I was into some pretty hosed up poo poo. Well, ignoring the fact that my other favorite author in junior high was Mercedes Lackey, of course.
