I agree but I still value to hear what WritesNaughtyStories has to say considering it affects the whole lores altogether AND it's interesting. I saw the 2nd thread. I'm just finishing up here. After this is done, I will not be continuing on this thread if that's your wish. It's just, it wouldn't make sense to switch this at the end, mid discussion, imo.

I've said it before: I want Prudence to have existed in our past and to have left her legacy of defending love in all its forms. With that comes the oppressive social and religious pressure that drove Prudence to condemn her lover. Beyond that, gunfighters in dusty streets, airships, and government agents in luxury train cars with odd, clockwork and steam-powered gadgets are welcome. I think it's worth talking about the First Nations, the US Army and what frontier forts look like and how they act on the world around them.

Let's move to the individual game threads and start building these two, separate worlds!

I saw that message and unlike what you think, I didn't ignore it. I just didn't know what to think of it. You'll have to forgive me because I have no idea what it means and it's probably another reason why I did not respond to it. I'm legit trying to be fair to everyone here and give everyone a fair chance to give me their opinions, working together. What I mean here is. What does hybridization and corrective surgery means in this regard? Truly trying to understand it and if it works in a way to please everyone, maybe it's a thing we can work with. I am curious to hear if it would help me find a character based on that (tags can help a l

Barring the notion that there was an industrial accident that created a horde of very unwelcome anthropomorphic animals, why not the Farmer idea that we suggested would specifically create the kemonomimi you initially mentioned. While I referenced Moreau, I said Avoids the hassle of the absolute horror at such a massive disaster. Creates a level of begrudging acceptance, especially in the frontier areas, and at least a bit of government protection. Isabella quoted it as well. But, I suspect, because it doesn't create a race of integrated, equal and accepted fur-folk, it isn't a solution.

Like I said earlier, those ideas were touchpoints, thematic suggestions for how I imagined the world to be. We're not copying Wells' Moreau verbatim, nor any of the referenced works specifically. Those were a vibe check, an idea of the kinds of things to expect in the world. Weird science gone awry, tampering with nature and the potential dire consequences thereof, humans struggling to bring order in the wilds... anyways, I don't know what that is. But from here, let's head to the individual threads to build out the two separate worlds. And by all means, if one world sounds better to you and you're not in it, we can swap p

I mean, the anthros wouldn't die from it but yeah, if they were treated but stuck as what they are, it would be fine. It seems the begged theme has to be pretty dark so what if the infected were captured, cured but kept prisoner or experimented on? As someone said, giving them a happy end might not be what's looked after here. If I had such a creature, I therefore would have to live the dark reality of my fate in this regard. Just throwing ideas, of course. And yeah, the steampunk part is pretty cool. I like the character I found earlier but in such a setting, I am not sure how the character would go from dealing with such an event and

the two big distinctions i intended for my version of this was that 1, it was cured/resolved fairly quickly on the contagious side of things and 2. was non lethal in the first place, im sure there would be an element of hostiles that would not like their existence, but i also dont think they would be kill on site, because well that would work for the wild west half of the premise, the technological steampunk side of the setting would play fairly nicely with that premise i believe ...i may be bias since my main portion of interest was in the steampunk portion and the specific time frame the comparison point was at

I am a little swamped with work this week, but once the weekend comes I'll edit this with my take. @IsabellaRose Thank you for all the work you have done with this.

Dream's idea was basically that people got transformed into beasts. How that would end would probably be realistically not well. Think "the plague". There's almost no way these people now furry monsters would not be hunted down and killed. EVEN if one survived, assuming the gritty vibes of the theme, they wouldn't become a class job. Still, there was something about animal ear/tail possible which I would not mind. I just don't want them to look like those moreau creatures with a face that only a mother can love. But if we assume that we had someone who had grown a tail or something, we probably have to assume that they wouldn't have a ve

This is for Group 2, consisting of @SataiRolePlayingGuy, @AsBloodTurnsEverCold, @Warning, and @DreamsnThings. We're still working from the basic setup premise as described in the original "Interest Check" thread: "My favorite game system is Cortex, or more specifically, the Cortex Drama system originally developed for the Smallville RPG, improved with suggestions in the Cortex Hacker's Guide, and then brought all together in the latest version of the system, Cortex Prime.

Yes, we are still talking, and nothing has been decided. That's why I was trying to clarify tone and intent. I had a vision for a game which I thought I outlined fairly well in my initial post. If the references were not familiar or seemed "ancient" then perhaps my idea is not something in which you'd be interested. I guess that's the part that confused me the most - why join a game if you don't even really understand the premise or themes involved? If you posted saying you were going to start a game based on Wild Arms, even if some of my friends were joining the game, I'd just pass it by since I don't know anything about Wild Arms.

Well as part of Group 2 I will admit that I do think it would be best to as close to the initial idea as possible personally. The character(s) I have in mind is with that in mind (or at least I think so). I don't think personally think the presence of Animal folk would be too much of a distraction as long as the origin and reaction is suitably mad science enough (which I did think Dream's origin fit well enough though maybe not the leading happy lives part and more isolated), but push comes to it I'd rather stick as close to what was proposed cause that's admittedly where my interest is.

decided im gonna renovate the club again into a dungeon raider type of group... since the ttrpg club is kinda, well this... the concept being pretty straight forward. people would make their own dungeon's with their own traps, puzzles, monsters, rewards, rules and so on and then other people would challenge to try and complete them with either the dungeon maker or someone not raiding the dungeon acting as a gm for it... players would start with standard stuff and then kind of build their way up over the course of completing dungeons and such

I am not TOTALLY ignorant of what you mean, though. And we're still in prep phase. Even if some seem to sound like the game is ruined before it even started, I do believe we're still talking about this and I'm also listening to what the group I was with says. Dream's idea seemed to work but then... not? I'm not sure what's going on that side. Besides, do I look like I'm trying to force something here? Let's be honest. I gave an example of a steampunk character before and asked if she was allowed or not but no clear answers was given except "It is not exactly what I envisioned." Dream seemed to be on board with some anthro or at least kem

It's not necessarily an issue. It's just that I had a general idea of what kind of game I wanted to run, which I put out there with tons of references to give everyone an idea of what I wanted to run and see who would be interested in specifically that type of game using the specified rule set. So you can see where I might be slightly confused when it starts to change away from that and into something entirely different. Like I said, I enjoy being collaborative. I like anthros; I'm building a game with someone else that's almost exclusively anthro player characters. It just wasn't my vision for this particular game. I imagined som

I agree with @IsabellaRose, this has drifted far from the idea that intrigued me. I came for a gritty vision of the expanding colony, the weight of technology and change as it runs against the untamed land. Where it feels we've ended up, there is no room for a nameless gunfighter to to walk into the street, spurs jingling, to face Dr. Loveless and his lightning gun to free the town from Loveless' cruel experiments. I tried to provide a framework to create the specific character morph @Warning was describing that would fit the style of story Isabella had set out, but it has been pointedly ignored. Twice. For the moment, I'll sit back

I'm not familiar with any of the references, I didn't even know it was a requirement. Just thought I'd join the fun and join some people I know. That said, I'm also not trying to ruin it for others either. I just like certain character types and try to see if they can fit in. So... Is that an issue?

To emphasise, I'm VERY into the 1880 aesthetic with wild/west steampunk feel. I'm also a bit of a Lovecraft nerd (a bit) and adventure, so I'm so in for an alternate industrial revolution and fringe society versus civilisation themed story. Apologies if I didn't answer the setting stuff but I absolutely am on board.
