Trans made TTRPGs

Due to… recent events that I would rather not talk about, today's post is a highlight of different tabletop games made by trans peeps! These games are fantastic in their own right, of course, but you can also know that they were made by incredibly cool and attractive people

(Also, these are flyover descs of the game, they'll get more in-depth singular posts later, this is because I am lazy)

Perfect Draw is a phenomenal card game TTRPG that was funded in less than a day on backerkit, it's incredibly fun and has simple to learn hard to master rules for creating custom cards, go check it out!

Songs for the dusk is fucking good, pardon my language, but it's a damn good post apocalyptic game about building community in a post-capitalist-post-apocalypse-post-whatever world. do yourself a favor and if you only check out one game in this list, check this one out, its a beautiful game.

Flying Circus is set in a WW1 inspired fantasy setting full of witches, weird eldritch fish people (who are chill as hell), cults, dead nobility, and other such things. It's inspired by Porco Rosso primarily but it has other touchstones.

Wanderhome is a game about being cute little guys going on a silly adventure and growing as the seasons change, its GMless and very fun

https://weregazelle.itch.io/armour-astir Armour Astir has been featured in here before but its so damn good I had to post it twice. AA demonstrates a fundamental knowledge of the themes of mech shows in a way that very few other games show, its awesome

Kitchen Knightmares is… more of a LARP but its still really dang cool, its about being a knight serving people in a restaurant, its played using discord so its incredibly accessible

https://grimogre.itch.io/michtim Michtim is a game about being small critters protecting their forest from nasty people who wish to harm it, not via brutal violence (sadly) but via friendship and understanding (which is a good substitute to violence)

ok this technically doesn't count but I'm putting it here anyways cuz its like one of my favorite ttrpgs of all time TSL is a game about baring your heart and dueling away with people who you'll probably kiss 10 minutes later, its very very fanfic-ey and inspired by queer narratives. I put it here because its made by a team, and the expansion has a setting specifically meant to be a trans "allegory", so I'll say it counts, honestly just go check it out its good shit

https://willuhl.itch.io/mystic-lilies

Mystic Lillies is a game inspired by ZUN's Touhou Project about witches dueling powerful foes, each other, and themselves. Mystic Lillies features rapid character creation and a unique diceless form of rolling which instead uses a standard playing card deck.

https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/141424/nobilis-the-game-of-sovereign-powers-2002-edition I… want to do a more general overview on Jenna K as an important figure in indie RPG design, but for now just know that Nobilis is good

https://temporalhiccup.itch.io/apocalypse-keys Apocalypse Keys is a game inspired by Doom Patrol, Hellboy, X-men, and other comics about monstrousness being an allegory for disenfranchisement. Apocalypse Keys is also here because its published by Evilhat so its very cleaned up and fancy but I love how the second you check out the dev's other stuff you can tell they are a lot more experimental with their stuff, this is not a critique, it is in fact a compliment

Fellowship! I've posted about this game before, but it is again here. Fellowship has a fun concept that it uses very well mostly, its a game about defining your character's culture, and I think that's really really cool

Voidheart Symphony is a really cool game about psychic rebellion in a city that really does not like you, the more you discover for yourself the better

Panic at the Dojo is a phenomenal ttrpg based on what the Brazilian would call "Pancadaria", which basically means, fucking other's people shit up. Character Creation is incredibly open and free, meaning that many character concepts are available

Legacy 2e is a game about controlling an entire faction's choices across time, its very fun

remember to be kind to a trans person today! oh also don't even try to be transphobic in the reblogs or replies, you will be blocked so fast your head will spin

my character for a campaign of michtim fluffy adventures ^_^ finally getting back into tabletop yaaaay

[haveyouplayedthisttrpg]

only just now realized that i have been getting Mouse Guard, Mausritter, and Michtim mixed up with each other at various points in time.

It happens, there's many mice games.

But they make for very different experiences

Some Felixus and Lumpi gifs I made! And a bigger reference of Felixus made by Leonard Schellauf 

Michtims are Hamsterpunk heroes fighting human corporations! Check out the tabletop roleplaying game here: http://pico.link/eisenfuchs 

Free Community Copies of the game are available for people who cannot afford to pay the full price. These are financed by generous donors who buy CCs on my kofi (link also above). There’s also a book version of the game!

I couldn’t resist drawing a hamster in Hamtaro style ;w;

[eisenfuchs]

fantastic

Every morning, Midge shares a cup of coffee with the world at large and then they leave each other alone for the rest of the day.

I drew a cutie. Lily got a new cloak so I had to design her with it (and finally draw her with her wand). I think I’ve also realized Lily is probably a Michtim who collects scarves... So expect her to be drawn with a different scarf every time. XD

[midgardia]

Our intrepid furry adventurers set out to make the BEST Bocicne in Michtim: The Baking Festival! We liked the system so much and had a BLAST so we’ll be running a small campaign with these kids whenever our main campaigns are on break due to missing players~

Grab Michtim to play with your friends on DriveThruRPG today!

Any suggestions for a small rodent TTRPG system or game? I remember you mentioning one along the lines of Redwall or similar, though I could be mistaken.

It really depends on a. how much crunch you're in the mood for, and b. exactly what sort of game you want to play.

If it's Redwall specifically you're looking to emulate, you might have a look at Mouse Guard. Based on the comic of the same name, it's a brutally down-to-Earth game about being a mouse with a sword in a world where literally everything a. is bigger than you, and b. wants to kill you. Lower player character mortality than you'd think, but you can expect to spend most of your time in various states of disrepair. Uses a simplified, entry-level version of the same system found in Torchbearer and The Burning Wheel.

(If the Burning Wheel system isn’t your speed, you might instead have a look at Mausritter, which is substantially similar in tone and general approach, right down to the fiddly slot-based inventory mechanics, but sports a core gameplay loop more similar to that of Dungeons & Dragons.)

On the flip side, if you'd prefer something more goofy, there's Michtim: Fluffy Adventures. This one casts the player characters in the roles of ambiguously hamster-like little critters, and features mechanics whereby all actions are powered by one’s current emotional state, to the extent that you roll Joy to jump and Fear to dodge attacks. Character creation and advancement revolves around an extensive class system with free multiclassing; given that one of the core classes is literally "cyborg", the latter has some fascinating worldbuilding implications!

If even that’s not fluffy enough, and what you’re in the mood for is nonviolent travelogue fantasy in the mode of the more pastoral portions of The Wind in the Willows (never mind the bit with the weasels), you could check out Wanderhome. It’s based on Avery Alder’s diceless Belonging Outside Belonging/No Dice, Mo Masters system, which mean there are very few rules governing what your character can do, but quite a lot of guidelines concerning how they ought to go about doing it.

(Note that unlike the other entries on this list, Wanderhome assumes the game is set in a world of smallish talking animal people, so there are no particular mechanics for the player characters being much smaller than everyone else, if that part is important to your premise.)

In the unlikely event that what you actually want is to run a game about mouse and rat rum runners in the Rodent Roaring 20s, funnily enough there’s a game for precisely that: Caro Asercion’s Squeakeasy. It’s a Blades in the Dark hack, but don’t let that intimidate you – the author managed to squeeze the Forged in the Dark system down to about three pages worth of rules – the game as a whole is four pages long.

Beyond that... well, pick a more specific premise and I’ll see if anything springs to mind. As I trust the preceding suggestions have illustrated, “small rodents” is far less narrow a brief than you may have assumed!

(Also, I have a game of my own in the works whose premise is basically “what if Samus Aran were secretly 3–5 space gerbils operating a human-shaped mech suit?”, with mechanics moderately inspired by Caro Asercion’s Dwindle. It’s nothing like ready for prime time – the roles and rules for complications definitely need a lot of work – but you can find links to the most recently published playtest discussion in my pinned post; at the time of this posting it’s filed under the working title of “Space Gerbils”, which may change in the future if and when I think of a proper title for it.)

State of the Nerd: December 2018

Alright time for the monthly State of the Nerd post!  Look, I am actually doing a second post about this topic wee! With it being the holiday season and the family issues on both my side and my wife’s side of the family (personal stuff, not effecting us directly, but we gotta help out) I am going to be even more busy then usual on top of my usual madness.  GOOD TIMES INDEED. So let’s dive right…

Play as An Animal RPGs

Okay, this is nowhere near done, I haven’t added all the links or found them all. But after this Twitter thread exploded, I decided to go ahead and post this. The thread was born of me doing web searches, trying to find out if playing a normal animal was even possible. The furry community would refer to such animals as Ferals. To most people, Anthro Animals are in line with Zootopia, not The Fox and the Hound. As a writer, mine fit into the second most.

I’m posting this, and tagging it as well as I can, because either I am terrible at web searches or the engines just like throwing back the basics. Hopefully, it’ll help others find options in TTRPGs if they didn’t know they existed.
