Pugmire is a Tabletop RPG where you play... Dogs

Basically the premise is kinda like Planet of the Apes, but with Dogs instead. Mankind has vanished dogs now walk the earth worship mankind as lost gods

I'm crazy excited about it and I think you guys might get a kick out of it.

the game is played using D&D 5e rules with some major alterations and you can get the preview if you back the project on Kickstarter

There's even a culture written for the dogs

for instance: when a dog meets another dog, they shake paws like man once did. They may sniff paws but sniffing butts is seen as feral and disgusting.

Another cultural thing that's awesome: instead of saying "god" they say "man" as in "Are we going to storm the castle?" "You're man-damn right we are!"

The worshipers of man and the magic users

Like I said this uses D&D 5e so some of the classic spells are there, though some of them are changed Magehand is now called Magepaw. the spell "Command" has options like "sit" "stay" and "lay down". There's a lot more and you should see it!

My favorite part is the "code of man"
1. Be a Good Dog
2. Obey the Master
3. Bite only those who endanger you
4. Protect your Home
5. Be loyal to those that are true
6. Protect all from the unseen
7. Fetch what has been left behind.

(Also if you back for the physical copy you get to name your dog in the back of the book as a good dog)

Kicked in on the kickstarter. The writing of this game is goddamned hysterical.

1) It's a simplified version of D&D rules, meant to emphasize cooperation and action. Playtesters who never played D&D got it fast.

3) This is the start of a whole world, so we're already looking into doing spin-off products like fiction, audio drama, card games, etc.

You bet! I'm really excited for this game! It's one I can really see playing well with my kids.

2) We're focusing on dogs, but I'm hoping if the KS does well to work on the start of a compatible game called "Monarchies of Mau" for cats.

Hi! I'm Eddy Webb, the creator of Pugmire. Thought I'd wade in and answer a few quick questions, although there's more information at the KS

There's one called Mouse Guard, where you actually play with mice.

I'd play that, but what actually makes it different from a custom campaign

If you back the project, you can get the quick start rules. Cancel your pledge - keep the rules. Races and classes are wildly different

If you've never actually played D&D how hard would it be to get the hang of this?

10 years ago | Likes 19 Dislikes 0

Largely depends on your DM. If you know someone energetic and creative who's good at creating stories it probably wouldn't be too hard.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

depends on your GM but 5e is the base and it's one of the easier systems i've GMed. Only easier system to learn to play is FFG's Star Wars

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It's actually not too bad. The writers of this do a great job assuming no prior familiarity.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

5e has a starter kit that comes with everything you need to start a campaign (complete with the booklet for the campaign and characters)

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Actually it would be quite difficult if you don't have someone who's played before to DM. I'd recommend picking up the books first otherwise

10 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

It's definitely not impossible to grasp. The only thing that's "hard" IMO is story building and refereeing. The rules are easy to pick up.

Any tips for someone who doesn't even know how to make a character? I've really been looking to get into DnD, but (1/?)

Send me a PM and I can do my best to help. I am a seasoned DM/GM and know what I'm talking about.

I don't have access, for the most part, to anyone that knows how to play, or can teach me. pls, wat do (2/2)

Roll20.net. You can look for groups an play online on a simulated tabletop. The automated character sheets are quite helpful for new players

It would pretty difficult to grasp if your new to the game, and have paws.

I feel like you you could just kind of do this in D&D without much effort on your own if you felt like it.

One of the players in the group I DM for is a Fey Corgi, a homebrew race that is basically this minus some of the lore.

10 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

I agree although balancing races might be difficult for the novice.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

As a long time DM, you could do this. but there would be at MINIMUM 12 hours of work to sort the whole thing out unless you made the 1/2

characters for your players. the more they get to pick the more work, and usually the more fun everyone has.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

You could, but the actual implementation of the "classes" and "breeds/races" are actually quite different in this game.

10 years ago | Likes 63 Dislikes 0

Do you have Keeshonds and Shelties?

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

The way the breeds work is in major groups - so you have like "herders", and within that group are corgi's, ausies, borders, and collies

10 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

so whatever a keeshond or sheltie is, you can make that dog as a character. Literally any dog can be made - there's even a Mutt breed

For a site that hates furries so much it's amazing how often furries get on the front page.

Is this even furry though? like isn't furry stuff sexual by nature? This isn't sexual at all. I couldn't care less about furry shit...

10 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 11

But this still looks fun to me.

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 2

I think the reason you're being downvoted is because furry stuff is not necessarily sexual. Generally any anthropomorphic animal that (1)

10 years ago | Likes 16 Dislikes 0

has fur and some human-like features. I'm a furry but I'm not at all into it sexually. I just think it's fucking adorable~

10 years ago | Likes 15 Dislikes 0

In the same way that anime and HBO are inherently sexual. Imagine if you really liked Game of Thrones and most people (1)

(2) assumed you jerked off to rape scenes. That's sorta what it's like to be a furry.

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

That is surprisingly accurate.

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

it's means its got animals with human characteristics. That's the definition of furry - people just use that theme in different ways.

10 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

That's simply anthropomorphism. I consider furries more of someone who has an identity with them.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

eh, that depends too. A furry can just be a fan of it. Though many identify with it too, not everyone even has a fursona

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

An anthro character is a furry. Members of the fandom for such characters are also furries. Not ideal linguistically, but it's English.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I myself do like anthro characters, but I don't consider myself furry. Same way I enjoy knights, robots, etc, and I don't call myself after.
