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.
eddyfate
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.
EdgeGod
+1 for dogg dnd

If you have more questions, swing by the Kickstarter and ask! And HUGE thanks to Malcomfox for posting this!
Malcomfox
You bet! I'm really excited for this game! It's one I can really see playing well with my kids.
eddyfate
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.

There's another animal based RPG (no longer in print) called Iron Claw.

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
afakeregillatabanlakozo
There's one called Mouse Guard, where you actually play with mice.
beesore
I'd play that, but what actually makes it different from a custom campaign
Malcomfox
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 it's anything like mice & mystics it should be good
xDankZappa
I like the "be a good dog" picture.
MrPorcupine
Reminds me of mice and mystics

And made by the fine folks at Onyx Path Publishing (which were mostly pre-CCP employees of White Wolf Publishing).

this comment deserves more points.

The Kickstarter link I put in the description.

Damn I scrolled too fast lol thanks for being kind

@eddyfate my Thing 1 would love "Monarchies of Mau"
CanYouFeckinNot
This reminds me of Mouse Guard! Man there are so many amazing RPGs out there other than D&D
Malcomfox
While that is true - this one uses D&D 5e rules... so...
CanYouFeckinNot
There truly is a god. I must play it right now!
Earan

peregrineza
Mouse Guard was one of the inspirations for this.

If you've never actually played D&D how hard would it be to get the hang of this?
idislikecomingupwithuniqueusernames
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.
MrtheOffender
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
SamuraiMujuru
It's actually not too bad. The writers of this do a great job assuming no prior familiarity.
CanadianThemedName
5e has a starter kit that comes with everything you need to start a campaign (complete with the booklet for the campaign and characters)
DrSStrange
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
Malcomfox
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.
HavelTh3Rock
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/?)
Malcomfox
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.
HavelTh3Rock
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)
BrumpoTungus
Roll20.net. You can look for groups an play online on a simulated tabletop. The automated character sheets are quite helpful for new players
HavelTh3Rock
thank 'ya.
TheRelevancyOfMyNameIsRelativelyIrrelevant
It would pretty difficult to grasp if your new to the game, and have paws.
looker42
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.
acowinthecrowd
Don't forget the artwork
AveryB
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.
thethirdeye
I agree although balancing races might be difficult for the novice.
MrtheOffender
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
MrtheOffender
characters for your players. the more they get to pick the more work, and usually the more fun everyone has.
Malcomfox
You could, but the actual implementation of the "classes" and "breeds/races" are actually quite different in this game.
Cynistera
Do you have Keeshonds and Shelties?
Malcomfox
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
Malcomfox
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.
Malcomfox
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...
Malcomfox
But this still looks fun to me.
Saramme
I think the reason you're being downvoted is because furry stuff is not necessarily sexual. Generally any anthropomorphic animal that (1)
Saramme
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~
expatriateArt
In the same way that anime and HBO are inherently sexual. Imagine if you really liked Game of Thrones and most people (1)
expatriateArt
(2) assumed you jerked off to rape scenes. That's sorta what it's like to be a furry.
shwoopdapoop
That is surprisingly accurate.
yournewpoodleoverlord
it's means its got animals with human characteristics. That's the definition of furry - people just use that theme in different ways.
MessiahOfRats
That's simply anthropomorphism. I consider furries more of someone who has an identity with them.
yournewpoodleoverlord
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
expatriateArt
An anthro character is a furry. Members of the fandom for such characters are also furries. Not ideal linguistically, but it's English.
MessiahOfRats
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.
