Here's another furry attempt to get their wackiness off of Telnet and onto the tabletop:

I don't play tabletop RPGs, so much of this goes over my head. Apparently it's an extension to the Pathfinder system or whatever. Just read the review, it's the best part. Here's a snippet:

...Fursona is a game that is very much 'By Furries, For Furries.' The very writing style and content of the book help perpetuate the sexual stereotypes of the furry fandom, but it also has enough rules to help a Dungeon Master out if they have a character that absolutely must play a bipedal nine-tail fox. Get it if you need it, avoid it if you don't. But if you do pick it up, be warned that you'll have to sift through the less desirable options built for the less desirable crowd in order to get the best out of your purchase.

Unless you're someone who must play as yourself in the pathfinder world 'tragically' stuck in the body of a nine-tailed fox who gains sexual-based diplomacy bonuses. In that case have at it; just please don't ever play at my table.
Zeriara is part of a series on Whores.

...Finally there are the templates. Ranging from such logical things as a 'Queen Insect' or 'Feral Anthro' to mind-boggling choices like 'VG Sprite' and 'Earthborn.' That's right, you can play as yourself forced into a furry body, and one of the defining features is that you have 21st century knowledge in Pathfinder times. What was the author thinking!? That's something to be avoided, not encouraged!
wow, just wow. It never occurred to the game designer that that was a bad idea.

I guess Iornclaw didn't give enough yiffy power options for the Furry Tabletop RPer

Woah. When you think of a full group playing by a book like that, it's literally a rule set for circle-jerking. If you gather every week with a bunch of friends to all play your sexual fetishes with dice, finding the right rules is the least of your problems.
