  • I’ve got my doubts. Body sculpting, explicitly including sculpting to look “animal like” existed even back in Cyberpunk 2020, which was released in 1988.

    Furries were around before that of course, but the first furry convention wasn’t until 1989, and furries didn’t really reach mainstream awareness enough that uninvolved people started to think hating on them was cool until even later than that.

    I don’t doubt someone involved in Cyberpunk Red took some enjoyment in making someone who dislikes furries uncomfortable, but I’d be VERY surprised if that’s why they were included back in 1988.


  • I just submitted my responses. Can’t wait to see the results!

    I’ve been GMing now across 40 years or so, and my GM style these days is very different to when I started. These days, I’m much more a “fly by the seat of my pants” GM, with all of us building a story together. I see my role as bringing unexpected elements in to the story we’re building, so that the players themselves have a dynamic environment to build their characters against, rather than it just being collaborative storytelling.

    I use dice for a similar reason. They allow for the unexpected and for unpredictable outcomes. They mean that the players themselves feel uncertainty when making choices for their characters.

    Do you spend more time on encounter prep, or art prep?

    That’s my secret. I never prepare

    In all seriousness, there’s a couple of questions like that, asking which type of content I spend more prep time on, but I genuinely don’t spend time doing prep on anything, which makes it hard to answer those question. I voted in the middle, but it won’t distinguish my answer from someone who does prep, but spreads their time equally.











  • I don’t know… The whole “We’re so special” part of sorcs always felt like over compensating to me. People who don’t have innate magic can cast a wider variety of stuff than they ever can. The person who learned it from the ground up, instead of just inheriting it, can do anything they want with it, unlike a sorc.
