Myriad Quest

Kickstarter ending 3/5/14

This is a little more quick-and-dirty than my usual posts, with apologies to a great company, but I wanted to give a shoutout before their Kickstarter ended.

Furry tabletop gamers might be familiar with Sanguine Games. In fact, they might be familiar with it and not know it. SG is the company that publishes Ironclaw, one of the only furry tabletop RPG games to gain any long-term traction in game stores–Albedo would be the only other one I could think of, and while not the original publisher–that honor belongs to defunct “Thoughts & Images” and later Chessex Games–they have released Albedo: Platinum Catalyst, a more recent RPG based on the original comic. It doesn’t seem to be in print, but it’s good to see the intellectual property surviving!

Sanguine’s sci-fi title launched through Kickstarter last year: the atmospheric “New Wave” sci-fi game, Myriad Song. To paraphrase, Myriad Song is a little bit sci-fi, a little bit rock and roll, inspired by 80s classics like Heavy Metal, Dune, and more recent heavily stylized movies like “Fifth Element” and a host of prog rock album covers. In short, it’s probably less important to be factually accurate with the science in Myriad Song as to have the right soundtrack playing.

Now on Kickstarter, Sanguine is back for round two (fight!) with Myriad Quest, a graphic novel from the MS  universe. the book follows two adventurers winging their space prog  (it’s like space opera, but prog rock instead of opera. No, this is not a real term, I made it up) journey across Myriad Song.

The artist is Matt Howarth, whose history with the fandom intersects in several places–he’s been an on-again-off-again artist on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and his Konny & Czu were recurring characters in the Albedo furry comic anthology series. He also worked pretty heavily on Myriad Song, and his intro comic “Golden Chord” can be read on the Myriad Quest kickstarter updates.

The graphic novel project is worth a look around for fans of edgy and underground graphic novels and indie comix. Is it furry? Not really, there’s some overlap around the edges, and some more in the pledge points (particularly if you’re an Albedo fan).

However, I’m a tabletop gamer, have been for well over 25 years now, and Sanguine Games’s projects have brought lots of my furry friends into pencil-and-paper gaming, which is amazing in our video-game focused, high-energy fandom. For their huge contribution to that narrow little wedge on the Venn Diagram of fandoms that is furry tabletop gaming, I encourage y’all to take a look at this one. I got back from Furry Fiesta recently to learn that Sanguine will be taking something of a center stage next year, so I’m super excited to see what they bring to the conversation in 2015.

 

Why do furrys say mate instead of boyfriend or girlfriend? Its cute, but sometimes annoying...

Hey I know this might seem a little random so I apologize if it is, but does anyone know where the best place is to meet a shark? I've been wanting to meet one for a while because I've heard they are all usually really fun to talk to but no matter where I go I can't seem to find one. If you know one, are one, or know the best place to find one let me know haha. And if anyone just wants to chat or rp too im down haha. Heres a ref if you wanted one: http://24.media.tumblr.com/7013d37ce6ef300dca5cb296da71812d/tumblr_n1erop1QT61tr6962o1_500.png

So I'm looking into getting my ref. sheet done now that I actually have a little bit of spending money, but I'm wondering which artist would be the best price for a first-time ref sheet.

Thank you guys and gals!

Hey there /r/furry, I am looking for three characters to draw to help develop my art portfolio and I would love to have your character as a reference for future commissions. I prefer people who would like some NSFW art for anatomy practice, hence the tag.

I will pick three or so people whose characters I would like to draw. I would love references and links to your FA/Inkbunny/Weasyl as well so I can tag you.

I don't know how long it is going to take, hopefully not too long but part of this is figuring that out. I appreciate all of your help!

Author: rodney With all of the attention that Rocket Raccoon and his fellow Guardians of the Galaxy have been getting, some attention has also begun to shine on a nearly forgotten name: Bill Mantlo. Back in 1976, Bill teamed up with Keith Giffen to introduce the original Rocket Raccoon in the pages of Marvel Preview […]

Ren says some things about stuff with words. If you care about the stupid silly (Wrong wording.) drama, this might clear a few things up.

For simplicity's sake, I've organized the two sides of the sequence into a table in a post

Dear Papa Bear, 

Thank you so much for answering my last question about Daisy. I hope that you can answer this one as well.

Daisy and I haven't been communicating much lately and it breaks my heart. She keeps ignoring my (and all of my other friends') texts and I have no idea why. I always text her and she never replies, but it says when she reads it. She means so much to me and I miss her more than anything.... I can't imagine the day I won't. We talked like every day until she started to fit in at school and meet her new friends.... I am very happy for her about that, but why is she forgetting about me? We don't even talk anymore and I don't know what to do about it. She has been my best friend for 8 years and she moved not long ago ... I hope she hasn't forgotten about me. I still think about her everyday and sometimes I get sad just thinking about her. I miss her so much. I don't have many friends here ... some good friends with about 2 best friends. So it's kind of hard for me. I really need to talk to Daisy and catch up on things, but it doesn't seem like she's all that interested in me anymore.

CJ (age 14)

Dear CJ,

In our first correspondence I talked about the different kinds of friends we make in life and how I thought you and Daisy would be BFFs, even if you no longer lived close by.

This letter, however, sounds like there was only one BFF between the two of you, and that was you. It sounds like Daisy is moving on, making new friends, and leaving her old ones behind, rather than making the effort to stay in touch.

You’re instincts are, sadly, likely correct. If she isn’t talking to you, she is probably losing interest. Papabear can’t judge her character, having never talked with her or met her, so there might be something else going on here. Pick up the telephone and give her a call and find out what’s up with her life. If she is not going through some personal tragedy or hardship that is preventing her from talking to you (although one would hope she’d want to talk to her BFF in such a case), then it is likely that she isn’t talking to you because she has simply moved on.

In my last letter to you, I said that learning to cope with separation was part of growing up. So is learning what it means to lose a friend. This will happen more than once in your life, and just as you will lose friends, you will make new ones. It is very rare that you will find that one friend who will stick by your side all your life. I thought, as you did, that Daisy was one of those, but perhaps not. On the other hand, maybe she is corresponding less with you because she believes that keeping the friendship alive when you can’t see each other regularly would be too painful. If that’s the case, then you need to show her that you can make this long-distance friendship work. [Note to readers: you might observe a difference here between my advice about LDRs when it comes to lovers vs. friends; I believe that long-distance friendships are possible because they don't require physical intimacy, whereas long-distance romance does require that close proximity in my opinion.]

Remember, this is a reflection upon Daisy’s character, not yours. You sound like a loyal and caring friend, a true friend. I hope you can still work it out. You’ll need to make an effort to talk to her again—a solid, heart-to-heart talk—and find out just what she wants. For the friendship to work, you both have to want it, and if she doesn’t there is nothing you can do about that but bid her farewell.

Hugs,

Papabear

So, as you may know from my username, I am a fox. A fluffy white arctic fox. Thing is though, I don't know if I even want a fox on it's own.

I'm thinking about Hybridizing with a German Shepherd. Or have two characters on their own. I can either have an Arctic Fox character, and a German Shepherd character, or Hybridize and go with something completely unique and off the roll, like a "Arctic Foxshep" or a "German Foxshep of the Arctic Variety" (thanks Modo). The thing is, I don't even know what to pick and do.

I guess this has happened to all of us, especially as I have talked to it with others furs - One used to be a Marlamute before changing over to a Dalmatian - another fur has changed from an Arctic Fox to a Arctic Foxhawk.

Damn. I don't know what to do. Help me out guys!
