Now, a parody RPG that purports to be FATAL-like in setting and absurdity while having light and entertaining rules (and not being written by dull edgelords), that would be funny. Gonna have to up the grimdarkness a bit, and maaybe let's go with the random stat rolling.

Roll 1d12 for your height, in feet. Roll 5d100 for your weight, in pounds.

Add in a quick to roll but absurd die system for combat (roll a number of d6s equal to your attack skill; the enemy rolls a number equal to their defense. Sum the top three dice and that's your score, whoever has more wins the attack and scores a hit, which does something gory and spectacular on the Spectacular Gore table....)

Blergh, I'm used to thinking of Find Steed as a spell that Paladins get at level five and I'm tired so I got a bit muddled there.

Annoying thing is that it's a mix up I keep correcting my brother on.

You know FATAL's setting was terrible, right? Not even funny terrible, just chock-full of rape and racism from end to end.

[PTTG??]

Well, yeah. It wouldn't be the FATAL setting, it'd be a parody of grimdark settings, from Warhammer to Warhammer 40k, and FATAL included. Maybe something like Korgoth of Barbaria style.

[Sirus]

Please don't include Warhammer or Warhammer 40k in the same category as FATAL.

[Egan_BW]

Please do, it's funny~

While preparing for the first session of my weird rpg group, I realized the following. The first supplement for Shard came out recently. It adds this:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The PCs are going to meet Crazy Hassan. I don't know where we're going to go from there but I've got to do it.

Though this does have the potential to be a bit dark. Hassan is a used camel salesman. In an anthro world, I guess that means he's going to be a slaver.

Are all animals anthropomorphic, or is it a Pluto-goofy situation?
Anyway, if it is slavery, the "used" part scares me.

In order to get around the whole "what does the anthro gazelle think when anthro lion is chowing down on animal gazelle" thing, all birds, mammals, and reptiles/amphibians are anthro. Everything either eats plants, fish, or cow-sized bugs. By the way, the cow-sized bugs can be milked. How does anatomy work? Seems like everything has mammaries.

And agreed on the last point. It might be too dark for this lighthearted romp through anthro-world.

IIRC in the real world there's a species of ants that will wrangle aphids into the colony and "milk" them for food.

Why is it that when all animals is Anthropamorphic, anyone who does not want to deal with carnivore's morals act as if fish are the only non-sentient? Are we all fishist?

[Mephisto]

It's technically a SF game with fantasy trappings. All of the anthro animals originated from this human ship where they were uplifted. Apparently they uplifted one or more of every mammal/bird/reptile/amphibian in existence but didn't do any other creatures.

Bad people come by in their warships because they're threatened by uplifts. They fire at the good guys, who activate their technobabble FTL drive to escape. Shenanigans happen, humans are gone, and we're left with anthro animals on a fantastical shattered world inhabited by bugs and plants.

Ninja post-edit thing - this isn't aphid shit water. They make cheese out of it, I'm pretty sure.

Probably some kind of cultural hangover from religions that distinguish between fish and other meats.

Don't even need to get that complicated about it. Its just easier to anthropomorphize something that actually has legs and doesn't need gills to breathe. And that way you don't have to deal with questions like "How do the fish communicate with the non-aquatic creatures?"

[MrRoboto75]

but fish can roll
