How to Make A Literal Cat in Your Favorite RPG

Joel Holland & Avalon Erwin

We hope you"re not here to learn character creation in new roleplaying systems, because here, we"re all about breaking rules to adapt the character creator to let us play as a basic, run-of-the-mill cat. We accept no cop-outs, we don"t acknowledge Homebrew materials, and we... very rarely come close to a pure and simple feline, but we do have fun along the way! Join us every other Wednesday to see what RPG we try to learn next! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

2024/04/17

Magonomia by Shewstone Publishing is a Fate-based RPG of wizards in Renaissance-era Europe. The spells and skills included in the game are inspired by the actual notes and teachings of real scientists and charlatans of the era. We are kinda bastardizing this by saying a cat also did Alchemy in that setting, but in our defense, it was for the bit.

In Mongoose Publishing's Paranoia, The Computer is all-knowing and decides all. It totally never makes any mistakes, and it'd be treasonous to imply otherwise. So Trust our guest, Bees, when she tells you that the character we made this week is in no way a Computer error! And remember, it'd be treasonous to imply otherwise. Warning: Listening to this episode DOES constitute treason for anyone who's actually intending to play Paranoia in the future. You have been warned.Bees does not wish to be

See Issue X is a superhero RPG whose unique claim to fame is that it has you develop a character using the exact same gameplay mechanics you'd use to complete every other story arc!

Wanderhome by Possum Creek Games is the story of a journey, and the people you meet along the way. For instance, Mickey Mouse is making a journey into the public domain, and now instead of being an anthropomorphic mouse, he's an adolescent Literal Cat, in a world full of anthropomorphic animals. It'll be quite the journey for our naive young friend. Who will Micholas M. Mouse (the cat) meet along the way? Follow the show online: https://literalcatpod.start.page/Follow Joel Holland:

Beam Saber is a Forged in the Dark system that lets you live out your mecha anime fantasies, if you're into that kind of thing. If you need a fresh idea for a character, why not consider playing as Cedric, the mildly psychic cat who operates his mech via telepathic connection? NOTE: This episode does not constitute an endorsement of CAT's actions in Gaza on behalf of Israel. We here at the Literal Cat Podcast would strongly prefer a free Palestine.

Unfortunately, Austin couldn't be here this week. Filling in for him is Greg Carrobis of Ghosts on a Train/Faustian Nonsense fame. Greg came to me with Dogs in the Vineyard for two reasons: One, it was one of his first and most formative TTRPGs. Two, it would be funny to make a literal cat in a TTRPG called "Dogs." He was right, it is pretty funny to do that. Community-made character sheets by Reddit user lukehawksbee:

Fellowship is a Lord of the Rings inspired fantasy adventure that puts a significant amount of worldbuilding power in the players' hands at the point of character creation. Cucumber Pip is your party's squire, he's a cat, the horses listen to him, and he's probably not the best at carrying your gear. But that's what the horses are for, right?

Vampire: The Masquerade, currently published by Renegade Games at the time of this episode's release, is one of those systems that was bound to pop up eventually, and here it is. It's one we worried about doing alone, but luckily Meghan Murphy of $2 Creature Feature was here to help! In all honesty, though, I think Brother Billy the Vampire Cat was inside all of us, all along, and this was merely the vessel he used to be written into the world. Follow Meghan Murphy:
