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.

2023/08/23

Nick Duff's This World Summons Too Many Heroes!! is the story of a fantasy realm where, for some bizarre reason, the Goddess just keeps making more and more summoning scrolls. It's like, a serious problem. Like, a group of catgirl demons just randomly called forth a cat from our world and started worshipping it, just because they could. By the way, that cat's name is Tiberius, and he is the focus of our episode today. Follow the show online: https://literalcatpod.start.page/Follow Joel Holland:

2023/08/09

Over Arms is a TTRPG by Rookie Jet Studio made to emulate anime series like Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and other series you don't care about as much. We thought it'd be funny to make a cat in this who was as close to invincible as we were allowed to get it, the trade-off being that he's a wimpy idiot. But that doesn't stop him from using his Anima to sabotage corporate land development projects! Follow the show online: https://literalcatpod.start.page/Follow Joel Holland:

OVA is a generic Anime-inspired RPG system from Wise Turtle Games, and a personal favorite of Nye from $2 Creature Feature. Thanks to his help, we made it through this extensive point-buy character creation system unscathed and made it out with Tortellini, the cat that loves appearing in selfies and giving high fives around the market district.

How to Make A Literal Cat in Your Favorite RPG ·

2023/07/12

Voidheart Symphony is a game by UFO Press which draws heavy inspiration from the Persona video game series. It may not have kept the anime aesthetic, but we felt it belonged. Our cat's been in the void since it made contact with reality, and while there, he's become distorted beyond recognition. Almost. You could probably figure out he's a cat, still. BUT IT'S NOT A MORGANA SITUATION!Follow the show online: https://literalcatpod.start.page/Follow Joel Holland: https://jholland.start.page/Follow

PokeRole is a fan-made Pokemon-themed RPG made to mimic the style of the Pokemon anime. Quinn Schulte of Dungeons and Dragon-Types has come to us to help us through the first month of Anime Summer Season by helping us make Lawnmower, a tired office pet from our world who survived an incident with a lawnmower as a kitten only to be run over by a truck one day. But Arceus had other plans for this cat, sending her to the world of Pokemon with one goal: Be the very best, like no one ever was.Follow

Because Austin and I are hoping to create more projects together than just this podcast, and also work with more people on them (hopefully), we've begun work on building Badger Trove, built on the observation that when people team up, they tend to be able to make more of what they want to make with fewer compromises, and that idea is appealing to us!

Masks: A New Generation, written by Brendan Conway and published by Magpie Games, is a game about young superheroes with big feelings to work through. Our cat this episode is the overly muscular super genius with the power of Telepathy who trained under the great hero, Psychic Boom, but has always believed his talents would be better suited for science and research than crime fighting.

#iHunt is a TTRPG about killing monsters in the gig economy. Download the app and accept jobs like you would an Uber or something. Our cat this time is the one and only cat to lose a lawsuit who now owes untold amounts in damages and legal fees. Her job as a paralegal was insufficient, so she took her boss's phone and accepted a job on iHunt. The rest is history.

Demigods is a fresh new RPG about playing as the half-mortal children of Gods in the modern world by Jason Mills. After coming dangerously close to a Puss in Boots type deal, we ended the episode with Penzey, the child of a Hindu Goddess who is going through her rebellious phase at the mature age of... 1 year old.

Well, specifically, Marvel Multiverse, the upcoming Marvel Comics-Branded TTRPG. And because of the kind of show it is, specifically how to play as a cat in the game. And because of who we are, we gave the cat a sword and let it mug people. Fillable Excel Character sheet by Reddit User Bukanir:

Relics is a game about Angels, first and foremost, therefore we had to start the process off deciding whether a cat that died, went to heaven, and then came back to earth counted as a Literal Cat, still. Once we got that out of the way, we were able to establish that this cat went to Ancient Egypt and introduced the myth of Bast so that humans would take care of cats.
