How to Make A Literal Cat in Your Favorite RPG

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It took nearly a year of doing this show, but someone finally decided to tell us that there was an officially licensed Warrior Cats RPG. But as SOON as we were told, we knew what we had to do.

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!

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.

This pilot was done as a test episode/proof of concept back in late 2020 and published in January 2021 with the help of my friend, Zach. We recorded a D&D episode because D&D players are plentiful and now nobody can legally ever ask me where the D&D episode is because it's done and you're looking at it. Now we can focus on RPGs that are good without a mountain of homebrew and... homebrew a cat into them. Don't think about it too hard. Starting next episode, you'll hear me working with Austin Erwin, who heard this then agreed to be my co-host.

The rules for making the cat are as follows:

1. We accept no cop-outs. It is a cat, the exact animal that comes to mind when I say the word. Not an anthropomorphic race, not some person turned into a cat, not a lion, tiger, or any other cop-out you can imagine.
2. Homebrew isn't real. If the rules do not explicitly allow it to happen, it counts as a rule broken. If we come across a "Rules as Written vs Rules as Intended" situation, we go with whichever one says, "no."
3. If the game includes stats for a literal cat, those must be used or adapted to the game's character sheet.
4. The character class/background/playbook/job has to exist in the game's core rules or as part of an official expansion. We cannot use Homebrew classes, they do not exist.
5. The cat can learn any skill available to its class. We once had a cat that could seal away peoples’ superpowers because it worked for an organization that trained people to do that.
6. If a tool would be physically impossible for a literal cat to use, even if comically downsized for them, they cannot use it.
7. We Have to Keep Track of Every Rule we Break

My guest this episode is Zachary Turner, who does not have a major online presence that he wants shared, but DOES say hello.

This will not be the normal theme, I made a better one with the Meowsynth and some midi loops that you'll hear next episode.
