TTRPG games I'm looking to run in the very near future (three of which I've written for):

They Came From Beyond the Grave

Vampire: The Masquerade

Realms of Pugmire

By Eddy Webb

A d20 system set in a world where humans have all died out and dogs have inherited the Earth. Evolving to develop things like thumbs, speech, and civilization, dogs now set out to find remnants of the human world and learn more about their former god-like keeps as well as wisdom on what it means to be a "good dog," as found in the writings of humans. Players can also opt to play as a cat from the Monarchy of Mao.

also completely forgot about having these two characters lol

There are many good dogs in the world!

Dogs in the Vineyard, succeeded by the setting-agnostic D.O.G.S., is a standout of the genre for its gambling-like conflict resolution mechanics.

Dogs in the Bark, a spoof of Blades in the Dark, is a fantastic entry point into the newest wave of indie ttrpgs.

I'm happy to say Pugmire has its cool little dedicated fanbase, but if you're not familiar with it the gist of the game is that you play as anthropomorphic fantasy animal adventurers. Dogs, cats, mice...you get the idea. Make friends fight monsters, explore fantastical places, and protect those you care about with magic & sword.

The big twist of Pugmire is that it's not set in a "distant" world, but rather our own in a far future, with the humans gone and the boundaries between magic and technology being unclear. So you get to live in a world filled with remnants of the past, sorcery, and all that. Kinda akin to how Horizon Zero Dawn and Adventure Time do it (the latter I personally consider a most perfect Pugmire inspiration)

Curious Cats, as you can expect, details the feline houses of the Monarchies of Mau, with all their intrigues, conflicts, and powers.

It's a big book, including plenty of character options, setting details, and a whole campaign (I wrote the last chunk of the latter!)

Bias aside, Pugmire is honestly a lovely alternative to classic fantasy games, with smooth rules (especially in this current 2nd Edition), great aesthetics, and touching themes.

Please consider backing the book! It's a line that deserves more love & brings plenty of joy. You can have a look at the linked page and see. The option to get the Pugmire core book at reduced price through the campaign is also there.

We'll release the manuscript to backers as the campaign goes on, so you can see if it's your thing even before campaign ends, but I know for a fact most of those who look at Pugmire 2e discover its charm.

And this time around, it's all about the Curious Cats of Mau!

Posting some of my favsies in one spot!

All the Dogs so far!
