How to Make A Literal Cat in Your Favorite RPG

46 - Making An Alchemist Who Wants To Be a Real Boy in Magonomia

Season 1, Ep. 46

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.

  • 48. 48 - Making the Grey (Tabby) Jedi in Force and Destiny

    01:19:21
    Force and Destiny is the second of Fantasy Flight Games's cross-compatible Star Wars RPGs we've covered. This one focused primarily on the surviving Jedi in hiding in the aftermath of the Battle of Yavin. While it is the official stance of the Literal Cat Podcast and official Star Wars brand that Grey Jedi aren't real, they never said anything about making Grey Tabbies into Jedi, and we feel like that's basically the same thing.Follow the show online: https://literalcatpod.start.page/ Follow Joel Holland: https://jholland.start.page/Follow Avalon: https://twitter.com/AvalonAlchemistWe’ve got a Patreon now! https://www.patreon.com/BadgerTrove Download the character sheets: https://bit.ly/literalcatpod We’re on Bluesky now! https://bsky.app/profile/literalcatpod.bsky.social Cover art, midroll theme, and Intro/Outro music made by Joel HollandThanks for listening!

    01:04:48
    Chris Longhurst, aka PotatoCubed, has joined us to talk about his RPG, See Issue X! 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! It offered no resistance whatsoever to the cat creation process. Patrick is a stray cat who has gained the ability to rewrite reality after touching the blank pages of a history book, completing a ritual meant for a local wizard, who is now Patrick's eternal rival.

    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?
