I wanted to ask, however small the odds, but does anyone have these pictures? They 404'd when clicked on in the archives.
It's a bit of a shame that a good portion of the original artwork surrounding this project is now lost to time. I wonder where the artists that were involved in this project are these days.

A catgirl with her trusty medic bag.
I remember that outside of extreme circumstances, it was originally planned for it to be very hard to actually die in CATastrophe. The original feel was to be more Feel-good Saturday morning cartoon. Characters could definitely get injured but at worst that would lead to incapacitation .
I remember one monster that was invented was the Disco Slug. It wasn't really harmful but was bioluminescent and had chromatophores across it's skin that caused it to light up and pulse like a lightshow at a rave or disco. Characters and NPCs that looked at it and failed the equivalent to a WILL save were hypnotized by the creature and began to dance around it. Eventually they would obviously pass out from exhaustion. This made them both good living security systems and also were great at parties.
There was plans to have a kaiju sized version of the creature but I think we only got as far as writing some lore regarding it.

I remember one thing that was discussed early on was that the animal folk in CATastrophe were assumed to be kind of stupid. Mechanic wise I don't think we had any thing to represent this. It was left more to the spirit of the players to RP their characters as kind of airheads.

Of course, you're not to blame for any of this, you've been here since 2016

>>97373954
>It draws folks in and keeps the site healthy.
No it doesn't. It creates a feedback loop where /tg/ just becomes "become famous on twitter by posting elf gf what do threads", or alternatively a post you thought was for one community is instead picked apart by another. 4chan is no one's zoo. This is an imageboard. You post images, you discuss things. If you want to use some other site, go back and stay there.
>People scrape /v/ and you don't see them complaining.
This is not the argument you think it is, it is in fact the opposite argument of how a board can be turned into utter shit by everyone trying to be the most epic shitposter XDDDDD

It was and it wasn't.

I would say 4chan was just generally anti-establishment and libertarian. Ron Paul was a meme candidate here for a reason. Equal parts left and right spectrum wise, but generally just people here to talk anime and whatever.
People blame /pol/ and 2016 tourists, but in general politics got extremely partisan in 2016 and I think people who were here for years got more partisan along with everyone else.

Newfag detected. 4chan was always getting scraped by other sites. That's why sites like 9gag and even Reddit were so derided. That's where the "I made this" meme came from. OC and screencaps from 4chan would always get posted to those sites. However that never stopped people from posting OC and their own content anyway. It still brought users to the site and content and OC continued to flourish.
Fuck, Encyclopaedia Dramatica got most of their traffic by documenting the exploits and memes of 4chan users. I remember when having your post saved in a screen cap was a personal badge of high honor as was having your thread immortalized in suptg.

I don't disagree with this, Twitter and Youtube have just encouraged monetizing it. With 9gag and Reddit the worst you had to worry about was internet points and just flat out claiming your ideas were theirs.
And the fundamental problem is the kind of thread this sort of monetization encourages. Like the pattern on Twitter is
>4chan OP with a question
>the thread got a lot of replies, so it must get a lot of replies on twitter too
And again these accounts are monetized, so you have an endless churn of
>ELF GF WHAT DO

It didn't wither away, in fact there were a few different systems people made it compatible for, I don't have the slightest clue in remembering which ones though. The copy I have saved is using d20, but if I had to guess, knowing /tg/ there's a GURPS version out there too.

The reason /tg/ isn't creative any more and 4chan as a whole fucking sucks even compared to 10 years ago is because being anonymous means nothing any more because the internet is not longer just for fat nerds to bitch about their interests. Sure people on reddit or youtube or facebook or whatever have usernames, but it doesn't fucking matter because there's so many people siloed into 4 websites that you will never interact with any of them more than once, so people treat every discussion as a one-off instead of just the latest in a long line of interaction. 4chan has nothing to offer because being a nobody and calling everyone niggers and kikes is just the internet now, it's not a special place for special people, and it's no different to any of the social media websites people here pretend to hate and not use except it's slightly more vulgar as people try to keep up the "4chan persona" they feel like they need to put on in order to post and feel like a real anon.

Some people decided "fuck this shit" and went for staying against discussing partisan stuff.
It definitely felt like something imposed from outside; someone with a lot of money and an axe to grind spent a lot of time and effort on it. But I only ever saw the blowback from it though, so I have no idea where it really came from.

Yeah, because the board died in 2016 and now it's been unusable for a solid decade. Guess what, I was here when Catastrophe was being made, and I was here when it failed. Why did it fail? Because the board became fucking horrible, people stopped wanting to come here, interest died down and everyone left.
And the board is STILL fucking horrible 10 years later.

>>97382376
The concerted effort to ruin /tg/ came from a mod in 2014. Anyone and everyone saying it's 2016 is just ideologically grinding an axe rather than speaking facts.

Extra based anons. I've got some PDF and Doc files that' I'll throw up in a bit. I really wish they'd bring back PDF posting. I've got some of the beta rules for the TAILS version as well as the 'Powered By The Apocalypse' version, the FATE accelerated quickstart guide and a PDF of a settlement.
Don't forget to update the links on the wiki!

Yeah, IIRC this was one of the OG pics that inspired CATastrophe.

And this is why people hate pornsloppers.

You're the type of person who looks at Nechronica and thinks it's an ERP system and then proceeds to clutch pearls over people actually playing it.

HOLY SHIT!! I found some of my old Writefaggotry that I wrote for CATastrophe back in the day. This is some of the first writefaggotry that I ever posted. Reading some of it now makes me want to cringe at my early attempts at writing, but fuck it! This is /tg/ history here!

==The Dread Pirate Roberta== "Surrender you doggie-paddlers, Wahahaha!!"

The Dread Pirate Roberta the self proclaimed queen of the High seas and scourge of the Endless Blue. Orphaned at a young age, Roberta always liked two things: Shiny objects and adventure on the high seas. She will do whatever is necessary to get what she wants. Roberta has a penchant for theatrics and she is as stylish as she is dangerous, ready to be the first to swing aboard a vessel with her robotic crew. She is also known for extorting settlements for goods or just raiding them if shes in the mood. Roberta's victims are often stripped of all their shinies and anything that looks remotely valuable, and left adrift in the endless blue or marooned on a deserted island. Of course she is nice enough to leave them with some supplies to get to the nearest settlement. After all, it would be a shame and a waste to lose "potential return costumers" as she puts it.

==The Teknomancer== "Behold, the knowledge and power of the Earless"

The Teknomancer is an a mysterious person with a great knowledge of Earless tech. In her youth, the Teknomancer spent most of her days tinkering with shinies and was quite gifted, becoming quite proficient in basic robotics and eventually learning various earless programming languages. Sadly, Her tinkering eventually turned into an obsession. Forgoing the typical Mimi' activities of partying and exploring, She would seclude herself in her room for long periods of time to study earless technology. After too many incidents involving misbehaving robots, missing shinies and a few stepped on tails, She was eventually kicked out of her village and left to wander the Endless Blue. She continues to work to expand her knowledge of Earless technology despite all this and has made quite a mysterious name for herself with stories ranging from mysteriously arriving in villages to quickly study a few significant pieces of tech and just as quickly depart to full raids on villages with robots to obtain shinies. In the eyes of the outside Kemo, her skill with technology appears to border on the arcane. Skilled manipulation of Holo-interfaces helps her cement this reputation where ever she goes. She is often accompanied by a small retinue of small robots that assist her and she owns several highly advanced pieces of technology. One of which is a staff like shiney which functions as her main tool to interact with electronics and allows her to interface with almost any shiney (computers, robots, doors, locks, ect...)as well as providing the tools to study technology including various scanners, data recorders, and analysis devices. It also acts like a personal computer which is also able to project her holo interfaces and provides her with another ways of interacting with Earless tech.

Not my best writing. I'd probably rewrite the whole latter half to be more coherent and less mary-sue-ish. But hey, wizards are cool!

Welp, I'd like to post the OC I wrote for the Rusty Iron Gizmo but 4chan seems to think it's spam. It's up on the wiki under settlements anyway.
Looking back there is a lot I'd change about it. I'd probably make it bigger. Maybe increase the size to 100 acres or 1 square mile is size? Big enough to be a proper sized settlement/dungeon. I originally thought an oil rig settlement would be cool. Maybe take out the Oil part but keep in the mining portion. The whole thing was powered by a large geothermal power generator, another byproduct of it extracting materials from the Moho boundary. That's assuming you could turn it on. Having it dormant would be more fitting given it's name. I did like the idea of having it be a base of operations for a villian. The whole thing also needs to be edited and rewritten for clarity.

>>97377245
If you feel that way, why are you here?
I ask this honestly. There is a certain segment of 4chan now that hates this place but insists on using it and reminding everyone that they should hate it as well. If you don't like the site or the community, leave. Take your own fucking advice.
Oh wait you won't because you're either a hypocrite or not from this site at all.

>>97382784
>You're the type of person who looks at Nechronica and thinks it's an ERP system
So he's correct?

>>97383586
Eventually you reach the sinking realization that the only way to enact meaningful change on these boards would to become a janny yourself. And even then you'd probably get the boot if you actually started pruning the threads here everyone hates.

>>97377245
I disagree, there's quite a few little technical points that all contribute to the overall feel of the board. On the larger side of this is the rules against raiding and griefing/spaming which while causes staff headaches definitely led to a sense of cohension and norms for the board itself. Even going to the /tg/ of today, things like how long a thread can stay in the catalog and the accepted prevalence / propriety of generals (and the extent to which the Jannies hide moderation decisions behind 'off topic / take it to general) all go a long way to determining how the board acts. You can see a direct drop in PPH for some of these changes others are more of a group effect.

Why does 4/tg/ suck now? It's run by FBIpedoNiggerfaggots using DiscordTrannieWannaJannies to try to contain culture.

And the really glorious thing is? They may have killed /tg/. But like the other boards, it is simply slowly becoming mainstream. Think of how much hobby autism you used to get (and good hobby autism not CR ) and think of how much you get now. Maybe it was covid or all governments trying to reset society but we expanded, we're the lifestyle brand now bitch. And while it pains me to admit it, that it will never be what it was. The best thing we can is just make things we like and that are worth doing and let the glow in the dark nigger faggots suck each other off while bugchasing discord catboy farms spread aids of various kinds in the background. Find the bunkers, go find the TRUE/tg/. We are out there. We didn't stop, you goddamn nigger faggot bitch ass posers. You want the good stuff go make it, go find it. You're right it's not here. It's out there. So go do it.

You are on a plane. A flight attendant begins to explain emergency procedures. She puts on an inflatable vest. "Pull this cord when in water." She absentmindedly pulls said cord and the vest inflates, for the entire plane to see. It's super awkward and the single use vest is going out of her paycheck.

>Drawfags come and go as they please and this was a long time ago.
It's sad to track an artist, if they name-fagged, in the archive, and they just suddenly stop posting one day. Not just here but on other boards too, I've experienced this. It's eerie. You never know when it will be the last time you'll ever see a person, much like how they didn't know it would be the last time they post on /tg/ (or whatever other board).
>You can actually copy out the art from the PDF and save it onto your machine by right clicking on the images. That should net you 5 and 6.
It's not quite the same as having the original files, though.
What's been posted so far matches hashes in the archive under "View Same". This is the first time many of these images have been posted here in over ten years.

stop trying to make 4chan the bastion of racism. It was racist only because it was one of the edgy things people were performatively online.
I ve also called people here niggers a million times but i wasnt out of some hate for black people. After all i was talking to fat maladjusted white kids.

>>97374019
The problem isn't the scraping. The problem is the people they're scraping for deciding to move in, who only knows it for those scraped moments, not the underlying culture and mindset that creates them.

The newfags still occasionally parrot oldfag /tg/ memes. But they don't make new ones, because they aren't actually of us. They aren't proper newfags, they just new and fags. Given how long it's been, I can't really even say they're all that new. Our nest is full of cuckoos.

Okay, let's try to get this shit back on topic, you homo niggerfaggots.

It seems like it's agreed that these four pics:
>>97382575
>>97373889
>>97373364
>>97382608
are the original inspiration for the setting. Were they all drawn by the same person? I noticed that all but one of them feature the same waterbus sign, and the one the doesn't have the sign still shows the bus itself, with a consistent design. I'm sort of wondering whether this person ever produced more art in the setting, if so.

>>97373285
Oh hey I remember helping out with this back in the day. It went through a few iterations, and yes, there was original art done for it often, like in the OP image >>97373285 where the person spearheading this particular version asked a friend to do a cover for the book.

As far as I know, this was the last iteration of it that was released. I'll check to see if I still have the book somewhere in my old data.

>>97396808
I'm guessing that art is Japanese, possibly from Pixiv?

I might have image #3, or at least I think I remember seeing on the wikis. We might have to break out Waybackmachine to grab some of these off of the old wiki. 1d6chan's page isn't a complete copy IIRC.
>That pic has a different hash. The image dimensions are the same, though.
Not surprising. I ripped that one from one of the PDFs I have. It might've gotten changed somehow when it was incorporated into the PDF. That might be the only way to save some of these ancient pics. Like pic related.
>This is the first time many of these images have been posted here in over ten years.
It's weird. I'm going to sound like a complete boomer but it really feels like all this was yesterday.
You really don't know your in the good times until they're passed. This is also really goes to show how much the internet has lost in only 10 years as well as how hard of a job historians and archivists will have in the coming decades and centuries.

1d6chan is run by kikes and kike pedophiles. Use 2d4chan instead.

>>97399437
That sounds like something a kike pedophile would say.

"Always accuse the enemy of what you yourself are doing."

>>97381608
I was going to mention that there was a Genesys adaptation of CATastrophe called W.E.T. While it's more furry than the original, the core conceit is the same.

>>97399437
>use abandoned page run by an actual revisionist kike
Lol
Lmao even

Ask me how I know you never been to 2d4, and at least not in the past 10-11 months (it's up for merely a year)

What's the final version of CATastrophe? Does it still run on MAID RPG?

>>97382291
If I played it I would probably just take the concept and convert to GURPS

I was just a spectator to CATastrophe when it was going on but I loved the aesthetic and the drive to make an interesting setting.

>>97400739
It's a fairly straightforward idea when you get to the core of it - a post-post-blue apocalypse world with animal people living in a world after humanity, where hijinks ensue.

>>97400739
Same, thought it was comfy but even though I adore catgirls I don't like waterworld settings or lighthearted settings for actual play

>>97399437
I have never seen a good thing about 2d4chan or the people running.

>>97399437
2d4chan is dead and filled with bots and the owner is a miserable little faggot. 1d6chan is active, bots get the boot fucking quick, and they got locked the loli page to keep pedos from fucking with it. What's wrong with it again?

>>97400757

Right, but the work those fa/tg/guys did was good at transmitting the vibe and aesthetic.

>>97399437
Elaborate or continue to receive well-deserved mockery.

>>97373285
I ran this using Mutant Future and some folks from a gamefinder. I had some extremely complicated excel sheets that built every square of a world for my players to explore. Only ran three sessions but we had fun. I checked but cannot find my old excel sheets. I think they're on my other computer. Maybe I'll dig 'em up. It was a 2d6 roller that'd give each square on the map either open ocean, deep sea, shallow sea, island, continent, ruins... some other things. Then it gave what flora and fauna, treasure, monsters, adventure hooks and possible tech could be located at each.

Was fun. I kinda want to finish it up. But I doubt I will.

I was around at the time, but I think I missed the threads. Oh well. Game looks dope, deserves to be uncovered for sure.
So... I will do my part and make a nice looking pdf with my pirated copy of indesign, too much free time and years of experience making rpg books.

>Waybackmachine to grab some of these off of the old wiki.
WBM often doesn't save images, from my experience.
>Like pic related.
Many have shown up here stating they were around for this back in the day but I guess either don't have or lost the media for it.
>I'm going to sound like a complete boomer but it really feels like all this was yesterday.
No, I get it. I still think the 1980s were 20-25 years ago...
>You really don't know your in the good times until they're passed.
Yup.
>This is also really goes to show how much the internet has lost in only 10 years
Yes sir.

>>97373285
I liked the setting but mechanically it was really weak. Honestly a good redesign with a more modern narrative approach in the year zero engine or a daggerheart reskin would work wonders on it.

>>97410561
Try just the generic d6 system, they are open-sourced after all.

>>97410703
I haven't read year zero, can you give me a pitch?

>>97410743
Middleground of rules light and mechanical complexity. You get high stake gambling with fast deadly combat. Every roll is done with d6s so you have the handfulnof dice feeling at the real table. Readability remains easy because 1 good, 6 bad - discard rest. It's incredible easy to hack and most rules are player centric making it easy to prep for the GM.

Current games that adapted it:
ALIEN RPG
Bladerunner
Forbidden Lands
Tales from the Loop
Mutant Year Zero
The Walking Dead
Twilight

And the best part? OGL license making it basically free to use even comercially.

>>97410798
It sounds cool, i don't know if that description fits in good with this setting though... I mean, its about light-hearted adventures with catgirls on a flooded planet where its always summer.
Deadly Combat does quite sound right. But oh well, nothing one can't hack. I'll have a look.
Personally I would've maybe gone with something forged in the dark-esque. My group is currently playing wildsea, and that is a lot of fun.

>>97410888
Well it has good stress rules and is nice for survival focused games too. Deadly combat means just fast combat to me. Either side is defeated quick on good hits. If you fluff that as gruesome death or as a catgirl getting to high on catnip is up for interpretation.

>>97411567
Actually, reading the SRD, you might be onto something. If I change the stress into something more comical (like the stress explosions in MAID), then this does work.
I can work with this.

>>97411583
Oh, stress explosion mechanics for the game sound interesting! Yeah, focus on that.

>>97411949
Yeah I was thinking, instead of having Health and Resolve, maybe there is just Stress. The stress adds dice, and it accumulates. When you roll a bane on the stress dice, you explode.
This basically means you are "broken" and while you can't do anything in terms of taking actions or rolling skill checks, you can still role play your stress explosion.
idk, might be too ridiculous. Since you basically get stress endlessly, situations where players have infinite dice and never roll any banes could theoretically happen... but it just sounds really really funny.

>>97420911
What's the tech level, anyway

>>97420964
I mean it kinda depends, right?
It's post-post apocalypse, but humanity was quite advanced when it went under and the Kemo took over.
The Kemo are not super advanced themselves, mostly living of what little technology they could salvage after the catastrophe, but they also do salvage old tech.
So... the tech level is sort of all over the place. There should maybe be some really advanced tech around, but those should be rare.
Otherwise I suppose most tech would be at modern day levels?

I remember this...
If I recall, what happened was a factional divide between "comfy" and "conflict"
One side wanted only comfy, cozy adventures with little to no threat.
The other wanted more active conflict, or at least participation in other activities.

This split led to a loss of interest as people bickered back and forth and could not resolve it.

I was on the leaning on conflict side, there were not enough things to do mechanically otherwise. Some even reduced it to social / skill checks only.

It do be nice art.

>>97430065
I mean you do have a point, but i dont see why it can't be kinda both...
what would be a good central conflict in your opinion?

Last one.

>>97430085
Of course it could be both, each group runs games different.
What was lacking setting wise was any strong danger or 'call to adventure'
If every town is safe, comfy, and fine...why go out at all?
There were no threats in the setting or problems to be solved.

I was personally on the side of 'You need to dive for ancient tech to keep shit running well'
But some... VERY passionate anons didnt like the idea that their idealized catgirl oil platforms could face ruin.
Everyone likes the idea of a catgirl pirate, but why is she a pirate? Pirates shoot a motherfucker and take his shit. If they dont, then your just a merchant or an explorer.
There was a heavy resistance to any sort of tension or conflict at all by some.

>>97430113
I think it couldn't hurt. Will add.
It does also make sense from a world building perspective. Tech breaks, resources are needed for maintenence. From that standpoint alone you need some people to get that stuff. Like most of the planet is under water, where are you gonna get the resources for maintenance if not from under water?
plus pirates, weird ancient techno shit that could bring ruin to some settlement and wild beasts are also easy enough explanations for like things like that.
Otherwise I think a love for adventure, like doing a whole one piece is valid.

>>97430158
Yeah im not saying we go full fallout 2 stye "we are on the verge of ruin go get this shit now!"

Just, have it part of the world that tech salvage, reconstruction, and study are a thing.
It lets you have different cultures who have answered lifes problems differently.
Like, one group may rely on wind power to keep things going and have gotten to the point they can make their own generators.
where another has had to use tidal power that is only active during certain points of the day, so they pay really well for means of energy storage.
Then a third thats based off a roaving freight hauler who recycle scrap to make new things entirely.

Lot of potential.

>>97430228
I could imagine like a loose federation of salvagers that sorta help people out in exchange for goods, so like they do salvage work, they get other resources they can trade for equipment, food, etc...
A Salvager's League, basically.

>>97430065
>>97430113
A gross exaggeration of the argument at play. One side wanted humans returning from space to genocide/enslave all the catgirls and the other side mentioned you could have stakes without having a warlord human making pyramids of kemonomimi skulls.

>>97430228
Or maybe a central authority that tries to assert itself and build a big platform city and the independents don't like their life becoming faffing about and getting on UBI

So what is the end game with CATastrophe? The goal? What are you supposed to do? How do you win the game?

Yes it became more common over time but because actual discussion was grindlocked.

It really, really wasn't. HFY was also popular at the time and they were trying to elbow their way into the project.

Leftists in the meaning of liberals in opposition to conservatives and/or monarchists have traditionally been quite creative. I don't buy into the false dichotomy of the left/right spectrum, but it's hard to deny, especially going back only like 40 years. Go back a century and it becomes even more obvious.

Now, Marxists/Capitalists/Jews, however...

Fair, HFY is still popular, the sheer amount of 'humans always being worse than other species' kinda spurred that into existence.
But dont think the ones in the past threads were overly serious about it.
I think what really started it was the annoying ones who wanted to get preachy with it. 'Oh, humanity doomed the world so now the superior kemono must take over!"

Character Creation almost done. Making good progress.

CATastrophe has to be my favorite of /tg/'s creations. I hate it so much.

I'm a pervert, so I love catgirls, but I also love shitty grimdark fiction and never really fucked with the wonderful, light, frilly tone of CATastrophe. I've had plans to run a "CATastrophe but fucked up" campaign for a while now; probably in GURPS to really spite the original. I'm pretty sure I'm the only lunatic who feels this way, though. Absolutely nobody else at my table is interested in playing in such a game.

Who knows, maybe I'd have an easier time getting my sick kicks visiting a felenid waterworld planet in Dark Heresy. (Or is it Wrath & Glory everyone plays now?)

>>97435531
It really was. Though sadly, he didn't bother to change TOO much. Apparently he actually did play in one single campaign, Curse of Strahd, as a halfling cleric. Though the fact he couldn't remember his own deity's name and kept calling him a hobbit cleric tells me that he was mostly there to ride the Critical Roll hypewave than anything. Though the fact that he actually played in a game puts him automatically above the nogames posters on /tg/, so I have to credit him with that.

>>97436577
It's the post-post-apocalypse. It's been long enough since the great flood that society has had enough time to at least partially rebuild and establish a new normal, or at least a better normal compared to the immediate wake of the event (the post-apocalypse). If you want to run your darker game, you can set it closer to the apocalypse.

>>97436608
I take for granted my preference for stories set closer to the apocalypse. I'd definitely be interested in something more Fallout 1 than Fallout 2. (Factions and some semblance of trade/order has been established, but there aren't huge population centers or an established new "normal.") It might be interesting exploring what the proto-versions of some of the settlements looked like, or having "first encounters" with some of the fauna.

>>97417891
I know where you can find some art of catgirls for your book, there's this thread on 4chan.org right now, a board called /tg/ has an entire thread with bikini clad catgirls.

>>97436577
It would just instantly turn grimdark if you used the GURPS rules, anyway
The swimming rules are fairly brutal

>>97437707
I used (or plan on using) much of the art in the thread. Some things just require more specific art, so i scounched together what i could find on danbooru that fits what I need. Not my fault there are an abundance of art of kemonomimi in bikinis coming out of the vtuber sphere. I'll use it if its good.
Got at least one touhou piece in there as well because it fit the theme I needed.

>>97438190
There are at least two threads up now where one guy does shit for free and another shits on him over the art

>>97436882
I mean it's your table, you can do what you want really.
I know I'd rather have some high sea hijinx but others may be more inclined to make it apocalyptic.

Honestly, I'm a big ocean and ship nerd.

Was never a part of the original development of the thing, but I wouldn't mind trying to run a game of this honestly.
Swimsuit catgirl explorers discovering the world and treasure within sounds enjoyable to run.

Dobson is the archetypical autistic retard.

>Everyone else who participates in life that I don't like or understand is stupid and one dimensional.
>Look how fun, quirky, and interesting I am as I share these stories and perspectives in my comics!

He's what you get when you take a profoundly mediocre person, with a vague bend towards nerdy hobbies (but not enough to be interesting, learned, or fit a community) that don't require physical exercise, social interaction or physical confrontation, and give him both autism, and a genuinely debilitating case of main character syndrome.

>'Oh, humanity doomed the world so now the superior kemono must take over!"
I always just took the opinion of it being a post-apocalyptic media and what necessarily happened to humanity really doesn't matter beyond being a "divine mystery" for the people of the setting to ponder.
I quite enjoyed the idea of "the earless" just being a lost ancient precursor race to the kemomi.

I worked on my own branch of the idea as a personal project some years later after it seemed /tg/ wasn't really able to make any more productive threads on the subject, and one of the things I thought would be interesting would be if the kemonomimi people were smaller than humans were, so all the human ruins and artifacts are kinda oversized for them, to kinda emphasize that this world was made by someone else for someone else and they're just the children that inherited their dead parent's ruined estate.
I chose to explain their existence as being created in biolabs and just kinda released out into the flooded world as the ancient labs that spawned them just kinda ejected the contents of their storage units as a power-failure event failsafe.

>>97442577
Personally, I always found the geography of flooded earth to be rather limited and boring, and for my own radical personal branch I had been working on I decided to shift the entire setting to a terraformed Venus set in the far far future, simply because I thought it would make a more interesting ocean world than Earth does.

>>97443003
>I always just took the opinion of it being a post-apocalyptic media and what necessarily happened to humanity really doesn't matter beyond being a "divine mystery" for the people of the setting to ponder.
I though that was the default idea people settled on: that the exact fate of the "earless" progenitors is unknown/not yet known, and that it's always an option to noodle away at.

Unfortunately that's the only one that hints of anything post-apocalyptic that would be appropriate for this thread, the rest are all medieval mouse girls.
Although, if you want, you could pull a Sunless Sea and just have an island of chivalrous rodents.

A very cool idea desu.
Though personally, I've enough irl bio knowledge that I'd probably prefer to set it in a future earth.
Also, it allows for sea diving to find old ruins more, which imo would add a great part of the fun to it.

Unless the players make it their business, learning about the prior world is not necessary.

>>97443003
Are u the anon doing the rebooted version?
Idk how I'd feel about the game not being set on Earth. Depends on how it's done I guess, but frankly there's just a lot more potential stuff to put under the sea if you're imagining it's our familiar planet. Both ruins and fauna and stuff.

>>97443126
No, they aren't. Salvaged is set on earth.

>>97373764
Do you have said lore still floating around?
Would be interested to have a look at it if so.

>>97443318
I think the lore is on the wiki linked somewhere above, under settlements.

>>97443124
>I've enough irl bio knowledge that I'd probably prefer to set it in a future earth.
Yeah that's fair, I already figured there would be other weird new unique animals inhabiting the world after it flooded and I think the "terraformed planet" aspect personally would be fun because I like to, to keep things relatively light, imagine the world with a lot of bioengineered medicinal plants and food to go around, and all the weird species on the planet specifically seeded there, created by or evolved from the results of the old Earless teraforming efforts.
Plus the amount of flooding required to make Earth be only mountains puts all our interesting ruins SOOOOOOOO deep underwater.
>Also, it allows for sea diving to find old ruins more, which imo would add a great part of the fun to it.
Yeah, I still kind of explain in my own diverged setting the whole terraforming process took centuries and the Earless successfully lived on Venus for a significant amount of time, so there's still multiple generations of ruins from ancient NASA era research habs still sealed down on the bottom of the ocean to more normal cities and enormous monuments like dams and great libraries and museums and stuff from the late Earless era.
And then this way I dont have to worry about making things make sense with Earth's history and geography and the placement of our cities and ruins and as a GM feel free to put anything where I feel would be interesting without needing to explain where it is on Earth.

>>97443126
No I'm just some random nona who loved CATastrophe years ago.
