However, Pirates of Pugmire is the first full treatment we are getting on these very interesting folks. Lizards get an NPC stat block in Monarchies of Mau, and are discussed in the last of the three adventures in Adventures for Curious Cats. I think it’s an elegant design element that fits the setting well.

There are Callings, classes for Realms of Pugmire, that negate this effect for themselves, but means if they fight in mixed company they need to be very careful. The mechanic used to justify why gunpowder weapons are rare is Gunpowder Fear, which gives disadvantage to those who are frightened by blasts. Gunpowder weapons are in their early stages of development, but also cats, dogs and others are very prone to reacting poorly to loud noises. Gunpowder weapons are integral to piratical play though, and in Pirates of Pugmire Eddy Webb and team have created a clever way to introduce these elements. Guns are often one of those things that gamers want in their D&D or similar games but they frequently destabilize a game, just like they did warfare. Birds appropriately have a different religious vision than dogs or cats, and their focus on the Sky Kingdom is really intriguing. And, because not all birds have been uplifted, you can have a parrot pirate with a parrot on his shoulder… I’ll let that visual sink in. The birds include Parrots (Pirates, duh), Crows, and Sparrows. Birds have been hinted at in previous Pugmire books, so to have the chance to finally get playable rules for them is very exciting for me. While I have never had a bird as a pet, I do have an affinity for birds, particularly corvids (crows, ravens, bluejays, etc) and penguins.

I’m going to list the things I love about this new book below. The setting is family friendly but deep enough for several layers of play.Ĭurrently, Onyx Path Publishing and Pugsteady, the two companies behind Pugmire have launched a Kickstarter for their newest supplement, Pirates of Pugmire. It’s a great mash-up of the science fantasy tropes of ages past. In that world, those animal people remember humanity, Man, or The Old Ones very vaguely. Now, the folks that don’t know me might also be like, “what the heck is Pugmire anyway?” Well, the Realms of Pugmire is a fantasy world setting for a D&D 5e OGL game of uplifted dogs, cats, and more where humanity has only left remnants of their society and technology. I’ve also done some work for the property, specifically for Adventures for Curious Cats and Roll of Good Dogs and Excellent Cats, both available on DriveThruRPG as we speak.
