Myranor - Das Königreich der Catgirls

Serina und Jasmin sehen sich das Setting "Myranor" für "Das Schwarze Auge" an und sprechen dabei besonders über die anthropomorphen Katzen, die für das Setting ikonisch sind. Die haben auch dafür gesorgt, dass Myranor ein bisschen den Ruf des "Furry-Settings" hatte, wir sehen uns an, ob das stimmt und ob uns diese Catgirls ansprechen. Dabei geht es auch ein bisschen um Myranor insgesamt und wie Serina es bei ihrem ersten Lesen und Jasmin als Leserin der ersten Stunde wahrnimmt.

EP 29: Tabaxi, catwoman and catgirls - Nyan Nyan Nyan

So we thought we would rate as a pet three concurrent cat-like things, nyan. All three of these would do just fine at either a catgirl, cosplay or furry convention. Which is what a human in DnD typically feels they have joined whenever they walk into a tavern. Futhermore, nyan.

Which cat is best cat? (trick question... all cats are best cat)
Do cat-girls have ovipositors?!?
What did Tabaxi ever to to 3e and 4e to make them so mad?
Which of these three makes the best flat-mate?
Why does George hate Cats the musical so much?
Nyan?

Shownotes and stuff mentioned:

Kenji Miyazawa's 1924 work, Suisenzuki no Yokka
Edo cat art: Utagawa Kuniyoshi. During this period in Japanese history, it became illgal to depict courtesans or actors. So artists got around that by presenting them as cat versions of real people!
