Call for Playtesters: GURPS Furries

I think the audience of this is made up partly of people who belong to that fandom, and partly of people who appreciate the material and are not deterred from doing so by anyone's reputation. So I personally prefer to have a title that will appeal to them and make it clear what this book is about. If it were established that furry fans themselves took such a title as offputting or offensive, that would be a reason to think about other titles; negative reactions from people who want to keep their distance from furriness aren't such a concern.

Secondarily, "animalfolk" might invite the supposition that this book is about otherkin. And that's certainly not the case. We have GURPS Powers: Totems and Nature Spirits for that. (Hmmm, got to add a cross-reference to that book!)
