>>1041 It's worth going as tons of things are sold in person that you can't get online. Same when shopping second hand as you can grab a ton of things that might not be on any second hand shopping site like Mandarake. Here's a video of event shopping in person. <An Overworked Salaryman's Guide to Prepping for Comiket - How to Plan And What To Bring https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eTIeGQhpw0 >are they all re-sold on booth nowadays? No. Some don't ever restock and even if it's put up for resale it can be snatched up in an instant. So you can't be too hesitant on what you want to buy. >If so, how much cash and free time does it require? I do all my shopping online and outside of Japan. 100 doujins today should be around $500 I believe. Shipping is where the real financial rape comes in. It can cost you $100+ to ship 100 doujins now. >I presume you don't need to know much nihongese, right? Nah, a cellphone can translate anything for you these days. Also you can use Google Lens to translate words and physical objects instantly. So you should never get lost due to communication problems. >Is there some sort of a catalogue of the books that are going to be sold and what's in them, or do you have to piece it together from social media? There is a catalog of what artists will be there but you'll need to check their socials to see what they'll sell. Some don't sell their stuff online and many smaller artists will only sell stuff in person. Not that their works aren't worth buying mind you. The catalogs are sold on Melonbooks but you can also find them here. https://webcatalog.circle.ms/ I usually find artists who are going on Melonbooks. If you click on the author's name, it usually has a link to their social. https://www.melonbooks.co.jp/tags/index.php?tag=%E3%82%B3%E3%83%9F%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF%E3%83%9E%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B1%E3%83%83%E3%83%88104%E8%B6%85%E6%96%B0%E5%88%8A%E3%83%9D%E3%83%BC%E3%82%BF%E3%83%AB If you're going, make sure to buy some wristbands for every day you want to enter so you don't have to wait in even more lines. https://www.melonbooks.co.jp/detail/detail.php?product_id=2447850 >If I'm only interested in NON furry-on-furry stuff, how much of is out there compared to the rest? If you mean human male x furry female. It's not that common. It's a niche of a niche. Furry male x human female I think is even more rare. If you mean just non-furry material in general. It outnumbers kemono material 1000/1. >Is there some sort of a global way to coordinate who buys what? Depends on the purpose. If you're coordinating on who's getting what for scanning and translating purposes. 4chan /h/ and Ehentai forums are usually the place to go. If you mean what's getting bought so you know what to look out for before it gets sold out, then I can't tell you. Just assume niche stuff will sell first. Same with lesser known artists. It's more important to buy from them first because they're less likely to restock. And if they do it could be months after the event when you're not paying attention. >Are any of the books you don't buy get lost forever, or do the japs sell them for multiple years? It's slim for something to be lost forever that's new. But anything pre-2014 is very hard to find. I'm still trying to find doujins from the 2000s. >I've seen there are services that allow you to export books, how much of a scam are they, and is it possible to custom-order books that weren't exported yet? I use AOCS (Toranoana's service), Rabbit Japan, and Tenso. They can all be trusted. I've been using them all for over 5 years now. As for people who'll shop in person for you. I have no clue about that and have yet to try it.

>>1063 Try two more niches on top of hmofa. I kind of want to put some of my money and/or effort towards searching out and publishing what little human male on kemololisho (not only pornographic) may exist out there. But that's such a well of contradictory niches, I don't even know if there is anything to look for, or if I'd be better off becoming the kemono version of your average furry fetish commissiondrone. What events are out there, even? Everyone always talks about either Comiket or Kemoket, but even just looking "kemoket" up, wikifur lists like 5 conventions in japan, excluding the obviously fursuit one, and if you go around the pages there are more mentioned but not listed. I feel like smaller, probably more specialized events are the best place to look for niche stuff (assuming those are even doujin events), right? But I don't even know where to look or whom to ask about them.

>>1064 Barely anyone does that type of material. NME, Kishibe, Rikose, and Ro/Nyankose are the only well known artists that do that material and Kishibe's is SFW. He did make 5 SFW doujins and I have 4 of them translated. I was going to upload them to Exhentai ages ago but needed to edit the cover pages again after a corrupted hard drive wiped everything I had. So I need to do that again. Either way, what I'm basically saying is that I've been looking for that material too (except shota stuff) and I've scanned a good deal of the NSFW stuff and some SFW over the past few years. Anything new you'll probably have to commission for or possibly draw yourself. The material is so niche most of those artists started drawing to get it so you'll probably have to do that same. I post artists and their Twitters in the Artist Thread here so you can look through those and find some artists. Who knows, they might start making something you like and put the word out that they'll submit something for Kemoket. As for conventions, Kemoket and the bi-yearly version of it is all you really need to know if you want doujins. Many smaller artists submit their works in anthology series. A few of the better ones work on the "Comic Gaira" kemono/monster girl human male on kemono female series but you can just download those. Kemono doujins are usually sold on Alicebooks but shipping is expensive and some works don't ship world wide. At this point it might just be cheaper to use a Forwarding Service like Rabbit Japan to buy from that site.

While FoW as a card game has seen better days; the DSP of TCGs next set features kemono characters; looks like it has new mechanics that I am not familiar with. The TL;DR: of FoW rules: It is a Magic the Gathering variant game that uses a lot of the mechanics of Duel Masters, its rules are very fun and liberating for MtG players, but the card design and balance has long frustrated said players. I still enjoy it though I wish they would reboot the power levels. But yeah Kemono biker gangs running greasy smoggy bikes over your opponents is definitely flavorful.

>>1122 Cool

>>1124 Ehh failed to be fully informative in the shill thread: FoW stands for Force of Will, in 2015 it was a contender to be the 4th largest TCG after the big three of Pokemon, Yugioh, and Magic the Gathering; currently it is a zombie game that people are shocked to find out is still puttering on. Looking at the next set the until more kemono bikers get posted, the current themes that kick out these bikers for me is the green Weyland Consortium styled faction and the Blue yandere investigator that works through card/hand manipulation. Thinking about prior sets that might have been kemono adjacent tribes, there were gem obessed pandas, lizard martial artists, and feline ninjas.

>>1126 im surprised a card game like that can still hang on. neat designs especially the pialle and bastet ones. I wonder if the artists had a hand at making the other ones in Wizards of the coast

>>1126 The gem pandas were really funny just on the art alone, but they didn't measure up to the quality of the rest of the game (although even that was sketchy, and it had the usual shitty tropes of Japanese TCG art). Mechanically the game's foundations were great but it was driven into the ground by the usual TCG problems (bloat, power creep) and the Reflect/Refrain reign of terror and the devs' refusal to admit they fucked up and ban it.

>>1138 My issue is the cynical power creep that the game suffers under as they print a threat and then in the next set will print responses later. However the reality is that the design team does not playtest any product outside of its own set/environment so they print a powerful dynamic that has cool interplay in the set it was created but lack previous sets suffer in the interactions. Game of Gods making every creature a potential J-ruler means that all removal in that set can kill resonator/j-ruler and that viable old decks like decks that love using traps having a shitfit until GoG rulers left the attention space as all of the traps were printed back when J-ruler removal was very rare and expensive. But the GoG rulers were very fun: a ruler that constantly committed suicide for benefit, a ruler that you would try to box into a resonator that has passed its purpose to avoid the deck from exploding again, and a ruler that was rather resonator agnostic and just liked to control a center piece and generate value. There was a crazy Jap that piloted Pandas to a top place finish in the New Vahalla/Reiya GP. But to talk about a card game with that is noted for good card design Wixoss has a few relevant cards to this board's interest, but does not cater towards them as the game is aesthetic is having a battle between Isaac Newton, a toaster, and the Influenza virus as depicted as girls spanning the spectrum of cute to sexy.

I've heard news of artists having their works being rejected by Toranoana because of Mastercard and Visa. Just a warning to people shopping online. I suggest following your favorite artists and seeing where they will sell their works. At this rate I might have to go to Comiket to get some doujins with loli, rape, and hypnosis themes. And yes, that what's being targeted.

>>1140 Whoops I forgot to post the one kemono card that Takara Tomy has printed in English that I know about. The the images under the spoiler is what they typically anthropomorphize stuff as, except the bird, that is amusingly and terrifyingly horny.

>>1140 >no cross-set synergy That is far and away one of the most prominent things that kills card games and I'm surprised that MTG seems to be about the only game which has considered it. They don't do this as much now, but when I was playing more seriously about 10 years ago it was common knowledge that any particularly powerful or marquis cards would have something printed in the next expansion which would make sense in its own context but give people some kind of way to interact with the stuff from before. That kind of layering is hard to manage, especially with rotating formats, but it's imperative if you want players to care and to show them that you aren't simply cynically pushing the new power crept thing with each new product. >>1146 Looks like typical soulless chink and/or gook UE5 shovelware with some of the worst animations and fur physics I've seen in recent memory. The entire game seems like it's barely being held together by string and that it would fall apart if you turned the camera too suddenly. >skunk girl with gas weapon Not exactly subtle with that one, were they? I have nothing against skunks IRL but any anthro skunk characters that mention the smell stuff are instant red flags for the creator.

>>1146 >>1148 Horrible; reminds me of pic related.

>>1149 fun fact: that minigun is actually an anzio 20mm bolt action rifle

>>1148 Killing cross set synergy seems to be deliberate as it liberates the design team to create cards that play against each other and have them less likely to absolutely break the game when you are designing decks as functional 40 card piles. The Yugification is notable where you mix and match archetypes that synergize or a strong archetype with staples to fix weak matchups. A bad example but the one that I am running with is War, it is a mechanic that is tied with a specific personality card so that if they overcook the mechanic they can ban specific pieces and it has the correct action of diluting the interactions as it is tied to a closed ecosystem. Basically you don't want to accidently create interactions like Zhuge+Null stone. But that would require lots of playtest data and that would cost time and money when there are cards to print with cool effects to make.

>>1146 pretty alright. the shooting felt acward with aiming while moving slowly. running felt alright. the map was too open so the wolf demolishes most of the team. hope theres more characters

>>1177 I didn't mean the game.

>>1180 oh the trailer. the first one was alright. I liked the character models better since they are more balanced with graphical enhancements. the 2nd trailer was fine. Also heres concept arts of the female combatants

What's this "nine soles" stuff chinks and japs have been soying about lately? Another artsy-deep indie platformer for adult children?

>>1184 All I know about it is that it's made by the Taiwanese guys who made Devotion, AKA that game which got delisted from every platform for mocking Xi Jinping in an easter egg. Based off that, it's probably pretty swell.

>jahknee speaks in jew-links Don't care/Didn't watch+Sex buny

>>1182 The on-model smut of these things is going to be hideous.

>>1197 Inb4 they tweak the faces just a little and it becomes perfect (not gonna happen, but still). They really just need to get the expressions sorted out and give her a sleeker muzzle.

>>1184 Metroidvania with a solid aesthetic and snappy gameplay. I saw it promoted earlier this year and it looked neat. >>1185 Interesting. Perhaps it may even be worth a purchase.

>>1203 maybe for the cute cat ladies

>>1203 >>1206 >check the devs' website >they sell DRM-free versions of all their other games >Nine Sols can be bought through their website but only gives you a Steam key Still better than buying it directly off Steam, I suppose.

Looks like Kon-Kon Cinematic Universe is trying to break out into the larger furry community with an interactive satanism simulator. His belly-eye is for being cummed into, if you were wondering. Though, I'd rather summon Mabo's cube-sucker than this chibi thing if I had the choice, to be honest. And it's furry-protag shit yet again. Well, beggars can't be choosers.

>>1206 They are pretty cute. But enough to get me to play soyman games, much less pay for them.

>but enough Well, damn.

WAIT. Cat has a HMOBA hubby!? I take back everything I've said, the game is perfect in every aspect, long live Republic of China and free Honkhonk, everything happened at the Taimanin square in 1987, Winnie the Pooh 師兄充重令空

>>1259 Looks pretty good shame it has to be gay

>>1384 >property https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/not-ipr.html

>>1385 >stallmanism

>>1392 Stallman may be a fat sperg, but he has a point: the term "(((intellectual property)))" intentionally muddles together three different concepts (copyright, patents, and trademarks) with the idea of physical property to confuse the goyim and introduce a linguistic bias that helps corporate jews get away with more bullshit. If you speak of anime, manga, or games as the artist's "property," on some level you don't actually see yourself as the owner of your own stuff, but as someone who's purchased (or pirated) a license to use it. It's a sort of anti memetic meme: an artificial meme designed to hinder the natural memetic growth and flowering of culture, and its use is a sign of mental slavery.

played kingdom of io. here it was undertale but lewd with kemonos. was alright for the first few girls i met but the pacing felt too slow

>>1437 Kingdom of Lo or Kingdom of io? I'm not finding shit besides The Rebirth of Kingdom Lo and endless search results for Kingdom of Loathing (which I have not played in ages).

>>1439 yeah The rebirth of kingdom of Lo

>>1463 i tried not to but the mc horny level must be too high

>>1462 I tried to play this but I couldn't continue as the sex scenes were complete shitass, like it actually made my dick limp, first time that ever happened.

>>1529 damn. i hope there other games out there

Alright I found a decent game in a while called Kon's Lesson! , not full kemono but who am I to complain at this point with how rare this genre is, the draws and animations are pretty fucking great and the game includes tail petting.

>>1605 I don't mind it personally, but that's most definitely /mg/ stuff rather than /kemono/

>>1605 Well, at least it ain't tail-pegging.

>>1122 Following up on an ancient post of mine, the next set features sharktits. The tiger was in 2 sets prior in a weird anti magic stone A team deck with the leader being a human trapped as a cuddly little tiger, a reverse weretiger I guess. The Shtick of the Sharkmaids here is that they mill their deck until they hit the depths and then they explode.

>>1672 To follow through there wasn't much good kemono art of the red werefox tribe after the initial spoiler with a significant portion of the card pool was art of their gear which is nice if you are into Bōsōzoku bikes and truck. Sadly Wednesday didn't understand the memo and drew the shark ruler as an anime gorgon. And it seems like Wu Xiaohu story arc is of humiliation: ninja turned into living plush, forced to wage, and then turning into a lap cat of a bat shit crazy but great mommy energy empress.

>>1672 cool sharks. the 1st and last are my favs

>>1693 >>1694 nigga thats NUTS
