Realms of Pugmire
Dogs and cats have inherited the world, building nations thousands of years after the Ages of Man. These dogs and cats have been changed to use tools and language, and they (along with other races of uplifted animals) seek to rediscover the world they’ve inherited. Some use the leftover technology of humanity, but they believe it all to be magic. Others seek to create an ideal civilization, using information compiled from ancient, fragmentary lore. The world is dangerous and mysterious, but courageous dogs and clever cats will persevere.
The Realms of Pugmire is a light-hearted and family-friendly fantasy world. It’s one of Onyx Path’s creator-owned games, produced in a partnership with Eddy Webb and Pugsteady. Combining the ideas, passion, and creativity of experienced designers with decades of experience in producing quality roleplaying game products, these creator-owned games push the boundaries of the “Onyx Path brand” in new and diverse directions.

At last January’s MidWinter Convention, I was amazed at how quickly the Pugmire playtesters gravitated to the small bits of setting info available for the playtest. Specifically, the first tenet of the Code of Man: “By a good dog.” During the course of several hours, the playtesters uttered, snarled, shouted, and whispered that phrase as … Read more
First off, check out the new Pugmire image that Rich put together for the website. It really sells both the sense of exploration and of mourning that I love about Pugmire. Wait, mourning? Yes. But I’ll get to that in a bit. One question I get regularly is whether Pugmire is a joke. Given that … Read more
It’s been a couple of months since we’ve had more than one open dev post in a given week! I blame the winter blahs. Fortunately the season’s almost over, and things seem to be picking up a bit more as we head further into 2015’s development cycle. In case you missed any, open dev posts … Read more
I recently passed another milestone on Pugmire. I took the material I cobbled together for the Midwinter playtests and started rewriting it all from scratch in Scrivener. After a few weeks of sneaking time over nights and weekends to write, rewrite, and redesign furiously, I have enough in place that I can hand the material over to other … Read more
I’m trying to keep Pugmire posts to once a month or less, but since Rich mentioned that I just passed a milestone in development, I wanted to share my thoughts. For those that don’t know, last weekend I ran the first playtests of Pugmire. This was the first time I’ve ever played the game with people that aren’t me, … Read more
The past few weeks, in between a variety of other projects, I’ve written up what I call a “vertical slice” of Pugmire. It’s a document in which all of the key systems are fleshed out just enough to test them. That’s led to a number of revision passes as things break when I try to use them, … Read more
Today I want to talk a little more about Pugmire. But first I want to talk about the dog in this picture. This is Sanford. He is a rescue pug that we are fostering while we help him get to his forever home, and as I type this he’s playing with a squeaky toy behind me in … Read more
(The image attached to the post is what I got when I searched for “dog armor” on Wikipedia Commons, as there isn’t any art for Pugmire yet. Consider it “inspirational” rather than an actual art direction.) Waaaaaay back in August, Rich and I announced Pugmire for the first time at GenCon. It’s a new creator-owned fantasy game (specifically, owned by my … Read more
