What's the best system to play as a spider (or other

>>53689181
Have you considered Mouseguard?

>>53689181
FATE?

>>53689181
Why do special snowflakes want to play obvious NPC's. Its bad enough with vampires and shit but how would you even roleplay a spider?

Check out the Anasasi book from oWoD

Even if you dont like the system, or want to play a shifter there's a fuckton of spider lore from all sorts of cultures. Would certainly give you some ideas

>>53689181
Mouse Guard, for mice that is

Could someone please tell me how you roleplay as mindless animals apart from making them into literal furries?

>>53689756
Its not about being creative, being an animal is trying to locate, food, a place to sleep and a female to fuck. Nothing else.

It's possible, like here: >>53689730 if you have human characters moving the plot.

Also you don't need to turn them into furries, you can just 'humanize' them a little like pic related.

>>53689181
burning wheel has a race of sentient spider people with their own special web based abilities and different castes and societies.

Maybe a houseruled version of Bunnies and Burrows?

>>53689758
It's literally only jumping spiders that are cute. Every other spider is a horrifying abomination.

It's kind of sad that people like you are so terrified, so petrified of being accused of being a furry, that the idea of a Watership Down style campaign were a group of arachnids must save the local park from invading rats provokes scathing denials and refutations. You're denying yourself fun because you're scared someone might laugh at you, newsflash the normies are already laughing at us for playing tabletop games and have been for decades

>"Spiders weave a web -- a beautiful, intricate trap to catch it's prey," says Richmond. "As such, spiders are associated with manipulation. Depending on the rest of the dream, the spider may indicate that the dreamer is being manipulated or that the dreamer is the manipulator."

You need more detail than "spiders?" Because that's going to influence what system works best for the game you're going for.

Or just grab generic system of choice and reword things as needed.

>>53689855
Some tarantulas are pretty cool. Reading about them is how I managed to get my arachnophobia down to manageable levels.

Fuck wolf spiders and fast-moving ones that come near my bed though. I can tolerate web weavers that give me some room.

FATE is abstracted enough that you could play small animals without much if any modification of the system.

Spiders make great bards. They can restring their own instruments on the fly, they're really good dancers. And lets face it, if you can make camp with a giant spider, nothing in the dungeon is going to faze you.

I remember a thread with bardachnid using specially moulted skin as instruments.

>>53708467
Ah I knew I had copy it somewhere.
> They use the moulted skin as instruments. Music plays an important role in spider society.
> Their webs make for amazing harps and the moulted skin hardens and make for great drums.
> Some spiderfolk are chosen as bardachnid and sent out into the world to share their music with it. Some cities sent their bardachnids with stories of mysterious cities filled with treasure to lure people into their cities as a food source. Some spidercommunities aren't as malevolent however and befriend other kin. It's a great honor to receive a moultdrum and when a spiderbard dies it partially moults a final time and transforms itself into a living instrument. It's final spasms create a most sublime, yet disturbing melody that often haunts those witnessing this event for the rest of their lives. After the bard has died and the final note has played, the body is gifted to the closest friend. After a week of mourning, this friend is supposed to end this period by playing the harmonic husk, celebrating the deceased's life. Then a day and a night of feasting commences.

Unless... unless you're one of those social spiders. But then you will need more players!

Yeah, pretty much this, will need some finagling though, to make your own abilities and skills. It runs on a Burning Wheel Variant, btw, and the game itself is..low tech mouse jedi, basically.

Anyways, if you want more crunchy the guys who were talking about GURPS are right on, but that's going to take GM effort out the nose.

>>53712459
I planing to use a goblin spider as a Yoda personally.

>>53712967
Burning Wheel itself actually offers Giant Spiders as a fully playable race in the Monster Burner. They come in a variety of flavours from web-spinners straight outta Mirkwood to sea spiders hunting beneath the waves with and vary in size from dog to horse-sized monsters with iron hard chitin. There is a lot of flavour there and some really cool concepts.

Sadly they were cut from the Codex which updated a lot of old material for the current edition, but it's trivial to make them compatible with Gold.
