Feathers and Fur

Owlbears. Known as Magical Beasts to many, what is the true nature of the Owlbear? What are the stories that Owlbears have been yearning to tell, from the first time an adventuring party found one standing over a pile of gold in an obscure corner of a dungeon? Who, I ask who, will champion the cause of the poor Owlbear?

You will. This game is about how you, the adolescent Owlbear, will find himherself – all without the use of thumbs. This is your time to shine, poor misunderstood Owlbear! And shine you will. Read on!

Feathers & Fur is a Fantasy Adventure Game for 3 or more players.

Finding Treasure

If you defeat a Wandering Monster, on the next cycle, in that room, you get to roll on the Random Treasure Table. This is a piece of treasure that you have to leave behind because you don’t have thumbs.

Luckily, you can use the promises of treasure you leave behind to help you out with Wandering Monsters. By checking off one of your treasures, you can add a +1 to the skill you use in an encounter. Once checked off, you can’t use a treasure again.

Any other player can spend an Interruption Token to force you to face another Wandering Monster. This counts as facing it the first time ? so, if you want to check for Treasure, you need to beat this Wandering Monster and then do it on your next turn, like normal.
