Furry role-playing games are role-playing games that prominently feature anthropomorphic animal characters and consequently are popular within furry fandom. This does not include all games that feature shapeshifting or animals in some fashion.
Furry RPGs include text-based online games (MUDs, MUCKs, MUSHes, etc.), role-playing games, card games, and both online and single-player computer games that include graphics.
