What Is the Furry Fandom?
This is an easy question to answer....at first. However, once you think about it, things get a little bit tricky. For instance, if furries are a fandom, what is it that we are fans of?

Artemis
The Artemis™ Starship Bridge Simulator Have you ever watched an episode of Star Trek™ and wished that you could have worked on the bridge of the Enterprise™? Wanted to pilot the starship like Sulu, to fire the weapons like Worf, to provide sensor information like Data, or even to command the whole ship like Janeway? The Artemis Starship Bridge Simulator gives you an opportunity to do just that! Groups of players take control of stations on a virtual starship bridge, working together to defend the starbases of the sector from invading aliens! Each station has information no other station has, and can command the ship in ways no other station can, so communication between the players and between the captain is crucial. Notably, the captain has no controls at all, relying on the rest of crew to correctly operate the ship and to display what information is needed on the main screen. The controls of each station are easy to learn, while still providing much opportunity for mastery. The positions available are Helm, Weapons, Science, Communications, and Engineering, as well as the Captain, and there are some ship classes that also allow players to fly independently controllable fighter craft as well! Open all day, 12PM-10PM, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with new flights every hour! Training missions are available at 12PM and 5PM daily.

Valor presents Isekai/Online!
Tomorrow is when the immensely popular Another World Online gets its immersive VR patch? ...You've seen enough anime to know where this is going. You're a bunch of poorly trained average MMO nerds trapped in the game world. The good news is you're not the only ones trapped here and you've got all the powers of your 'toon's class and level. This is also the bad news. Prepare to face the monsters, the griefers, and the secrets of... Isekai/Online, with Valor! Valor is a tactical, crunchy game of the hypest anime battles. Grab a character, embrace the Shonen Jump cheese, and prepare to fight together as a team! Inspired by Log Horizon, Final Fantasy 14, and the hours I wasted on Maplestory. Emphatically not inspired by Sword Art Online.

Artemis
The Artemis™ Starship Bridge Simulator Have you ever watched an episode of Star Trek™ and wished that you could have worked on the bridge of the Enterprise™? Wanted to pilot the starship like Sulu, to fire the weapons like Worf, to provide sensor information like Data, or even to command the whole ship like Janeway? The Artemis Starship Bridge Simulator gives you an opportunity to do just that! Groups of players take control of stations on a virtual starship bridge, working together to defend the starbases of the sector from invading aliens! Each station has information no other station has, and can command the ship in ways no other station can, so communication between the players and between the captain is crucial. Notably, the captain has no controls at all, relying on the rest of crew to correctly operate the ship and to display what information is needed on the main screen. The controls of each station are easy to learn, while still providing much opportunity for mastery. The positions available are Helm, Weapons, Science, Communications, and Engineering, as well as the Captain, and there are some ship classes that also allow players to fly independently controllable fighter craft as well! Open all day, 12PM-10PM, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with new flights every hour! Training missions are available at 12PM and 5PM daily.

Artemis
The Artemis™ Starship Bridge Simulator Have you ever watched an episode of Star Trek™ and wished that you could have worked on the bridge of the Enterprise™? Wanted to pilot the starship like Sulu, to fire the weapons like Worf, to provide sensor information like Data, or even to command the whole ship like Janeway? The Artemis Starship Bridge Simulator gives you an opportunity to do just that! Groups of players take control of stations on a virtual starship bridge, working together to defend the starbases of the sector from invading aliens! Each station has information no other station has, and can command the ship in ways no other station can, so communication between the players and between the captain is crucial. Notably, the captain has no controls at all, relying on the rest of crew to correctly operate the ship and to display what information is needed on the main screen. The controls of each station are easy to learn, while still providing much opportunity for mastery. The positions available are Helm, Weapons, Science, Communications, and Engineering, as well as the Captain, and there are some ship classes that also allow players to fly independently controllable fighter craft as well! Open all day, 12PM-10PM, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with new flights every hour! Training missions are available at 12PM and 5PM daily.
