You and your little band of friends are trying hard to survive, learn, and grow despite the constant external threats. Even if the massive beasts don't eat you, disease and parasites are a concern. Luckily, herbalists and healers skilled at laying on hands are there to help you stay well. The main problem is that you are going to need to go out among the dangerous beasts to gather herbs and collect food. Weapons aren't an option, all you can do is outwit and out plan the enemy!

Did I mention you're a bunny? Welcome to Bunnies And Burrows, the fantasy game in which you play an intelligent rabbit. This game has been through two main versions over the years:
* First/Second Edition: Published in 1976, it uses a percentile system similar to 2nd edition AD&D
* GURPS Bunnies and Burrows: Published in 1992, it uses GURPS as the system. Bunnies and Burrows has long been recognized as an very inventive game. It was the very first roleplaying system to allow non humanoid characters, the first game to have a Martial Arts combat system (called Bun Fu), and the first game to attempt a skill system. Everything has been built with common sense and realism in mind. A lot of research went into the books and all illnesses, problems, and anatomical difficulties outlined are accurate. When it was released, it was considered "light years" more advanced than Dungeons and Dragons. However, nobody took the game seriously because it's about bunnies. With no weapons, mythical creatures, or unrealistic magics, players were at a loss for what you could do inside the game. Many were mystified that you could make an epic adventure with rabbits and dismissed the idea as "too silly". However, the Bunnies and burrows carries on as a cult classic due to it's inventiveness, unique gameplay, and the fact it's all about bunnies. The game can be downloaded here!
