Welcome, stranger!
Somewhere past the last good search engine there is a world called the Geoglades, and something in it is about to hatch.
Faux Paws is a creature-collecting virtual world built in the spirit of the web we grew up on — the one with tiled backgrounds, guild pages held together by hand-written HTML, and a newspaper written entirely by twelve-year-olds.
Every Fauxling is generated from a real trait genome, so no two are alike and breeding is genuinely unpredictable. Raise them, breed them, argue with people about them in a forum. The usual.
◆ Hatching, breeding and the forums are all open. ◆
