I forgot all about this, particularly the part where my kid was insensible with laughter as she tried to reason out the most prosaic and therefore most horrific version of this scenario
Okay it lacks the element of “full-size bear sitting on a human and attempting to control the human”, but you and your kid should know about the one-shot RPG Honey Heist, which does feature bears wearing hats so as to pass unnoticed among humans. gshowitt.itch.io/honey-heist
Nice! I almost wrote “(if you’re not already)” as I thought you might be familiar.
One of my all-time favorite game sessions ever was the game of Honey Heist I played at Go Play NW 2019. My bear was “unhinged”, which I played as high-energy scatterbrained, and was SO MUCH FUN.
My favourite bit in our game was where the players had to unlock a vault using palm prints from two specific taxidermied bears
That's right, they needed to have the right two bear arms
