        D&D these days is like the centrist RPG, with a little a essentialism as a treat. Pathfinder is the lefty rpg, and the alt right has about a zillion indie RPGs that nobody's ever actually played but one of Gary Gygax's kids tried to make one and it pissed everyone off and sank his prospects in the industry which is funny.

            Was, for the most part, because Games Workshop over time as a corporation saw who butters most of their bread. :homer-bye:

          Part of the adventure in F.A.T.A.L. is trying to read the rulebook.

            I totally see what you're seeing, in fact it's driven me out of certain parts of the TTRPG space because the only thing you can really do is try to cultivate a group of cool players who won't bring a bunch of cryptofash baggage into your game. IRL I play with friends I have in real life who are slightly left sympathetic but mostly apolitical, and online I play with either a group I recruited on this website or one that's paying for it.
