Possible pipeline idea: Explicitly leftist tabletop club the links up the terminally online with labor organizers and uses one-off games as a method of teaching people how to organize. It’s basically corporate retreat roleplay exercises but actually fun and voluntary.

    I wonder what the premise of the scenarios would be? I'm sure there's plenty of good stories to rip off already of out there.

      I think some of it would just regular games. Have an actual TTRPG community that happens to be leftists. Then there would community events where players or DMs would be labor organizers. Instead of an AMA where you ask questions, here they can show you what it actually looks like. We had that one AMA with Abby from the IWW and I saw her talking about salting an Amazing warehouse at one point. That would make an awesome short campaign

        You would realistically wanna write a pro-leftist, labor organizing module that people can run.

          Yeah the system also needs to support the fact that majority of the encounters will be social-based. While being able to roleplay shooting cops may be cathartic in regards to any practical application you would need to have something that allows people to roleplay a conversation that would happen.

      @quartz242 just proposed:

      The four PCs are all employess at the amazon processing facility, and run encounters of the job itself but also having social encounters with NPC workers, or a boss who is going thru the guilt trip shit when they find out about your union drive.

      Sounds pretty fun to me
