I am a huge fan of tabletop rpgs, especially of the indie variety (PBTA et al.). I think it's one of the highest forms of gaming since it is so responsive to a particular group of people and the stories they want to tell, which creates a lot of potential for cool leftist gaming experiences and stories. However, I haven't been able to find time to run a game for a few years (and I struggle playing solo rpgs since it's basically just creative writing) so I wanted to hear from chapos that are (or have been) in a campaign so I can live vicariously through you.

What game are you playing? What's your character (or favourite NPC) like? Any highlights from your campaign? Are you living out a revolutionary power fantasy or playing a chill "beer and pretzels" type game?

    Did a Pathfinder campaign a while back where my friend's standard sword and sorcery characters got sent to an alternative version of Earth where the villain of the campaign taught the Nazis magic

    The Nazis then proceeded to block out the sun, raise an army of ghouls and other undead and attempted to shatter the fabric of reality to make themselves an inevitable component of existence

    Of course, the heroes (with lots of help from the Red Army) manage to beat them all and kill the fuck out of Hitler, even though he was riding stop the Invincible Reichsdragon.

    Good times had by all
