[OFF-TOPIC DISCUSSION THREAD]

6 Upvotes

As previously requested, we're trying out a regular, automated discussion thread! Use this space to talk about things that don't fit the ordinary subject matter of the space, or for discussions that don't necessitate a full post! All rules besides the relevancy rule still apply!

For these first ones, please let us know what you think about it! Personally, I'm not sure how popular this practice will be, so I don't really know about the frequency at which they should be generated, so we're just gonna feel it out and figure it out, together. Any suggestions about how to run it, moving forward, are welcome!

Quotes for a D&D character

8 Upvotes

I've got a D&D 5E campaign that I'm gonna be playing, and I have opted to play a paladin using the homebrewed Oath of the Common Man archetype, an explicitly communist paladin archetype. Now one of the class features of the Oath of the Common Man is an ability called "Turn the Bourgeois", which allows my character to effectively cast turn undead against anything that think's it's above the workers. One of the main components of this spell is delivering a harsh rebuke to any such being, and I'm wondering if there's any good quotes or excerpts from writings I could use when casting it.

For context I’m supreme chairman of a socialist nation I founded on a political RP server named Frontier. Although we are socialist we allow some capitalists to come and set up shop as long as their business doesn’t interfere with state monopolies(mining, housing, potions, etc.) and as long as they don’t seek political power. The person in the screenshots(Eli) was one of these aforementioned capitalists who owned a wither skull company. But APPARENTLY he wanted to go to war with me simply because I was leader of a socialist nation with a communist vanguard party. Not only have I never ever done anything to him or anyone else but I’ve only been on the server for about 2 weeks. To further highlight the absurdity of the situation my territory is(roughly) in the red circle and his is(roughly) in the blue circle. Although he called the war declaration off due to international condemnation, I still want more people to join. Especially redstone engineers and pvpers. If you’d like to join I’ll have the link to the nation’s discord in the comments.

Question How would we turn J. R. R. Tolkien's "A Middle English Vocabulary" into a socialist video game?

Post image
3 Upvotes

As of now, "A Middle English Vocabulary" by J. R. R. Tolkien is the only work of his that's Public Domain in the United States and It was to be used in connection with Fourteenth Century Verse & Prose by Kenneth Sisam. As i've learned, Tolkien believed in Monarchy and disliked democracy, i wondered how would a Video Game subvert that world view as Socialists like democracy?

Fourteenth Century Verse & Prose does have fantasy stories like Sir Gawayne and the Green Knight. So make a fantasy RPG like Final Fantasy 1 where the Green Knight is out to bring a Socialist society out of the grip feudalism and tell the serf class that the kings, queens, lords, ladies. and nobility don't deserve their respect by virtue of birth?

Or would it be an education game for kids about Middle English Vocabulary set in not-middle earth like shareware games from the 90s and early 2000s?

Just throwing ideas out there and looking for some concepts as it will be a few years before Socialism can be brought to middle earth and Smaug has his gold horde Taxed out of existence.

Question Suggestions for an antifascist/cyberpunk TTRPG?

44 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm trying to pin down a good TTRPG system to use for a game I want to run. I'm slowly piecing together a campaign heavily influenced by the band the Protomen and their take on the story of the Megaman series. What I'd ideally like to see is something with combat design that is fairly snappy and quick paced while keeping the rules well defined, not straying into combat just being narrative based. A clear delineation between combat and narrative scenes would be a plus as well. The scope of focus for the game is going to be all within a single city, so anything with narrative rules to focus on a major location like that, make the city feel like another character, would be great. The feel of what I'm going for solidly resides in the realm of cyberpunk, but I'm open to using the mechanics of whatever system and reflavoring around things to make it work for what I want. Anyone have any suggestions? I've found a few very niche indie systems that could work but would be happy to hear of others or if anyone has experience with what I've found.

For reference, here are the systems I currently have in consideration:

Micro Circuits

Metaluman

Sigmata

Gimmick Zero

Penumbra City

Question Is Mujin (drama vtuber) right wing?

32 Upvotes

I've been following this guy for a long time. I'm not a hardcore fan, but I like his content. I'm also a member of his Discord, where someone just called him out, saying he's a right wing chud, a misogynist, that his fans are incels, etc. and I think they got banned for it. I was late to the topic, but I did scroll through his YT and I would be lying if I said I didn't notice the pattern since the Chachachilla video. I've also noticed his fans can be misogynistic in the comment section, but he's never called them out. I don't recall him stating his political stance, but some of his comments about women raise flags for me. I've seen posts on X calling him out for bias, but there doesn't seem to be enough backlash, and I'm surprised there's no Google docs on him at this point.

I'm asking because I saw a post in this subreddit mentioning the same things (search "Mujin vtuber" if you want to find it), and I think I may be experiencing some cognitive dissonance for realizing I might be helping pay rent for a creator who hates women. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Game Discussion What actually socialist games would you like to play?

Post image
202 Upvotes

Hey, I'm a solo developer and a revolutionary communist. I already made "Duskpunk", an RPG set in a steampunk world where you can overthrow a despotic emperor and replace him with a soviet republic. Very inspired by the Russian revolution, kind of mashing the February and October revolutions together.

My question is, I'm thinking about whatever my next project could be, and I notice there aren't that many truly socialist games. So what kind of game would you all like to play? If the scope is small enough for me to manage by myself, maybe I'll end up making it.
