As the title says, when you play TTRPGs, how often do you use socialist themes?

Personally, I was able to run a long-form Blades in the Dark campaign where the players were involved in a proto-communist uprising. It was a good setting/system to explore these ideas. I’m curious if other folks have tried, and if they’ve had success.

Of course, there are games about explicit socialist ( Comrades , Beat the Boss ) and anti-fascist ( SIGMATA, MoonPunk ) struggle, as well as plenty of indie games with clear progressive streaks.

Had a lot of fun playing a protocommunist kobold once (great way to run a high int character when you’re normal int yourself in an early industrial revolution setting is to have them simply invent Marxism). Also modded cities skylines to put a massive concrete statue of my fursona up

Tabletop Rpg posts, content, and recruitment posts.

Recruitment posts should contain what system is being played, CW for any adult/serious themes players need to be aware of and whether a game is beginner friendly.

An obvious reminder of no racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia and transphobia.

Emphasis on small independent rpgs like the ones in the TTRPGs for Trans Rights in Texas but not against dnd stuff.
