It's called Weird War II, user, and it's awesome.

Hmm, simple mistake really.

Nazis killed millions as a sacrifice to repower long gone norse gods. They didn't account for the current Zeitgeist and their own desires transfigurating the deities. I think that one used to be Tuisco, progenitor of the germanic peoples.

At the foreground, the yankees tried to do something similar after secretly distributing soulcatcher dogtags to their soldiers. The top brass aren't sure how to classify it, but it comes and goes, fighting opression with cannons of righteous lightning. The soldiers been calling it "Uncle Samuel". It seems to mix american beliefs, judaic revenge, thunderbird folklore and the Old Testament.

2016.

Hillary has won the election.

Get ready to be freedomed extra hard, nazi motherfluffer!

We fight back.

Is this supposed to be german or what? I legit can't tell

It's German WWII propaganda from 1945, when the US was invading Europe.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Liberators-Kultur-Terror-Anti-Americanism-1944-Nazi-Propaganda-Poster.jpg

It's still fucking confusing. What the hell's up with the KKK hood? and more importatnly, the fuck is that person in the foreground

Well, you know, lynching. The cartoon was made to convince Europeans to fight on the Nazis' side against the American invaders. I guess it was very much a "throw everything at the wall and hope it sticks" kind of deal.

(I especially like two black dudes dancing in the cage with the caption "The Jitterbug - Triumph of Culture" under them.)

Still confusing that the nazis would try that shit

I think it's less "they're racists" than "they're lawless uncultured rabble."

Reminder that Nazis are only racist if you consider jews humans.

And gypsies

>Fought to the very end
>Blew his own brains out

>Aryan master race
>Gets beaten by niggers, slavs, jews, italians, irish, squints, [Insert Race Here that triggers naziboos]
>LITERALLY allies with japs and non aryans

Tip Top Kek

...

>the fuck is that person in the foreground

His sign says something like 'The USA will save european culture' (in dutch - I presume the poster was made for occupied Holland?). His large ears and passive attitude to the destruction of the city makes me think he represents those who listened to Allied 'propaganda' about liberating Europe.

Yeah, it was apparently made for Dutch propaganda efforts.

Also lol at the guy trying to tell everyone the Nazis weren't racist you guys! (Except for all the "subhumans" they were racist against. Probably including that user, pic related)

His head looks like a hard candy in it's wrapper

This thread is going to be pleasant. I can tell.

Im so sick of you fucking americans living out your nazi fantasies

>W-we're the strongest in the w-world! L-le ep-epic ubermensch!"
>Lose the first and only war you fought.

Take Scott Westerfield's 'Leviathan' and make it about WWII instead of WWI. Also make the Germans the ones that fuck will biology while the British construct enormous steam-powered mecha tanks.

Just play GODLIKE already

Surprised nobody here recognizes the old air raid helmets. Basically it was a giant helmet with audio instruments in the ears, idea was to turn someone into a audio based aircraft radar to warn of incoming air raids.

The design is super awesome and creepy, which is why video games use it fro, time to time.

>Leviathan
my good-fellow-whom-I-cannot-think-up-a-good-reference-to-call-him-with

got an image handy? I'm not sure what to search for.

Go on /x/ and look/ask around about Nazis in Antarctica, and Neuschwabenland. The theories on that have gotten really out there. If you do such a campaign, you gotta put in some sort of system for esoteric Nazi magic ala Wolfenstein

I've only read the first one since the author came into my school years back to talk about it are the rest worth reading?

oops meant for

Finnish if i remember correctly.

>Did you see the frightened ones
>Did you hear the falling bombs
>The flames are all long gone
>But the pain lingers on

Those?

Good call.

and slavs
and gypsies
and mongols
and a bunch of other races.

wolfenstein but cranked up to 11. The nazis found a way to use thier occult bullshit, fused with nazi-science they create a whole army of demonic-nazi-monsters that they use to fight the war. The allies at first fight them using normal things they have around. Nazis push the allies out of europe, but are stoped by the americans from invading by atlantis magic which was somehow found and pulled from the deep. In 20 year evangelion starts but instead of aliens we have nazis

I dont like a setting where you try to balance factions by giving the other side similiar tech/occult etc. You can make the cranked up setting by putting the date at 1945 during the battle of berlin. Where nazis found a way to bring back the dead/occult etc and supplemented it with new tech that is improving bit by bit.
This way nazis wont have a huge dominance over everyone and allies would have to find new ways to counter the nazis by using conventional weapons.
It will be a race against time for the allies that way, if nazis take back their territories , have time to improve on their tech , bring more occult stuff it will be over for the allies But you can stop them as they are growing.

So, basically the plot of Über.

What's weather like back in 1981?

>It took all of you to beat me? Wooooooow

>Start a barfight because your an asshole
>The whole bar gang up you
>"Hah! It took the whole bar to beat me!"

Probably but i dont see a problem with that.

>Hitler wasted loads of money on Wunderwaffen
>"What if one of them was actually worth the investment?"
>Hitler was obsessed with race as a biological fact
Genetic manipulation to turn German men into giant supersoldiers. Voilà.

Yes. Those books are fucking criminally underrated. I wish they managed to get some cult following, enough for a quality movie or at least more adult Avatar style cartoon. The way the story goes would be perfect for one of those adventure oriented, kind of dark kind of light hearted Harry Potter kind of thing.

...

This is good

>Join the brotherhood

The brotherhood of steel is so xenophobic.

>xenophobic
A buzzword describing the natural state of humanity. When are we going to describe the entirely rational fear of bullets as ballophobia?

This is correct, xenophobic is a natural reaction to people who do not share your culture.

That doesn't make it right or good.

When a male chimpanzee takes over a troop it eats the babies of the previous alpha. I guess its okay to cannibalize infants because it's natural. Would you like some all natural rattlesnake venom injected into your veins as well?

Can someone tell me the origin of this? I'm legit curious to see what bullshit it came from.

It is proven to be good, what your argument shows is that you are more concerned with being seen as good than doing good.

You are able to help far more people, far more effectively by housing them in a culture like their own. In the Middle East.

Our argument is not refusing to help, but doing so in a manner that does not detract from our future.

Those rare few who attend college and education are desirable immigrants, and must be welcomed with open arms, but they are less than 1%. The rest are a net loss to the nation and would be served far better by foreign aid send to neighboring nations to build housing for them.

Achtung Cthulhu maybe?

>Cthulhu
>Not cTHULEu

I'm sure you know there is already a comic running with this exact theme. It's called Uber.

Terraformars. Just happens to have a character named Adolf who actually was torn apart to save that lady. By giant human cockroaches of all things.

How is the rest of his writing? I only read his not!Vampire ones back when YA was only starting to take off as a genre, and it was pretty damn good compared to its "le edgy teens save the world from corrupt adults" contemporaries.

>Blew his own brains out
I'm not sure even that happened. All the material evidence suggests only a woman dies in that bunker, save for a single photo which shows a man doesn't look much like Hitler
>inb4 rigor mortis
it's possible, but rigor mortis only warps the body so much.

>When a male chimpanzee takes over a troop it eats the babies of the previous alpha. I guess its okay to cannibalize infants because it's natural.
Yes, if you happen to be a chimpanzee.

>When a male chimpanzee takes over a troop it eats the babies of the previous alpha. I guess its okay to cannibalize infants because it's natural

You are cannibalizing your children's future for the sake of some mildly pleasant now, that is far more comparable to your poorly worded metaphor.

You mean other than fucked?

Terrifying. The setting is terrifying and thoroughly fucked.

Think Attack on Titan but with Nazi titans. WITH NAZI TITAN TECHNOLOGY

the british shouldn't have stopped at dresden

>when the US was invading Europe.
lmao i hope you just worded that badly

Is that FRD's head?

Shouldn't it be Churchill's?

both the RAF and UAAF participated

Even Churchill told Harris to take a chill pill in regards to Dresden. That was after the public backlash on the home front had become a fact, though.

Wouldn't that be against Nazi ideology, since german genes are already supposed to be perfect and the best?

No, we were invading Nazi-controlled Europe, it's the correct term for moving military forces into territory that you don't control.

Good thing it's natural for male chimpanzees and not humans then.

I agree! Also, vaccinations are only bloating our population by propping up the weak.

Pretty sure you're thinking of lions, as for the rattlesnake comment...wut?

>The whole world
>Barring Italy, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Japan
>Still lost

>French fought against nearly all of Europe with their only allies being countries they defeated and forced into alliance
>Still won five times in a row

Why are Germans so shitty at war?

To be fair if I'm getting bitten by a rattlesnake, it's probably my fault in the first place.

Napoleon believed politics were too important to be left to mere politicians, Hitler believed that generals aren't the most qualified tot wage war.

>Occultic Third Reich
>Das ressurected Teutonic Knight
>Mein Norse mythic waifu guardians
>Eine holy crasaders und relics
>All equiped mit fein gewher of Vaterland!
tl;dr
undead knights with guns wearing cool hats

They'd have to actually have a concept of hypocrisy for that to be a thing.

...

For (You).

>Imagine this image is a real event. What is the setting like
It wouldn't be that scary. That thing looks like it can only crawl and slowly. It big easy target for artillery, navy and air force.

Its only scary because they send one lone fighter to intercept it on this picture.

But only germans are not human, thats why its ok to kill them.

Or After Ragnarok with a bit of tweaking

>talks about the Brotherhood of Steel being Xenophobic
>When Lyons was in charge
I bet you're a supermutant.

H-how would one go about making a Pure Wolf...?

rickey rouse!
ronald ruck!

Have it go wrong and lead to a three-way war as the genetically enhanced treated the original Germans just the way they'd been taught to treat inferior races.

>Windows, not Linux

I'm not getting on that thing.

>Nazi-based campaign setting thread
>not a single mention of The Man in the High Castle
Shame on all of you.

user here, and yes, the rest are worth reading. I would say that the last book in the series does feel like it's dragging on a bit, but even then, I

A) still loved it
B) haven't read the book in a while, so I might be wrong, and that might just be me remembering my feeling of wanting to find out what happens at the end, and blowing it out from that.

Either way, the series is criminally underrated; good characters, good story, interesting setting, and fucking gorgeous art - Keith Thompson is a master of his craft. Hell, the books are part of what got me off my ass and into writing my own stories.

Go out and get the first book, at least; the art alone it well worth it.

I do actually have the first book kicking around somewhere, and about the art, I remember him describing the style as "What if the Victorians did Manga", so it incorporates techniques from both.
I will for sure give the other ones a look.

Time travelers back their chosen sides in a proxy war. The Caliphate (Allies) and Resistance (Axis) offering futuristic technologies.

>>Gets beaten by slavs
FTFY

Everyone else just helped, read a fucking history book some time kid.

Sorry. We have taste

Decades of globalization create a massive global underclass which elites rule over with an iron fist. The future is a hellish landscape of red tape and corporate debauchery. The planet is rapidly heading into a global ecological disaster, sea levels are rising (despite fossil fuels being banned in western countries) and drought is consuming arable farmland. Infrastructure is starting to break down, most major cities no longer have regular trash collection, highways are filled with potholes and trains don't run. The blue helmets find themselves increasingly isolated into their joint bases and suburbs, which now resemble castles more than anything else.

The game begins outside of Cincinnati, where a failed painter decides to take matters into his own hands. After 3d printing a gun he and his comrades decide they are going to resurrect the state of Ohio (which is now folded into a greater Great Lakes Metropolitan District). Events include:

1. Liberating Kelleys Hill recycling facility, which overseas the vast dust bowl/landfill that used to be Lake Erie.
2. Siege of Global Robotics Inc's Akron Assembly, giving the rebels control over many automated security bots, trucks and a tank production plant
3. Liberating the Elkton Detainment Center, the UN prison for the region
4. Liberating the abandoned subway tunnels underneath Cincinnati, presently being used as greenhouses
5. Siege of Columbus Government Center (where the statehouse used to be, presently a giant brutalist concrete mess used by the UN)
6. Liberating the abandoned subway tunnels underneath Cincinnati, presently being used as greenhouses
7. Siege of the Cincinnati Government Center (where Union Station used to be, presently a giant blue glass cube)
8. Siege of the Freedom Bank Tower in Cleveland
9. Stealing the biological weapons buried underneath Wright UNAFB outside Dayton
10. Liberating and reprogramming the Northeastern Telecommunications Exchange, which causes all the remaining automated UN security in the region to be friendly while disabling UN-operated weapons within Ohio. The facility itself is a giant concrete block located outside of Portsmouth.

I realize this may sound more cyberpunk than nazi, but just imagine cyber nazis instead of regular nazis.

There are two groups of time traveling backers, each from the future in a timeline where the side they're supporting won the war. If their opponent wins, they never get a chance to exist in the first place.

"The Nazi myth which is important ... [to] men like Hitler requires a Götterdämmerung..." - U.S. War Department Counterintelligence Assessment, Feb. 12, 1945

Patton’s death in September didn’t do it, although the wilder-eyed addicts in the Wewelsburg basement claimed that Skorzeny’s “Operation Walküre” had changed things, that the American general was “the rope of the Norns,” somehow tied to past and future in a way that others weren’t. His breaking, they swore, signaled the new Twilight. But the Bulge ground to a halt in sight of the Moselle, and Montgomery slowly pushed the Wehrmacht back across the Ardennes.

Not to worry, swore the Ahnenerbe men, sweating out the amphetamines and stinking of extinct herbs pulled from Finnish bogs. The Norns’ rope was broken. Things would be different. Montgomery swept into Lübeck, and Bradley’s armor growled closer to Nuremberg, and Zhukov smashed across the Oder, and the sun of July rose over a prostrate Reich. Wagner’s Götterdämmerung played on Berlin Radio night and day, and the smoke blotted out the stars.

And then it happened; the whole world heard the howl of Garm, and the moon was eclipsed in blood. The head of Jörmungandr, the Midgard Serpent, 350 miles across, breached the surface of the Arabian Sea and rose up into the troposphere. Its first lunge destroyed three troop convoys and their escort carriers, swallowed in one bite 100 miles south of the Azores. A coil of the Serpent now stretched across Africa from Mogadishu to Morocco. When the head reared up again off Vigo Bay, it gulped down the U.S.S. Essex and TF 24, and paused to splinter a few hundred thousand tons of shipping.

President Truman gave the go-ahead, and a lone B-29 took off from Iceland. Its original target had been Berlin, but Captain Joseph Westover had new orders. He, and the crew of the Strange Cargo, were to seek out and engage the Midgard Serpent with the Trinity Device. On July 21, 1945, spotter planes for “Operation John Henry” zeroed the Strange Cargo in on the Serpent, its head 20,000 feet above Oslo and moving southeast at 80 knots. Captain Westover was an ace pilot, capable of flying a plane through something much smaller than a snake’s pupil 500 yards across. The Device detonated, tearing a piece of the Sun down from heaven and destroying the Serpent’s brain in a torrent of atomic fire. Westover and his crew died instantly. Jörmungandr took a little bit longer than that.

The polar vortex drove strong high easterlies that day, and a plume of radioactive venom hit the upper atmosphere and headed west. It slowly fell out of the sky into clouds and storms, twisters and waterspouts, all headed west. Dark crimson rain fell from Dublin to Denver. Where it struck, the seas boiled and the earth drank poison. And things engendered, mutated horrors born of dragon’s blood and broken strontium atoms. Some coiled down to the sea’s depths; others clumped together and pulled apart ships. Some climbed or flopped or skittered or slunk from swamps and sewers and gutters and ponds and everywhere else rain ran in eastern North America. And some people and beasts drank from those pools and reservoirs before they knew, and some people’s blood changed and they knew it not. Or at least not yet.

But it hardly mattered, not at first, because the fall of the Serpent’s body back into the Atlantic sent up a wall of water a hundred miles high that smashed into the coast from Halifax to Havana. New York, Washington, Boston, Charleston, Philadelphia, Miami (and poor low-sunk New Orleans) all drowned. Montreal and Cleveland and Chicago, and Veracruz and Houston and Caracas, were merely battered. Salt water, flecked with venomous foam, lapped against the Appalachians.

Should I keep dumping this setting?

A hero of his country about to commit the ultimate sacrifice to protect mankind at large from a dangerous line of thought that will ultimately result in extinction.

On the other side, a dude on a plane called 'freedom'. Only those that didn't give in to the lies perpetuated by the people running the world from the shadows, the Servants of the Six Pointed Star, know the word printed on the plane is ironic.

Please do. What happened to the dragon munching on Yggdrasil's roots? I think it has a role in the Ragnarok too.
