Are there any right-wing RPGs/RPG settings? I don't mean "settings written decades ago that are now considered right-wing by contemporary standards". I mean ones written by right-wing developers that actually had their worldview leak into it.
There's plenty of left-wing ones: Blue Rose, Eclipse Phase, anything Onyx Path/White Wolf, etc.But the only right-wing RPG I can think of MYFAROG.
Why do you feel the need to be jerked off even in fantasyland?
It's a legitimate question and I only thought of it because of how many RPG settings are published with an explicitly left-wing bent.

This isn't a /pol/ thread.
Right-wingers generally don't have the imagination or worldview required to play roleplaying games, let alone to design some of their own. The only example I can think of is Racial Holy War, maybe FATAL.
Well right wing people don't tend to create anything imaginative so probably not. Creativity and progress is an almost entirely left wing institution
Any RPG based off Middle Earth or the Cthulhu Mythos.
Conan
Myfarog according to some
Right-wing RPGs don't exist because all it would do is generate backlash with no gain. If you make a left-wing RPG you can expect rpg.net and the like to promote it, and for a few people to buy it just for its political message. Do the exact opposite and you"ll be paddling up shit creek without a paddle.
Right-wing people also don't see the personal as political. Critical theory is left-wing. So when right-wing people make a RPG it will be apolitical, or at least not be made with the conscious intent for it to be right-wing.
He asked for right-wing RPGs, not left-wing circle jerk myths.
What does that even mean.
RPG settings where there are set hierarchies that are viewed as "good" and the right way things should be, which place strong value on the traditional family ties of wherever it is set, are vaguely monarchist and support a mercantile capitalist economy?
Thats like, every RPG setting.
Or at least any setting with a leveling system, not hilariously evil monarchy, real god or gods and multiple shops with a currency.
The closest I can think of is 40k where a conservative astro government is good.
Also thread is full of triggered nu-males.

>Are there any right-wing RPGs/RPG settings?
Most JRPGS would fit neatly into this category, which is great if you like anime/weeb stuff.
I'd consider most "sword and sorcery" Conan stuff from the 80's to be moderately this if only because of TIME.
It isn't that right-wing people aren't creative; it's just that left-wing people have a tendency to control and dominate most forms of media at the moment such as(they didn't used to, it was a gradual take over): comics, news, television, cartoon, etc.
So of course you're going to say they're dumb, uncreative, or narrow-minded because every outlet is telling you that because talking about how, "most conservatives agree with most liberals" isn't going to get the VIEWS or HITS they need to stay afloat.
The Conservatives did it when they had the media and the liberals are doing it now that they have the media; it's cyclical- each side telling the other is insane when, like, 80% of the people are pretty reasonable and want the same things.
why do guts and zod actually look alike
is zod guts daddy
i hope this one doesn't rape him
Whole RPG scene in Poland is dominated by right wingers. I plated RPG's since 1992 and don't know single lefty.
These. Pretty much anything classic.
Even standard rpgs. It doesn't get much more right wing than feudalism.
Anything 40K, obviously. I mean Catholic Space Nazis, com'on.
/pol/ should at least contribute creatively if they're going to squat all over the board. Make up your dream right wing setting.
fucking newbs
>what is FATAL?

tbhonest, DasSchwarze Auge is also pretty good, but they aren't guaranteed Alt-Right.
Any setting where paladins are the good guys should be considered "right wing"
Eclipse Phase attracted so many right wingers that authors had to purge their forums, because they were dominated by them. Ironically they were very creative in adding locations, factions and lore in the setting.
The classics that set the mold for everything Veeky Forums related are right wing. lurk more.
I was kind of upset after the election. I'm pretty conservative, but most of the guys I play with are pretty far left. The GM premptively banned "politcial talk at the table", I was hoping to sup on their tears.
Some of the other friends I play with were having a party to celebrate Clinton's victory. I wish I could have been there to watch and laugh.
OP here.
MYFAROG was made by a pagan nazi who burned down churches, and from what I heard he inserted his political worldview in his viking fantasy RPG. Those people are correct.
A game made by right-wing devs where they clearly inserted their ideology/politics/beliefs in it.
I think one example of a right-wing setting would be one where (the Christian) God is real along with associated theology, and said God is objectively good. Most RPGs don't do that and if holy magic/miracles do exist, they tend to work no matter your religion in modern fantasy settings (ex: World of Darkness).
Or a game about fighting commies/socialist bad guys without it being a parody/ironic.
...
Pretty much this.
Wouldn't games with an objective Good and Evil qualify most of the time? Moral relativism is inherently left-wing. So most fantasy settings could qualify as at least being implicitly right-wing.
I'd have to say anything Warhammer 40k can be considered "right wing".
Or you could just place yourself in a left leaning weenie wonder world and make your campaign right wing. I'd play it if enough thought was put into it.
>Necromancy isn't evil, it's different!
This
when conservatives controlled the media they still relied on the left to produce most of the content, which they then sterilised so it wouldn't infringe on their little right wing safespace
Dnd and pretty much anything that considers stuff like belts of gender change a curse.
How triggered are you right now?
>when conservatives controlled the media
When was that? The 20s?
>/pol/ should at least contribute creatively
You should read some /pol/ screencaps sometime, their jewish conspiracies and illuminati 4d chess can get really imaginative.
I know who Varg "Greven" Vikernes is motherfucker, what he did in the past and are going to be doing in the future is of no concern when it comes to his creative work. I also haven't read his RPG so I won't brand it as ebul nazi garbage like some people here do, and neither should you.
Buddy, youre the asshole in this story
>conspiracies
You mean back when art, literature and movies were actually good?
Uhh I mean
Most TRPGs are pretty apoltical. Dnd 5e might have a paragraph about how you can be any special snowflake gender, but as a whole there's very little inbuilt in the system that is political unless you're reading way too much in to things. The politics of a setting ultimately come up to your DM.
So any kind of political RPG is usually made by fringe crazies... Racial Holy War for example, or that recent "Feminist mini-RPG" thing that just came out, for example.
However... There was a Christian RPG published in response to the D&D scare of the 80s called DragonRaid which is apparently actually quite good. That's the only one I know that is mechanically influenced by a right-wing worldview and also isn't retarded
I'm sure there are some Narnia-inspired games out there or WWII roleplay I don't know about though.
>Implying that it isn't the serbs and ethernal anglos that uses the jews as scapegoats
Maybe they feel movies are good nowadays simply because their "diverse"
Notice how everything not explicitly left-wing is called /pol/ now?
>implying racial arguments are productive in any way.
>implying we should all, as a species, stop murdering, raping, and terrorizing collectively
Why do left-wing millennials all sound and type exactly the same? They all have that same snarky, pretentious, smug, passive-aggressive and catty personality.
My dad had that gathering dust in a closet. It's nothing special mechanically, but you cast miracles by reading bible verse which is pretty unique
they all watch the same shows, listen to the same podcasts, wear the same clothes. Leftists are the ultimate conformists.
I guess a group of people who are in the right are bound to sounds pretty similar :^)
Not really. After hear them shit talk for months, and keeping my mouth shut, playing nice and keeping politics out of my personal life, it was well deserved schadenfreude.
I take offense to that as a Serb. We don't use Jews collectively as scapegoats. Only Soros and more rarely Rothschilds.
I think I am getting mixed signals here, we should stop arguing about race, but keep on murdering and raping?
>tfw friends are all fedora tipping atheists that get pissed at religion
I'll never get to run my HEMA crusader game.
You're either left wing, or a nazi in need of punching.
Muslims too
>Soros
It's not a scapegoat if he's actually fucking over your country.
Kek I thought you were full of shit til I read this.
Just butting in, but some of the most successful pieces of art/media that we enjoy today was done by people we would consider right-wing/conservative:
Walt Disney, Hayao Miyazaki, H.P Lovecraft (who is now retroactively considered so racist they're removing him from awards), even the creators of Rick & Morty (Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon) and SOUTH PARK are moderately conservative by today's insane liberal standards.
>removing him from awards
even in death Lovecraft still suffers.
Well, he can't be at fault for FUCKING EVERYTHING in my country. It wouldn't be fiscally sound.
>tfw you are an atheist that mocks religion, but would really like it if that other atheist would fucking stop making noises and shit when any character close to being role-played as religious comes up in game.
Christian, you are a bit of a faggot.
Walt Disney is known far more for being a businessman than an animator. Miyazaki is Japanese and everything's topsy turvy over there. As for Harmon, Roiland and South Park your're just combining goalpost moving with 'dern librulls'
You've got a point of HP Lovecraft though
Larry Correia helped create Iron Kingdoms. It is a fantasy setting that also has games based on it. I love his Monster Hunter International series but am not really into it.
He's a conservative author and apparently is part of a group trying to off-balance the strangle hold liberals have on the sf and fantasy awards.
I personally loathe hard right or extreme left views in fiction and games that overtake narrative and good story telling. Liberal is the defining paradigm right now so it's a much bigger problem.
>he thinks I'm christian
Not giving a shit about religion is the correct answer desu. I just like the crusader aesthetic.
>Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon
>moderately conservative
This is your brain on ideology
>As for Harmon, Roiland and South Park your're just combining goalpost moving with 'dern librulls'
Fair enough, that's a really good point, user.
>calls someone out for moving the goal posts
>while moving the goal posts
shiggy
>Walt Disney is known far more for being a businessman than an animator. Miyazaki is Japanese
You're goalpost shifting. That doesn't make them any less right-wing.
No man, that other fedora tipper was like Varg, named Christian, as in the Danish male name.
>claim to be white

THE ETERNAL ANGLO
Oh. Alright then.
Hard to reply to this without sounding politically biased but... probably warhams. Warhammer is a setting where you have to be tough, project force, purge heresy, discourage cultural erosion, and so on, just to survive. It blends well with conservatives leaning towards supporting strong law enforcement, surveillance, protectionism, faith, strong military, and willingness to use all of it. Conservatives see a weakness on these issues as a clear line towards disastrous results, and thus a consequence of liberal values, which is clearly how things go down in Warhammer.
From my personal understanding of lovecraft, he was much more openly racist in his writings than many other authors of the time.
When entire plots boil down to "And mixing races is EEEEEEvvvvvVvvvviiiiiIIiiIIiIIIil!" which when compared to other famous works from the same time period (Conan had a number of positive and negative mixed race characters, as did Solomon Kane) is remarkably different.
Fuck off. The biggest academic scholar on Lovecraft is a fucking Mexican. You fucking retarded faggot /pol/ cuck.
No one cares about the political ideas of some guy who has been dead for almost a century.
>No one cares about the political ideas of some guy who has been dead for almost a century.
Apparently enough people did to remove his bust as an award for weird fiction.
>what is philosophy
>The biggest academic scholar on Lovecraft is a fucking Mexican.
Pretty sure he's Indian.
are there any RPGs where the author doesn't feel the need to cram their political dick into every possible orifice?
This sucks.
GURPS
>surveillance
That's a neoliberal and neoconservative position and less an exclusively right-wing position, or one that all of the right-wing accepts.
>No one cares about the political ideas of some guy who has been dead for almost a century.
Then why the fuck are there ideologies?
To be fair, Poland is a country that got to experience the socialist dream firsthand. Being a leftie in Poland is as much suicide as loving your country is in Western Europe.
They're not really portrayed in a positive light though.
The setting admits to being both grim and dark.
My experience is that if given a sliding scale between privacy and security, left-wing voters will lean towards the former while right-wing voters will accept the latter.
For conservatives, acceptance of surveillance follows two lines of thinking, the first being 'if you have nothing to hide then only the bad guys suffer', the second being 'tough on crime even at a cost'.
lol'd
Pretty much every setting/system that isn't trying it's hardest to be leftist is pretty moderate/conservative/apolitical.
>anything warhammer
Not really. A lot of conservatives are aggressively private, "show me a warrant" type people.
>My experience is that if given a sliding scale between privacy and security, left-wing voters will lean towards the former while right-wing voters will accept the latter.
Do you only have two parties where you have gotten your experience? We have parties on both wings and center parties with different views on that issue, and our labour party and the conservatives have the same position.
GURPS crusade was the most historically level, and fair minded book I had read on the subject. They just want to make games my man.
G. K. Chesterton and Tolkien where both Catholics.
At most you'd find that among neocons and baby boomers. Go on any gun forum (and gun owners are a significant part of the american right-wing) and you'd see how enthusiastic they are about surveillance and how much they trust the government.
This.
>My experience is that if given a sliding scale between privacy and security, left-wing voters will lean towards the former while right-wing voters will accept the latter.
I think generally speaking one can say that the left sees the state as a tool for their purposes while the right sees it as a neccessary evil. Just think about it, it's more than just surveillance
>Redivision of wealth vs low taxes
>Dictating what's acceptable speech vs freedom of expression
>Tolerance vs the freedom to be intolerant
>Solidarity vs responsibility
The modern left, whether it likes it or not, still has roots in Marxist thought and the Marxist-Socialist idea that the state must change man (rather than the other way around) and that the state exists to fulfill some kind of end goal. Meanwhile the literature on which the right bases itself, the great classical liberal thinkers, seems almost paranoid towards the state.
And before someone brings up national-*socialism* as a counterexample, I think their near deification of state power as well as their belief in the responsibility of the state to provide for its (ethnically approved) inhabitants puts them on the left side of the spectrum. "Extreme right" would probably be libertarians and the non-retarded anarchists.
I used to think this, but honestly, both sides are very pro- liberty and pro- security, just about different things to different degrees.
That doesn't really counter 'if you have nothing to hide then only the bad guys suffer' mentality, tho.
>My experience is that if given a sliding scale between privacy and security, left-wing voters will lean towards the former while right-wing voters will accept the latter.
In my experience it depends almost entirely on which part is actually expanding surveillance powers at the time, except Libertarians oppose it no matter what, usually.
>see Obama expanding the surveillance state to unheard of levels and nary a peep out of progressive organizations/individuals
>I also haven't read his RPG so I won't brand it as ebul nazi garbage like some people here do, and neither should you
I have read it. It was posted on Veeky Forums. It's a white supremacy fueled shitheap. It's also just bad, like most fantasy heartbreakers.
Bonus idiocy: it has a touch of anti-vax screed too!
>he puts politics on a sliding scale of left and right
The technocratic revolution can't get here fast enough.
even in the time of extreme racism Lovecraft was considered a racist
that takes a special level of autism and ignorance
plenty of shit with nazis in it, recon you'd like those.
