GM's plot is just a platform to express their thinly veiled political opinions
Figure out what their opinion is, play the opposite.
Semi-related. Our usual DM is pretty fundie and tried to get the party riled up because a big cities government had outlawed carrying weapons larger than a dagger in the city. I shouted "THEY'RE GONNA TAKE OUR SWORDS!!!" in a hick accent. Everyone laughed, no one cared, and he never did anything that heavyhanded again.
Our GM abruptly derailed our big fantasy dungeon crawler to pit us up against Donald Trump except a goblin named "Dooga Drumpf" and his "Cult of the Tiny Hand God"
I didn't even vote for the guy, but not liking Trump doesn't mean that I wanted our almost year-long game to suddenly get sidetracked by "Dooga Drumpf is gonna build a wall to keep out all the gnomes xd"
Everyone else at the table thinks this is the funniest shit but I just want to get back to hunting the vampire lord we were hunting five months back. He was a threat we had been building up all campaign, and now he's "in hiding" so we can fight Dooga Drumpf for months worth of "sideplot" sessions.
how often do you think it is that they don't know that they're doing a political screed. they're just creating fiction that reflects how they see the world
that sounds like the worst ever holy shit
That's the GM version of making a character based on a flavor of the month anime. Except worse, because there's no way to avoid it, and no one you can talk to to make him quit it.
>it's the children that are wrong.
If everyone else enjoyed it and you don't give a fuck about politics, then continue to not give a fuck and move on afterwards.
Are you sure they have a political platform?
They might just be an ideologue.
why are liberals the worst at insults? imagine the reaction you would get from lib players is some polster went wild with some anti obama or killery dungeon kek
