DND fulfills our deepest fantasies

This is how you get killed irl, by embracing the “happy slave” trope
If only. So many people repeated this lie in the past and never got their comeuppance

You’re right, I was thinking about my friends and tabletop groups

If you don’t have a copy of the little red songbook, can you really call yourself a bard?

Remeber, kids: Laws are threats made by the dominate socio-economic ethnic group in a given nation. It’s just the promise of violence and police are basically an occupying army.
Yeah, my character is realizing that the nobles that want to depose the king in favor of a ruling council are themselves just as corrupt if not more, and that the only real answer is a worker’s revolution. So this might end up being a bit of an influence in this weekend’s events.

Sounds like a great party to do an Acq Inc campaign. They play as their own business and can have evil corporations as enemies. It’s great fun

unionize? no. one party, we were doing LMoP. i fucking hate LMoP. I took the boring ass prerolled character the DM made me play (because other people don’t know dnd and thus it wouldn’t be fair to let me play a character i wanted to play) and twisted the premade backstory from him saving some mistreated workers into him leading a communist revolution.

Why do you play with them then? It’s super easy to find another group if you live in an urban area. Even suburbs have a game shop here and there.

i played two sessions and realized they only wanted me at their table to give free therapy to the wife of one of the guys in the group who the dm has been trying to hook up with for like 20 years. i left very quickly, have not spoken to the dm or that couple since.

Surely that’s when humanity has forgotten how to be selfish and the state withers away, leaving a utopia of fully actualised workers for whom work and play are indistinguishable, both being ways of joyously participating in society.
Something notably quite different from what socialists are trying to achieve

Player: I want to ask this road worker about their job.
GM: They tell you that they are perfectly happy with their job. They say they work short hours, get paid well and have a contract with very favourable terms that prevent them from being fired arbitrarily. All of their colleagues seem to feel the same way.
Player: Hm, what if they’re lying?
Oh yeah the way they answered definitely has cult behavior.
Time to free them from their chains.

This is the best sort of rpg story, in my humble opinion.
Needs more murder of the oligarchs that tried to use the party but we can’t have everything

Not one single disgruntled worker?
Clearly mind control magic

Collective bargaining is capitalism.
Ownership and control over the mop is not collective bargaining

Every time I see a “survey crew ahead” sign on road I have this mental image of driving with me head out the window yelling “ one a scale from one to ten: how acomadating do you feel your employer is with scheduling request- damnit I passed them… how am I supposed to do this going 60?!”
Second off topic when I see the sign with a construction worker with a shovel I think “lazy protesters ahead. You got to hold the sign up!”

My favorite one-shot that I’ve ever ran involved the PCs being hired by a city to go kill some kobolds. The kobolds had taken over their mine, had fortified the place, and were violently rejecting any attempts to make them leave.
When the PCs arrive, it’s basically as described: The mine is overrun with kobolds, who have erected makeshift barricades and are armed with crossbows.
In actuality, the city had hired the kobolds to mine the ore for them, but then refused to pay them after taking delivery. It’s a labor dispute, and the PCs had been hired to kill them because nobody would question some adventurers killing some kobolds. The players discovered this and were upset enough about being lied to that they joined the kobolds’ side and basically acted as the (very well-armed and aggressive) union reps, negotiating better pay and more favorable terms for them. Was a great time.
I was in a game where we all played kobolds and lived in a old mine, except during a winter food raid on the local gnomes we managed to break into the mayor’s house and steal the treasury. When they demanded we return the safe we swapped the gold for lead, then they sent adventurers who we bribed with a gold bar each and the knowledge they had been lied to about the number of kobolds they had to fight.
In the end we ended up bloodlessly annexing the gnomes and putting them under “oppressive” restrictions and tax burden that ended up better than before we took over accidentally exposed former mayor’s massive embezzlement (In character we still don’t understand what he did wrong, we see it as dragon behavior) which started a pattern. We would scheme and plan evil things but end up being a net good for the area and because our party face was adorable as a sack of kittens no one noticed that both of the planners are evil as fuck
