@namioshiro.bsky.social: thats the thing he let us do all the worldbuilding at the outset and then decided that the capitalist u.s./cop city proxy we set up was actually an israel proxy that he was going to commandeer to be The Good Guys.
but it went straight over all our heads lmfao
I bet the DM will now make a statement that they'll only run Sigmata
I was braced for the usual DND horror stories involving creepy behavior and weird ass toxicity, this is next level.
if i told you i had such a harrowing dnd experience once i genuinely had to check and make sure this wasn't someone i knew
A good reason to DM, to make sure there are better options out there than people who set up bullshit campaigns like that.
honestly kind of impressive (telling, really) that this guy constructed a fictionalized version of the entire scenario from scratch, with full authorship over the backstory and worldbuilding, specifically motivated to promote his views, presented to an audience of friends who weren't aware it was a political allegory, and he still couldn't make his Israel stand-in look like the good guys
This is what I'm SAYING. utterly incredible. i would pay money to read the DM's worldbuilding notes.
I need more fucking details. Because making Isreal look like the good guys should be easy, all you gotta do is ignore all the horrible shit they're doing and focus on the bad stuff Hamas does.
How do you fail at that? What was the DM doing? What was the perspective of the players? Cause apparently it was going over their head, so i need to fucking know.
I NEED TO FUCKING KNOW MORE.
