Grog tears are tasty and all, but there's just this special sort of flavor to the ones that reveal their social anxiety over not being the exclusive key demographic for the capitalist enterprise.

The 40K universe is full of satire still and there is a lot of it. They post this every week: https://regimental-standard.com Which is basically in-universe propaganda showing the drudgery of the average soldier. 30K novels often highlight how different and removed the Space Marines are from those they’re trying to protect, and how limiting their rampant and unquestioning xenophobia and following of the Emperor’s decree can be. 40K novels often show the effect of dogmatic adherence. Yes, Space Marines are pushed as these amazing warriors, but there’s a lot of different stories and fiction and tidbits, and it’s not all uniform in tone.

That comes from the fact that they're so diluted they think everyone, including the company, are only doing this because they're being forced by gunpoint to agree with this thing and that everyone actually agrees with them. They actually believe that the entire world is being controlled by "SJW" and people are only acting this way because they're being forced to and that, sans this control, they would all act like them. They think this because of right-wing media in America and Britain and in a few countries actually actively promote this idea. You see this for example with Fox News which claims that their version of the news is real and everyone else is spinning it, which is the opposite of the truth because they're the ones who are actually spinning it. So they can think both those thoughts because they believe that they are liberating people from coercion, when actually they're trying to coerce people to believe regressive views.

Since we're on RPGchat, are there any RPGs (or supplements) that have a strong Dying Earth sort of vibe? I kinda just recently got into Dying Earth stuff and I think it would be a fun setting to play. I'm considering putting together a setting with my regular group in any case.

Kai Tave posted:The Dying Earth RPG, maybe? Whoops, forgot to say, we looked at the quickstart for that and the group wasn't really crazy about the system or terminology, eyes started to glaze when we hit the term "efficacious blandishment," that sort of thing is cute and characterful but was common enough that it kind of got wearisome as we were digging through the rules. I get why it's there though, it does kind of capture the feeling of the stories pretty well, I'm just not crazy when RPG systems draw too much attention to their own set of terminology.I couldn't tell you why but none of the stuff we've tried from Pelgrane has really caught on with my group, too. I do think in general the group may have a different idea of what they want that isn't strictly-speaking "dying earth" style fantasy, I think only a couple of us have read any of the Jack Vance stuff. I guess "far future science fantasy" might be a better descriptor, like something between Dying Earth and Dune. Magic meets broken down technology meets after-the-end entropy weirdness. I'm not even sure myself what the hell it should be, thus my being inclined to just roll my own setting for an existing ruleset. Tuxedo Catfish posted:Gamma World. I'd be so down for this. Not necessarily the flavor we're looking for but goddamn if it isn't fun to roll for random mutations.

Into the Odd and its excellent support blog at http://soogagames.blogspot.co.nz/ nails this feel in a way that actually feels playable for me. Dying Earth the RPG ... didn't. Further afield I have also played in Apocalypse World oneshots that have this vibe too. Fantasy as far-future wreckage of lost civilisation is a perfectly reasonable apocalypse.

Other than the actual Dying Earth RPG, there's Chronicles of the Future Earth for BRP. An official Dying Earth supplement for DCC (Dungeon Crawl Classics) is presumably somewhere in the works.

I'll second Gamma World, the one based on D&D 4E is actually really quick to dive into and it's easy to go all in on the weirdness. Numenera is on paper the sort of thing you're looking for but in practice it's an extremely dull and unambitious game that basically retreads D&D because that's all Monte Cook knows how to make and it doesn't do anything interesting with the premise. If you're willing to go more on the sci-fi end of things Fragged Empire is a post-post-apocalypse science fiction setting where everyone is a member of one of several genetically engineered servitor races created by a previous generation of genetically engineered races to fight wars for them. The people who created you are dead. The people who created them are dead (humans). Now it's up to you to actually try and create something like a culture for yourself now that you're free to be your own people. There's also Legacy: Life Among the Ruins which is a PbtA generational game about playing scions of various factions in a sci-fi post apocalypse setting that's weird enough to have aliens and kaiju and such, if that sounds like your jam.
