Now keep in mind that this was almost certainly said pre-C'ville.
The article is actually blogspam for this piece in the New York Times with snippets from the video that are all worth watching.

The summary from the blogspam is inadequate because it doesn't mention them talking about The Jews(tm) and how government mandatory birth control is a good thing.

i love how these CHUDs always try to twist Hitler into this misunderstood genius. even without bringing up the holocaust and all the other genocidal horrors, he was lovely leader in all ways. he got into power because shithead conservatives thought they could control him and were blinded by their stupidity and lust for either a monarchy or a military junta. he made dumbass decisions in economics, politics and war. he was surround be sadbrained weirdos who constantly tried to gently caress each other over or he would be trying to micromanage poo poo to oblivion and he lost bigly. he got skull hosed by the allies, especially the "degenerate" soviets. on top of that, he didn't leave any positive contributions behind.

You're right, Eberron is the only good D&D setting.

Mercers love him so he's keeping a low profile and probably planning a reintroduction sometime next year. Not sure if he'll be able to reach the same markets that he did before though because his act is pretty old hat in 2017.

That's a really strange way to spell "Planescape."

The pepes getting bored with his boilerplate conservatism is what made them go full nazi in the first place. I say he's all used up. plus he'll be like 40-50 soon and too old to pull off the campy bon vivant poo poo.

He's only 32. Definitely starting to show his age though.

I played a revolutionary anarchist ex-pat from Eastern Europe in a Deadlands campaign once, whom I modeled off Mad Stan from Batman Beyond. That was loads of fun.

I debated going with that, but Dark Sun won out by a hair.

I didn't get to use my demolitions skill as much as I'd like since explosives are so goddamn powerful in that setting, but I did get the chance once to go on a borderline-incoherent rant about inequality before screaming that the only sane solution was to, "BLOW IT UP! BLOW IT ALL UP!" and then hurl dynamite through the front window of a mining magnates mansion. Justified the whole concept, right there.

Worse than the chunky salsa rules out of Sgadowrun? It's been ages since I read the original rules and the Savage Worlds rules never seemed that insane.

But that one moment does justify the whole thing. Did the old splat books deal with Marx at all? It's been like 8 or mote years since I read those. You would think with all the historical people thrown in that game you'd get dime kind of movement at least in The City O'Gloom

I'm apparently in the minority in that I prefer the original rules to Savage Worlds. Dynamite and nitro both do 3d20 damage per stick/8 oz bottle* respectively, which is massive even if none of the dice top out.

I never read all the splat books so I got no idea if there's anything about socialism or Marx in City o' Gloom or other similar books.

*And our DM went with the instability rule where, if seriously jarred or knocked about, dynamite detonates automatically on a 1 and nitro on 1-3 on a d6 roll.

There are, largely, two kinds of people that care about tabletop RPGs a lot: Queer people using the space to safely explore themselves/play with their identity and the kind of sad brained nerd who got radicalize by frog memes on 4chan.

The kind of person that thinks wizards are the coolest is the latter, because only a sad nerd would also want to play an unlikable, unsocial bookworm that would rather spend time in their tower alone than help another human being in their escapist fantasy.
