   When I've considered ideas for #TTRPG campaigns, I've thought, my political beliefs and values will inevitably influence the themes in worldbuilding and scenario design, but I should be careful to not be too heavy-handed and didactic.

   But I get the impression that people I know pretty much go straight for, "Let's have a role-playing game about leading a social revolution".

   I wonder if it's the era I grew up in, where we'd call each other up because a TV show just hinted at leftist critique.

     @silverwizard @foolishowl It feels like the same challenge as for large-scale military engagements, how do make it meaningful for PCs without exaggerating their personal influence on the outcome?
