In my D&D 5E group we have a DM who is a right-libertarian/Classical Liberal, myself - a left-libertarian, a vegan feminist, a guy who is probably a nationalist (Israeli) right-winger but does not talk too much about politics. and a person who is centrist-libertarian but does not talk politics in game but tends to post cultural-libertarian and anti-militarist stuff on his Facebook account. And we sometimes play sandbox campaigns and sometimes more structured ones.<br /><br />I have also war-gamed with a dyed-in-the-whool minarchist, an outright ultra-nationalist, and at least one communist. But who cares - we're dealing with Imperial Guard vs. Chaos Marines, not about Israel's geopolitical situation.<br /><br />As an author, things get even more complicated - I tend to write settings with very different tones than my own political beliefs. Settings have internal logic. I have just finished writing a full-scale setting for "not"-Traveller which is very jinguistic and militarist in flavor, two things I tend to dislike in real life. But plucky Terrans vs. the Reticulan Empire does call for a very militaristic outlook and so the book is written.Omer Golan-Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09242085820257230639noreply@blogger.com
