Heaven forbid that crowd ever find their way here, IMO. I play Twilight 2000 to have fun, be it writing fictional apocalypses for a "dead game" or playing a sort of radioactive "have gun, will travel" (tends to be the tenor of most of my games).
Honestly, when we are engaged in a firefight with a bunch of Soviet NPCs in our games, do we give a damn one of them promised his mother he'd come home, or another is a drunk and a scoundrel? Nope. Sounds cold, but honestly, RPGs, like life make us the hero of our own story. I really don't want folks getting in the way of that to assuage guilt over outside political issues.
Hell, I am a real troll to them anyhow, I am an unreconstructed miniature wargamer.....
