Dunno if there's a rule or etiquette against self-promotion, but I've been streaming a campaign set 13 years after New Vegas and thought there might be people here curious about it. Starting the next scenario tonight at 8:30 pm CT on twitch.tv/professionalslacker7

Been running/streaming some actual plays of it, and I have some mixed feelings about it. I like the basic 2d20 mechanics, but all the Fallout 4 inspired stuff like the over-complicated Power Armor management have been kind of a drag as a GM. Would be curious what others think about it.

It's that he's identified them as petite-bourgeois but seems to believe that they don't have class consciousness that is baffling to me. These people are completely aware that the state exists to serve their interests and their primary issue with the Biden victory is that its contingent on the working class having any say in politics at all. It's why they have people literally saying "why are the police shooting us, they are supposed to be shooting BLM" and wearing "Camp Auschwitz" shirts. He seems to want to depoliticize their motives because it would mean admitting that there is any daylight between the slow creep towards fascism under Democrats and the complete seizure of power for the capitalist class under these extremists, and when pressed on it he just starts shrieking at the camera that none of it matters and everyone needs to log off, like a baby throwing their toys out of the pram.

Probably controversial here, but as annoying as these libs are, this analysis from Matt is dogshit. "Commentary doesn't have a material impact on politics" is a completely banal observation that he cynically employs to dismiss any sort of criticism that he's failed to properly identify the class character of the riots.
