So you may have noticed posts like this one and this one and this one too taking a principled stand against Nazis coopting the OSR. What is this about? Well, it would appear that a right-wing troll of no meaningful consequence has declared that the OSR supports Trump (click and thereby donate more views to the blog of an insignificant nimrod at your own risk).
Three things.
One: by giving the troll attention, the troll "wins" from his own perspective. That's all a troll wants: attention. Lulz. That's why right-wing trolls troll: they know that we knee-jerk lefties have our bloody principles and that we pathologically have to respond to evil by condemning evil. They know how to take advantage—the same way Lex Luthor knows how to to take advantage of Superman.
Two: as I no longer consider myself a member of the OSR (for game-mechanical and esthetic reasons, not political reasons), I cannot presume to speak for the OSR. I only speak for myself when I say: fuck Trump, and fuck these right-wing assholes who say and believe Nazi-flavored things. (This, despite the fact that they would be the first to whinge at you that they're anti-Nazi too. Hell, the RPG Pundit, who runs the gaming forum where idiots who manage to somehow get themselves banned from RPG.net flee to and take refuge—a place where the aforementioned unnoteworthy dipshit troll hangs out—used to have as his signature the famous Woody Guthrie line, "this machine kills fascists." These fuckers actually think they're anti-Nazi and "libertarian." Guess that's the tricky thing about being a right-winger: you may not support Nazis and Klansmen and neo-Confederates—but they sure as fuck support you. Wonder why?)
Three: I actually think there should be lots of Nazis in the old-school gaming community. Of course there should! Why would we not want droves of Nazis around?
They have typically have AC 8, about 4 hit points, and save as Ftr1. One well-aimed shot with a revolver is usually enough to do one in, but you can totally get lots of 'em all at once with a fireball, and that's rad. Unfortunately, being 1 HD mooks, they're only worth about 5 to 10 XP a pop.
