Well, the thing you might be interested in is that I'm thoroughly revamping the combat system of Yvain's Dungeons and Discourse RPG (sorry, not linkable yet, but Yvain's original can be found here). This involves me riffling through a lot of philosophy summaries for cool skill names. Marxist: "Perpetual Revolution." Nietzschean: "Will to Power." Materialist: "Summon: Laplace's Demon." Idealist: "Summon: Cave." So it's been good for my philosophical education. I'm doing this both because I'm enjoying turning philosophy into sweet RPG humor, and because I plan on using it. The learning part is merely a happy side-effect.
I believe that you may be thinking of Permanent Revolution. If I could recommend some cool Marxist (or, Marx-descended) terms: Revolutionary Terror, Antagonistic Contradiction, Metabolic Rift, Dual Power, Struggle Session.
How far down the Marxist rabbit hole can we go...?
Alienation of Labor, Hauntology, Summon: Spectre of Communism, Chocolate Laxative, Desert of the Real.
Permanent Revolution lasts until dispelled or you succeed on a saving throw.
Perpetual Revolution revolution requires a new saving throw each round. :D
In addition, they both grant damage reduction 10/icepick.
I actually had it correct in my notes, I just recalled it wrong :)
And thanks for the suggestions! Now I can replace "Class of Conflict" with something that sounds much better.
Also, I must warn you I'm playing pretty fast and loose with what's "Marxist" - for example, one of the passives is New Soviet Man.
Do you know the hilarious Philosophy Action Figures?
No, I had not :D
"Eternal Recurrence".
Already in there :P
Will this be made available for play? I suspect at least one other of my gaming buddies would love to try this out.
Feel free to remind me in about three weeks (when I expect to be done), if I haven't posted something where you can find it.
Are you collaborating with Yvain/have you his blessing on this or are you just doing it on your own? (I don't think he'd mind, I'm just curious if it's Official.)
Oh my, I would never do anything unOfficial.
