Good RPGs for killing Nazis

[overgeeked]

I’m a fan of the pulp and action-adventure genres. Quite fond of the era, 1930s to 1940s, and its music. So I’m on the hunt for some RPGs where you can kill some Nazis.

I’m fully aware you can do this in most any game by simply importing Nazis. That’s not what I’m after.

I have stacks of pulp RPGs but still want more. Obvious and ubiquitous to so niche you’ve only ever seen a copy tucked behind something in a spinner rack.

Non-era specific and “metaphorical” Nazi killing is welcome as well. So Star Wars with the Empire as space Nazis is great. Doctor Who with the Daleks as space Nazis is too. Also weird variants are welcome, like Vampires vs Nazis a la Eat the Reich.

What else you got? Any suggestions?

I enjoyed Weird Wars. I believe they have a SWADE version and a d20 version. I also enjoy Achtung Cthulhu.

All of them!

Hero System has a great pulp adventure supplement. Very handy even for non-Hero games.

Kill Him Faster is a fun little game about time travellers speedrunning killing Hitler.

I don't have a recommendation, I just have a sneaking suspicion this:

Isn't the actual motivation lol. I do agree with the sentiment though if my suspicions are correct

Achtung Cthulhu
The Day After Ragnarok (arguably one of the most PLAY ME NOW settings of all time)
Night Witches
Moon Punk

Oh yeah, a thread I can get behind.

I think we probably haven’t mentioned:

- Pretty much every superhero game, where punching/shooting/otherwise destroying Nazis of all flavours (WW2 Nazis, Argentinian Nazis, time-travelling, Antarctic, HYDRA, Secret Empire, etc) is totally fine and encouraged. My personal favourite would be 1960s alternate X-Men - play some version of Erik Lehnsherr hunting and magnetically eviscerating Nazis in Brazil.

- Atomic Robo, World War Weird (a recent one where you play SOE operatives shooting Ahnenerbe agents in the head), Hellboy, and Against the Reich are also great.

The Day After Ragnarok is pretty epic.

It's currently out of print because I just sold it to another publisher, but the award-winning Nazi Killing Bear Simulator has always been well received.

Day After Ragnorok! Yeah, that's a great setting. Don't know if I'll ever get my group to play it though.
