Good RPGs for killing Nazis

Eat the Reich

Eat the Reich by Rowan, Rook, and Decard.

You play Vampire commandos coffin-dropped into Paris to fight your way to Hitler’s zeppelin, docked atop the Eiffel Tower.

It’s meant to be a short mini-campaign of a few sessions. It’s pureNazi-hunting action.

I enjoyed Weird Wars. I believe they have a SWADE

I think I have that somewhere.

Achtung Cthulhu.

I’ve read bits of the FATE version.

All of them!

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

Yep. The single best pulp book out there. I always recommend it.

The Day After Ragnarok (arguably one of the most PLAY ME NOW settings of all time)

That one’s actually new to me, thanks.

Oh yeah, a thread I can get behind.

I think we probably haven’t mentioned:

- Pretty much every superhero game

Absolutely.

- Atomic Robo, World War Weird (a recent one where you play SOE operatives shooting Ahnenerbe agents in the head)

Love the Atomic Robo RPG. Such a great world. I think WWW might be new to me. Thanks.

The Day After Ragnarok is pretty epic.

Day After Ragnorok! Yeah, that's a great setting.

Thanks.

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

Don’t know what to tell you. I’ve posted repeatedly about pulp RPGs. I’ve posted in the reading thread about my Doc Savage and The Shadow read throughs along with various books on the time period and pulp writers. Also on the music thread about big band and neo-swing music I love.

Not pulp, it's superheroes, but it is explictly set in WW2 and the players are on the Allies side: Godlike.

Justice Inc., is a Hero system supplement that should match, even if it is focused on 1920/30-era gangs, it should work fine for WW2 Pulp.

There's almost certainly GURPS and Savage World supplements.

I mean, even within D&D, there's Eberron, which his a lot of anti-nazi tropes. I think it was maybe it was Graywall that Keith Baker referred to as "Casablanca with trolls". Then of course there's the Emerald Claw, who fit the Nazi mold of the "Indiana Jones punching Nazis" fairly well

There’s also Broken Compass for adventure yarns, Outgunned for action movies, and Outgunned Adventure for…adventure stories. All super light and fast as hell.

For dieselpunk there’s Tomorrow City. And from the same designer a noir game called Hard City.

Yeah. That’s right. I really dig the “between two wars” vibe you can get with Eberron. Very pulpy indeed.

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

I've pondered Achtung Cthulhu for some time. Would you recommend the CoC, SW, or 2d20 version, and if the latter, what can you tell me about it?

Edit: Apparently there was a FATE version too?

This seems like a good question for RPG.Net.
There's SIGMATA: This Machine Kills Fascists. Not actually read it though.

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.

Don't forget Warhammer 40000. The Imperium are way more Nazi-ish than the empire from Star Wars (with a little bit of Axis Japan mixed in too). And Khorne and the Necrons are vaguely fascist as well.

So you get to kill Nazis if you play the game as Tzeentch, Slannesh, or Nurgle (the de facto good guy factions)
