There was some brouhaha a while ago in some DND spaces where some people were like "can we stop doing stories about kings and 'rightful heirs'? It's all very regressive and not fun anymore" and some people just lost their mind.

"Don't make this all PoLitIcAL , this conversation about political systems".

Anyway. I'm super done with basic fantasy monarchy. My pandemic DND game had

  • a Republic city-state. The players lead a recall effort against the shitty mayor
  • an anarchist collective. The players helped stop counter-revolutionaries from restoring the (now undead) king to the throne
  • an oligarchy of awful wizards in conflict with the surrounding town, with agents from neighboring states trying to shift the balance of power. At this point the players got tired of political intrigue, sadly.

Lots of options.
