Rebellion Themed TTRPG Campaigns: Guerrillas, Freedom Fighters and Pirates

I've been wanting to get back into writing campaign settings and ideas down, so thought I would once more blow the dust off the blog. Yesterday I encountered some really interesting blog posts about trying new ways of writing D&D to avoid some of its western and colonial tropes. The general idea that has been kicked around for, well, pretty much forever at this point is that D&D is about killing things and taking their stuff, and that is generally a bad idea with a lot of really unfortunate parallels in real-world history; many much more well read people have already written about this, so I don't think I need to go into that further.

@Canageek as they say, "critical worldbuilding, smart characterization, and fun interaction between good friends"

the critical worldbuilding part is what led me to ask. you expressed many of the same considerations in your post that i've heard them talk about extensively, and put into practice

the different seasons are about different things, and cover a few different settings or aspects of those settings, but PARTIZAN in particular is largely a sci fi season about rebellion
