Every time I see an American Revolutionary War ttrpg (there's a lot of them, more than you would expect) all I can think is that you could just as easily have made a game about maroon resistance or indentured servants building rebellion alongside indigenous freedom fighters or like a thousand other much more interesting and compelling stories in that time and place. Idk, why do I want to play the villains I guess?
Also because I'm thinking about this now, why am I supposed to like George Washington? I understand why the British aristocracy of the early US liked and lionized Washington, I understand how he's an important figure in the national mythology, but like the guy was an aritocrat's aristocrat, a merchant-warrior born to wealth and means whose vague enlightenment values and republicanism extended only as far as his own interests. He seems like a thoroughly unimpressive ruling class dork whose name I'm cursed to know by some quirks of history
@PallasRiot some cool people in portland pulled down the big George Washington statue in 2020 :)
