Racial Holy War

This article is about something that is considered by the overpowering majority of /tg/ to be fail. Expect huge amounts of derp and rage, punctuated by /tg/ extracting humor from it.

This article or section is EXTRA heretical. Prepare to be purged.

For those whose Klansman's Hoods are on backward (and also /pol/). Notice that the author didn't even bother to hide the fact that the cover is just a crappy edit of the DVD cover for The Hills Have Eyes- and apparently he didn't realize the guy on the cover is one of the mutants that would be first against the wall in an actual Nazi regime.

Veterans of 1d4chan and /tg/ in general will notice that when we tend to review and, more commonly, openly make fun of shitty RPGs, we still tend to discuss what positive features they have, if any; for example, Ironclaw may be sort of fail, but it works fine once the furries are removed from the setting.

Putting it simply: Racial Holy War, also known as RaHoWa, is a White Supremacist RPG. It's a ridiculous attempt to lionize this belief as a form of propaganda - in RPG format, of course.

Premise

The synopsis of RaHoWa is that the world is on the edge of collapse, and it's all the doing of the evil non-White races and their insidious Jewish masterminds, having reduced the "superior" White race to a downtrodden minority (which bears no resemblance to the current reality... please move along). A team of brave Klansmen White Warriors emerges in the hopes of "cleansing the world of all the vermin". Yes, this is an actual quote from the game.

Throw in such great missions as destroying a drug cartel run by "awful latrinos."

Mechanics

Character creation is a relatively boring affair, with a similar points-based attribute system to most RPGs - the problem is that what these attributes actually do is only mentioned in passing, if at all... Which is basically boilerplate for low-quality RPGs. From there, you choose a class and the skills of your choice, which include Clothesmaking (suggested uses for it include making swastika shirts, fuck yeah Friendship Windmill Tees!), Video games, and Holy Books of Creativity, the latter of which involves "the study and enlightenment of the greatest books ever written - Nature’s Eternal Religion and The White Man’s Bible", which somehow manage to heal the White Warriors by "soothing and inspiring them". You can even heal yourself by giving yourself a speech! This is where the ridiculous cult origin of RaHoWa's creation begins to become apparent.

For the combat part, you only have 3 generic weapons: a handgun, assault rifle, and shotgun. From here, you can pretty much see how downhill things go for combat: weapon selection is so god damn basic that there's no fun to be had in variety, like when you choose between a knife, a big knife and an even bigger knife in 1 x 10^26 other RPGs.

From someone who has actually read the rules: at the end of the book, AFTER what appears to be the last page, is a few pages of stats for weapons and other equipment. If you fill in the lack of initiative system and houserule a few things it can be quite a decent game, and the premise is both interesting and scarily realistic (Who let /pol/in here?).

Enemies

The game takes pleasure in categorizing enemy NPCs into ethnic and racial stereotypes and naming them with racial slurs, each with their own special attack. It also makes Whites the weakest race in the game, since they are the only ones that don't get a special attack, the only plausible excuse being that Whites being a "master race" has no need for special attacks (aside from being the player characters).

• Niggers: "Smelly, stupid creatures" which can reduce PCs' accuracy via their body odor.
• Latrinos: "Lazy and criminal vermin" with the ability to strike first in combat, because lol border crossing jokes. Wait, if they're so lazy, why don't they attack last? (They jump the border AND THEN become lazy, obviously. That's why 54% of Hispanic households are on welfare in the US. Duh.) Also, yes, the book consistently calls them "Latrinos".
• Sand Niggers: "Scumbags" that have "declared the White Race as one of their many enemies in their 'Jihad' or holy war" which can try to blow themselves up to attack. This conveniently ignores that Islam is a religion, not a race.
• Gooks: "Timid, annoying, slanty-eyed pieces of excrement that so desperately wish they were White" which can gain extra attacks in hand-to-hand combat from watching "fake martial arts movies", which makes you wonder how they gain extra attacks if the movies are fake.
• Jews: "The worst and most evil parasites that the world has ever seen" who can bribe the PCs with jewgold to skip their turn, courtesy of the power of "brain pollution." Note that there are not even mechanics for you to gain the coveted "jewgold" once this happens, so if you end up betraying big daddy Hitler's master race you don't even get anything for it.

Creator

The game creator is the lesser-known racist Kenneth Molyneux. He's a "reverend" of the White supremacist cult calling itself the "Creativity Movement", which just happens to have the idea of a "Racial Holy War" as a part of its doctrines, and even uses the same abbreviation of "RaHoWa" for it (hence the ranting about the Holy Book of Creativity, their equivalent of the Bible). No relation to the other Molyneux, or another Molyneux with game ideas that don't work.

His works consist of RaHoWa, a blog, and his hilariously exaggerated White supremacy fapfic known as "White Empire", which features a Gary Stu self-insert, wannabe Punisher, and Tom-Cruise-in-Top-Gun-ripoff known as "John Granger". Granger neutron bombs simple African villages. Then he dies along with his girlfriend to a Jewish suicide bomber(?), his friend tries to avenge them by infiltrating an underground race-mixing disco, and fails spectacularly. Then he joins the extermination of the Chinese in an Asian campaign and kills some Jewish nuclear combat engineers on the Asian side when the panic detonation fails due to some "Drakion energy field generator made by white science stopping any nuclear detonation in its vicinity". The story then ends abruptly as the next generation of children go around LARP'ing King Arthur's knights and the world celebrates victory. And the capital city of the empire is... Klassengrad. Yes, as in Russian; the author is naming the city after Ben Klassen, who was an Ukrainian escapee from the mainly-Russian Red Terror and the founder of the Creativity Movement (yes, it was founded by an ethnic Ukrainian...).

Men of the White Empire are vegan, eat fruits, raw vegetables and nuts, work out like fuck, admire each other's manly skills and muscles and assets, while women are in the back as childmakers. Make of that what you will.

So in Conclusion...

The game is a Pen-and-Paper version of most normalfag's perception of /pol/, and the original writer of this whole article is a butthurt liberal from Reddit.

TL;DR - A nutty, racist game made by an unhinged hate group. It fills about the same niche as FATAL, but with a focus on extreme racist stereotyping instead of equally-extreme sexual depravity.
