This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Then I can add multiple counts of genocide in Dark Heresy, though I wasn't party to those by virtue of not liking the setting:).

I know of at least one other group who recommended "cleaning out" a world to cover their own tracks, though. Cue scenes with the Death Star attacking a peaceful world;).

My DCC players wiped-out the entire race of Cyber-Dragons by going back in time and accidentally resulting in their annihilation at the hand of the normal dragons.

Apropos of time travel, my players' characters were once brought to a Dying Earth style future of my world. Horses were extinct in that future, and when they returned, they brought back (against all NPC advice, although the NPCs didn't know what would happen and the PCs didn't try to find out) the magical devices that were used as substitutes for horse transportation. Unfortunately, these were carriers for the disease that exterminated the horses, and horses became increasingly rare and expensive. They didn't mean to do it, and horses weren't all killed before the campaign ended, and the horses were just animals, and I'm not sure they could be entirely blamed since it was going to happen anyway. So probably not a genocide, but the closest I've had.

You should give them bonus XP.

Yeah, my point was I'd give them 5+ points for that, and IIRC the chart of XP per encounter goes only up to 4 according to the DCC corebook.

Gormenghast

Quote from: ZWEIHÄNDER;871197A long-standing clash has existed in my homebrewed campaign between two native human ethnicities: the Gothric and the Walstanians. The Gothric have a very long and sordid past with the Walstanians, enacting brutal pogroms to control their population while propping up popular Walstanians as puppets in local government.

Meanwhile, the Walstanians carry out terrorist actions, creating "pyreshot" (otherwise black powder) weapons. They've blown up local bazaars on faire day, destroyed bridges and held hostage/killed the families of Gothric officials.

My players have played both sides of the war, where no clear party is either right or wrong and all are uncertain of who really started it (or how to end it).

That sounds like loads of fun.

RE the main topic

No attempted genocides against monsters in my games.
But I , as the player of a  lawful evil high priest, instigated a holy war against a chaotic good sect of hippy type moon worshippers. Many, many flower children perished.
That was in a campaign played in (TSR's) Birthright campaign setting.

I just gave them 4. Limits is limits. It's not like they did the killings with their own hands. They just spoke shit about them to Tiamat, who then wiped them out before they could get powerful.

Actually, my high school AD&D group were quite inspired by Dark Sun, despite never having played it. When they heard that the actions of the sorcerer kings had resulted in certain player races being unavailable, they launched a single-minded crusade against gnomes (I'm not sure why; gnomes were always deeply unpopular). They effectively removed gnomes from the game, though probably not from farthest reaches of the game world. Does that count?
