Strawman Has a Point/Tabletop Games

Examples of in  include:


 * Deliberately invoked in the VII sourcebook for Vampire: The Requiem. Wanting to kill bloodsucking monsters with easily exploitable supernatural powers is a perfectly justiable position, Greg Stolze and those other guys who wrote it reminds us.
 * This is how Warhammer 40000, despite every faction being thoroughly unpleasant, falls into Black and Gray Morality territory instead of outright Evil Versus Evil most of the time, most of them having some good points and the Strawman With A Point changing depending on the viewpoint faction. For example, if the Imperium are the protagonists fighting against the Eldar, the Eldar are completely valid in their position that humans are destructive savages who have irrevocably screwed over the entire galaxy. Likewise, if the Eldar are the protagonists in this scenario, it's equally valid to point out that the Eldar are just as responsible for the threat of Chaos facing the galaxy, were too busy having violent hedonistic orgies when they could have done something about it, are more than happy to cause the death of billions of planets full of humans to further an unexplained ridiculously complex scheme, and, when it comes to backstabbing, always pulls the blade first.
 * Mage: The Ascension had this pretty bad. The Technocrats were set up as a terrible conspiracy bent on destroying art and imagination and generally ruining the world. Except... they were responsible for every good thing that's happened to common people throughout history, from better farming to television. And they're also the only people who are organized and powerful enough to actually land a blow against the supernatural powers that be and saving countless people with their, admittedly harsh, actions. In fact were it not for the Technocracy the arising of Ravnos would have destroyed the entire world, even if the Avatar Storm that resulted from Ravnos' destruction wasn't exactly all sunshine and puppies either. Still beats 'And then everybody died screaming inside their own minds. Forever.'
 * To be fair, the destruction of Ravnos was a team effort, and while several of the factions involved were not indispensable at least one other -- the Kuei-Jin -- were, so the Technocracy cannot claim sole credit for its defeat. They can, however, legitimately claim to have been an essential part of it; nobody else had the infrastucture to aim the firepower of multiple suns at a rampaging Antedeluvian.
 * It is entirely possible to play a Technocrat game, so.
