Line 37:
* The Jovian Republic from ''[[Eclipse Phase]]'' was founded by these. Granted they might have a point, as this is a setting ten years after the [[After the End|RobotApocalypse left Earth uninhabitable]]. At the same time, their higher-ups are not necessarily as opposed to tech as their party line suggests, it's just a way to keep all the shiny, shiny tech away from the unwashed masses.
** And even the Jovians consider neo-primitivists to be [[Knight Templar|a little too hardline]].
* From the ''[[Ravenloft]]'' setting, Vlad Drakov, Darklord of Falkovnia is this ''and'' an [[Evil Reactionary]], but this Trope is one of many reasons he is a [[General Failure]]. He is fixated on "old fashioned" methods of warfare that were the norm of his homeworld of Krynn, refusing to allow magic-users or gunpowder weapons in his armies. Because the Realms that border Falkovnia either have Renaissance-level technology, powerful wizards, or both, his swordsmen and archers are routinely slaughtered by the flintlock and wheellock firearms of the oppositions' soldiers, or are turned to ash by the Fireballs and Lightning Bolts of enemy wizards. Even worse, any time he attempts to invade Darkon (and later Necropolis) soldiers slain on his side quickly become zombies under Lord Azalin's command. All his attempts as a result have been [[Epic Fail]]s, each more epic than the last, further and further cementing his reputation as a laughable upstart.
