How do you like your fantasy dystopias?

Like all dystopias I like: highly functional.

People in Dystopias easily get into the mindset of just following the law and order without much noise. Thus, the system keeps functional.

But of course, the players and PC:s realize how horrible the system is, in the end.

I could see a kingdom run by some tyrannical human figure, maybe a cleric, that enforces strict rules over society. There could be statues of him all over the city, big brother like watching everyone.

You would have to look at the D&D patheon to see if there are any gods that would work. You could also just make one yourself to fit the world

Consider looking up the 3e setting Midnight. It's essentially a setting where the local equivalent of Sauron has won the war.

Consider looking up the "Immortals" setting on (immortalpedia)
A few of the main civilizations are dystopic, its pretty interesting.

Exactly

I'd like more dystopia's that aren't just regular dictatorships. A big part of a dystopia for me is that it puts on the veneer of a utopia, and for a lot of people living in it, it appears to be.

A civilization of machines that were left roaming the universe after humanity went extinct.
They feel like they are the sons of man so they try to simulate normal human life as much as they can without really getting it.
They wear clothes, drive big cars, have mail, go to curch on sundays and their planets are just massive suburbia a la American 50's, where every house is the same but with a different color and everyone roots for the local sports team.
Keeping this life style requires ungodly amounts of resources so they have to constantly invade other planets to extract as much resources as they can to keep their beautiful, perfect, spotless society living in fancy wooden houses and get the oil for their old massive cars.
Anyone who doesn't like it is an anticitizen and gets executed immediately.
