Speaking as a very white person from the wet cluster of islands that once ruled a quarter of the globe, slavic myth gets almost no interest for a bunch of reasons, including what >>96071159 says.

Another part is the roman connection - one of the big cornerstones of white culture is "do you connect with rome/did the roman empire occupy you?" (usually with "and bring christianity to you") - and while obviously it's not true with germans and norse either, there's a lot more mixing. Slavs, where they interact with rome, interact with the eastern roman empire, which for a time also got denigrated a lot by western historians - so the general border of where "culture white people are interested in" peters out about where the mongol and muslim conquests reach up to - east and south of there "doesn't count" (with greece getting a pass for being the epicentre of Western Thought).

Bringing back to RPGs, the fallen empire element (especially in a sense of "and they built better than we can") is a huge part of classic D&D - it brings back the idea of medieval times with roman ruins (though kind of ignores cathedrals and such)
