Isn't it kinda hard to flaunt societal convention when the societal convention doesn't exist?
The flaunting is an in-game activity in response to an out-of-game convention.
Are you saying that of all the things to "simulate" in an RPG, historical sexism is not high on *your* list for *your* games?
That's totally what I am saying.
Also 2) if you want a game to be about these issues, that is totally cool but 3) don't beat up your players with this stuff in the name of simulationism. That last part is how a lot of crap sneaks into otherwise fine campaigns.
BA: If someone wanted to play a Moor in my campaign, I would work with that. If someone just wanted to be able to imagine themselves on the adventure without any in-game explanation, that's cool too.
(Also, I tend to imagine Ice T as the Bishop of Wintoncester. He's just a badass mofo that manages to be both gritty and smooth in that weird way that he pulls off so well.)
