Non-Traditional Fantasy – Ep96

Non Traditional Fantasy   Ep96

Monster Hunter International est 1895

There is a recent trend in modern fantasy which suggests that traditional fantasy, as we know it, is rather passé.

Heroines   Ep83

Who wants her to beat your ass, tie you up and make you tell the truth?.. THIS GUY!

In a hobby dominated by male archetypes (or clichés), sometimes what a campaign needs is a woman’s touch. The days of the woman being merely a piece of treasure or a plaything at a local watering hole are over. Sometimes it’s fun to let a woman take the lead.

 

We talk about some of the strong women in history and pop-culture and how they have helped mold the gamer culture.
