And many of us like leaning into these archaic sensibilities when we are exploring our stories so things likeSlavery may be common in some parts of the world, cannabilism is still practised by some, disfigurement may be interpreted as cursed, superstition is rampant, handicapped are mocked, sexism may be a thing in certain cultures, entire peoples considered evil...etcBut combating all the above or piercing through this muddled mess are the PCs.All this to say that I enjoy the world's like Westeros and Essos where GRRM gave us Tyrion, Shireen Baratheon, Jaime Lannister, Varys, the Unsullied, Slavers Bay, the Onion Knight, the Hound...etc</blockquote>
