[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 5635349, member: 52734"] I've run across a couple of RPGs that have a slightly different outlook towards women - Space 1889 is one that stands out in my mind. If everyone's on board with the idea, and as long as every character still has something to do when things "go south" and the adventure begins, I don't see a problem with limiting certain roles to men or women, if it fits the campaign's society. Of course, all throughout our history, there's always been exceptions to the social norm - and adventurers are almost always exceptional in some way. I don't think I'd make a [I]hard[/I] limit against certain roles, but someone wanting to step out of the social norm should be ready for the scorn that would likely be heaped on them if they're discovered (the effete male who poses as a priest, the disguised lady captain who can outcuss her companions, etc.). Someone will always want to buck tradition, often just to see if they can get away with it. [/QUOTE]
