Message: <blockquote data-quote="Brandegoris" data-source="post: 7105247" data-attributes="member: 6867337">When Greg Stafford wrote the game he decided that his guiding influence would be the Literature so the game is consistent with the literature. He realizes that there are issues with females, but also there are several ways to create a character other than rolling randomly. You can design a character using points and make the female however you like. Its a semi-historical game so at the end of the day you must blame HISTORY for the way women were treated as the game follows that to some degree. I would discourage someone from saying its Politically Incorrect in a "BIG" way. That makes it seem as though the designer has set out to offend, and he wouldn't do that.In Fact in the next Edition of KAP the designer has big plans to even the playing field for Female knights to make them More accessible at the expense of realism ( historical Realism I mean). Religion: You roll where you are from and then you are told what the predominant religion is in that region, BUT you can choose a different religion or none at all. Choosing NONE would simply mean that you don't get a "religious Bonus" and the 5 Skills associated with your religion may be weak ( though not Necessarily). It is certainly a game that doesn't appeal to everyone. It is HEAVILY influenced by Le'Morte D'Arthur. That is the problem with having a historically based game. I can certainly see why a Female gamer might not like to participate but I would be careful in how we express the game in negative terms. Greg Stafford doesn't set out in ANY way to offend , he just presents the game world in a very realistic way ( for the Dark Ages) and the Dark ages weren't very PC. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Side note: His wife Suzanne plays all the time and loves the game so it can be done! :OLI do respect your opinion however so please don't take ANY of this as some sort of reprimand.</blockquote>
