Reading Raymond E. Feist's Magician

[bunn]

Me : it's like all the women come from a really short catalogue of fantasy women. " I'll have three Feisty Ones, six Simpering Women, twenty anonymous Servants..."

philmophlegm (with sarcasm...) : "Well, what other types of fantasy women are there...?"

*ponders*

"Oh yes, Limara the She-Wildebeeste."

Am also amused by the chainmail concept : I imagine REF thinking "hmmm.  How could we make the One Ring even cooler?  Ooh, ooh,  we'll have lots of them and we'll knit them into chainmail armour and have someone wear it!  Take THAT JRRT! "

I wouldn't say male roleplayer = shallow female characters. I know one or two women roleplayers whos male characters tend to be better than their female ones, and some male RPers who's female characters are awesome.

Quite true. But the movement of RPG to book... well, doesn't work very well.
