Female, and “uppity”. Cope.
#RPG (real ones: #TTRPG, not #CRPG) player since 1978. Yes, statistically it’s likely I’ve been playing RPGs longer than you’ve been alive. I came to RPGs from the drama flake side of the fence, not wargaming, so I have opinions on gaming that aren’t shared by most of my generation.
The flags in my display name illustrate my citizenship, my birthplace (and my father’s birthplace) and my place of residence (and my mother’s birthplace) from the outside in.
@naught101 Chivalry & Sorcery has been, from day one, an attempt to emulate the medieval world in fantasy right down to a very complete “influence” system building politics right into everything.
Legend of the Five Rings has courtly politics built into it. So does the old Pendragon game. Spark (and Sig) has factions and factional beliefs/conflict baked in as the core concept of the game.
ACKS had politics as the “end-game” so to speak. And I have hazy memories of Ars Magica doing politics.
