[The Coyote Lode] How do I handle race in an Old West Dungeon Crawl Game?

<< < (2/2)

Troy,
  Certain words have lost their meaning. A perfect example is "Shaman," thanks to Everquest and WoW, there are thousands of people that hear that word and think its another kind of priest (which I guess you can say is true at its most atomic level).
  I think the trick is, you want to avoid stereotypes and avoid casting minorities as the bad guys and/or less evolved unless you do so equally to the majority...
  That isn't to say that there is such a thing as racism math, but you do want to avoid stereotypes or other derogatory depictions...

Hi Troy,

Spend some time at Deeper in the Game. It includes some resources and viewpoints which will at least permit you to decide whether there's an issue.

Best, Ron

I read Chris' blog every day, even going back through his archives and reading old articles.  Thanks for the tip, though.  You can never bring up Deeper in the Game too much IMHO.

Peace,
