This month Matty is joined by Deborah Southwell and Peter Nixon to tackle the tricky but important subject of gender in historical games. They discuss some of their own experiences from playing in games where this has been handled well, or handled badly.
They also speak about potential ways to approach the design of historical games to try to tackle some of these issues and make things better for all.
Some of the resources mentioned during the episode;
Peter’s appearance on The Great Game podcast
