Hi guys! I recently got to sit in with my friends over at The Game Master Show podcast and we talked about female characters (specifically in regards to Gaming - RPG), but it still is a pretty interesting discussion on the differences between different types of hero stories and paths and we get into Buffy a lot (since that's my #1 frame of reference for good female characters). I think it'd be a good discussion if you like Buffy, or write female characters or GM or play RPG games.
If you want to listen.
