Diversity

[Twilight_Sonata]

I really, really like this game, but does it bother anybody else how this game has, like, no diversity at all? Surely this has been brought up before. The Hero characters are about evenly split between men (9) and women (7), I guess, but my work on the supporting cast of townsfolk has made me realize that there are far more men (8) there than women (1). Even male zombies are features far more prominently than female zombies. Then, of course, we have the obvious issue of Rachelle being the only character that isn't white. Top it off with effect's like Amanda's "Beautiful" and the Zombie card "This Could Be Our Last Night On Earth", making it clear that ever single character in this game (with the possible exception of Father Joseph) is 100% straight.

Now, I do get that this game is supposed to be based on zombie movies and that zombie movies themselves don't exactly have a fantastic track record when it comes to character diversity, but I don't think that it's too much to ask for that maybe the developers consider mixing it up a bit, as more modern movies are beginning to do. I can do some of the work myself (my group has house-ruled, for example, that "This Could Be Our Last Night On Earth" will work with any two characters rather than only one male and one female character), but it'd be nice if I didn't need to.
