A strange little side quest
One reason fashion and style keeps producing good game ideas around Adventures of Brave Bob is that its history is full of strange turns. In 18th-century America, upper-class men as well as women wore make-up, a reminder that beauty customs have never been as fixed as they can seem. The broader history adds one more wrinkle. By 1987, fantasy role-playing had become a major computer-game direction, with Zelda, licensed Dungeons & Dragons games and other story-led adventures expanding the form. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Adventures of Brave Bob feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
