Oh, absolutley. If I go with a Minoan Atlantis, the women are going to be featured prominently.

There was an issue of Arcaeology magazine (IIRC) which showed a modern recinstruction of feminine Minoan dress. Must dig that out...

Always choose the option that'll most likely blow up in your own face. You never know when a tribe of werebears is going to want to skin you alive, for instance. Those are the Munchausenesque moments you can brag about over beer for years.

Of course, sometimes you get bitten by vampires infected with bubonic plague, but on the whole, you have a great time.
