Womenfolk

[Yagathai]

I'm curious: Do we have any female gamers that patronize these forums? It just struck me that the demographic seems to be skewing overwhelmingly male, even for an indie gaming system.

I've had many many women in my demos. Usually one in four, but sometimes more, sometimes less.

However, I suspect it's just us men slowly sinking into our uncomfortable office chairs.

why do you ask, yag?

I've had many women, but never in a demo.
You kinky man you.

Sorry, just had to. :oops:

[Yagathai]

My office chair is very comfortable, thank you. ;)

I was just wondering. The thought struck me, and I wanted to see if I was right or not-as-right.

[Jackie]

Yes. I am one. Well, a girl.

Besides, what a better place to pick up gamer women :lol:

[spring_violet]

So it's me and Jackie - that's it?

[Manicrack]

yeah, somehow it's mostly us guys playing RPG's

I know one girl who plays 'em, but *cry* she's just another misdirected D&D follower.

More power to us then. Let's show these men what we're made of. :lol:

I guess I'm lucky: my group is comprised of seven people, three of which are women. I'm really grateful for this: it tends to open up role-playing opportunities a lot more, and generally prevents gaming sessions from devolving into lame tough-guy contests (I say generally, because one of the women in the group consistently plays a swaggering bully, God love her).

I am part of a large community of gamers that has a healthy compliment of women. Some are SOs but not all. All three of my wives were gamers although my current life-mate, spring, was more a sci-fi nerd before cajoling her into gaming. Now she spouts gamer-ish with the best of 'em and grouses that she can :)

She won't admit it but in the height of our D&D exploration she knew how Attacks of Opportunity worked :twisted:

We had one girl in a gaming group I had a couple years ago she always played a pushy aggressive barbarian women so not much role player there just total smash. I'd like to get a few girls in our game but my wife gets irrationally jealous if I'm in a room with another women (other than at work) for 8+ hours. It'd be refreshing though, since our current group is actually pretty role play intensive AND not prone to machismo; I'd like to role play something with a women who's not actually a man pretending to be a woman. I'm all for versimilitude but sometimes it gets wierd.

We had a woman ask if she could join our gaming group once. We told her "yes" of course, but it was just a ploy. When she showed up for the game we handed her an apron and told her to go make dinner...

Okay, that's not true. In fact, if someone handed Nikki an apron and told her to go make dinner on a game night they would likely die a terrible death. And then any witnesses would have their eyes gouged out.

I've played without the ladies and with the ladies, and have been fortunate enough that my gaming has been pretty much as fun both ways. So, I'd say there's not much difference, except that I like the ladies so much...

[AnyaTheBlue]

I just saw this burble up to the top.

I'm mostly a lurker, but I'm here too!

[lilianderson]

how sad not to be the only girl.

[AnyaTheBlue]

Sorry -- I are confus-ed! Why is that sad?

[lilianderson]

I was kidding, friend. :D
