    Does your game pass the Bechdel Test?

    Yep. In my main groups but not my alt groups. But I don't know where that "speak something else than about men" comes. Sounds something movies like to do with female characters, but rpg:s are different animal entirely. That doesn't really get included into out-off-game topics. And in-character...

    Gaming, not just for the sane.

    I have some days when I do nothing but sit around computer never mind if I play or not. When I was younger I stayd up week and then had trouble falling asleep and finally did, my family couldn't wake me up for two days and were really worried and then I just waked up with really dry mounth and...

    To anyone who can read & write in Finnish

    Fiinland don't have that traditional ways to end letter, but I use simple ones like. Ystävällisesti (friendly), "your name" Terveisin Ystävällisin terveisin. "your name" --- this is most formal Or referance to some time, like - Kesäisin terveisin "your name" (summertime referance)

    What is "gamist"?

    I never liked those words. They seems stupid. English is not my language and they feel really fake and forced.

    Evil Socities in DnD

    Evil sociates are fine what comes to rpg and other works of imagination. That said, drow were never my favourite. It relates to fact it's more elf-love, and I have kinda been anti-elf since I read Forgotten Realm elves. For some reason elf-like sub-races/aliens seems to be common choice when...

    Sexism and presumed sexism in RPGs

    You have point here, but you did make me go little "huh". I don't control why art/sociaty works like that what. And I've given up long time ago, that certain over-sexual trends would change. We even have Toddlers & Tiaras as wise internet has taught me. And I happen to like sexualized art. And...

    Sexism and presumed sexism in RPGs

    Here is my experience. Me and other women/girls who play rpg:s have grown really thick skin. This is kinda requiment or you'll end up stopping rpg:s. Men/boys however, can be more unsure and easily emotional. This is because of some extra attitudes they have to endure. I have seen pretty much...

    Continuum

    I find series bit too much on boring side. Not so special. Main lead isn't very good actor. I don't believe into her mommy stuff. Character doesn't feel real. There are problems with other actors too, but they don't have so much camera time. I still watch it, but I don't know how long. Maybe...

    Sexism and presumed sexism in RPGs

    Lol. Oh yes. Some of my friends have jokingly nicknamed some ladies in in recent book in that good gods book "ladies to masturbate to". Not that they do, but bothering to joke about it, tells a lot. And some of this game from fully dressed pictures, because of facial expression and pose. Then...

    Snow White and the Huntsman (spoilers)

    Uh. Saw the movie. It was horrible mainly because of a) main lead and b) plot. It was kinda boring. Lady Snow White had 2 different looks sour jaw closed and confused annoyed jaw open looks. Can't she smile, really. I think she was acting herself. I wonder how that girl made popular movie star...

    Sexism and presumed sexism in RPGs

    I agree with TanithT about porn. And problem with that is, that most of porn isn't really good/cool/truly sexy/and has ugly people IMO. And thus makes really not such good ground for art for rpg:s. Erotic art in the other hand works as better inspiration. Some artists can handle porn-art but...

    Sexism and presumed sexism in RPGs

    Mmh, art. Modern pathfinder art in some books contain very many sexy females. But they are also cool pics. Sadly less sexy males. Also I notice that female pictures poses/clothes/looks/what kinda smiles etc. makes them much more sexy than male pictures. Most artist are males, and many artist...

    Female-friendly game design?

    I have noticed that female players vary like male players. Most like being skillful and kick ass. Most females really hate system that forces them to play "females roles" and get sub-par stats because of that. Male players tend to have more female characters in those systems than femele ones, if...
