Careful, some of the guys in here might construe that as sexist.

Are you one of those DMs who think his opinion matters more than those of his players? I'm not going to 'slap' my players around and tell them what to do or who to play with like I know better than them what makes a good gaming experience. If you want to invite girls to your poker night, go...

The post was intended to be controversial. I was hoping for some debate, maybe a good point or two. I didn't think the responses would be so negative. A lot of people seem to get off calling me a bigot when all I wanted were opinions. There were some constructive posts sharing positive...

I'm pretty sure if you took the time to read the post, you'd see that I make a point of blaming the male gamers for a lot of these social interaction issues. I don't recall judging anyone on any merits. If you want to say that there are no complications when a poker-esque group of guys have a...

Clever. But I'm not white. I'm not going to defend the political correctness of questioning the benefits of having a female gamer at the table as I'm sure it really isn't politically correct. I believe there is a distinction between men and women. I don't think there is a difference in...

Yep, this thread has succeeded to bring in those people who think of themselves as knowledgeable, insightful or enlightened who are really just bullies. Seriously, some really judgmental posts. Duly noted, there were some constructive posts, for which I am grateful, but most people have...

I treat female friends differently from my 'boys' in the same way I treat my work friends differently from my high school buddies. It's not a question of maturity. I don't curse or tell dirty jokes when I'm talking to children or sensitive people. I don't eat with my fingers at a fancy...

T-T Now I want all a complete collection :( <-- jealous

To be honest, I'm sure I act different when I'm with my female friends from how I act when I am with my boys. Isn't that the same for everyone though?

While going through my new miniature collection, I've noticed this to be the trend. You know that episode where Homer wants to become an inventor? Remember the makeup shotgun? Yep. These are the victims.

To clarify, I am not actively seeking out female gamers but I do have some female friends who have expressed an interest in joining our group of players. I suppose the idea was to ask how I could include them without changing the atmosphere of the group. Most of the situations I described in...

Clearly the way I phrased my question ultimately determines it's answer. The fact that I have some legitimate concerns really suggests that I am closed minded despite the fact that I am asking for advice. Maybe I can do a search for funny posts about ignorant players who will assume the worst...

Having played d&d almost exclusively with an all male group, the concept of a female gamer is somewhat foreign to me. In the dozen or so sessions I've played with female players, I've found that female gamers, by virtue of their gender alone, change the gameplay experience dramatically. Most...

Yeah, Auggie's is where I got my minis. I got all the players to pitch in $10 dollars and bought ~$55 worth of minis. Got about 150 common/uncommons :D

Nothing cures promiscuosity like unintentional incest. If he is a womanizer, I would imagine that the chances of one or both of his parents are better than average. If he finds out that he's banged his half sister (or even long lost whole sister) he might take more time to consider his...

Before buying these minis, I'd been looking at miniatures compulsively for about 4 months. I don't even know how to play the miniature game; I purchased them exclusively as figurines for my d&d campaign. I probably won't ever use all these minis but it's a strange comfort to know that if I...

I shelled out $60 a couple of weeks ago on some d&d minis and they arrived today! The waiting felt like forever although it had only been 2 weeks but I am now a proud owner of over a hundred minis! I can't wait to use them during my next session on Saturday. Just felt like sharing my...

Take out all the flavour text. Seriously, some of it is pretty cheesy.

I did the same painstakingly drawing lines in with a .6 mm sharpie. After the first session, 30% of the lines were gone. What I did was I engraved the grids using a ballpoint pen and now it works quite well.

Pretty sweet layout for your myconian. The art is nice too!
