[QUOTE="hoyagerv, post: 1616245, member: 20498"] Just to add my own two cents... My experience with female gamers over the last four years, has, to say the least, been disheartening. Our group has played with three women and only one has roleplayed with any amount of talent. In the campaign I ran for three years, my lone female player was terrible. While everyone else was thoroughly involved in the game, she showed very little interest and never even learned the most basic of rules. Whenever she did try, she would fall back into that female stereotype, using her womanly charms to effect solutions to problems I presented. While I would have no problem with this kind of behavior if it fit her character, she happened to be a Paladin of Tyr. As you can imagine, I often had to remind her that her actions were not exactly befitting her class. I must say that I am envious of those groups that have had good experiences with women. I have also thought that a good female roleplayer would introduce a dynamic into the game that mine has been sorely lacking. Women, generally speaking, think differently than man, and thus are capable of coming up with innovative solutions to problems. With that being said, Chaos Kitten, my group is also in the Northern VA area (Arlington). It consists of only men, aged 22-23, all fresh out of college (all Georgetown grads, if my username didn't give it away). We're all respectable gentlemen--at least we'd like to think so--and would enjoy the company of a competent female roleplayer at our table. If you're interested, just send me an email at [email]kmg4@georgetown.edu[/email]. Actually, this invitation goes out to anyone in the NOVA, Southern MD, or DC area. Best of luck finding a group capable of appreciating what has always been almost as mystical as anything found in the Monster Manual--a talented female roleplayer. Keith [/QUOTE]
