[QUOTE="Herpes Cineplex, post: 1720878, member: 16936"] That's part of the fun of it, though: just think, at any moment, the fragile vehicle of well-reasoned discussion can totally derail, maiming passengers and passersby alike, or maybe just flooding the streets with seven million gallons of burning molasses. Threads like this keep you sharp, man. They help you keep your edge. ;) I'm actually trying a female character for the first time ever...well, barring the Call of Cthulhu module we played many years back ("Devil's Children" from Pagan) where everyone had to play young Puritan girls for the first half of the session. But this is the first female PC I've ever actually designed from the ground up, with the help of a fair amount of reality-checking of her background from the women who play in our group. It seems to be going well, though we'll need to play more sessions for me to be able to really judge whether it's working out or not. So far, though, there's only been one incident of pronoun confusion, and no complaints. Then again, two of the most popular NPCs from games I've run were female, so maybe my group's just inclined to give me a free pass when playing cross-gender. (Which is kind of a disturbing idea, now that I think about it. :\ ) On the other hand, none of our male GMs have ever had any complaints about their female NPCs (nor the female GMs about their male NPCs), so maybe we're just not that discriminating. -- i think i'll go with that, rather than imply that i'm somehow deficient in masculinity ryan [/QUOTE]
