[QUOTE="jbear, post: 4741707, member: 75065"] I don't think it's fair to say high schoolers are inherently dumb. I know a lot of very clever kids. When I was at high scholl I certainly was not inherently dumb. Actually as i've got older I find myself feeling dumber every day. Teenagers are just as varied and complicated as adults. they are dealing with massive waves of changing hormones and trying to find where they fit into the world. I don't think crass marketing techniques on the internet is going to work. However, taking Nintendo for example, they have been very clever bring video consoles to a female market, a gold mine previously untouched and largely ignored. Wii, and games like Brain Training or even Playstations Sing Star have changed that. If Dnd were to bring young women interested into the game, I'm sure that would have a snowball effect, after all one of the beautiful things about dnd is its a fun, socially interactive game. I don't know the best or most effective way to do this, but lewd videos doesn't seem like a good place to start. I can just imagine a table full of horny boys, wondering where all the hot chicks they were promised are going to arrive. I can say that with 4e I have introduced 7 new people to the game, 3 of them women. None of us are young (in our 30's), but the women are very quick on the uptake, and very clever in the resolution of problems, and social interaction. Amongst them is one of the strongest motivators in the group, always encouraging to meet as regularly as possible. The comments from all the players at the beginning was all very similar. Curiosty, always having wanted to try it but never having the opportunity. And certainly misconceptions, comments on the assassins way back all those years. Problems that we now see proyected onto violent young men and video games. What needs to be done is that old stigma needs to be removed and a new positive image given. Improvised theatre games with dice and death, laughter, tension and overall fun. [/QUOTE]
