Back when I was in Middle School my groups consisted of all boys. My more recent groups have been fifty/fifty. Gender is not an issue for us at all, and the idea that D&D is a "man's game" is met with scorn. We have come to the consensus that it is far easier for someone to roleplay a human of...

Well, unlike with normal monsters, you won't have to worry about a reason the Slaad do anything they do. You can have the Slaad pelt the characters with several varieties of cheese if you want.

All of the people I game with are in the "close friends" category, and I do a lot with them outside the game, so I never really have a problem with them. If there is a problem, like there is minor squabbling between the brother and sister pair, I'll just talk to them about it.

I wouldn't care if someone has a gigantic book filled with every fact about the Forgotten Realms ever, I'd still not play with a bigot. I would miss his book, though.

I keep typing things like that too, only to remember at the last minute this forum doesn't allow politics.

You might want to have referred that you were talking to me for that second sentence there, *insert your real name here*. And when I said my gaming group, I mean Buckley and Nelson and LeRoy-elder. You and LeRoy-younger roleplay. Kemple is what we refer to as a watcher. And of course I've...

Oh please, we aren't being that sensitive. So, anyway, you intended for your original post to be controversial, and now you are suprised when we called you on it? Yeah, that doesn't make sense.

So why is your original post posed in such a way that you make it sound like it is the fault of female players that your male players have social interaction issues?

What? Why is it every time someone expresses their dislike of 4e, it's automatically assumed they had pre-conceived negative assumptions. What is it about 4e that makes it so that we can't dislike it in peace?

Incorrect. 2e was basically dead when 3e was announced. 3.5e was still alive when 4e was announced.

Pirates. Pirates have gunpowder weaponry. However, if we are talking D&D, ninjas, because they can go ethereal and incorporeal and all that jazz.

I don't like half-orcs. I don't know why, I've just never played one. The fact that orcs can mate (or, as is the case with most half-orcs unfortunately, rape) with humans, and aren't genetically close to them like elves or are naturally magically fertile like dragons or outsiders. Yes, I know...

So, why exactly is this question posed towards the female gamers? It is the fault of your players if they don't know that the proper way to treat a female player is just to ignore the whole double X chromosome thing and treat them like what they are....a person. Women are in fact people...

Wow... Very well done. I applaud your DMing and writing skills. I wish I had such excellent roleplayers as a group. If presented with a plot as rich such as this one, they'd draw blanks. "So...how much XP is a baernaloth?" would be the general reaction...:hmm: I love how in those dramatic...

As a DM, the only thing I ever recall banning is Evil characters, especially if they are in a party with good characters. While some interparty drama is good for the roleplaying experience, some is too much. They make the other players want to punish them, and they are to hard to make adventure...
