I don't label the gaming world as a whole for my slightly negative experience. This thread has shown a large majority of men to be very open to women players. I have noticed that the gamers on this site are predominantly from the US and the whole RPG industry and gamers are huge in comparison to here in the UK. This would probably explain as to why there is more exceptance over there due to the fact there are a lot more female players. I will take your advice and definatly visit GenCon thanksQueen_Dopplepopolis said:

Anyway, since I have not said before, congratulations on the coming girl Scratched and Solar, I hope many barbarians and fighters tales will be told of her characters!
By the way, nice to se myself quoted, makes me feel even more into the ENWorld family.
Rika, I wish you well with your boy, I can imagine how hard it must be, but i know there i aso great sense of acomplishment. I have a friend who has been in a wheel chair since he was born, when he walked using that thing old people usually use when they have a hard time walking alone, the metal one with wheels on it, I cried like a baby... it was when we finished high school, at the ceremony held for parents and studeents wit that batman cloth an all... I know how hard it was fo him to get there.
As for names, i have a thread link for elven names somewhere, if Angcuru is stilla round you may get a tolkien elveish name by giving him what meaning you want it to have.
Either this one or this one.

Hi Sarajaine - I really don't think there's a general lack of acceptance of female gamers in the UK. Maybe in Middlesborough.
Although some may see me as an oppressive male patriarchalist (I'm looking at you Goblyns Hoard)
I've never had any problem with female players & GMs, and I think the vast majority of male UK gamers are the same. Some groups have a guys-only thing, and I guess maybe the group I GM'd in school might not have been very accepting to girls, but from University age up I think that's pretty rare.dungeon blaster

People stereotype based upon how you look. No matter HOW you look. There are certain stereotypes for all kinds of appearances. Not all of them are bad, not all of them are good and a lot of times none of them are true.
I once had someone say to me "You play Dungeons and Dragons? Oh my god you look so normal".
Yeah, she is.
As I stated before, I'm aware that there are stereotypes, but there are several different ways of addressing those stereotypes without bragging. "my appearance doesn't fit the gamer girl stereotype" is one way of saying it. Another way would be "I'm not unattractive". Comparing yourself to a cheerleader and calling attention to your looks several times in one post IS bragging (especially if you post a pic of yourself in a bikini). People brag, it makes them feel good, and it's not a huge deal. I'm sorry I made it one.
BTW, if SJ wants to use an elven name, she could try the encyclopedia of arda (just google it). Just don't forget that the kid has to live with the name until she's 18 (poor, poor Moonunit).

It's not the lack of acceptance I men't but more so a lack of female players in my area. I have not explored this aspect in great detail tho and I'm sure given the time I will find some.S'mon said:Hi Sarajaine - I really don't think there's a general lack of acceptance of female gamers in the UK.
