How many liters of beer yesterday, Will?

...there is no romantic energy expended between any of us, even in character. I'm not sure if we're just wierd, or if we're how a mixed-gender gaming group is supposed to operate under ideal circumstances.

I think it's the latter. I mean, why does everything involving mixed genders have to be sexually charged? It's tiresome.

Wish I'd found this thread earlier, though it seems to have degraded into a bunch of gawking guys. Though I'm no longer single I do remember what being a single gamer girl was like.

Me personally, I'm a gamer girl. My hubby considers himself one of the luckiest guys on earth for finding a girl who games of her own accord, not just someone who is dragged to the table by her boyfriend (I met him at the gaming table, his first D&D game since coming back home from the Marines). I'm sure there are plenty of geeky gamer girls out there just waiting to be made, who'd love the game of their own accord if someone just showed them how it was played (in a method that a girl would like, because let's face it, most women have different styles of play than men)

and here's my favorite picture of myself, even though it's 5 years old.

See, that's what I'd call a 'gamer chick' pic - and you still look very nice IMO!

Hm. What's wrong with the above conversation?

I was commenting on the opinion of a prior poster that 'regular female gamer'=good, 'gamer chick'=bad. Likewise it was opined that 'regular male gamers' were preferable to 'gamer dudes'.

Well, me and my players are in the 'regular male gamer' bracket, but at Gencon UK I met a fair number of 'gamer dudes' (no one from EN World!), particularly in the 1am-6am All Flesh Must Be Eaten game I was foolish enough to sign up for. Well, they looked a bit odd and perhaps some of them didn't wash very often (which is not a problem with gamer chicks BTW, I think that's a male-only thing) but they were all very nice people and not nearly as scary as they looked. The one playing a PC with an Irish accent even apologised to Upper_Krust and me in case we took offense (he was English, we're from N Ireland)!

umm...does that mean you think I'm large and scary and shouldn't be wearing that outfit?

Not from what I can see...
"bossomy" though , especially in that dress... but certainly appreciated by all the guys .

p.s.: I'd say you look very nice... but my girlfriend sometimes reads these boards, lol.
