Super-being says, "You know, I only need 1250 XP to reach the next level of whup-ass, and you look like you're worth 1251 XP..."

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"...

I say have a really nice black and white line drawing on one side and stats on the backside. Vertical or horizontal, it doesn't matter to me. A funny alternative might be to have the pic and stats on one side, and a pic of the defeated monster on the other.

Have you thought of DMing her solo just so she can get a taste of the game?

You must play 2ed...9th level took forever to reach.

It depends. For some geeks, it may be a lack of social skills. For others, it may simply be an interest in activities traditionally defined as geeky. There's a mixture of both types of geeks, although it's usually easy to tell them apart. Ever notice that when your go to a restaurant, the...

Well there are exceptions :D

Well there's the rub. Are we talking about an attractive girl or a girl worth knowing? Not that they are mutually exclusive. Plenty of geeks get attractive girls, and plenty of geeks don't. Despite what some girls say about "honesty" and "niceness" being the most important qualities, studies...

Anyone create or belong to a D&D/D20 myspace community? Might be a good way to form gaming groups!

I say potato, you say potato...er, well it comes out better when spoken, not written.

In other words, men are more crude? Yeah, I might go with that. However, one thing I've noticed is that girl gamers are more violent (in game). Example: the druidess who casts cause serious wounds on a poor 0th level farmer. Keep in mind this is just my experience, I'm not trying to...

Mine is a mix between Tolkien and Robert Jordan, with some Iron Kingdoms and Eberron thrown in. Doesn't make sense does it.

Haha, well maybe we'll just have to agree to disagree! Or maybe you hang out with less superficial, shallow girls than I do? I guess the only way to really answer this would be to ask women how they feel. Of course, this board isn't exactly the place to do it.

I haven't ever been to a con so I'll have to take your word for it, but of all the female gamers I know, none of them are ugly. Icy Cool: What I am saying is that even if don't act ashamed of gaming when around the girls, the girls might still have a problem with gaming. Am I condoning this...

I disagree. I know a lot of girls who find gaming a turn-off, and that has absolutely NOTHING to do with me or anyone else. Society has programmed them to think that way. I'm not going to try defending myself except to say that you don't know me. I somewhat agree with you here. Yes, if you...

I considered that, and I feel that may have been "part" of her argument, but honestly I think she was bragging. Of course, only she knows for sure, right? I could very well have been completely off in my observation, but it doesn't mean I won't make that observation if I think I am correct...

You posted on a messageboard, be prepared for opinions that may offend you. The fact is, your looks really have nothing to do with your point, and I still believe my point is valid. I hope that the comments you took offense to did not obscure my main points, which had nothing to do with...

Well you sure as **** better not call them 'supplemental'! Great story! When I was in high school I gamed pretty regularly with my friends (ahhh, back in the day when you could game to your heart's desire). We were all dorks, but most of us managed a thin veneer of acceptability while at...

I'm gonna address a few issues in your rant. Please don't take anything too personally. I think you are fishing for attention here. Your argument in this rant is that as a girl you are treated unfairly. There's no need to mention your looks. A valid point, although once again you refer to...

I had a friend back in elementary school named "Hung Suk". It took me a while to figure out why my dad laughed at his name. I guess it's a good thing he moved back to Korea before middle school came around.
