[QUOTE="nedjer, post: 5273729, member: 83796"] The OP on 'Girls (females) in D&D/ Roleplaying' manages to/ sets out to completely skip the question of attitudes to, (and attitudes about doing anything about attitudes to), women TRPG players. Time to 'fess up' properly: [LIST=1] [*] Have you or are you willing to (AYWT) make a distinction between the positive portrayal of women in games/ gaming and sexist portrayals? [*] Have you or AYWT accept that the consistent use of pictures of bikini-clad women strolling through snowfields alongside rug-wrapped barbarian men is potentially discouraging for some female gamers? [*] Have you or AYWT go out of your way to recruit or encourage girls/ females to join a gaming group? [*] Have you or AYWT go out of your way to encourage girls/ females to join RPG communities? [*] Have you or AYWT tell a publisher, (by email, blog or f2F), that you'd like to see more positive portrayals of women in RPGs? [*] Have you or AYWT present youngsters with equal opportunities to get involved in RPGs? [*] Have you or AYWT adapt rules, settings and gameplay to offer a mix or balance of mystery, exploration, investigation, characterisation and novelty alongside combat-focused gameplay? (Either to encourage all kids equally or females). [*] Have you or AYWT adjust your RPG purchasing habits to at least limit sexist content/ contexts? [*] Have you or AYWT actively discourage obvious and persistent sexism at your game table, e.g. don't laugh along with the jokes/ speak up if a female player appears uncomfortable with some of what's being said?
