[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9312835, member: 6684958"] Yes, and it worked out so great I have done it ever sense. Set the Wayback Machine for a couple of years ago. I'm running games at the rec...but it's hard to find players....and worse it's hard to find good players that show up to game. So one day I'm at IGA, in the long line to get some meats. Next to me is Mary, a fellow parent I knew a bit. We chat as we wait. Turns out she is a big fantasy fan. I mentioned the "game" and she was a bit intrigued. I told her she should stop by and play a game....she said she would think about it. A week later she came to the rec....with four other moms, who had never gamed before...but all wanted to. As so, The Mad Moms, were founded. And they are some of the best gamers ever. They don't know any cartoon anime and don't know endless houserules some old DM did(but my old DM let me roll 6d20 for each attack!). They knew the rules, but also understood how to role play. A little while later....I was approached by a young girl, Miranda. She had a group of girls ready to play that had never gamed before, and her mom told her to ask me for tips. Her mom was Mary, and Miranda asked me to DM for her group. As this was a group of 8th grade girls, they were my youngest gamers. And they made great gamers. Miranda quickly became my DM Apprentice, or as she would say "my Number One". I found lots of the ancient Dungeon adventures perfect for their group, the Chick Clique. And after the 'legend' of Asflag’s Unintentional Emporium made it's way around....there was a huge rush of girl gamers. Mary and Miranda did not game together...as Miranda was a kid...and Mary was in my 'unrated adult' game. Except for one Very Special Game: The Chick Clique was up against the lich Bzallin, from Bzallin's [I]Blacksphere. [/I]They put of a good fight...and gave it there all...and failed. The lich had all the characters down, and the end was near. When Mary...who was two doors down at a book club meeting...sent me the text [I]'Special Guest Star? Y/N' [/I]And I typed 'Y'. And the girls were all surprised when a moment latter [I]M[/I]ary came into the room[I], [/I]to a "mom I'm gaming!"......and Mary gave a smile and had her character...a seven foot tall Rakasta Paladin 'port in[I]...for two rounds. [/I]Two rounds of distracting the lich...enough time for Miranda's character to free her group...and strike the final blow to the lich. [I][/I] [HEADING=1][/HEADING] [/QUOTE]
