Try re-reading the quote you pulled.I guess I should have answered it myself.Guess who I mean: EveryoneGuess why: Based on my previous experience.Nothing there about female character being overpowered. What it says is that--based on my previous experiences--the character-types in question were dissallowed for all player wishing to generate PC's.Which has nothing to do with anyhting I've said to this point, up to and including the quote you pulled.I'm glad you consider your game a tool for personal growth, I consider mine conduit for fun. My experiences have shown me that cross-gender pc's take away from fun more often than they add to it. And if you really "do not understand the reluctance of some DM's to allow players to use cross gender RP to explore those differences", then lease re-read (or read) my contributions to this thread for a clearer picture.Well, great. Enjoy.Not in my game.We clearly use our games for different things.  I'm not an actor of any stripe and I'm certainly not looking for a review of my performance from other players, Like I said, it's mostly about fun for me, and cross-gender RP has detracted from the fun at the table too many times in the past for me to see any value in it.Elven RP? Not so much. Dwarven RP? equally so.So they are still allowed. If their portrayals were constantly detrimental to the game, they would be gone as well.and if people thought that was detrimental to the "therapy" aspect of the game, well I wouldn't lose sleep.</blockquote>
