[QUOTE="Cadence, post: 8616018, member: 6701124"] First person who ran a game for me was a female high school student who was a sitter for me and my sisters in 1981. One of my first DMs in the early 80s was a woman who had wargammed with the Rockford & Lake Geneva folks from the early days. That game had a female high school student too (playing with an older brother younger brother), but that was one out of two dozen players that rotated in and out. Didn't particularly look to recruit people one way or the other, but that was it for female gamers in my groups until the early 90s. Since then there has usually been at least one or two. No racial or ethnic minorities that I can remember in any ttrpg group I've been in. (Or my neighborhoods growing up, or schools... :-/ ). The MtG groups I've been in had more both in the mid-to-late 90s and last decade, but it had more people in general to run into. [/QUOTE]
