ENWorld women

[randomling]

I'd love to play in an all-female group (preferably with a female DM, too)! My few experiences of gaming with other women have been fantastic -- from elven girl-bonding to just hanging out with the monk.

Seonaid, Annakie, I saw you both signed up to my boards. You want me to add you to Girl Talk?

 

[Seonaid]

Yep . . . I was wandering around, lookin', and couldn't figure it out (too lazy to look at this thread to find out how). How do I find the guys' board, too? I wanna talk football.

I have no idea why I haven't posted in this thread earlier. Better late than never, though.

I'm female, I DM, and my current players consist of 3 women and 4 men. I'd love it if one of them would consider running a game so I could play sometimes, but alas, I don't see it on the horizon.

I've only been playing since about a month after 3e came out. I had harbored a secret desire to play since the 1970s, but the only people I ever met who played scared the bejeezus out of me. I had no idea where to find other interested people, or buy the books, or anything like that. I started out by playing online with a bunch of nice, normal people, and although it was a great deal of fun, I couldn't continue in that game because everyone else wanted to post during work, and I don't have time to do that. (Am I the only person in the US who actually has 40 hours of work to do each week? It sure seems like it.)

I have both played in and run online games, and I'm on my second tabletop campaign now. For a while I was playing online in alsih2o's Tuesday night online game, but I had to stop because real life got in the way. It's too bad, because I really enjoyed the game. I hope it's still going strong, and if any of you are lucky enough to get invited to play in his game, I advise you to take him up on it.

Buttercup - hello! I think I may know you from somewhere...

Seonaid - you're in, girl! There is no guys' forum any more. We did have one, but it ended up being just another forum to post silly threads in, and we have enough of those already. Football talk sits quite happily in Discuss Anything nowadays, where you can discuss, well, anything. Hope you like it at my house!

Here's another female gamer, age 42. Current occupation Freelance Cartographer and working on publishing own rpg pdf products.

When not working, I read fantasy novels or play NWN.

Thanks wombatgirl.

 

[randomling]

Most welcome, midear.

Oh - and hey, annadobritt! *waves*

I wonder how many of us there are, and how many lurk rather than post?

Well, in that aspect I'm probably as male as can be. I've had one pair of shoes for the last 2 years (and it's the same pair of shoes!). The two years before I had these, I had the exact same style of shoes.

I haven't had 2 pairs (not counting the pair that I wear only to funerals, weddings and the like) since I was at school.

I'm more like a woman I guess, I have like 20 but I wear one all the time, when I'm not working. And I have 2 pairs of athletic shoes and a few hiking and snow boots.

Annakie, welcome to the boards if you haven't gotten an official welcome before!

(What's the point of having shoes you don't wear? Most bewildered.... )

And yes - welcome, Annakie!
