ENWorld women

[Queenie]

Hi Everyone!

Queenie here, alias LisaMarie. My hubby got me interested in gaming when he invited 5 strangers from the Internet over to play D+D. I have been playing regularly for a year and a half, not counting one summer a while back that we played quite often.

There is one other female in our gaming group, and one that left recently. It was all guys to start with and they were BEGGING me to play, as I guess they all felt having a female play added to the dynamics. I guess they probably regret it now, as we have to now know the name of EVERY store we pass in town

I have two degrees, one in Fashion Design and the other in Textile Design. I was working in NYC until 9/11, and after that I couldn't take the stress of it anymore (I live on Long Island and the commute was horrible). Now I stay home, work for the family business and the most important thing in my life (besides my wonderful hubby) is trying to start a family.

I am a girly girl, into clothes and fashion, makeup and all that fun stuff. I love to read (just finished Harry Potter), see movies, any kind of entertainment really. And I love to game, maybe more than most people in our group at this point.

Anyway, it is great to see so many women on these boards!

Kahuna Burger: I'm with you on makeup! And dresses, actually. I just feel like a man in drag!

I can just about pull off a skirt, but I've never really figured out how to shave my legs properly, so I don't wear them often.

Hi Queenie!

I know lots of girls who game, although I'd be hard-pressed to call them "gamers" exactly. They are mostly gamers by association, either with their SO's or their older brothers. That doesn't mean they aren't good.

My girlfriend's plays whenever I run. She denies the gamer impulse, but I see that gleam in her eye sometimes.

Our friend's now-ex-wife was the star at our table. She was the one who always figured out the puzzle (something women players seem to be really good at, IME), and she realized how exploitable an archer build was way before any other players at my table did.

We have another guy friend whose girlfriend games with him.

My girlfriend and I have been thinking about putting together a new group consisting of myself DMing, my girlfriend, our friend's ex-wife (we felt bad that she was always stuck taking care of their kids-probably emblematic of why she and my friend broke up), and our friend and his GF, and realized I would be the envy of Enworld if I put together a group with a female majority.

Well if I could tolerate New York or Texas I'd ask for your hand in marriage already.

My group consists of a Male DM... and 5 players... 3 of which are women.

We beat you to it.

Of course it's absurd for me to further wreck the stats by posting this observation but this thread is getting awfully close to men accounting for over 50% of the posters.
