I'am 27 and have been gaming on and off for little over 5 years. My wonderfull hubby, Guillaume, who is also a gamer, introduced me to the game, I've been hooked since then. I must admit that I had very bad prejudices about RPGs before starting to play, mostly because I had no idea what it was. I've always been interested by medieval fantasy stuff (books, art, movies, etc.) but now more than ever. I decided to try RPG table-top gaming because: 1) it was my husband's favourite hobby, 2) I couldn't stand knowing he was having so much fun without me  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> 3) I couldn't stand not understanding what he was doing and why he was having so much fun.I haven't gamed with many women. The first was friend of ours and an avid gamer, but we only had time for one game before every one went their way. The second was also a friend which we introduced to D&D (I personnaly started out with GURPS), but then we moved. The third was in more steady group, but it fell apart as everyone went their way, again. After than I've played with another group where I was the only female gamer. It lasted 2 years, but then we moved, again! I've played on and off as a single player with my hubby as DM over these 5 years and I'm now playing a PbP game with only men. I've tried only once to DM and wasn't very good at it, probably because of my lack of self-confidence  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" /> . We've tried to start gaming with the local Grayhawk group, but they keep setting games on weekends we can't go!I'm actually on the home stretch of my PhD in environmental sciences (biology  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> ). I have a masters in oceanography (marine biology) and BSc in biology. I'm a french canadian, hey  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> , and live in Rimouski (a small city in Eastern Quebec). I like reading, sports, gardening, painting, drawing, sewing, RPG games (PC, console, tabletop), games in general, none of which I have time to enjoy properly because of my workload. Gawed, I can't wait to be able to take my weekends off!Sorry for the length of the post  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />EDIT: Oh, and I like girly girly stuff. I usually don't wear much makup, but given the occasion, I like to pamper myself. I like shoes, although I'm terribly hard to fit. I also like clothes, especially the ones I make myself, when I get them right  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> , because they usullay fit me! However, my financial situation being what it is, I usually don't go shoping very often  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /> .Julie</blockquote>
