[QUOTE="ArielManx, post: 917731, member: 11220"] In our main campaign I currently run two characters, one female, one male. The female has been my character since day one, the male was a NPC that I took over. Playing the male hasn't been difficult at all. I just get myself into a different mindset when I'm being Devin as opposed to Zorra. The characters have very different personalities and I think that makes a bigger distinction than gender. I hate to admit it, but I do lower my voice a bit as Devin...but not just because he's a man, but also because he tends to be in the lead and has to handle introductions, planning discussions, etc. Zorra is more meek and shy and rarely says much at all. Devin has a stronger voice to reflect his role in the party. A male player in our campaign has a female character and does a fine job with her, and the male DM's female NPCs are very well played. There's never been any problems of anyone being uncomfortable playing the opposite gender. I think it depends a lot on the maturity of your players. Ariel [/QUOTE]
