Message: <blockquote data-quote="Belen" data-source="post: 2088453" data-attributes="member: 1405">1. How many female roleplayers do you have presently in your campaign(s)? 32. Percentagewise, with how many females did you share your hobby in your own gaming history so far in comparison to the males? 25%3. How do female roleplayers change the style of play in your groups? IME, they add depth to the game and often think of things that the men miss.  I prefer to have a lady in my game and cannot imagine gaming without them.4. Do you think that female roleplayers are more drawn in to the storytelling aspect of the game? If so, why? Not really.  It really depends on what a person wants from the game.  IME, most of the women prefer the story aspect, but that is not 100% true.5. Do you think that female roleplayers are more or less immune to powergaming/maximizing? If so, why? No6. Do you think that female roleplayers are generally ignorant about the rules, concentrating more on the stories and the roleplaying itself? No7. Where do you see advantages/disadvantages of a group that features some/majority/none female roleplayers? I do not see any disadvantages.8. Why do you think that male roleplayers are the vast majority in the hobby? Society.  There has long been a stereotype between the genders.  I believe it is changing.9. Do you think that socalled "Storytelling Games" like e.g. "Vampire" draw more female roleplayers to their genre than traditional roleplaying games like D&D? If so, why? Dress up?  Actually, I am willing to bet the number of women D&D players is larger than the number of women Vamps10. Are there systems/settings out there in your estimation that are completely devoid of female roleplayers? If so, why? No11. Do you know female gamers, that, even after some years of play, have only miniscule/no knowledge of even the simplest rules? If so, why? No12. Did you ever play in groups that only featured female gamers? Did you (if so, how often percentagewise) play in a group that only featured male gamers? NoHow do those groups differ in style?13. Do you think a lot of female gamers are drawn into the hobby because their boyfriends are already playing it, or they want to get to know a boy better in the group, rather than out of personal interest? Yes/No.  It is a factor, but I do not believe the majority would play without some interest in the hobby14. Have you ever seen relationships break in a group, maybe even while playing? If so, why? No15. Do you think that female gamers are more prone to draw private problems/conflicts into the actual roleplaying than males? If so, why? HELL no16. Is there generally more quarreling in a group that features some female gamers? If so, why? Could this be also to the benefit of the gaming, e.g. problemes are being dicussed rather that ignored? No17. Do you think that the general approach of a female gamer is different from a male gamer? If so, how? Yes/No.  People solve problems in a different way from other people.  They may have a different perspective in one situation and the same in other.  If they differ at all, then it has to do with individual experience.</blockquote>
