Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nagol" data-source="post: 5270802" data-attributes="member: 23935">1. How many female roleplayers do you have presently in your campaign(s)? 12. Percentagewise, with how many females did you share your hobby in your own gaming history so far in comparison to the males? 15-20%3. How do female roleplayers change the style of play in your groups? Very sliughtly.  A bit less toilet humour.4. Do you think that female roleplayers are more drawn in to the storytelling aspect of the game? If so, why? No.  The motivations for play seem to share the same continuum as male gamers.5. Do you think that female roleplayers are more or less immune to powergaming/maximizing? If so, why? No.  I've seen it.6. Do you think that female roleplayers are generally ignorant about the rules, concentrating more on the stories and the roleplaying itself? No.7. Where do you see advantages/disadvantages of a group that features some/majority/none female roleplayers? Wider social viewpoint, same as any other variation in gaming group.8. Why do you think that male roleplayers are the vast majority in the hobby? Because is a hobby that has generally appealed to young male.  Why are more males involved in hunting?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? Yes.  Stronger penetration of females in goth/vampire subculture.10. Are there systems/settings out there in your estimation that are completely devoid of female roleplayers? If so, why? F.A.T.A.L. probably, Reason s obvious for anyone who has read it.11. 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? Same percentage as the males.  Some people don't want to learn -- are participating for other reasons.12. 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?  Only female woujld be impossible for me since I'm male.  Only male, yes.How do those groups differ in style? See #313. 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?  Define 'a lot'.  It happens -- happens with males too.14. Have you ever seen relationships break in a group, maybe even while playing? If so, why? Yes; same reasons reltionships break elsewhere -- lack of compatibility/trust/differing goals/differing expectations.15. Do you think that female gamers are more prone to draw private problems/conflicts into the actual roleplaying than males? If so, why?  No.  Males do it all the time.16. 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?   No.  17. Do you think that the general approach of a female gamer is different from a male gamer? If so, how?  Individually, probably.  Over the population -- no.</blockquote>
