[QUOTE="MechaPilot, post: 6874066, member: 82779"] Forgive me, but because you mentioned changes to the game itself, I have to ask what changes we're talking about. Are we talking about the mechanics of the game? The last time that D&D changed a mechanic that specifically appealed to me as a woman and not just as a gamer with my own individual preferences was when they removed the Strength limitation on female characters. Are we talking about the game explicitly mentioning that you can play transgendered or non-heterosexual characters? While I openly support the game making these welcoming and inclusive statements, I have to say that no DM is in any way forced by those statements to allow transgendered or non-heterosexual characters at her table; in the same way that no DM is required to allow an elf character to have green hair or gold eyes, despite that being mentioned as possibilities in the description of the elf race. Beyond those two things, I am having difficulty coming up with parts of the game itself that seem like they were altered or added to appeal to specific audiences. [/QUOTE]
