Message: <blockquote data-quote="TheAuldGrump" data-source="post: 2167371" data-attributes="member: 6957">Every single group I have ever run a game for has had at least one female player. And I have been playing since 1975.Most of the groups have also had players who tried to bring girlfriends/wives into the game, with varying degrees of success. It runs to about 50% as to whether the significant other continues to play more than 2 weeks. It seems like the more enthusiastic they are to start with the more enthusiastic they remain, while those who are dragged to the game do not have a good time, and never do, often they make sure that nobody else does either. Curiosity counts as enthusiasm in this instance.All the groups have acted pleased as punch when a female player was there for more than a month. Those female gamers who joined when the groups were forming invariably stayed with the group, but then they are also the ones who answered posters on the walls at game shops. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> I do not think that I have run into more than one or two really antifemale players, though I have met some who tried way too hard to be friendly, while smelling like the bottom of a baboon cage.My current OGL Steampunk group has six players, two are female, and no baboon cage. Ah well, folk's experiences differ.The Auld Grump</blockquote>
