[QUOTE="Terraism, post: 511332, member: 278"] First off - were they just normal, 'goofing off' kinds of jokes, (you probably know what I mean,) or were they pretty pointed and obviously directed at you? If it's the former, telling jokes and making wisecracks as much as playing might be their thing; I've had groups before that play for the social aspect much moreso than the roleplaying one. That's just a difference in style, and you'll have to address that as anyone would address the group having different expectations for the game. If it's the latter, I'd say that it has more to do with your individual players (I'll be polite and not call them anything rude, though I might want to...) than anything else. As far as having female DM's, no, I've never had one, but it by no means has to do with gender - the majority of those I've played with are guys, because, well... of the standard gamer's complaint. That said, I've played with a small handful of girls from time to time (four, I think,) and while most of them were new to the game - thus not being interested in DMing - one was an old hand who just enjoyed playing. I can't see gender - prejudice, it sounds like you're asking - as having anything to do with it. [/QUOTE]
