From my experience (i am a guy) I have not seen very many females gamers until the 1990's. Before that it was not only rare but I can only recall only 3 or 4 that I knew and played AD&D with only two of them. One was a DM of the highest caliber and non of us would cross her for fear of what she would throw at us. Those days are gone now though and she has moved on to other things. I for one would love to be in another game Dm'd by a female because it kept us (my old group) more focussed on our characters actions. By people telling these guys are jerks and whatnot, I can only say they are merly immature and are testing your authority as a DM. You have stated repeatedly that they treat you as normal as a player but when you put on the DM hat they changed? You need to just let them know how you feel is all. Once you set the ground rules and then enforce them you all can then enjoy your game. I like the Death die as an idea for the simple reason that it changes the focus to another player having to bring it on so to speak. I also think that in and of itself can be a sorta game for the player: Who can piss off the Dm enough to get the death die to roll?  Some call this being a disiplnarien but I call it being a DM. They will then know where they stand with you and if they don't like it let em go.  I am sure London has gamers all over the place try a Games Workshop store if all else fails. Now Back to the female Dm thing.....I like the idea that games are no longer being played by fat old guys in the basement of a crumbling building. Female gamers have brought alot of stuff with them to the gaming tables. They made our groups role-play more than before. I can even remember one session where the poor girl forgot someone was role-playing with her and she almost came to fisticuffs with the guy (it was really awesome). I also had one of the strangest sessions in 25yrs with a female gamer trying to assert her characters point of view to the group through her characters actions. I must commend you on trying to Dm a group of guys...don't let a few guys ruin your aspirations to DM. If your ever in the States at Origins let me know, you can run a game for my gaming group. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> There is great advice on these boards and I really enjoyed these posts here.
