Actually, I think 25% is right IME. But less of them surf in the net for RPGstuff and the percentage of DMs is lower as well... so we might get screwed results. Even if 11.5% do not look bad.
 

My group is 40% female (2 out of 5). My wife (who games) is rounding up a whole pack of her friends to play an all-girl game that I've agreed to run.

Mainly because my teenage geek self would never forgive me if I passed up the opportunity to DM a group of stewardesses. I owe it to me.

:D
 

Kids have been sick, so I've been out of the loop. I see the poll is generating the figure that about 10 percent of votees are female. The same poll on another big website has generated (though with FAR fewer replies and votes) the same number. Thanks, all.

However, to generalize, there seem to be fewer women involved in CCGs than in RPGs (as a percentage), and even fewer in wargames. Only type of gaming at Gen Con that has significantly more women involved is LARPs.
 

I can't believe no one has done the usual "this poll doesn't have enough options" complaint yet. :D

Group I GM: 6 Male, 1 Female.

Recent other games I've been in are in similar ratio. While I know multiple women RPGers, it seems we don't manage to have two in the same place at the same time that often.
