[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 2516382, member: 2205"] Now, male players with female characters isn't a problem in my group, but here's a new twist for those who don't like it; I'm curious what you think. I'm starting a campaign tonight under Quickbeam as DM. My character is a male changeling rogue. The campaign starts in Diamond Lake (yes, it's Age of Worms), a small mining hell hole. My concept is that I came from the nearby "free city" and am a bit of an urban con man. In particular, my character liked to impersonate young ladies' husbands and sleep with them. Somehow or another he got caught with the mistress of a big crime boss type of guy, impersonating the crime boss, and he had to run. In fact, he had to leave the "free city" altogether and take up a disguise, so he's now living in Diamond Lake as a female half-elf who sings and dances in a tavern. So, I'm playing a male character, who in turn is playing a female character. It's my intention that although the other players know that I'm really a changeling, their [i]characters[/i] will not until I'm forced to give it away, and I'll just play the role of a female half-elf, only shapeshifting (if I can help it) when no one else is in sight. Any comments on this situation from those who don't like male players playing female characters? [/QUOTE]
