New "confessions" article

[Clavis]

Did you really have to post her pic? Do you go around posting pictures of the men who write most of the articles discussed here?

All this is going to do is invite all sorts of catcalls, something a lot of women not surprisingly aren't fond of.

It's just completely unnecessary.

In my experience, its not that women dislike being hit on, it's that they dislike being hit on by guys they consider unattractive.

A good-looking, in-shape guy in an expensive outfit, driving a pricey car, is generally going to get a positive reaction when he whistles at a girl on the street.

On the other hand, a badly-dressed out-of-shape guy is going to arouse anger in a girl if he catcalls her.

Men, of course, are generally just as shallow. Read Maxim lately?

And for the record, she looks hot in the pic.

We do NOT need this thread to be about the author's appearance. No more discussion of that, please.

Thanks!

She does look hot in the pic.

To me though, she looks even more hot in her words. Witty, clever, imaginative and with a great ability to make fun of herself.

The fact that her writing helps opening up the market for RPGs is just icing.

Signed.

Honestly, her articles are one of the highlights of the new Dragon for me.

<OT>A survey I read this morning states that 48% of men rate "sense of humour" as what most attracts them to a partner, nothing else came remotely close. I'd agree.</OT>

Anyway I'm glad she writes these articles, sometimes we (the DND community) can be soo stuffy.

Oooh! Oooh! Let me guess:

"An item found by the PCs that does not perfectly match exactly what the player wanted and may not be supremely optimal for said player's character and is thus considered to be utter garbage."

Am I even remotely close?

Nope. You sound however, like the kind of DM that does it.

And what women hate most about men is that they lie.

Anywho, I quite enjoyed the article and I hope more are coming? Or is this just an excerpt from a book?

Except when they ask that question with no good answer, "does this make me look fat?"

What women really hate most about men is that they can't lie convincingly...

It's a regular column in Dragon. I've enjoyed them.
