[QUOTE="sjmiller, post: 4610865, member: 17262"] In the last campaign I started, several years ago, I started with a very large group of players: 6 men and 3 women, plus me as the DM. To aid me in running a brand new game, and to better avoid some confusion, I asked people to create characters who matched their gender. This saved a lot of time with avoiding pronoun problems, believe me! I also reminded the group that I run games with little or no sexual content, as it is just not an area of RPGs I care to handle. That, however, is a different topic. While I do not strongly object to people playing characters of the opposite gender, I find that few do it well or with the purest of intentions. I find the same is true of a great many people who play characters of a different sexual orientation then the player. Does this mean I do not [b][i]ever[/i][/b] allow cross-gender or alternate sexuality characters? No, but I do not actively encourage them. [/QUOTE]
