Message: <blockquote data-quote="Voneth" data-source="post: 792516" data-attributes="member: 1016">My gaming g/f claims that she started out with an all girl group, most of which didn't game before. In fact, she started the group so she could be a newbie GM with newbie players. About 5 years later, she still runs games, but she if very picky about what she plays and who she plays with. I am a little more laid back about my gaming, but I do find that as my standards slide so does the players I game with slide into the stereotypes, which is what I think a lot of closet gamers have a problem with. (Funny enough, I never hear anyone say, "So you like NFL football, isn't that the sport where guys paint themselves in team colors in sub freezing weather just to look like idiots on national television. -- Hence my theory, if DnD made billions of dollars, no one would question our hobby.) Actualy a lot of Catholic people have no problem with DnD (It sort of goes hand in hand with the idea of taking your religious text as parables, not literal truth.) Though there are some. It has been mostly Proestant people that have given me hellfire for rolling dice. I generally call the '80s the "Second Red Scare" because a lot of religions were calling everything they didn't understand or like as Satanic such as  television, metal rock, DnD, MTV, etc. I agree. Remember me talking about those games were my standards are lower than my g/f? I wouldn't introduce to those game, her reaction would be like "You play in games like that?! How could you when your GM style is so different." My answer is to that would be "I can't say no to my gaming friends even if they are running a lame game." See above parethtical comment on NFL.</blockquote>[/QUOTE]
