Message: <blockquote data-quote="GM Lent" data-source="post: 9779588" data-attributes="member: 6798775">I first heard of VtM when I was 16. I had been accepted into a "Gifted & Talented" high school located in the corner of a college campus about 2 hours from where I'd lived prior to then and several of my new friends had the WoD books. I never played in a strictly VtM game, but in several general WoD games that had Vampire characters.I was never a huge fan, tbh, but I played in a bunch of diffferent games and even LARPed a bit. I was frustrated that none of the character options really matched my character concepts (this was true regardless of the WoD variant, but I mostly played Mage characters) and how it was so difficult to actually DO anything. My favorite of those games eventually was Changeling; for some reason I had an easier time with the super low power level in that game.My friend group had a bunch of girls in it; I estimate that our gaming groups were generally 40-60% girls. A couple of them ran games, but only one ran WoD games IIRC. I don't remember the WoD groups being a higher percentage of girls than, say, our D&D or Toon games were, but again we had what I came to realize later was an unusually large proportion of female players anyway. It's also worth noting that there were several all-girl groups (and all-boy groups), due mostly to the fact that the dormitories were separate and we would want to keep playing in the evenings and nights after we were chased upstairs by the residence staff.</blockquote>
