Message: <blockquote data-quote="Arravis" data-source="post: 309981" data-attributes="member: 327">I agree and disagree.I agree that not all women like to shop. I also agree to the concept that more women then men like to shop, on average. That doesn't mean that 100% of women like to shop, but as long as it's 51% or higher, the odds are in your favor that women do like to shop. (Interestingly enough, my gf doesn't like to shop in real-life, but does enjoy it in-game.)One of the features of my DM'ing style is that I like to be prepared for most situations. The players suddenly do something that they think is totally unexpected, and when they do I pull out hand-outs or some other info on the very "unexpected" thing they are doing. I just like to cover my bases and to make sure that I have at least considered most of them before a game and have come up with contingencies, etc (I put alot of effort into not rail-roading my players).In the last two years (after a long hiatous) of DM'ing, I've been caught off-guard and by surprise by some of the things the girls have done and come up with. I can DM on the fly ok, but I definately do better when prepared. So, before a game I plan things out and try to think of the things they might possibly do. I can ussually cover 95% of the bases when it comes to the guys, but I don't get those kind of results with the girls.So I wrack my brain and try to think of all the things they might do. I have to use assumptions, stereotypes, etc to try to come up with something to help me out in those unexpected situations. I hope this better explains my situation, perhaps I'm just expressing my points incorrectly.</blockquote>
