What's the gender mix at your table?

All dudes and all family at the moment. My father age 70, me age 45, brother age 38, and my son age 13.

That is heartwarming. A cool way to spend family time.

my two groups are 5 guys and 1 girl who plays when she can make it since she moved out of the immediate area

and the one I DM is 7 guys and 1 girl

 

[Harzel]

4 men, 4 women (including male DM).

I think people with tables full of men are less likely to respond.

Ah, I did make it anonymous at least, to let people feel they could be honest without judgement.

 

[robus]

We have neither "female identifying" nor "male identifying." So... now what?

Yeah, sorry about that!

 

[FrogReaver]

I can’t respond. No one at my table identifies as male. We are all male.

Edit: Never mind, I see the point being made

I am curious how the groups with significant female representation were formed. Was everyone friends prior to forming the group? Formed through random meetings at the game store? Relatives?

I haven’t played with a lot of women. Back in the 80s the only female I played with was a friend of mine’s mother. She was a great lady (and recently passed away).

Since I started playing again about 10years ago, I have only had three regular female players (at separate times) out of maybe 20 or so people I have played with. These groups were mostly formed through Meetup.com. My three sons all play but I cannot get my daughter (or wife) interested.

I've been gaming since late 70s and sadly only had 2 female gamers in that time. I dragged my wife in to add numbers with a couple of my sons (we have 4 boys, two weren't old enough at the time), not her ting and it didn't last long. Also had a short lived (DM quit) online game with a friend and her partner. But he's more into face to face and/or MtG, and she doesn't have the time anymore. So yeah 30 years of gaming, very male
