Message: <blockquote data-quote="Willowisp" data-source="post: 3562960" data-attributes="member: 52592">Thank you... and now for some more questionsThank you all for your detailed and thoughtful responses. They have sparked a few additional thoughts and questions. If you don't mind talking about it, I'd love to listen.Gender and RPGs.My general impression is that the majority of players are male but sense a female community is present if not as vocal. Stormborn, you indicate you met your wife in the community. Do you feel women are equally represented or is that something that is still evolving? Finally, if there are any women in the community here, I would love to hear from you. For whatever it's worth, I'm female.Religion.Again Stormborn, you have a religious background and are currently engaged with a Christian community. Given your level of involvement in RPGs (significant by your description), how would you describe balancing the two worlds? Have you come up against intolerance and, if so, how did you navigate it? While my understanding is admittedly limited I do know that certain elements of the Christian community have reacted to RPGs negatively. Your activity in two seemingly opposing worlds interests me. I'd love to hear more about that if you feel inclined to share.Game Curiosity.Most all of you indicate the best way to learn about RPGs is to play. I would agree. Are there venues to do this online free of charge and, if so, are there any you would recommend for someone completely green? Failing that, it sounds like I should seek out players in my community. How likely (purely an opinion question here) are people to open up their circles to someone like me? My time is somewhat limited, hence my question about playing online. I suppose I could find the answers digging around the forum a bit more but any way finding help you'd be willing to offer would be greatly appreciated.Other Gaming Habits.Are you interested in other types of gaming? Video games, etc. If so, which ones? What platforms? And what percentage of time do you devote to gaming outside the RPG format?Umbran...Is that a picture of you? Cause if it is, you're easy on the eyes.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  Sorry, off topic. Couldn't help myself.Finally, any resources you might know of to share would be great. Links and what have you.Thanks again so much for all of your thoughtful responses. I look forward to getting to know more.</blockquote>
