why do these two things not mix very well?

role-playing games WITH gurls!

I used to play D&D back in the day with about a 50/50 mix of boys and girls.

That wasn't D&D that was an orgy!

"you see 4 orgies walking down the corridor towards you"

MY CHARACTER HAS CHARISMA 18!!!!

I also used to orgy with a 50/50 mix of people and D&D. Not advisable, it's quite difficult to shag a second edition player handbook. Not impossible, but difficult (the key is scissors).

wow Tom, that's a +2 saving throw against lady-powers

Is Sims the RPG for girls? My girlfriend plays Sims more than I do. Maybe it's because they can fall in luv.

Do we have to talk to the lusty barmaid to get the info about that orc hideout *again*?

― alext (alext), Thursday, 27 March 2003 16:34 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh. I was thinking of games like Doctor & Nurse, Teacher & Student, Small Business Man & IRS Auditrix

I met one of my first gfs at a D&D game.

What's that play about RPGs, maybe by Ayckbourn? That has girls in it...

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 27 March 2003 16:49 (twenty-three years ago)

There are live action role-players who do their thang in chopwell wood (near us) on sundays. We've seen them quite a few times (battleaxes in the back of Nissan Micra = a bizzare sight) I'm sure I've mentioned this before, actually. Anyway, somewhere between 1/3 1nd 1/2 of them are usually wymmyn, FWIW.

I think we can all put to rest the "womenless geekdom" stereotype. Its nearly, if not, 50%/50% at this point.

I prefer the Versus Gurl.

Although hooking up with a girlfriend at a D&D game where the DM had eyes for that particular girl and then us coming back to continue playing D&D in the following weeks under the terroristic reign of a now vengeful evil evil DM = total dud.

Fontaine Toups! (is the girl in Versus)

a friend got to play D&D DMed by Gary Gygax DM once. Apparently Mr Gygax spent the whole game flirting with the lady players, in a somewhat creepy manner.

he also insisted on playing all the rules.

It struck me last night that the reason I think of RPGs as a boy's activity is that I only played them at all-boy's schools.

Do Oasis reference Call of Cthulu on Columbia? I always thought so...

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Friday, 28 March 2003 13:41 (twenty-three years ago)

dunno... I'll check when I get home. they could be referencing the books rather than the game, maybe?

Dungeonmasters never laugh at the size of one's nose

― Geddy Lee, Friday, 28 March 2003 15:27 (twenty-three years ago)

The Ayckbourn play was Wildest Dreams, btw. I don't suppose it was actually very representative of the reality though.

I have heard these stories too. Gygax is generally a bit of a twunt.

(obv now have outed myself as roleplaying girl; I have played in all-female games too, and they have such a different vibe. much less going crazy/bloodlust...it's all very grim and calculated killing.)

― teeny (teeny), Friday, 28 March 2003 15:40 (twenty-three years ago)

in fairness to Gygax, he's only really doing what rockstars and the like do - using his prestige in a particular milieu to up his chances of getting laid.

mmm, roleplaying games. I must mail my Over The Edge group and see if they want to finish Extreme Partying On Al Amarja.

Anyone here ever play Neverwinter Nights online? It was a bit of a failed experiment as games go (bad interface, hard to find players who didn't treat it like Counterstrike), but me and a friend did have loads of fun DM'ing people around the little village we created.

We had about 12 little quests people could do through our NPC's when we weren't there (mostly very silly ones based around the towns supply of corn) which were great to script. Once we led a group on about a 4/5 hour quest we made up as we went along which was pretty much the best experience I've ever had with a computer game.
