Hello Cloudbringer and thank you for the warm welcome to this side of the Ironworks Forums! I posted a thread as promised and see that CyberPixie has graced this post with her presence as well! Thanks CyberPixie!
CyberPixie, I too get alot of respect from male gamers that I know for having played Magic The Gathering in Tournaments as well as being a fan of Wizardry (since Wiz 1) and the Might and Magic series. Looking forward to expanding my experiences in the gaming world ; ) esp. since my roomate has games that date from the 1980's to games just released. The choices are vast and a decision has been hard to make. Currently playing a slow-going second round of W&W and trying out "Soulbringer" in between all the yard work and gardening projects that I am commited to completeing this spring. : ) Moni |

Here I am... another one from the Wizards and Warriors forum...standing up (well, sitting really!) to be counted! I am 42, and between my husband and son and myself, we have 5 computer of various 'flavors'. (Not counting PS2, Sega, Nintendo 64, etc.) I am the 'network administrator', as they call me, because when the computers 'malfunction' they hollar for me to fix 'em! We seriously have more games than can be counted, and have honestly considered wallpapering with game boxes!

Not to portray myself as a sensitive, nurturing, supportive male (one ex-wife, one ex-fiance and numerous ex-girlfriends would put the lie to that), I would be honestly surprised if there is not a significant population of female RPG gamers.
I got into these because I am a HUGE Tolkien fan. In high school and college/university, most of the other avid Tolkien readers I met were women. I just figured this is a natural extension. Sorry to intrude upon "the Sisterhood." Perhaps I should collect my "drunken" associate and depart. LOL ------------------ Next time I send some damned fool, I'll go myself... |

Female?? You betcha! I'm 29 years old and have been playing RPGs ever since I first set my eyes on Rogue back in... back in... gads I don't remember that far back. I love RPGs, especially the first person types and those that don't require fast reflexes because I don't have the best eyesight. I like games to be in depth, with fun story lines. The longer it takes you, the better! (so long as there are wonderful boards like Ironworks for tips!)
I also like fantasy books and movies, and some sci-fi books and movies, though I find much of these genres try to take themselves a wee bit too seriously. I love a good lampoon! I bet there a lot of RPG playing women out there, and even more would enjoy playing if they thought to give it a chance. Forget the stereotypes - grab a sword and get adventuring!!!

LoA found this place, and kept it to himself, what happened to share and share alike?
Good to see so many female RPGs, still that said the ratio here still makes them a rare breed, maybe we should offer recruitment endorsements for ladies joining the hobby? ------------------   Holy Avenger of the OHF HATS for sale baby! Sponsored by Yorick Your ad here? Call 112 -221 -123 |
