Guess it's the hormones, lol!

Hi Fljotsdale. I am female, will be 27 soon, and I started with BG. I bought it and now I am hooked. I have only had my computer for 2 1/2 yrs so I haven't been playing for very long. And I am a stay at home mommy.

I'm male (25),but my partner was the one who actually got me into PnP roleplaying,she was the dungeon mistress (no sniggering),for a goup of four other females who used to get together every sunday.She eventually roped (I said NO SNIGGERING) me into playing one day and I have been on the receiving end of much good natured ribbing by the devilish ladies ever scince.

Fljotsdale,

Hello! Checking in and uh don't worry, I'll pack LoA off with me when I leave and maybe you could get someone to clean up that drool-puddle he's making

I'm 40, female, have a BA and MA in Russian (lang/lit) and work as a Secretary/admin assistant at a university. I have finished IWD and am puttering in 2 BG2 games, one single and one multi-player. I've been around as a member since January.

Melusine's right, there are several threads out there on who we are, our gender and ages, etc. This is nice to do every now and then to let new folk know who we all are and tell us about themselves! I remember there weren't all that many of us back in January! Nice to meet you!

Hello Fljotsdale!

I am coming over from the Wizards & Warriors Forum to be counted as well!

Female, age 39, I have been playing CRPG's for at least ten years!

Lots of ladies at the W&W forum, including Wyvern, the moderator! I'll post a thread to get them over here to be counted as well!

: )

Hehe! That's 9-2 now!
Nice to meet all you gaming ladies - as well as my Precious, lol! Maybe we should should set up a header later, to say how many women have responded to this. May give game creators pause for thought!

I'm a 24-year-old woman who plays Wizards & Warriors. I used to play some of the old Wizardry games. Before that, I played games on the incredibly old Intelevision. (Did any of you ever have one of those?)
I have degrees in philosophy and religion and am currently working in a customs brokerage firm. Playing these games gives me a way to take out some of my frustrations!
By the way...do any of you ever meet guys who are just taken aback by the fact that you are a female gamer? I have several male friends that just think I'm the coolest because I play Magic the Gathering, play rpg's (pen and paper as well as on the computer), and love sci-fi/fantasy books and movies.

Hi Moni, Nice to meet you! And YES please do send them over here! I've been meaning to go invite everyone to the General Discussions board and maybe they'll all come take a peak if you post for the ladies!

Great to see so many of us posting here!

Hey CyberPixie!

Great nickname! Yes I play and talk about computer games mostly with male friends (several of whom are married to friends of mine and I 'borrow' them to play). I have one female friend who is getting interested in IWD because her husband and I talk about it alot!

Nice to meet you!
