A thread over on The RPGPundit's Forum (the Mike Mearls' Penis thread) has prompted me to start this thread here.

Some time ago, we had a "who else would you want to see join theRPGsite" thread, that ended up being relatively successful in bringing in some interesting and valuable contributors to this site.

Now, JHKim has suggested that one of the reasons this place is a "Sausage Fest" (something I've acknowledged to be true) is that many people are here by invitation and no women are being invited.
Personally, I think that most people who joined here were not specifically invited to join, most found the place via my Blog, threads on RPG.net, other forums, or they were holdovers from the previous incarnations of this forum.

However, I know a good idea when I see one, so I figured to get the rest of the membership on this: in the interest of making it clear that theRPGsite would welcome women gamers posting here, can any of you think of any women gamers you know from other fora that you think would find this place interesting/amusing, and would not be afraid of a Free Speech environment where they would not get special treatment (for better or worse), and would revel in the possibility of participating in a forum that's no-holds-barred where you only score points based on the content of the contributions you make?

Let's brainstorm and see if we can come up with anyone, and if we can, let's invite them!

What's more, if anyone can think of other ways we can bring attention to the site for women gamers (or gamers in general), feel free to talk about that too.

I'd like Plume and Lolth, and if she's around Cynthia Celeste Miller (she hasn't been active even on her own lists lately.)


However, as much as I'd like them around to say what they want, I'm not sure if this is the best venue for that.

I'm not sure of specific ways to bring attention to this site to a specific not-me group though. I think each site has its own draws, and sometimes the draws of a site won't cross certain boundaries or interests.

GamerGirl from the SJG forums.

 She loves TRAVELLER in almost all its forms, she is a major "STAR TREK"& Science Fiction  fan, can be very opinionated, plays rock & Roll guitar.......

.....she already has had to censor herself a couple of time for cussing over on the orange and Friendly.

 Should I invite her ? Or would that be one TRAVELLER RPG fanatic too mamy ?

zdashamber, though it'd be up to her if she can stand being on the same forum as you, Pundit.

Cynthia Miller, and my friend Kendra Mealy who upped and moved to Chicago, the right barking twit.

Well, invite away guys, though I seriously doubt Zdashamber would be interested in joining a place that was so "patriarchal" in its views, with evil masculine tools of oppresion like post counts.

I'd say no, don't.

And come to think of it, Jocelyn Robitaile of RPGnet might be a good addition here.

 I was told during some other topic discussion that Jocelyn was actually a male.

Jocelyn is, indeed, a fella.  It's just that French is cruel.

Damn the Internet's capability to hide gender! And the written French language, too! (Just to be thorough.)

Well, invite him anyways. He's always had some interesting opinions to read.

She swears AND she likes Traveller? She'll fit right in. Please invite her.

Tasty, but she's a computer-gamer.  I scorn her with open disdain. :snotty:

!i!

Rebecca Borgstrom.  Just to watch Pundit spontaneously develop rabies.
