This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Greetings!

Hi, gang. Can we please refrain from doing the whole modern psuedo-science brain debates? The thread here has been going nicely about game styles, adventure styles, pacing, downtime activities, handling roleplaying with woodland creatures and romance at noble balls and celebrations. And shopping activities. :) And differences in women and male gamers expectations and different goals and priorities during campaign play.

Thank you. I think such would be appreciated by many. Keep the topic on focus, please.

Semper Fidelis,

Quote from: S'mon;1080183Oh, my 31/3 game RSVPs are now at 1 male player & 5 female -  I know one of the women well, one other has played a few sessions, the the other 4 players I don't know and we'll make PCs on the day. Should be interesting! *eek* :)

Greetings!

That sounds like it's going to be an awesome game, my friend!

Shark man, no joke, the girl nightlife sounds super fantastic. Like, sign me up for that game. You want to drop some mad advice on how we can recreate that at our tables? Hell I'd pay for it.

Fair enough. Sorry, SHARK.

Playing here in the Bay Area with the circles I do, I get a fair number of LGBT players, which I think clashes with some traditional male/female divides. Last session of a steampunk FATE campaign, the players all got into partying with a group of wild hookah-smoking toughs in a cliffside city on the border of a desert. The players enjoy a mix of this sort of thing and more actiony-type stuff. (Well, one of the PCs is a succubus who often has to be held back from sleeping with everything in sight - but she's also prone to just beating people up. Demon and all.) The players there are mostly LGBT.

The city is just a dungeon with its threats wearing friendly masks first. ;) And your greatest threats prefer you intimately close...

And now you know why Vampire the Masquerade was an EXPLOSION! :D

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

Quote from: Trond;1079897I was a bit surprised that nobody has come by to lecture you on how men and women really are not different in any way. But then I remembered that this is theRPGsite.

Shark, you should be ASHAMED.
You should be ashamed because there is no difference between Men and WYMMON!  You are a dirty, disgusting member of the Male Patriarchy!!

How is that?

Quote from: Larsdangly;1080101This site has gotten so weird about gender. There is a constant stream of kvetching about how 'those other sites' obsess about gender politics, but when I (rarely) drop in here, this is the place where there I'm sure to find active threads where frequent posters blather about what women are like, and what men are like, and how different they are, and how unfair the outside world is toward men, and so forth. It is all so predictably sexist and dopey.


Huh-huh.  Dangly.  Huh-huh.

Shark,
That sound great!  I bet my wife would love a game with a mix of shopping and combat!  She does a LOT of that IRL (shopping, not combat.  Unless you consider our arguments combat.  Or if you get in her way when she is shopping.).

We used to play "Rich Merchants", as PCs, in our RQ2 game. Basically, our PCs would dress up as rich merchants, wander around the seedy part of town, spending money in bars and loudly talking about the common people, until we got mugged, then would have to "reluctantly defend ourselves", which normally involved ultra-violence on the muggers. Probably not what the OP would call a nightlife scenario, but maybe it is.

My wife like animals, so she wants there to be lots of things she can acquire as pets. She also wants places to drink, and people's faces to smash in.

One of my male players loves shopping, though, he is happy any time there is a market to visit, especially if it is full of meaningless but pretty trinkets.

My other female player wants to read books, and find libraries.

I am not convinced that any of these things are gendered. They are just individual preferences. The preferences of your players, Shark, may also be say more about how they have been raised than their genders?

Quote from: SHARK;1080011Hey there, Bren! Man, the whole urban Musketeers thing sounds awesome! I can definitely get into urban based adventures. I watched this series, "Musketeers" I think it was called, by the BBC. It was a fantastic series. Very well acted, and very well done all the way around.
It was a very fun campaign. The link to my blog has some of the information from that campaign.

Some of us were watching the BBC "Musketeers" during the same time (real world) as our campaign. It made for good inspiration. If memory serves my wife and I have the series on DVD. I thought the series lost something when Peter Capaldi (Who is he, you ask?) left for a different series.

Spain has/had a TV show based on the Captain Alatriste novels. I wish that would show up on Netflix.

A bunch of individual preferences can add up to gender tendencies. Stereotypes are a lot more accurate for large groups than for individuals.
