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.

New post to avoid the male outrage of the other one.

So the Green Ronin recruitment drive has me curious but how many female game writers / designers are there?

From the top of my head
Jenna Moran
Margaret Weis

Who else and what did they write/design?

Cat Tobin is Managing Director and co-owner of Pelgrane Press who did an anthology of games by female authors last IIRC. Their Stone Skin Press imprint does use a mix of female writers as well.

A quick look down the list of authors for TSR/WOTC scenario authors has Gwendolyn F M Kestrel. Jean Wells did Palace of the Sliver Princess early on (1981) even if they had Tom Moldvay do a rewrite later. There are several other female scenario authors in later years as well.

As far as Indie games go there are a number of authors/designers in that space that are female.
Wikipedia lists a few as well List_of_female_role-playing_game_professionals

Sarah Newton comes to mind. I'm familiar with her work on Achtung! Cthulhu, World War Cthulhu, and Chronicles of Future Earth.

Barbra Blackburn is one of the oldest, continuous, women in the hobby and is forgotten way too often. She edits KoDT, writers for Kenzer&Co games and has been doing so for like 30 years.

The real question is, how many of them are fascists, and would you give them any of your money?

Five posts to get to the outrage. About what I expected.

How about Jennell Jaquays?

Emily Care Boss, who most recently worked on Bubblegumshoe.

Michelle Nephew has had a hand in a lot of projects over at Atlas Games over the years.

Dipping back into history, there is Jean Wells who worked on B3 The Palace of the Silver Princess.
