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.

How many girls in your gaming group?

Depends on the type of gaming and the type of game. White Wolf and CoC tends to bring out many women. Video games nowadays bring out anywhere from 40%~50%. Once Upon a Time and Uno can bring that up into the 80%.

That and I don't just have one gaming group, even for RPGs.

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.

As of this moment one. But most of the gaming groups I've had in the last ten years where composed in majority of women, with my first Ptolus campaign being my 100% female group besides the DM (myself), of course.

Currently, none. I'm not sure what I think about this.

Re: spouses... my ex-wife tried to make me quit gaming, and I learned my lesson: don't marry psychotic control-freaks. Now 18 years later, I'm still looking for one who isn't....


Note: I still date them, I just won't marry another one.

There are three women playing in my Bushido campaign. Normally it would be four, but work has caused one of my players to drop out for awhile.

None nowadays.

One of the guys' girlfriend played for a year or so with us.

Our Pathfinder DM is a lady.  I feel sorry for her having to babysit the boy's club -- there's a lot of facepalming going on from behind the DM's screen.
"In a way, the Lands of Dream are far more brutal than the worlds of most mainstream games. All of the games set there have a bittersweetness that I find much harder to take than the ridiculous adolescent posturing of so-called \'grittily realistic\' games. So maybe one reason I like them as a setting is because they are far more like the real world: colourful, crazy, full of strange creatures and people, eternal and yet changing, deeply beautiful and sometimes profoundly bitter."

Currently in the adult group, 3 men and 4 ladies.  One set is a married couple who were both gamers before they met (met through our group).  The 3 ladies are single and while the 2 remaining men are married, neither of the spouses are gamers.

In my Call of Cthulhu campaign we've got seven regular players - two of which are women, but there are also 3 other guys that only show up occaisionally, so figure that percentage out how you will.

Normally 2 in a 6 person group. Though it usually oscillates between 25% to 50%.

For the people who have women gaming in your groups, how many of them are significant others of men who are also gaming in your groups?
Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

Yes, Sean Connery\'s thumb does indeed do megadamage. - Spinachcat

Isuldur is a badass because he stopped Sauron with a broken sword, but Iluvatar is the badass because he stopped Sauron with a hobbit. -Malleus Arianorum

"Tangency Edition" D&D would have no classes or races, but 17 genders to choose from. -TristramEvans

I have one married couple in my group. They were gamers who met at a local convention and.... The other two are not dating anyone in the group.
