Gaming


Nice 10 sided earrings. I wonder if that means more females are gaming? I seems like it still unusual for women to game. I game about once a month right now - we have a small group (4 regulars and the GM who happens to be my husband) but one of the other gamers is a woman from work. When we played online games more often than not it seemed female avatars were actually played by men. I always had a female avatar - other players truly are more likely to just give you things in game (gold, armor, weapons...) and they seem to expect less. The one time I played a male avatar it seemed other players were much more annoyed when I made a mistake - mistakes they wouldn't even comment on if my female avatar made! My husband usually plays female avatars too for some reason.
